refactor(plugin): consolidate the client UI entrypoint

fix(file-panels): Settings offers Source where the picker does, and review follow-ups
- Settings > Files offers Source on every key except those a built-in panel of another kind (Image) claims, so a plugin that alone claims a text extension shows the same choices as the picker. - Delete the unused isSourceFilePanel. - The Markdown example warns with the file name when its unmount write fails, rather than dropping the edit silently. - Document that PluginFile stat fields are read at render time and that watch or the read hooks are how a panel learns they changed.

A generic TCP listener is not sufficient readiness evidence. The browser suite uses direct local daemon connections and does not start a relay. Automated Metro launches set `EXPO_UNSTABLE_HEADLESS=1` so Expo does not download the native DevTools shell into temporary test homes; its read-only cache breaks teardown. Browser fixtures and the standalone Electron browser runner share the developer-toast dismissal helper while retaining console logs.

 - The app Playwright harness boots on Windows as well as POSIX. Spawn Node entrypoints through `process.execPath`, not `npx` or `node_modules/.bin` shims: Node refuses to spawn `.cmd` or `.bat` without `shell: true`, and shell mode concatenates argv without escaping and sends kill signals to `cmd.exe` instead of the real child.
 - Teardown kills the process tree, because a Windows signal reaches only the direct child and leaves forked workers holding the listening port.
 - The `asdf`-backed local Elixir relay stays POSIX-only, so the `relay-deployment` Playwright project is unavailable on Windows.

+# Native retained status-ring regression
+
+This runs the production native ring and clock inside real retained panels with
+Reanimated on Android. A probe consumes the same public rotation hook and counts
+UI-runtime value changes. No Reanimated mocks or provider processes are used.
+
+Use an Android development client compatible with the checkout's native dependencies.
+In a disposable checkout, temporarily replace `packages/app/index.ts` with:
+
+```tsx
+import "./src/polyfills/install-early";
+import "./src/styles/unistyles";
+import { registerRootComponent } from "expo";
+import NativeRingRegression from "./e2e/mobile/status-ring/native";
+registerRootComponent(NativeRingRegression);
+```
+
+Start Metro in `packages/app`:
+
+```sh
+APP_VARIANT=development npx expo start --localhost --port 8096
+```
+
+With one Android emulator running, open that bundle:
+
+```sh
+agent-device open sh.paseo.debug 'exp+voice-mobile://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F10.0.2.2%3A8096' --platform android --session status-ring --metro-port 8096
+```
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+node packages/app/e2e/mobile/status-ring/android.mjs status-ring http://127.0.0.1:8096
+```
+
+The test checks visible rotation, hidden-panel inactivity while another ring is
+visible, inactivity with both panels hidden, and synchronized resumption. Each
+sample reads counters on the UI runtime; elapsed time includes device-command
+latency. The baseline fails at the first hidden-panel assertion.
+
+Restore the original `packages/app/index.ts`, close the agent-device session,
+and stop Metro afterward. The fixture substitutes running rings for a live agent
+and toggles retained panels directly; it does not exercise workspace navigation
+or measure whole-app CPU usage. It is excluded from routine unit tests because
+it requires a native runtime.
