fix(bootstrap): self-heal a systemd unit left on a retired plugin root

The residue an interrupted update leaves behind is invisible: the server
runs, every doctor row reads OK, and the unit quietly still names a cache
directory Claude Code deleted during the update. Nothing surfaces it until
a reboot, when the dashboard does not come back and nothing recorded why.

- fastPathOk now rejects a stale unit, so the next SessionStart repairs it
  instead of short-circuiting. `unitIsStale` is pure fs on purpose: that
  path runs on every session and may not spawn a process.
- Repairing the unit is not restarting the server. A current, healthy
  server keeps running and the corrected unit takes effect at the next
  start (`pendingSystemdRestart = systemdOwned && needsServer`), and the
  detached-spawn fallback is guarded by needsServer so a stale unit alone
  cannot start a second server onto a bound port.
- systemdOwned now also requires the unit to be ACTIVE. Installed-but-
  stopped owns nothing: skipping the stop there and asking systemd to start
  would bind an occupied port and crash-loop under Restart=always.
- /agenthub-doctor gains a systemd row naming the consequence ("will NOT
  come back after a reboot") and the fix. WARN, never FAIL — the dashboard
  in front of you works, and having no unit at all is a normal setup.

The fast-path test pins the regression against an otherwise fully healthy
install, live server included; without a live server it would have passed
against the unfixed code either way.

## Non-negotiable engineering rules
- **When a `agenthub.service` unit of ours owns the server, nothing else may stop it.** The bootstrap that performs a self-update is spawned by the running server, so it lives in that server's systemd cgroup: SIGTERM-ing the server from there exits 0 (which `Restart=on-failure` read as "meant to stop") AND trips `KillMode=control-group`, reaping the bootstrap before it can repoint the unit or write `state.json` — a dashboard dead after every update until some later session bootstrapped again. So `scripts/systemd-service.js` splits the API: `writeUserService` repoints the unit and starts NOTHING, `restartUserService` uses `--no-block`, and `plugin-bootstrap.js` defers that restart past `writeState` and `releaseLock` (`pendingSystemdRestart`). The unit is `Restart=always`. Do not add a path that stops the dashboard from inside its own cgroup, and do not move the restart earlier. `agenthub service install` may keep using `installUserService` — it runs from a user's shell, outside the cgroup.

A unit naming a RETIRED plugin root is invisible until a reboot, so `fastPathOk` rejects it via `unitIsStale` (pure fs — that path may never spawn a process) and the bootstrap rewrites it; repairing the unit is NOT restarting the server (`pendingSystemdRestart = systemdOwned && needsServer`), and the detached-spawn fallback is guarded by `needsServer` so a stale unit alone never starts a second server onto a bound port.
- **A session reload is typed into a live pane, never spawned.** `/reload-plugins` and `/reload-skills` are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so nothing can reload a session from the outside. `server/lib/cc-reload.js` therefore types them into the dashboard's existing tmux lane panes and spawns NO `claude` process — a one-shot `claude -p "/reload-plugins"` reloads only its own short-lived session, exits, and leaves a junk session in the dashboard's own history. Do not add a path that starts a session in order to reload one.
- Preserve existing behavior unless explicitly asked to change it.
- Prefer minimal, reversible diffs.
