fix(web): keep host-plane services out of the preset, and pin the lane's skill roots

Moving the agent plane behind per-session presets took five rows with it that
the host still owns, and the Web surface stopped booting: `host-apiproxy`
injects `subagents`, so with the registry disabled here the entry never
activated and `dsh web` died at plugin-tree load.

The criterion is injection, not subject matter. A host row that injects a
service resolves it before any session exists, so there is no agent to key by:
`bash-env` (which `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects to publish `DSH_WEB_URL`), the
`subagents` registry and its spawn/fork backends (a process singleton whose
cross-session queries the api-proxy serves, and whose provider names are
globally unique), and `tool-subagent-report` (a continuable setup on that
singleton, registered once per live session by a list that is not scope-aware)
all stay host-plane. What a preset chooses is which delegation TOOLS it sees.

The browser lane needs the second half: skill roots now resolve inside a preset,
a subtree the lane's include patches cannot reach, so the row's documented
environment fallback is pinned for the whole scaffold lifetime — presets mount
when a session is created, not at boot. Without it a developer's real
~/.dsh/skills enters replay requests and goldens while CI sees none.
