Cross-platform diagnostic reporting.
eprintln! reaches a visible stderr on desktop, but wasm32-unknown-unknown’s stdio is
a no-op sink — nothing written to it is ever observable, in a devtools console or
otherwise. report_error is the single point every diagnostic raised through this
crate’s UI should go through instead, so a failure is visible on every platform a
consumer of adam-web-ui ships on.
Gated on target_arch = "wasm32" rather than just feature = "desktop": the web-only
code paths this feeds are also built and unit-tested on the native host (cargo test -p adam-web-ui), and calling the real web_sys/wasm_bindgen JS FFI outside an actual
wasm32 host crashes the process rather than erroring — eprintln! is the correct, safe
fallback for that native-host case too. A consumer embedding this crate’s components into
its own desktop (webview) build should enable this crate’s desktop feature so its
diagnostics land on that process’s stderr instead of being silently dropped.
