Neil a37a5b3e2d Plugin dev emit reaches panels; trim the plugin authoring skill (#37026)
* feat(plugins): dev emit also reaches the plugin's open panels

orca plugin dev emit now publishes through the panel bridge to that dev plugin's open panels
that subscribed with orca.on, under the same approval and capability rules as the worker, and
reports delivered.panels. The bridge's publishEvent takes an optional pluginKey filter and
returns how many panels heard it. A panel-only plugin no longer needs a worker; an event
nothing listens for is refused.

* docs(skills): trim the plugin authoring guide; details move to references

The main guide drops from 299 to 121 lines: the decision table, build-less rules, core loop
(create → dev watch --check --shot → read the PNG → test → check → release-entry), approval
and top gotchas. Test/check and orca/testing (panels and workers), dev watch events, shot,
open and dev emit move to a hand-written references/workflow.md; the panel/worker/data and
agent status recipes to references/recipes.md, each with a read-when row. The guide test now
also scans hand-written references for commands and caps the main guide at 150 lines.
