fix(cli): keep the subagent registry host-plane in the cordis preset

The cordis preset moved `bash-env`, the `subagents` registry, and its
spawn/fork backends into entry-local realms. A host row that injects a service
is the criterion for host-plane ownership: `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects
`bash-env`, and `dsh-host-apiproxy` injects `subagents` to answer the
browser's cross-session queries, so both waited forever for a service only
sessions provided. A provider name also registers once, so the second session
would have collided regardless.

This layer introduces the preset, so it is where the plane belongs — a later
layer already corrected it, which left this layer and the docs one unmountable
on their own. The composition test stops disabling `api-gateway` with it: the
row whose pending injection names the break cannot be the row the test turns
off, so the boot audit now covers the whole host-plane injection graph.

An AGENT PRESET holds what one session contributes to those registries: its tools, its persona, its delegation backends. A row that publishes a service belongs in the host composition, or inside an `isolate` realm if the preset genuinely owns that service.

+**A service with a consumer outside the agent plane cannot move into a preset.** `subagents` is the worked example: the registry answers cross-session queries for the host api-proxy, so a per-session copy both starves that host row — it waits forever for a service nothing provides — and collides on the second session, since a provider name registers once. The preset contributes the delegation *tools*; the registry and its backends stay host-side.
 
 A preset is a directory holding one `agent.cordis.yml`. The shipped ones live beside the deployment's composition; locally authored ones live under `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/<name>/`.
