Sends a valid JSON request to ptyc via stdin, verifies it parses the
request (exit 2 = syscall failed, not exit 1 = bad request). Full PTY
setup needs socketpair/SCM_RIGHTS which only PtySession provides.

The merged UI/platform thread on macOS (Flutter 3.41) freezes on any
synchronous work — file I/O, Process.run, even isolate spawning during
early frames. No timing workaround (Timer, addPostFrameCallback,
Future.delayed) was reliable.
Fix: spawn a backend isolate that owns the DaemonDispatcher, GitClient,
PqlClient, FilesService, EditorRegistry, and Toolchain resolution. The
main isolate stays free for rendering. Communication uses SendPort with
the existing IPC message protocol (IpcRequest/IpcResponse/IpcEvent) —
zero new serialization.
New files:
backend.dart — spawns isolate, manages SendPort/ReceivePort
backend_entry.dart — isolate entry point, boots all services
isolate_client.dart — replaces InProcessClient for production
Toolchain now exposes resolveToolchainPaths() as a top-level function
with self-contained PATH expansion (no module-level state that would
prevent isolate message passing).
ClideTestApp gains boot-sequence tests: compute(), Isolate.run(),
sequential Process.run, and the full resolve+exec chain.

Six improvements to the testmode harness:
1. Shell passthrough tests use the resolved shell instead of
hardcoded /bin/zsh.
2. Exit code reflects test results (non-zero on any failure).
3. JSON summary line for machine-readable parsing.
4. IPC round-trip smoke (ping, version, unknown-cmd, encode/decode).
5. Extension lifecycle smoke (register + activate files, diff,
git, terminal; theme loading for all four bundled themes).
6. Test categories via CLIDE_TESTMODE dart-define (toolchain, ipc,
extensions, all). Makefile exposes TESTMODE_CATEGORY variable.
Also switches main.dart from bool.fromEnvironment to
String.fromEnvironment so category values other than "true" work.

Standalone test harness activated via CLIDE_TESTMODE=true dart-define.
Runs a table of existence checks and exec tests against all external
binaries (git, pql, tmux, ptyc, zsh), including zsh-passthrough and
env variants. Results printed to stdout and shown in a minimal UI.
Auto-exits after 15 seconds.
make run-testmode launches it with a 60-second kill timer and pipes
output to /tmp/clide-testmode.log.
