fix: keep WKWebView attached to window to prevent GPU process idle exit

The GPU process was exiting due to idle timeout between warmup and
first article open. Now the WKWebView stays attached to the window
(alpha=0, invisible) until first article use. makeUIView reparents
it to the article container via removeFromSuperview + addSubview.

Also: removed all debug logging (warmup, article open, WebView timing).

Confirmed by instrumentation:
- GPU process launches during warmup (1.3s, background)
- First article open: 22ms total, WebView finish: 3ms
- No user-visible freeze
