Render runtimes

The preview window renders animations inside a WKWebView using the official @rive-app/canvas and @lottiefiles/dotlottie-web runtimes. These .js/.wasm files are not bundled with the extension. On first run they are downloaded from version-pinned jsDelivr URLs, verified against pinned SHA-256 hashes, and cached under the extension's support directory — so nothing untrusted is shipped, and after the first download the preview works fully offline.

The pinned versions and hashes live in src/runtimes.ts. To upgrade a runtime, bump its version constant and replace its hashes there.
