Kpa-clawbot 2d260bbfed test: behavioral vscroll tests replacing source-grep (#405, #409) (#641)
## Summary

Replace source-grep virtual scroll tests with behavioral tests that
exercise actual logic. Fixes #405, Fixes #409.

## What changed

### packets.js
- **Extracted `_calcVisibleRange()`** — pure function containing the
binary-search range calculation logic previously inline in
`renderVisibleRows()`. Takes offsets, scroll position, viewport
dimensions, row height, thead offset, and buffer as parameters. Returns
`{ startIdx, endIdx, firstEntry, lastEntry }`.
- `renderVisibleRows()` now calls `_calcVisibleRange()` instead of
inline math — no behavioral change.
- Exported via `_packetsTestAPI` for direct testing.

### test-frontend-helpers.js
- **Removed 8 source-grep tests** that used
`packetsSource.includes(...)` to check strings exist in source code (not
behavior):
  - "renderVisibleRows uses cumulative offsets not flat entry count"
  - "renderVisibleRows skips DOM rebuild when range unchanged"
  - "lazy row generation — HTML built only for visible slice"
  - "observer filter Set is hoisted, not recreated per-packet"
  - "packets.js display filter checks _children for observer match"
  - "packets.js WS filter checks _children for observer match"
  - "buildFlatRowHtml has null-safe decoded_json"
  - "pathHops null guard in buildFlatRowHtml / detail pane"
  - "destroy cleans up virtual scroll state"

- **Added 11 behavioral tests for `_calcVisibleRange()`** loaded from
the actual packets.js via sandbox:
  - Top of list (scroll = 0)
  - Middle of list (scroll to row 50)
  - Bottom of list (scroll past end)
  - Empty array (0 entries)
  - Single item
  - Exact row boundary
  - Large dataset (30K items)
  - Various row heights (24px instead of 36px)
  - Thead offset shifting visible range
  - Expanded groups with variable row counts
  - Buffer clamped at boundaries

- **Kept all existing behavioral tests**: `cumulativeRowOffsets`,
`getRowCount`, observer filter logic (#537).

## Test count
- Removed: 8 source-grep tests
- Added: 11 behavioral tests
- Net: +3 tests (446 total, 0 failures)

## Why
Source-grep tests (`packetsSource.includes('...')`) are brittle — they
break on refactors even when behavior is preserved, and they pass even
when the tested code is buggy. Behavioral tests exercise real
inputs/outputs and catch actual regressions.
