Start (or reuse) a live `vite dev` preview for this app

Live dev preview (apps.md §12.4). Installs dependencies (npm or pnpm, per the app’s lockfile) if needed, starts a persistent vite dev inside the app’s sandbox, and returns the sandbox’s own public origin for the browser to iframe — HMR rides that origin, so edits show up with no rebuild step and nothing of the tenant’s runs on the API host.
