The reported 'APK crash' turned out not to exist: repeated full scans of
all installed extensions load cleanly. The real incident was the app's
quit sequence stopping the bridge (its /stop endpoint) while requests
were in flight - and it exposed that a bridge dying for any reason left
the anime browser failing every call with a raw 'fetch failed' until
the whole app was restarted.
SidecarHandle now reports the child's exit (including to late
subscribers), and the runtime detects a death it did not order: it
drops the dead handle, closes the strip proxy, tells the UI, and the
next request transparently starts a fresh bridge. requireBridge became
an async bridge() that starts on demand, which also covers first use.
Verified live: search -> SIGKILL the JVM -> search recovers.
