Open a lane's dev server from its channel

Open a lane's dev server from the channel. On a local host, previews mostly mean running the app.

## Status

The agent-browser foundation landed in #163 (#50): agents can list, navigate and inspect tabs in Ace's dedicated browser. That doesn't provide this issue's channel dev-server preview: the Browser Preview tab still awaits a backend (`apps/app/src/layout/layout.tsx`), and `docs/browser-tools.md` excludes Browser Preview and managed browser launch. Starting and managing the dev server process relates to #53.

Tracked by #5. Migrated from [TODO.md — During dogfooding](https://github.com/githubnext/ace2/blob/21ac3df5cf6c963cf20e33b0d470ba45eac40150/TODO.md#during-dogfooding).

    While validating #184, the current layout only offers Chat, Diff, and Terminal, so I used Safari through Ace desktop tools against a separately served lane build and isolated host. The per-project creation smoke passed; this is another Browser Preview escape.
