The Desktop loads a unified package's desktop half from the copy in
desktop-plugins/<name>/, not from the package. Editing the source shipped
nothing and nothing said so:
- a package symlinked into plugins/ (the in-place dev layout the Python
loader already follows) was never copied at all — Dirent.isDirectory()
is false for a symlink;
- an installed package edited in place stayed stale until Rescan/restart.
Electron now follows symlinked package dirs, marks their copy linked, and
re-syncs it on any byte difference. The renderer watches a linked copy's
source plugin.js and, on save, runs the reconcile and hot-reloads. Catalog
and git installs keep the mtime rule. `hermes plugins doctor` warns when
the copy differs from the source and says how to refresh it.
