fix(studio): audit batch — debug.echo install, copyable errors, fast Diagnose

From a live-test audit:
- Install via the flow-editor 'Fix' sent 'debug.echo@^0' (version
  constraint included) as the install source; the hub resolves by bare
  name so it missed ('no store entry for debug.echo@^0'). Strip the
  @<constraint> like the Store page does — debug.echo now installs.
- Errors the operator could not copy: route the daemon-start failure
  (its stderr!), the flow-editor install failure and the federation
  issue failure through showFaiErrorSnack / a new showFaiProcessError
  helper, so every error is selectable, one-tap copyable and logged.
- Diagnose page opened slowly because doctor() Future.wait-ed on a live
  manifest fetch (8s server timeout); cap that one check at 2s so the
  page no longer waits on the network.
