Apply DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS to Console mode (disable Play + block direct player route)

[Copilot]

DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS disabled web-player entry points but Console mode could still launch EmulatorJS via the Console Play flow. This change aligns Console behavior with the existing emulator disable contract so RomM can run as library-only.

• Console Game view now respects emulator disable state

  • frontend/src/console/views/Game.vue
  • Added a computed flag from heartbeat emulation config.
  • Prevented play() execution when DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS is enabled.
  • Disabled the Console Play button and applied disabled visual state.

• Direct Console player route is guarded

  • frontend/src/console/views/Play.vue
  • On mount, if DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS is enabled, route redirects to ROUTES.CONSOLE_ROM instead of booting EmulatorJS.
  • Prevents bypass via direct navigation/deep links.

• Behavioral impact

  • Console mode no longer provides a path to EmulatorJS when DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS=true, matching non-console behavior.

// Game.vue
const isConsoleEmulationDisabled = computed(
  () => heartbeatStore.value.EMULATION.DISABLE_EMULATOR_JS,
);

async function play() {
  if (!rom.value || isConsoleEmulationDisabled.value) return;
  // existing navigation to CONSOLE_PLAY...
}
