Formalises three ad-hoc publish paths that already existed:
automation-events.ts, metrics/automation-bridge.ts and the
hostSessionStatus singleton, now the host.session.status topic.
Both invariants the old code relied on are preserved. Publishing stays
fire-and-forget, so a failing subscriber cannot disturb a metrics poll or
a host delete. The automations engine subscribes to the bus at scheduler
start instead of being imported ad hoc, which keeps the edge
one-directional: automations may import repositories, hosts modules must
not import automations.
Validates an unpacked plugin, spawns a worker_threads worker and manages
activate/deactivate/crash-restart with backoff, disabling after three
tries.
The crash counter clears only after a plugin stays up past a stability
window, not on activation. Clearing it on activation let a plugin that
activates cleanly and then dies restart forever, because every attempt
looked like the first.
loader.ts documents what the worker boundary does and does not buy you.
Node's permission model is process-wide, not per-worker, so it cannot be
enabled for plugin workers alone and is not claimed here.
