Summary

This branch adds a temporary HTML comment probe to the Iced view pattern documentation in the pika-desktop crate. The comment serves as a forge selector marker for validating desktop-only Apple lane selection in the CI or build pipeline. No functional code is changed; the modification is purely a metadata annotation used for infrastructure probing.

Tutorial Steps

Add forge selector probe comment to Iced view pattern docs

Intent: Insert a temporary HTML comment at the top of the iced-view-pattern.md document that acts as a probe marker. This marker is used to validate that the desktop-only Apple build lane is correctly selected by the forge/CI infrastructure when changes land in the pika-desktop crate.

Affected files: crates/pika-desktop/iced-view-pattern.md

 ## Iced View Module Pattern
 
+<!-- Temporary forge selector probe: desktop-only Apple lane validation. -->
+
 - Each module has a `State` struct that holds state for that module

A single HTML comment is inserted on line 3 of crates/pika-desktop/iced-view-pattern.md, immediately after the heading:

<!-- Temporary forge selector probe: desktop-only Apple lane validation. -->

Why this matters

The comment itself carries no runtime or documentation impact — HTML comments are invisible in rendered Markdown. Its purpose is infrastructure validation: by touching a file inside crates/pika-desktop/, the branch can verify that the forge (CI/CD) correctly routes the change through the Apple-specific desktop build lane.

This is a common pattern for probing lane-selection logic:

  1. A minimal, non-destructive change is made to a path that should trigger a specific pipeline.
  2. CI results confirm whether the expected lane was activated.
  3. The probe comment is removed once validation is complete (as indicated by the Temporary prefix).

No other files are modified, and the existing documentation content is untouched.
