ethernet 284dbaf537 fix(pm): isolate bootstrap dependencies and unify YAML on ruamel
Activation reaches plugin discovery before the application dependencies
exist. Give PM its own locked Python project and runtime so it can install
or repair the application without importing that dependency tree.

Keep PM outside the application workspace. A shared uv workspace resolves
the application graph and cannot provide this isolation. Route mutations
through an isolated worker and preserve transaction callbacks, cancellation,
custom package registrations, and correlated receipts.

Use the same runtime builder for source installs and packaged payloads.
Keep offline wheelhouse support in that builder. Nix builds the independent
PM lock as a separate derivation. Refuse lazy-disabled bootstrap before
installing tools or dependencies.

Move first-party YAML readers and writers to ruamel. Keep the application
lock's transitive PyYAML requirements for third-party packages.

Verification:
- Focused canonical Python suite: 177 passed, 1 host-gated skip.
- Electron backend probes: 12 passed. Electron typecheck passed.
- Both uv locks, scoped lint, Bash syntax, and whitespace checks passed.
- Cold activation, corrupt-app repair, offline staging, and relocation ran.
- Built and exercised the Nix PM runtime and standalone YAML merge script.

Six broader caller test files retain the same 24 failing test IDs as an
archive of HEAD. The existing real-home guard blocks those tests before
they can exercise the affected paths. No full-suite pass is claimed.
Native Windows signing and full Bionic package execution remain unverified.

"""``hermes plugins validate`` — admission checks for a plugin directory.
This is the command the plugin-catalog admission CI (and the
``.github/actions/plugin-validate`` composite action) runs against a
candidate plugin. It performs static manifest checks plus a
subprocess-isolated capability probe: the plugin is imported and its
``register(ctx)`` called against a minimal recording stub context in a
scratch child process (with a throwaway ``HERMES_HOME``), so a crashing or
malicious plugin cannot take down the CLI, and the *actually registered*
tools/hooks/middleware are compared against the manifest's declared
``provides_*`` lists.
