feat(plugins): allow uploaded nodeExecution behind consent gate (#8576)
* feat(plugins): allow uploaded nodeExecution behind consent gate

Re-open the nodeExecution permission for uploaded/community plugins
(previously built-in only, #8205) behind the existing main-process
consent dialog. Phase 1 of #8512; unblocks the Super Productivity MCP
plugin (discussion #8385).

- Main process sanitizes the attacker-controlled plugin id and the
  self-declared name/version before they reach the consent dialog or
  the grant map (control/bidi/whitespace rejected, length-capped).
- Bundled vs uploaded is decided by the on-disk manifest, never a
  renderer-supplied flag, so uploaded code can't borrow a built-in
  plugin's verified name.
- Uploaded-plugin dialog anchors on the validated id, flags the plugin
  as unverified third-party with full machine access / no sandbox, and
  defaults to Deny.
- Revoke is main-authoritative by (pluginId, webContents) so a re-upload
  reusing an id can't inherit a live session grant.
- Consent stays session-scoped: an in-memory, never-synced denied set
  prevents re-prompt storms; deny keeps the plugin enabled but fails
  node calls closed until re-enable or restart.

* fix(plugins): reject path-segment ids in nodeExecution consent gate

Multi-agent review of the Phase 1 gate found the uploaded plugin id —
used as a path component in the bundled-manifest existsSync probe — was
not rejecting path separators or dot-segments. Impact was bounded (the
verified-builtin branch re-validates with the strict kebab regex before
any read, so no code exec / file read / dialog spoof), but `..` / `/`
left a filesystem-existence oracle and rendered misleadingly as the
dialog "Plugin ID". assertSafePluginId now rejects `/`, `\`, `.`, `..`.

Also from review: factor the shared Allow/Deny dialog shell, and correct
the denied-cache comment (the existing token short-circuit handles the
multi-call-site case; the cache only makes a denial sticky across a later
non-interactive grant re-entry). Documents the uploaded-id constraints.

* fix(plugins): harden uploaded nodeExecution consent gate (review follow-ups)

Addresses multi-agent review findings on the uploaded-plugin nodeExecution
consent gate:

- id validation: use an allowlist (/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$/) instead of a
  Unicode denylist, closing bidi/zero-width/homoglyph dialog-anchor spoofing the
  range list missed (U+061C, U+2060, U+3164, fullwidth chars); strip all Unicode
  control+format chars from the self-declared display name/version.
- never upgrade trust: describeVerifiedBuiltInDialog returns null on any imperfect
  on-disk verification (id mismatch, missing permission, unreadable manifest) and
  the grant handler falls back to the unverified dialog, so a colliding uploaded id
  can never borrow a built-in's verified dialog.
- reserve the gitea/linear/trello/azure-devops issue-provider bundled ids (they had
  drifted out of BUNDLED_PLUGIN_IDS, leaving an impersonation gap) and guard the
  BUNDLED_PLUGIN_PATHS subset-of BUNDLED_PLUGIN_IDS invariant with a node test.
- key the revoke and exec IPC handlers through the same assertSafePluginId as the
  grant handler so the "revoke by id on teardown/re-upload" guarantee can't drift.
- clear the session nodeExecution denial when a plugin is uninstalled, so a fresh
  re-upload of the same id is prompted again rather than silently failing closed.
- de-duplicate the PluginNodeExecutionElectronApi interface into a single
  electron/shared-with-frontend model (was copied byte-identically in two files).
