Full test infrastructure, code audit fixes, and real E2E integration tests

Test infrastructure:
- Django standalone test runner (pytest-django, test settings, EmailUser model)
- React unit tests via Vitest with jsdom, jest compat layer, path aliases
- Playwright E2E tests using generated hooks in a real Chromium browser
- Docker Compose test backend (Django + Redis) for integration testing
- Desktop integration test app (PyWebView + Django + uvicorn)
- Makefile with test/test-django/test-react/test-integration targets

Library bugs found and fixed:
- hasJWT truthiness: undefined !== null was true, skipping session init
- process.env crash: CSR client referenced process.env in non-Node browsers
- baseUrl not forwarded: DjareaProvider didn't pass baseUrl to CSR client
- Relative URL handling: new URL() failed with relative base paths
- call() race condition: HTTP requests fired before CSRF cookie was set
- Session init await: added sessionRef promise so call() waits for session
- path_prefix on schema export: both export commands failed with URL reverse
- NullBooleanField removed: referenced field doesn't exist in Django 5.0+
- lru_cache on JWT settings: get_settings() now cached as intended
- Channel message routing: broadcasts now include channel name and params
- httpFunctionCall: fixed URL and request body format

Generator fixes:
- Removed 1,100 lines of REST/OpenAPI client generation (not part of Djarea)
- Generator now works for djarea-only projects without django-ninja REST APIs
- Generated DjangoContext now includes ChannelProvider when channels exist
- Fixed env var passthrough for schema export commands
- Deduplicated fetch logic into single runDjangoCommand helper

Test quality:
- Fixed 33 tautological Django tests with real assertions
- Found hidden bug: benchmark functions were never registered
- Found hidden bug: unicode lookalike test used plain ASCII
- Deleted worthless React unit tests (duplicates, shape checks, Zod-tests-Zod)
- Replaced jsdom integration tests with Playwright browser tests

Example apps:
- example/: Integration test backend with 33 server functions, 5 forms,
  4 channels covering auth variations, contexts, class-based ServerFunction,
  error codes, DjareaFormMixin, formsets, and JWT
- desktop/: PyWebView desktop app with file system access, SQLite CRUD,
  system introspection, and 39 real HTTP integration tests

+"""
+Djarea - Django + React unified framework
+
+Server functions are the core primitive. Everything else builds on them.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. urls.py - HTTP endpoint
+```python
+from djarea import urls as djarea_urls
+
+urlpatterns = [
+    path('api/djarea/', include(djarea_urls)),
+]
+```
+
+### 2. asgi.py - WebSocket support (optional)
+```python
+from djarea import wrap_asgi
+from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
+
+application = wrap_asgi(get_asgi_application())
+```
+
+### 3. Define server functions
+```python
+# apps/myapp/clients.py
+from djarea import client
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class EchoOutput(BaseModel):
+    message: str
+
+# HTTP-only function (default)
+@client
+def echo(request, text: str) -> EchoOutput:
+    return EchoOutput(message=f"Echo: {text}")
+
+# Global context (singleton, SSR-hydrated)
+@client(context='global')
+def current_user(request) -> UserOutput:
+    return UserOutput(email=request.user.email)
+
+# WebSocket-enabled for real-time
+@client(websocket=True)
+def send_message(request, room_id: int, text: str) -> MessageOutput:
+    return MessageOutput(...)
+```
+
+### 4. Auto-discover in apps.py
+```python
+class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
+    def ready(self):
+        from djarea.setup import djarea_clients
+        djarea_clients('apps')
+```
+
+### 5. Frontend - generate types and use
+```bash
+npm run schemas
+```
+```tsx
+import { useEcho, useCurrentUser } from '@/api'
+
+const user = useCurrentUser()
+const echo = useEcho()
+await echo({ text: 'hello' })
+```
