"""Read the in-app browser / preview pane in the Hermes desktop GUI.

The preview's content lives in the renderer (a sandboxed ``<webview>``), so this
round-trips through the gateway's blocking-prompt bridge like ``read_terminal``
(``preview.read.request`` -> ``preview.read.respond``). Registered as action=read of
`desktop_preview`; the agent dispatches here with the injected callback.
