Brooklyn Nicholson 0242946697 fix(tools): split the merged preview/terminal bridge timeout errors into the two cases they conflate
An empty bridge answer produced one string that blamed a closed tab
('The action timed out, or no GUI window answered. Open a page with
open_preview first.') even when the pane was open on an app older than
this backend — two cases with different remedies. drive_preview /
annotate_preview now lead with 'no preview tab is open' and name the
older-app possibility; read_preview / read_terminal name both the
nothing-open and bridge-timeout cases and the update-the-app remedy.

"""Interact with the in-app browser / preview pane in the Hermes desktop GUI (click, type, scroll).
Elements are addressed by legible refs from ``action="elements"`` (``btn-sign-in``); a ref survives
re-renders and only a navigation retires it, so the renderer answers with a *delta* instead of
re-sending the inventory. Round-trips through the gateway's blocking-prompt bridge
(``preview.act.request`` / ``preview.act.respond``); this module is schema + a thin dispatcher over
the platform-injected callback. ``desktop_ui`` toolset: desktop-sourced sessions only.
