Changelog Description:

Explain this cherry pick in one line that is accessible to most Flutter developers. See best practices for examples

Flutter Web applications launched in Chrome show a warning related to --no-sandbox.

Impact Description:

What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

We were incorrectly disabling the Chrome sandbox for non-test contexts, which results in a ominous warning about "Stability and security [suffering]".

Code Review

This pull request correctly removes the --no-sandbox flag from default Chrome launch arguments, restricting it to headless mode only. This is a welcome security enhancement, as it avoids disabling the Chrome sandbox for regular headed browser launches during development. The tests have been updated appropriately to account for this change by explicitly adding the flag where necessary. The changes are clear, correct, and improve the tool's security posture.
