e2e: remove the browse/promote authoring loop

[RhysSullivan]

Removes the browse -> promote authoring loop from the e2e dev CLI.

It was an over-built path (drive a flow, record the steps, codegen a test). Developing against the UI is just running Playwright, which is already in-repo and is the same thing a scenario() runs, so the recording/codegen layer earns nothing.

Deletes:

• e2e/src/journey/ (steps.ts, codegen.ts, run.ts)
• the browse and promote commands in e2e/scripts/cli.ts (back to up/identity/api/mcp/ledger/logs/down)
• the "Authoring from a live browser" section in e2e/AGENTS.md

The cross-OS desktop targets (desktop-macos/linux/windows) and everything else are untouched.

Greptile Summary

This PR removes the browse/promote authoring loop from the e2e dev CLI — a three-file src/journey/ module (steps.ts, codegen.ts, run.ts) plus the two CLI commands and their AGENTS.md documentation section are all deleted. The rationale is that the interactive browser-recording layer duplicated what running Playwright directly already does.

• Deletes ~420 lines across src/journey/steps.ts, src/journey/codegen.ts, and src/journey/run.ts, removing the step DSL, replay engine, and test-code generator entirely.
• Strips the browse and promote command handlers from cli.ts, leaving the CLI back at up/identity/api/mcp/ledger/logs/down.
• Removes the "Authoring from a live browser" section from e2e/AGENTS.md.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — straight deletion of an unused authoring layer with no remaining imports or consumers in the rest of the e2e suite.

All three deleted source files have zero imports left in the codebase, the CLI switch statement and HELP text are consistently updated, and the .gitignore already covers the .dev/ artefacts the journey commands produced. The only leftover is a one-line comment nit in the file header.

No files require special attention; the stale comment on line 15 of e2e/scripts/cli.ts is trivial.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
e2e/scripts/cli.ts	Removed browse/promote command handlers, journey-related helpers, and the two imports from the deleted journey module; one minor stale "journey" reference remains in the top comment block (line 15).
e2e/src/journey/codegen.ts	Deleted — contained JourneyFile type and scenario code-generation logic; no remaining imports from other files.
e2e/src/journey/run.ts	Deleted — contained the Playwright replay engine and page-control snapshot logic; no remaining imports from other files.
e2e/src/journey/steps.ts	Deleted — contained the Step DSL, executeStep, codegenStep, and stepLabel; no remaining imports from other files.
e2e/AGENTS.md	Removed the "Authoring from a live browser" section cleanly; surrounding sections are unaffected.

Comments Outside Diff (1)

1. e2e/scripts/cli.ts, line 13-15 (link)

   The phrase "crystallize the journey into a scenario" in the file-header comment now references a concept (journey) that no longer exists in the codebase — the src/journey/ module and the browse/promote commands were removed by this PR.
