test: fix origin validation test to verify cross-origin boundary
The previous test tried to inject messages into the inner iframe, but this fails silently because the sandbox creates a cross-origin boundary that prevents access to contentDocument. Changed the test to verify the actual security mechanism: - Sandbox creates cross-origin boundary (contentDocument is null) - contentWindow still exists (for postMessage communication) - This is what actually prevents cross-app attacks
