fix: don't attach empty heap profiles to Sentry memory alerts (APP-5199)

[warp-agent-staging]

Description

Sentry memory alerts from macOS have been arriving with a heap-profile.pb attachment that has no content, which makes them impossible to triage — there are no allocation call stacks to analyze. The client has a silent-failure path that produces exactly that outcome.

In app/src/profiling.rs:

1. dump_jemalloc_heap_profile_inner (non-Linux branch) shells out to the bundled pprof helper (Contents/Helpers/pprof) against http://127.0.0.1:9277/debug/pprof/heap. It checks only output.status.success() and then std::fs::reads the output path. If pprof exits 0 without writing anything usable — local profiling HTTP server unreachable, error body returned, helper missing or quarantined — the read yields an empty Vec<u8> that propagates as Ok(vec![]).
2. dump_jemalloc_heap_profile attaches that buffer unconditionally, captures the "Excessive memory usage detected" message, and logs "Sent heap profile to Sentry". The alert fires with a useless attachment and nothing indicates the capture failed.

Linux is unaffected: it dumps in-process via dump_jemalloc_pprof_bytes (jemalloc_pprof), with no helper binary, HTTP round-trip, or output file involved.

This change:

• treats an empty dump as an error in dump_jemalloc_heap_profile_inner, including pprof's own stderr in the error so the cause is diagnosable (and applies the same guard to the Linux in-process dump);
• skips the Sentry report entirely when there is no usable profile, instead of claiming success. This matches how every other dump failure is already handled (log, no capture);
• also stops dump_heap_profile_to_disk from writing a zero-byte profile file.

Evidence

Sentry issue 7259255054 ("Excessive memory usage detected", 3,471 events / 2,467 users). Two consecutive events each carry exactly one heap-profile.pb:

• event 815020b5f71a461387bf9d42a663185b → attachment 23766597477, reported size 11,590 B
• event c36ffdaf68ac4bc7b0526ccdb862e5bf → attachment 23766706070, reported size 8,576 B

Both hash to SHA1 da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 — the SHA1 of empty content — and neither yields a usable payload. Affected build: mac_stable_release, release v0.2026.07.29.09.05.stable_02. The spikes themselves are real (memory_breakdown: ~10.28 GB resident, ~10.04 GB footprint, ~17 MB GPU).

One caveat, stated plainly: Sentry reports non-zero sizes for attachments whose content hashes as empty. Had the client uploaded zero bytes, the reported size would be 0. So a Sentry-side ingestion/storage problem may also be in play, and this client path may not be the sole mechanism behind those two specific attachments. The silent-failure path fixed here is a genuine defect either way — it can emit an empty profile and label it a success — but it should not be assumed to fully explain the observed empty attachments until the ingestion side is checked.

APP-5199. Unblocks APP-4849, which tracks the repeated triage runs on Sentry 7259255054 that dead-end because the profile is unusable.

Testing

Validated in a Linux cloud environment, which constrains what could be exercised — stated explicitly rather than implied:

• cargo check -p warp --features heap_usage_tracking — passes (app crate type-checked).

• cargo clippy -p warp --features heap_usage_tracking -- -D warnings — passes with no lints.

• rustfmt --check with the repo's config (.rustfmt.toml, imports_granularity=Module, group_imports=StdExternalCrate) — clean.

• Not run: the macOS branch of dump_jemalloc_heap_profile_inner is cfg-gated out on Linux, so it was not compiled here (no macOS toolchain/SDK available). It was reviewed by inspection; output remains in scope at the new bail and the error uses an inlined format arg. A macOS build is needed to confirm.

• Not added: no unit test. The failing path is a subprocess invocation of a bundled helper inside a cfg-gated async function; testing it meaningfully would require injecting the pprof invocation behind a seam, which is a larger refactor than this fix warrants. Happy to add it if reviewers prefer.

• I have manually tested my changes locally with ./script/run
