atlas 8b14d959d6 otel: move the generic OTLP environment out of claude's settings
The endpoint, protocol, temporality preference and resource labels were
shipped only inside claude's managed settings json, so they applied to
claude's own process. hive-bash-daemon, hive-mcp-http, hive-matrix-daemon
and hive-forge-notify are systemd *siblings* of claude rather than its
children, so nothing shipped there could ever reach them: `hive-metric`
invoked from a tool call exited with "OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT not
set", which is the honest failure of a value it structurally could not
see.

Declare those variables container-wide in a new agent module instead —
systemd.globalEnvironment for every unit PID 1 starts, environment.variables
for login shells. Both are needed and neither implies the other; NIX_REMOTE
is set both ways for the same reason.

Claude keeps only what is genuinely its own: the telemetry master flag,
the feedback-survey flag, the version label, and which signals it
exports. A different producer in the same container may legitimately
emit only metrics.

The hyperhive.otel.* options move across with them. They have more than
one consumer now, so their home is the OTEL module rather than the
claude one.

Claude Code plugins to install at harness boot. Each entry is
passed verbatim to `claude plugin install <spec>` once per
container start, before the turn loop opens. `claude plugin
install` is expected to be idempotent, so reinstalling on every
boot is cheap. Failures log a warning but do not abort boot a
missing plugin is preferable to a non-serving agent. Rendered to
`/etc/hyperhive/claude-plugins.json`; the harness reads it via
`plugins::install_configured`.
Defaults to Anthropic's `skill-creator` (teaches an agent to
write, refine, and evaluate its own skills) plus hyperhive's own
`base` plugin one plugin bundling every skill that applies to
*all* agents regardless of role (currently just `state-hygiene`,
read-before-write + dated-archive discipline for durable
notes/state files; more all-agent skills land as additional
skills inside this same plugin, not new plugins a skill that
only some agents need gets its own specialized plugin instead).
Agents get both out of the box, matching the default
marketplaces above.
Note that a per-agent definition REPLACES this default rather
than extending it (ordinary NixOS list-option semantics, same as
`claudeMarketplaces`). An agent that wants extra plugins AND the
defaults should list both `skill-creator@claude-plugins-official`
and `base@hyperhive` alongside them.
