Handle boot-time chunk failures after the reload guard is consumed.

After one reload for an APP_VERSION, reloadOnceForChunkLoadError() returns false, so reloadScheduled stays false. If the managedAuthShellModule import rejects with a chunk-load error, the .catch in apps/web/src/main.tsx rethrows. The ReactDOM.createRoot(...).render(...) call is never reached. AppRoot, its route error boundary, and its reload option do not mount. The page shows no recovery UI, and the failure surfaces only as an unhandled rejection of startup.

The PR describes later failures on the same version as showing an error with a reload option. That holds for route chunks that fail after boot. It does not hold for these startup dependencies, because their failures occur before the app tree mounts.

A correct fix needs a design decision for the startup fallback. The inspected code does not establish that decision, so this comment does not propose a patch.

Review comment at @apps/web/src/main.tsx at line 43:
Boot-time chunk failures after the reload guard is consumed bypass the mounted app’s recovery UI. Decide and implement a startup fallback in the managedAuthShellModule import and startup flow that presents an error with a reload option when reloadOnceForChunkLoadError() declines another reload, while preserving the existing one-reload-per-APP_VERSION behavior.
