Fix Android Playwright tests: connectOverCDP + card reconnect

launchBrowser() hangs indefinitely on Chrome 145 in the Android
emulator. Replaced with chrome-command-line proxy flag + force-stop/
restart + connectOverCDP. A polling retry loop (max 15 s) handles
CDP startup variance.

proxy_service.dart: added _ensureCardOpen() which calls isCardAttached()
and re-runs _tryOpenCard() if the emulator socket was closed (e.g. after
a bridge restart). Called before makeCredential and getAssertion in all
three handler paths so the app reconnects automatically without restart.

playwright.config.js: global timeout 180 s → 60 s.

All 4 tests in k_phone_android.spec.js now pass (16 s total).

+Session note (2026-05-09, Android Playwright tests passing):
+- All 4 tests in `tests/k_phone_android.spec.js` now pass (16 s total on emulator).
+- Root cause 1: `playwright.android.devices()[0].launchBrowser()` hangs indefinitely on Chrome 145 in the emulator. Replaced with: write `--proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8888` to `/data/local/tmp/chrome-command-line` via adb, force-stop + restart Chrome, forward `tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote`, and connect via `chromium.connectOverCDP()`. CDP becomes ready within 2–3 s; a polling retry loop (max 15 s) handles variance.
+- Root cause 2: `card_emulator_bridge.py` TCP socket in the Flutter app becomes stale when the bridge process is restarted. `_cardAttached` and `_cardCid` remained set in `proxy_service.dart` even after the Dart socket `onDone` fired. Added `_ensureCardOpen()` in `proxy_service.dart`, called before `makeCredential` (enrollment) and `getAssertion` (login and `/auth/get-token`). The method calls `isCardAttached()` and, if the socket is closed, re-runs `_tryOpenCard()` to reconnect.
+- Global Playwright test timeout reduced from 180 s to 60 s in `playwright.config.js`. No test should need more than 60 s (FIDO2 assertion via CardEmulator bridge is instant).
+- `adb` path: discovered at `~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb` (not in system PATH). The spec file now auto-detects it without requiring a modified PATH.
+- `card_emulator_bridge.py` must be running before the first card operation. The bridge does not need restarting between test runs — `_ensureCardOpen()` in the Flutter app reconnects automatically after a bridge restart.
+
 Session note (2026-05-08, per-request token binding + Playwright acceptance tests):
 - Per-request FIDO2 token binding implemented across the full stack:
   - `k_phone/lib/fido2_ops.dart`: `GetAssertionResult` carries `clientDataJson`; `getAssertion()` accepts optional bound challenge.

+- `tests/k_phone_android.spec.js`: all 4 tests pass (16 s total). Two root causes fixed:
+
+  1. **`launchBrowser()` hangs on Chrome 145.** Replaced with: write proxy flag to `/data/local/tmp/chrome-command-line`, force-stop + restart Chrome, `adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote`, `chromium.connectOverCDP()`. CDP polling loop handles startup variance (≤ 15 s).
+
+  2. **Stale emulator socket after bridge restart.** `proxy_service.dart`: added `_ensureCardOpen()` — checks `isCardAttached()` and re-runs `_tryOpenCard()` if the socket is closed. Called before `makeCredential` and `getAssertion` in all three handler paths (enroll, session login, `/auth/get-token`).
+
+- `playwright.config.js`: global timeout reduced from 180 s → 60 s.
+- `adb` auto-detected at `~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb` without PATH changes.
+- `card_emulator_bridge.py` is long-running; no restart needed between test runs.
