Skills-Dir Plugin Loading & Reliability Fixes

Plugins now load exclusively from a live ~/catalyst/plugin-source checkout via ~/.claude/skills/ symlinks, retiring the version-keyed marketplace cache that caused merged changes to stay invisible until the next release bump. This release also fixes the otel-forward DLQ amplification loop (terminal 4xx errors now drop cleanly instead of cycling), ensures worktree salvage snapshots unpushed commits before any destructive removal, and makes escalation comment + needs-human label an atomic operation so tickets actually appear in the inbox. Run setup-plugin-source.sh on any fleet node not yet cut over — until then, doctor will report a worker-FAIL on skills-dir-plugins.
