feat(tool-cordis): flatten the inspect plugins section to a capability list

The tree SHAPE was the wrong surface for the model: what it needs from
cordis_inspect is what services, plugins, and capabilities are loaded, not the
fiber hierarchy. The plugins section is now a flat name + lifecycle-state list
from ctx.registry (deterministically sorted, one line per instance); the ASCII
tree renderer, the parent→child rebuild, and the dyn-id tree annotation are
deleted — dynamic mounts keep their own richer dynamic section (id, state,
provides, waits). Net -49 lines; RFC and READMEs state the flat-list contract.

### Sandbox semantics
Mount code runs via `vm.createContext` + `runInContext`, wrapped as the body of an async function under a per-mount filename (`cordis-mount-<id>.js`). The vm gives the code a fresh realm: writes to `globalThis` stay inside the sandbox, and no Node API is provided — capability access is routed through the cordis services (`ctx.fs` for files, `ctx.web` for HTTP, `ctx.bash` for processes, the `ctx.timer` helpers for timing), never Node built-ins, so everything a mounted plugin does stays inspectable through the fiber tree and disposable with it. The `vmTimeoutMs` config bounds only the synchronous portion of evaluation; an async body escapes the bound (acceptable under the trust stance above).

Sandbox globals are deliberately small: a tagged write-through `console` (`[cordis:<id>] …` on the host stdout/stderr, so a listener that fires long after the mount call still lands somewhere the user sees), the `harness.defineTool` / `harness.registerTool` registration pair, the encoding primitives fresh vm contexts lack (`btoa`/`atob` as host closures over `Buffer` — a sanctioned exception, `Buffer` itself is never exposed — plus `TextEncoder`/`TextDecoder`), and callable traps over the withheld Node APIs (`require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`/`setImmediate`/`clearTimeout`/`clearInterval`, `fetch`) that throw a redirect naming the cordis alternative. Only function-shaped globals are trapped; `process` and `Buffer` stay `undefined` so a `typeof` feature probe stays inert rather than detonating a throwing accessor.

### The dynamic group and mount lifecycle
Every dynamic mount is a child of a single `cordis-dynamic` group fiber, itself a child of the `tool-cordis` plugin's fiber. The group exists so the mounts form one subtree: they read as a unit in the inspect tree, and disposing `tool-cordis` (HMR reload, config unload) cascades over every mount through the ordinary parent→child fiber lifecycle — no bespoke cleanup. Mounting settles before it reports: the returned fiber is `await()`ed, and a startup error (a throwing `apply`, a duplicate tool name, a duplicate service) disposes the fiber and surfaces as the tool error, so a failed mount never lingers. A settled fiber that is not active is a legal pending mount — cordis semantics for unsatisfied `inject` — kept mounted and reported with what it waits for. Everything the plugin registers is an effect on its fiber, so `cordis_unmount` is nothing but an awaited `fiber.dispose()`.

The correctness investment therefore goes where it pays for every capability at once: the generated API catalog surfaced through `cordis_inspect`, and sandbox-boundary validation whose error messages teach the correct call. A structured registration tool remains addable later as sugar that synthesizes mount code; nothing here forecloses it.

Sections: `services` (every provided ctx service and the plugin fiber that owns it), `plugins` (the whole plugin fiber tree with lifecycle states, as an ASCII tree — dynamic mounts appear under the `cordis-dynamic` group with their ids), `tools` (the model-facing tools currently registered, i.e. what you can call), `dynamic` (plugins you mounted via cordis_mount: id, name, state, provided services, awaited services), `api` (method signatures AND argument/return type shapes for every LIVE service — read this before writing plugin code that calls a service), `events` (every harness event with its dispatch mode and exact signature — pick listener targets here).
