Generalize bundled plugin provisioning: `ensureBundledKubernetesPlugin` → `ensureBundledPlugins` (#10063)

**Builds on** #10058 — reads `plugins.autoInstall` from the parsed
managed-config contract #10058 introduces (the interim
`readManagedPluginAutoInstall` shim is retired at rebase).

**Summary.** Boot-time bundled-plugin provisioning becomes
catalog-driven. A new bundled-plugin catalog lists the sandbox providers
shipped in-tree (keys like `kubernetes`, `daytona` → plugin key + path
under the catalog root). Managed instances read `plugins.autoInstall`
from `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`; unknown keys or paths escaping the
catalog root (symlinks resolved) **throw before listen** — a managed
instance refuses to start rather than boot half-provisioned.
Installation keeps today's mechanism: an in-process, fail-safe
`loader.installPlugin({ localPath })` under a system actor — no HTTP
route, no user, no role widening. Self-hosted boot is unchanged
(kubernetes bundle only, existing env override honored, install failures
still log-and-continue).

**Semantics.** A plugin already present in any non-uninstalled state is
skipped, so an operator-disabled plugin is never silently re-enabled;
managed mode reinstalls soft-uninstalled bundles (the control plane owns
provisioning); removal from the autoInstall list never auto-uninstalls.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-provider plugins ship in-tree, but boot-time provisioning is
hard-coded to exactly one of them (Kubernetes) via a bespoke function
> - On managed hosting, tenant users have no install privileges, so any
bundled plugin that is not provisioned at boot is unusable
> - Widening install routes or granting roles to fix that would trade a
provisioning gap for a security regression
> - This pull request generalizes the existing boot installer into a
catalog-driven `ensureBundledPlugins`, fed by `plugins.autoInstall` from
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`
> - The benefit is that managed tenants get working bundled plugins out
of the box, through the same in-process, role-free mechanism the
codebase already trusts, while self-hosted boot is unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists; `feature_request` template fields:

- **Problem or motivation:** on managed instances tenant users cannot
install plugins (by design they never hold instance admin), so even
plugins shipped with the product are unusable; boot provisioning
currently knows only the Kubernetes bundle.
- **Proposed solution:** a bundled-plugin catalog plus
`ensureBundledPlugins(keys)` driven by the managed config; same
in-process `loader.installPlugin({ localPath })` under a system actor;
unknown keys or catalog-escaping paths fail startup; already-present
plugins are skipped so operator-disabled plugins are never silently
re-enabled.
- **Alternatives considered:** granting tenant users install privileges
(widens secrets/adapters/settings access to solve a one-button problem);
a separate non-admin install route for bundled plugins (new authz
surface; provisioning removes the need for any install action at all).
- **Roadmap alignment:** supports the in-progress "Cloud deployments"
milestone and builds on the shipped sandbox-provider milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.

Refs #10058.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/bundled-plugins.ts`: the bundled-plugin
catalog, the fail-to-start resolver (`resolveBundledPluginInstalls`,
positive allowlist + catalog-root containment with symlinks resolved),
and the fail-safe installer (`ensureBundledPlugins`).
- `server/src/app.ts`: replaces the hard-coded
`ensureBundledKubernetesPlugin` boot hook with resolver + installer
wiring, with test hooks (`managedPluginAutoInstall`,
`bundledPluginCatalogRoot` options).
- `server/src/index.ts`: passes `plugins.autoInstall` from the single
fail-closed `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` startup parse (#10058) into
`createApp`; absent env means self-hosted and changes nothing.

## Verification

- 24 new tests in `server/src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts`
(catalog resolution, containment incl. symlink and `..` escapes,
skip/reinstall matrix, self-hosted invariants, installer error paths) —
all green.
- 85 adjacent startup/plugin-route/auto-build/managed-config tests green
(`managed-config`, `instance-settings-managed-overlay`,
`plugin-install-autobuild`, `plugin-routes-authz`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`).
- Server `tsc --noEmit` clean.

```bash
cd server
npx vitest run src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts
npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-install-autobuild.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
npx tsc --noEmit
```

## Risks

- Managed instances with a malformed or unknown `plugins.autoInstall`
entry now **refuse to start** (fail closed, by design) instead of
booting half-provisioned; harness misconfiguration surfaces as a precise
startup error.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged (kubernetes bundle only,
`PAPERCLIP_KUBERNETES_PLUGIN_PATH` honored without containment, install
failures log-and-continue), so the default deployment path carries low
risk.
- No uninstall path exists in this module; removal from the autoInstall
list can leave a previously provisioned plugin installed (intentional v1
semantics, documented in code).

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, agentic tool use;
independently peer-reviewed by a second AI agent before push.

* Two distinct failure postures, deliberately split:
*
* 1. **Resolution (this file, `resolveBundledPluginInstalls`) fails to
* start.** An unknown key or a path that escapes the bundled catalog
* root is a configuration/security violation a positive allowlist,
* not a lookup. Throwing here happens
* synchronously inside `createApp`, before the server listens, so a bad
* document refuses to start rather than silently widening what code can
* be loaded into the host.
*
* 2. **Installation (`ensureBundledPlugins`) is fail-safe.**
* Missing bundle on disk, install error, load error: caught, logged,
* and swallowed per entry so the server ALWAYS finishes booting. A
* degraded boot (one provider unavailable) is strictly preferable to a
* crash loop across a fleet.
*
* Removal of a key from `autoInstall` stops future installs but never
* auto-uninstalls: there is intentionally no uninstall
* path anywhere in this module.
