Fixed macOS `TextField` wrapping to multiple lines when its text was wider than
the field. `perry-ui-macos`'s `create()` built the field from
`NSTextField::textFieldWithString`, whose cell wraps and grows, and never
overrode it — so a fixed-width field grew tall instead of scrolling, unlike
every other backend. The cell is now configured for single-line editing
(`usesSingleLineMode`, `scrollable`, `wraps = false`, clipping line-break mode),
matching iOS / GTK4 / Android / Windows. Multiline input keeps its own widget,
`TextArea`.

Preserve the single-line invariant at the generic text mutator boundary.

TextField returns a Widget, and the public text mutators also accept Widget. On macOS, textSetWraps and textSetNumberOfLines set the NSTextField cell to wrapping. textSetTruncationMode changes its line-break mode. These calls can violate the documented single-line TextField contract.

Track the widget kind at registration and reject or normalize these mutators for TextField. Do not reject every NSTextField, because Text uses the same native class.

Preserve TextField’s single-line invariant in the generic text mutators by
tracking the widget kind during registration, distinguishing TextField from Text
despite their shared NSTextField native class. Update textSetWraps,
textSetNumberOfLines, and textSetTruncationMode to reject or normalize calls
targeting TextField so they cannot enable wrapping, multiple lines, or
non-single-line behavior, while leaving Text behavior unchanged.

Run this case in the macOS UI test path

test_issue_10155_textfield_singleline is skipped by the Ubuntu compile-smoke job. The parity job also runs on ubuntu-latest, not macOS. The macOS doc-test harness scans docs/examples/, and its screenshot registry compares only ui/gallery.ts. This fixture has no assertion or screenshot capture, so it cannot detect wrapping.

Add this scenario to the registered ui/gallery.ts screenshot case, or add an equivalent runtime assertion.

issue reproduction is not executed by the macOS UI test path and has no
assertion or screenshot coverage. Register the single-line TextField scenario
from test_issue_10155_textfield_singleline in the ui/gallery.ts screenshot
cases, or add an equivalent runtime assertion that verifies the fixed-width
field remains one line and scrolls horizontally.
