fix: prevent tests from writing to real ~/.spawn/history.json (#2423)

* fix: set SPAWN_HOME in preload and add fs-sandbox guardrail test

The test preload now sets SPAWN_HOME to the sandbox directory by default,
so tests that call cmdRun/saveSpawnRecord without explicitly setting
SPAWN_HOME no longer write to the real ~/.spawn/history.json.

Add fs-sandbox.test.ts that verifies the sandbox is correctly configured
(HOME, SPAWN_HOME, XDG vars all point to temp). Update testing.md with
mandatory filesystem isolation rules.

* chore: add root bunfig.toml and fix biome formatting

Add root-level bunfig.toml with test preload so `bun test` works from
the repo root. Fix biome formatting in orchestrate.test.ts afterEach.

+## Filesystem Isolation — MANDATORY
+
+Tests MUST NEVER touch real user files. The test preload (`__tests__/preload.ts`) provides a sandbox:
+
+- `process.env.HOME` → `/tmp/spawn-test-home-XXXX/` (isolated temp dir)
+- `process.env.SPAWN_HOME` → `$HOME/.spawn` (inside sandbox)
+- `process.env.XDG_CACHE_HOME` → `$HOME/.cache` (inside sandbox)
+
+### Rules for test files:
+- **NEVER import `homedir` from `node:os`** — Bun's `homedir()` ignores `process.env.HOME` and returns the real home. Use `process.env.HOME ?? ""` instead.
+- **NEVER hardcode home directory paths** like `/home/user/...` or `~/...`
+- **If you override `SPAWN_HOME`** in `beforeEach`, save and restore the original in `afterEach` (the preload sets a safe default)
+- **Use `getUserHome()`** in production code (from `shared/ui.ts`) — it reads `process.env.HOME` first
+- The `fs-sandbox.test.ts` guardrail test verifies the sandbox is active
