docs(sirius-press): record what the browser found, and what still has not been run

The docs said nobody had clicked the buttons in a browser. Somebody has now,
and it cost two bugs, so testing.md gains a section saying to do it after
touching the auth assets — the HTTP suites cannot see that class of failure.

Also sharpens the honest gap: the Docker stack has not been run anywhere, not
just 'not on a clean Ubuntu box'.

+## In a browser
+
+Everything above drives the site over HTTP, which is fast and repeatable and
+misses a whole class of bug. Two got through it and were only found by opening
+`wp-login.php` in a browser and clicking the button:
+
+- WordPress marks its username and password inputs `required`. The wallet path
+  leaves both empty on purpose, so `requestSubmit()` failed constraint
+  validation and refused to send a perfectly good signature — with a bubble
+  pointing at a field the visitor is not meant to fill in.
+- The `hidden` attribute does not survive WordPress's own stylesheet.
+  `.wp-core-ui .button { display: inline-block }` outranks the UA rule that
+  makes `hidden` work, so buttons this plugin ships hidden were on screen
+  anyway, inverting the progressive-enhancement design.
+
+So: **after changing anything in `plugins/sirius-press-auth/assets/`, open the
+login page and click the button.** The HTTP suites will not tell you.
+
+Serve the throwaway instance and point a browser at
+`http://127.0.0.1:8760/wp-login.php`. `127.0.0.1` counts as a secure context,
+so WebCrypto works over plain HTTP there — on any other host the in-page
+wallet needs real HTTPS, and the script says so and falls back to the paste
+box.
+
+Worth checking by hand, in this order: the sign-in button appears, the
+browser-wallet button does *not* (unless you are in Theseus), typing the
+phrase and clicking signs and lands you on the dashboard, and the challenge
+text in the box matches what your wallet shows you.
