fix: ask in the page instead of native confirm/alert
A native confirm() or alert() leaves the desktop client unable to type until the window is refocused. ask.js draws both in the page; the SPA test now bans all three browser dialogs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

-"""
-`window.prompt` does not exist in the desktop client.
-
-The same `static/` tree is the web page and the application (CLAUDE.md's "one
-UI source"), and Electron does not implement `prompt` — Chromium leaves it to
-the embedder and Electron declines. It does not return null: it **throws**,
-`Error: prompt() is not supported.`
-
-That made the Files toolbar's New folder button do nothing whatsoever. The call
-sat above its own try, so the click produced no folder, no error, and nothing
-on screen to react to — the failure looks exactly like a dead button, which is
-what it was reported as.
-
-Measured rather than assumed, against this repo's own Electron 44:
-
- prompt('name?') -> Error: prompt() is not supported.
- confirm('sure?') -> opens a real modal
- alert('hi') -> opens a real modal
-
-So `confirm` and `alert` stay allowed and are used in a dozen places; only
-`prompt` is banned. Anything that needs typed input needs a field.
