Subject: [PATCH 4/7] fix(comparisonStore): preserve stored selection on cold
 load

The seed-defaults effect fired whenever fontA/fontB were still
undefined, including the window between constructor reading storage
and the per-id batch resolving. On a slow batch or fast catalog the
effect clobbered storage with catalog[0]/catalog[N-1], losing the
user's pick on reload.

Now bails when storage already holds IDs, and reads storage via
untrack so per-font selection writes don't re-trigger the effect.

Adds a deterministic regression test that controls catalog/batch
ordering via mockImplementation timing.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] test: add e2e suite for core comparison flows

Adds 17 new specs across six files plus the supporting POM
infrastructure:

- fixtures with auto-opened comparison + typography helpers
- TypographyMenu POM reading values from ComboControl aria-labels
- ComparisonPage extended with side selection, font picking,
  slider-value reader, FontFaceSet inspection, storage snapshot
- compare-flow: A/B selection, aria-pressed state, storage write
- preview-text: input binding + slider character rendering
- slider: keyboard ARIA contract (Arrow / Shift+Arrow / Page / Home / End)
- font-loading: FontFaceSet contains selected, excludes unrelated
- persistence: font selection + typography settings survive reload
- typography: symmetric increase/decrease for all four controls
