test(e2e): run files sequentially to eliminate shared-DB race

The E2E suite was flaky. ~3 of every 5 runs had 4-10 failures clustered
in Links, Timeline, Versions, Minions resilience, Parallel Import, and
Page CRUD tests. Symptoms included "expected 16 pages, got 8" (half),
"expected 1 link inserted, got 0", timeline entries missing after
round-trip, and similar data-shape mismatches.

Root cause: bun test runs test FILES in parallel (each in a worker
process). 13 E2E files share one DATABASE_URL, and `setupDB()` in
`test/e2e/helpers.ts` does `TRUNCATE ... CASCADE` on all tables before
each file's `importFixtures()`. File A's TRUNCATE would race with file
B's in-flight INSERT stream, producing the observed half-populated or
wrong-count states.

An earlier attempt used a Postgres advisory lock held on a dedicated
single-connection client for the lifetime of each file's run. It broke
because bun's default 5000 ms hook timeout fires on queued beforeAll()
calls: with 13 files serializing through the lock, files 2-13 would
time out waiting for file 1 to finish.

This commit switches to sequential file execution at the harness level
via scripts/run-e2e.sh, which loops through test/e2e/*.test.ts one at
a time, tracks aggregate pass/fail counts, and exits non-zero on the
first failing file. No lock, no timeout issues, no changes to any test
file. package.json test:e2e points at the new script.

Verified: 5 back-to-back runs against the same Postgres container,
each completing in ~5 min. Every run: 13 files, 138 tests, 0 fails.

+# Run E2E tests ONE FILE AT A TIME.
+#
+# Bun's default is to run test files in parallel (each in its own worker).
+# Our E2E suite shares one Postgres database across all 13 files, and
+# `setupDB()` does TRUNCATE CASCADE + fixture import. When files run in
+# parallel, file A's TRUNCATE can race with file B's fixture import,
+# producing observed fails like "expected 16 pages, got 8", missing
+# links, orphaned timeline entries, etc. The flakiness was visible on
+# ~3 of every 5 runs pre-fix.
+#
+# Running files sequentially eliminates the race entirely. It also costs
+# some startup overhead (each file spins up a fresh bun process) but for
+# a suite this size that is measured in ~1-2s per file, amortized under
+# the natural per-file test time of 5-10s.
+#
+# Exits non-zero on the first failing file so CI fails fast.
