Request unload-aware closure even when listener setup fails.

If page.exposeFunction or page.evaluate rejects, execution skips Line 770. This catch resolves the wait, so the caller closes the session without requesting beforeunload. A navigation during listener setup can therefore preserve the original missing-unload behavior.

Handle listener setup failure separately. Still attempt page.close({ runBeforeUnload: true }). Extend the desktop test with a setup-rejection case.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.ts at line 771:
Update the unload-listener setup flow around `page.exposeFunction` and `page.evaluate` so a setup rejection does not resolve the wait and skip the unload-aware close; handle that failure separately and still attempt `page.close` with `runBeforeUnload: true`. Extend the desktop test to cover listener setup rejection and verify the close attempt.

Run desktop UI closure before removing the webview.

The ordinary Close button removes the session without calling unloadDesktopPage. This can remove the webview before beforeunload runs, so the page can miss save or reporting handlers. Coordinate UI closure with unload-aware teardown before removing the webview, including the dialog and timeout behavior.
