Browser preview route crashes runtime on transient ECONNRESET #1982

Description

@chubes4

Problem

A transient asset proxy reset in browser preview routing escapes the route handler as an unhandled rejection and terminates the entire WP Codebox recipe process.

Evidence

During a valid multisite browser scenario, the runtime crashed while fetching a non-critical theme font:

route.fetch: read ECONNRESET
GET /wp-content/themes/extrachill/assets/fonts/Lobster2.woff2
at fetchBrowserPreviewRoutedHost (.../browser-preview-routing.js:287:36)
at fulfillBrowserPreviewRoutedHost (.../browser-preview-routing.js:219:28)

The backend suite had completed and no changed browser assertion executed. Homeboy run: c5bd79ee-f9c7-479e-bb1f-73cca37e98d2.

Expected

Preview routing handles transient upstream fetch failures without crashing the Node process. The individual request may fail/abort and should be recorded as network evidence, while the browser scenario and cleanup remain under normal lifecycle control.

Acceptance criteria

  1. route.fetch() rejection is caught inside preview routing.
  2. A failed non-document asset request does not terminate the recipe process.
  3. Document navigation failures remain explicit scenario failures.
  4. Regression coverage injects an ECONNRESET for a subresource.
