Subject: [PATCH] feat(agent-term): show details for plugin_install and
 commands_changed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Currently both system subtypes fall through to the generic muted
note renderer (⚙ <subtype>), giving the operator no insight into
what is happening.

plugin_install:
  Render status explicitly — "loading…" on started, "✓ done" on
  completed — so a slow plugin boot is visible in the scrollback
  instead of two identical cryptic rows.

commands_changed:
  Render the count of available slash commands in the summary row
  and expand to the full list in a collapsible details block. The
  list is most useful right after a fresh plugin_install so the
  operator can see exactly which /commands are now on offer.

Both handlers sit immediately before the generic catch-all in the
system-subtype dispatch in renderStream, preserving the existing
fall-through for other subtypes (context_window_exceeded etc.).

Closes #2183.
