Helium is a macOS Chromium-based browser. Wire it up the same way as other Chromium browsers (Brave, Edge, Vivaldi): - Add HeliumKey constant and macOS detection path - Add HeliumPathDefaults() for install detection - Add "Helium" to the manual browser selection list - Map bundle ID / name containing "helium" in GetBrowserKey - Route HeliumKey through the ChromeProfile launcher in assume and console - Add Local State path (net.imput.helium) for profile switching support Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds support for Helium, a Chromium-based browser for macOS. It follows the same integration pattern as Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi.
Changes
pkg/browser/browsers.go: addHeliumKeyconstant,HeliumPathMacdetection path, andHeliumPathDefaults()pkg/browser/detect.go: add Helium to the manual selection list,GetBrowserKeyname mapping, andDetectInstallationswitchpkg/assume/assume.go: routeHeliumKeythrough theChromeProfilelauncherpkg/granted/console.go: routeHeliumKeythrough theChromeProfilelauncherpkg/launcher/chrome_profile.go: addHeliumPathMaclocal state path (Library/Application Support/net.imput.helium/Local State) for profile switching supportNotes
Helium is macOS-only (no Windows or Linux paths), consistent with how Arc is handled. The local state path was confirmed against an actual Helium installation.
Testing
Verified on macOS with Helium installed at
/Applications/Helium.app— granted browser set auto-detects the installation and profile switching works correctly.
