Subject: [PATCH] chore(plugin-catalog): add composer-modes

One installable package (agent half + desktop half) that puts a mode selector in
the desktop composer: ask / agent / plan / debug. The mode's operating note rides
the turn's model-facing bytes via pre_llm_call, so the durable row, the bubble and
the session title keep exactly what the user typed; ask mode is enforced read-only
through pre_tool_call. No core change, no renderer rebuild.

Pinned at 4f4e1c0b36165d84a9e2db7c71516f5a0c627d72 - the v2.0.0 package commit
(gates: 103 pytest cases, the desktop-half smoke test, hermes plugins validate,
and the repo's CI).

+description: Cursor-style composer modes (ask / agent / plan / debug) for the Hermes desktop —
+  the mode's operating note reaches the model inside the turn's model-facing bytes, never the
+  bubble, transcript or session titles, and ask mode is enforced read-only on the tool side.
