fix(frontend): remove unused MSW browser worker (#6859)

The frontend uses MSW only through its Node test interceptor, but the unused browser worker requires synchronization after dependency updates and currently breaks make verify.

Remove the unused asset, worker-directory configuration, and freshness checks while preserving Node MSW tests and the separate PWA worker. Update tooling descriptions to match.

Fixes #6858
