Pluginify provider/platform/terminal backends

Move provider adapters (anthropic, bedrock, azure), platform adapters
(telegram, slack, discord, feishu, dingtalk, matrix), and terminal backends
(modal, daytona) out of core into plugins/ workspace members. Core references
them via the plugin registries (get_provider_namespace / get_provider_service /
get_tool_provider / get_credential_pool_hook) instead of direct imports.

- Provider/platform/terminal adapters relocated under plugins/; pyproject
  extras reference workspace members; nix variants aggregate per-platform extras.
- Anthropic credential discovery + OAuth-masquerade guard live in the plugin's
  credential_pool_hook; browser-open guarded by _can_open_graphical_browser.
- Vercel AI Gateway + Vercel Sandbox removed (upstream deletion); get_bedrock_model_ids
  removed (replaced by bedrock_model_ids_or_none + discover_bedrock_models).
- Terminal backends resolve ModalEnvironment / DaytonaEnvironment lazily from
  the plugin registry.
- uv.lock regenerated against the pluginified workspace.

Plugin test suites updated for the relocation: imports point at
hermes_agent_<plat>.adapter, caplog logger-name filters and monkeypatch targets
use the new module paths, and credential/rollback tests patch
registries.get_provider_service rather than the removed agent.*_adapter modules.

Verified: zero dead imports of relocated modules in core (import smoke test +
rename-map grep); nix develop succeeds; targeted plugin suites green
(bedrock, anthropic-auxiliary, matrix, dingtalk, feishu, credential_pool,
switch_model_rollback). Remaining full-suite failures are pre-existing on the
pre-merge tree (telegram setUpModule __code__) or environmental (voice/media/
PTY/network-dependent), not introduced here.

Merge origin/main into ethie/oh-god (pluginify refactor reconciliation)

Reconciles the "pluginify everything" refactor (moving provider adapters,
platform adapters, and terminal backends out of core into plugins/) with
267 commits of main. main had 515 edits across 635 files; our branch moved
98 files into plugins/. The dangerous class was main editing files at OLD
paths that we relocated — handled below.

STRUCTURAL DECISIONS
- ai-gateway + vercel_sandbox: honored main's PR NousResearch#33067 deletion. Dropped our
  orphaned plugins/terminals/vercel/ dir and all 3 stale vercel refs that
  survived in pyproject (workspace member, [all] entry, uv source).
- tools/lazy_deps.py: kept main's version. Our branch deleted it incompletely
  (WIP) while main has 30 live callers + active maintenance. main's intent won.
- agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py: COMBINED — main's atomic swap+rollback
  snapshot envelope wraps our pluginified registries-based anthropic imports.
- agent/credential_pool.py: took our plugin-hook indirection AND ported main's
  api_key_path_explicit OAuth-masquerade security fix INTO the anthropic
  credential_pool_hook (it was pluginified from a pre-fix base and would have
  been silently dropped otherwise).
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py, hermes_cli/models.py: took main's logic
  (cached_provider_model_ids, AI-gateway removal) then re-applied our pluginify
  import rewrites (agent.bedrock_adapter/anthropic_adapter -> registries
  namespace lookups) since those modules moved to plugins.
- tools/terminal_tool.py: took main's version (vercel_sandbox deletion) then
  restored our lazy registry resolution for modal + daytona environments
  (both moved to plugins; main's direct imports would crash at runtime).
- nix/checks.nix: kept both — our hermetic-boundary checks + main's
  messaging-variant discord.py guard.
- pyproject.toml: plugin extras as workspace members (ours) + main's new wecom
  extra; vercel removed throughout.
- uv.lock: regenerated with `uv lock` (not hand-merged); 233 packages.

VERIFICATION
- Zero conflict markers anywhere.
- Exhaustive 17-moved-module grep: no dead imports of relocated modules in core.
- Import smoke test: all hot core modules import clean.
- Targeted tests (21 files incl. credential_pool, anthropic plugin,
  run_agent, project_metadata): pass.
- 3 credential_pool security tests rewired to register the real plugin hook
  (core tests don't trigger plugin discovery): pass.
- Full suite: remaining failures are pre-existing on premerge-oh-god (telegram
  collection error: setUpModule MagicMock __code__) or environmental (matrix
  DNS/e2ee-deps, network) — NOT introduced by this merge. See PR notes.
