fix(server): t3 browser setup reloads an AppArmor profile that is on disk but not loaded - #36490
On a Linux host that restricts unprivileged user namespaces (Ubuntu 23.10+, kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns = 1), T3's browser needs its AppArmor profile loaded in the kernel. t3 browser setup decided whether to do anything by checking only that /etc/apparmor.d/t3-chrome-headless-shell exists.
When the file exists but the profile is not loaded, every browser tab and HTML preview fails with Chrome's "No usable sandbox", the error tells the user to run sudo t3 browser setup, and that command prints "This host is ready for T3's browser." and does nothing. This state is real: it shows up on hosts restored from a disk image or snapshot that already contained the file, and after anything unloads the profile. A plain reboot is not affected, because the apparmor service loads /etc/apparmor.d at boot.
What changed
t3 browser setup as root, on a host with the restriction on, now always runs apparmor_parser -r on the profile (it is idempotent). It writes the file only when it is missing or differs from the profile T3 ships, and says which it did: "Reloaded the AppArmor profile at …" or "Wrote and loaded the AppArmor profile at …".
Without root, the list of loaded profiles cannot be read, so the launch failure is the only honest signal. When the file is present, setup still reports the host as ready, and now adds that if the browser still reports a blocked sandbox the profile is not loaded, with the exact sudo command to load it.
The launch-failure message (diagnoseLaunchFailure → "Run sudo t3 browser setup on the host once to allow it") is unchanged; it is now true in this state, so it and setup no longer contradict each other.
PreviewBrowserHost.sandboxBlocked (used for the server's startup warning) keeps its meaning; the userns check is split out as usernsRestricted so setup can use it alone.
The user guide's browser host setup section says that each run reloads the profile and when to run it again.
No new settings or flags.
How it was verified
New apps/server/src/cli/browser.test.ts runs the real browser setup command against a fake filesystem and process spawner: as root it loads the profile when the file is current, missing, or different (rewriting only in the last two); without root it loads nothing and prints the reload hint. All four cases fail on main's sources and pass here.
vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests).
On a real Ubuntu host with the restriction on and the profile file present, a non-root t3 browser setup from this branch printed the ready line followed by the new hint and command.
What was not verified
The root path (apparmor_parser -r) was not run for real: no root access was available on the test host, and its profile was already loaded (the browser launched with its sandbox), so the broken state could not be reproduced there either. The root behaviour is covered by the unit test only.
…disk but not loaded
On a Linux host with unprivileged user namespaces restricted, setup wrote
and loaded its AppArmor profile only when the profile file was missing. A
host whose file exists but whose kernel never loaded it (restored from an
image or snapshot, or after something unloaded the profile) was reported
as ready while every browser launch failed with "No usable sandbox".
Run as root, setup now always loads the profile and rewrites the file only
when it is missing or differs. Without root, where the loaded list cannot
be read, setup says the profile may not be loaded and names the command.

Browser setup now checks user-namespace restrictions and the on-disk AppArmor profile. For restricted root setups, it writes the expected profile only when needed and reloads it. Non-root output includes instructions for loading the profile.
Changes: Browser setup and AppArmor profile
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Restriction detection and setup branching apps/server/src/preview/PreviewBrowserHost.ts, apps/server/src/cli/browser.ts
PreviewBrowserHost reports whether Linux user namespaces are restricted. Browser setup uses this result to select root or non-root behavior and adds a profile-loading hint where applicable.
Profile loading and setup results apps/server/src/cli/browser.ts, apps/server/src/cli/browser.test.ts, docs/user/remote-access.md
Root setup writes the expected profile only when the on-disk profile differs, then loads it. Tests cover matching, missing, and differing profiles. The documentation describes profile reloading during setup.
Browser setup now reloads the AppArmor profile as root, which fixes the false "ready" report on restricted hosts. No functional defect was found. The profile logic still lives in the CLI handler rather than the service, which is a follow-up cleanup.

Explanation
The title names the main change: t3 browser setup now reloads an AppArmor profile that is on disk but not loaded. The changeset matches this. It adds root-path reload via apparmor_parser -r, non-root hints, and tests. The title follows the conventional commit format the template requests.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has Problem (the file-exists-but-not-loaded state, with environment and reproduction context), Change (root reload, non-root hint, launch-failure message unchanged, usernsRestricted split, docs update), Scope (a bug fix; no issue is linked and no reason is given for the absence of an issue, nor is a maintainer request noted), and Verification (unit tests, check:changed, a real Ubuntu non-root run, and an explicit list of what was not verified). The main gap is the Scope section: it has no linked issue and no justification for omitting one, which the template asks for.
Resolution
Optionally add a link to the issue that shows the bug, or a sentence explaining why no issue is needed, and note whether a maintainer requested the PR. The rest of the description is complete.

Move the profile reconciliation into the browser-host service.
The CLI handler now reads the AppArmor profile, compares it with the shipped profile, and writes it only when they differ. This read and comparison are new in this PR. The handler already wrote the profile and ran apparmor_parser before this change. PreviewBrowserHost exposes only checks such as sandboxBlocked and usernsRestricted, and it has no profile setup or load operation.
Add one service operation for the root-side profile step. It should compare the file, write it only when it differs, run apparmor_parser -r, and return whether it wrote or only reloaded the profile. The handler should decode the flags, call that operation, map its typed errors, and choose the console message. The effect-services guidance keeps filesystem, process, and multi-step work in the service, and this change should follow it.
