- PR #128413: fix(browser): ignore stale desktop sandbox markers

These items address a crash and related fixes when the terminal backend changes (e.g., from Docker to local) after Bot Desktop starts, leaving stale desktop sandbox markers that cause execution failures. Two fixes add logic to ignore those stale markers in the browser and bot desktop components.
