Brooklyn Nicholson e8ccb4a2ea feat(desktop): ctx.os — the curated OS door for plugins
Fold ctx.notifyNative into a ctx.os namespace so every way a plugin
reaches outside the app window lives behind one attributed door instead
of accreting one top-level ctx method per capability:

- ctx.os.notify — the native-notification door from the previous commit,
  unchanged semantics (plugin kind pref, away-gating, per-plugin throttle).
- ctx.os.openExternal / ctx.os.revealPath / ctx.os.writeClipboard — the
  existing window.hermesDesktop bridge capabilities, now sanctioned and
  result-shaped: each resolves false (never throws) when the bridge or
  member is missing, so a plugin branches on the result instead of
  sniffing the preload surface or crashing on an older shell.

No new Electron surface: everything routes through bridge members the
app already ships; the notification path keeps every existing gate.

/**
* The plugin authoring contract. A plugin is a file that default-exports a
* `HermesPlugin`; it never touches the registry directly — it receives a
* scoped `PluginContext` whose `register` auto-tags provenance
* (`source: 'plugin:<id>'`) and namespaces the contribution id
* (`<id>:<localId>`), so authors write plain contributions and collisions
* between plugins are impossible.
*
* Bundled plugins live in `src/plugins/<name>/plugin.tsx` and are discovered
* by `discoverBundledPlugins()` (contrib/plugins.ts) — no import, no registry
* edit. Runtime-fetched third-party plugins will drive the SAME contract
* through the plugin host loader (next phase); this is that seam.
