Chrome DevTools for agents: daemon.pid write follows symlinks in /tmp fallback runtime directory
### Summary The chrome-devtools-mcp daemon writes its PID file with `fs.writeFileSync()` to a deterministic runtime path. On typical macOS environments, and on Linux sessions where `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is unset, that runtime path falls back to `/tmp/chrome-devtools-mcp-<uid>/daemon.pid`. Because the write does not use `O_NOFOLLOW`, a local low-privilege user on the same POSIX host can pre-create `/tmp/chrome-devtools-mcp-<victim_uid>/daemon.pid` as a symlink to a file writable by the victim.
