Add helpers to launch eval base apps

Introduces setupAndRunEvalApp and stopEvalApp in
test/ai_evals/helpers/ai_eval-helpers.ts to locate and parse
task.textproto configuration, execute prerequisite setup commands
in base app directories, and spawn the server process group.

Key changes:
- parseTaskTextproto parses base_app and task_entry_point.
- setupAndRunEvalApp configures npm environment overrides to permit
  platform optional binaries, caches existing node_modules, and
  spawns the detached server process group.
- waitForProcessOutput reactively waits for startup output matching
  a target pattern using stream events.
- stopProcess and stopEvalApp cleanly terminate the process group
  via SIGTERM with a SIGKILL fallback.
- Adds test/ai_evals/network/failing-request.test.ts verifying
  failing-request eval app startup.
- Registers network target in test/ai_evals/BUILD.gn.

Chrome DevTools frontend

npm package

The client-side of the Chrome DevTools, including all TypeScript & CSS to run the DevTools webapp.

Source code and documentation

The frontend is available on chromium.googlesource.com. Check out the Chromium DevTools documentation for instructions to set up, use, and maintain a DevTools front-end checkout, as well as design guidelines, and architectural documentation.

Source mirrors

DevTools frontend repository is mirrored on GitHub.

DevTools frontend is also available on NPM as the chrome-devtools-frontend package. It's not currently available via CJS or ES modules, so consuming this package in other tools may require some effort.

The version number of the npm package (e.g. 1.0.373466) refers to the Chromium commit position of latest frontend git commit. It's incremented with every Chromium commit, however the package is updated roughly daily.

Getting in touch

There are a few options to keep an eye on the latest and greatest of DevTools development:
