Oleg Isonen 6d2389ee54 fix: Stop managed preview process groups (#6037)
## Summary

- start managed POSIX preview servers in their own process group
- terminate the complete preview process group from `preview.stop`
- clean up the owned preview group before propagating `SIGHUP`,
`SIGINT`, or `SIGTERM`
- preserve the existing child-process fallback on Windows
- keep standalone `webstudio preview` signal behavior unchanged

## Root cause

The managed preview controller spawned an npm wrapper and stopped only
that direct child with `ChildProcess.kill()`. React Router runs below
that wrapper, so the dev server could survive as an orphan. Its
inherited stdout/stderr pipes could also keep `webstudio mcp run` alive
after the manifest had completed.

## Impact

`preview.stop` now terminates the npm wrapper and all descendants. If
the CLI is terminated while it owns a managed preview, it kills that
process group before re-propagating the original signal to itself.

## Todo

- [x] Reproduce the missing process-group cleanup in regression tests
- [x] Isolate managed POSIX previews in their own process group
- [x] Stop the full group on `preview.stop`
- [x] Stop the full group on CLI termination signals
- [x] Preserve standalone preview behavior
- [x] Run an independent real subprocess test with an npm wrapper and
long-lived grandchild
- [x] Review documentation impact — existing MCP documentation already
describes `preview.stop` as ending the owned preview, so no docs change
is required
- [x] Verify fixture impact — no fixture inputs or generated outputs are
affected

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter webstudio test` — 58 files, 945 tests passed
- `pnpm --filter webstudio typecheck` — passed
- targeted `oxlint`, `oxfmt`, and `git diff --check` — passed
- regression tests were demonstrated failing without the process-group
and signal cleanup, then passing with it
- independent real-process test on macOS / Node 22.22.1:
- `preview.stop` removed the npm wrapper, server, and long-lived
grandchild in 458 ms; harness exited in 0.93 s
- parent `SIGTERM` removed the complete process group in 0.01 s; harness
exited with expected status 143
  - all observed PIDs were absent afterward
- agent evaluations were not run because they require separate explicit
approval
