Scaffold a plugin's frontend into the plugin, so it can be pruned

`flask plugin new` wrote views to frontend/src/views/<name>/ and a route file
to frontend/src/router/routes/<name>.js. Every one of the 16 bundled plugins
keeps its frontend in plugins/<name>/frontend/ instead, staged into
.plugins-staged by stage-frontend.mjs and aggregated into routes.gen.js.

It was not visibly broken, which is why it lasted: the router still globs
./routes/*.js during the Phase 4 dual-location transition, so a scaffolded
plugin's pages loaded. What a new plugin author silently lost was ADR-013 lean
builds. Pruning works off the staged tree, so a frontend in the core tree
cannot be excluded from a site build, and deleting the plugin strands its
views behind.

The templates for the correct layout already existed; only the output paths
were wrong. Also fixed the imports they carry: core imports now use the @
alias (@/api, @/components/...), which resolves both before and after staging,
where the previous ../../api was correct only in the old location. Sibling
views stay relative and travel with the route file.

frontend_dir is gone from scaffold_plugin. There is no second output tree to
point at, and a plugin developed in its own repo now gets the same frontend as
a bundled one rather than being skipped.

Proven end to end: scaffolded a throwaway plugin, confirmed it stages, builds
real chunks, and that SITE_PLUGINS=network prunes it, which is what the old
layout could not do.

The scaffold generates the frontend starting points too: three views, a route file, and a paste-in api-client snippet (see Step 1). They build and run out of the box against the example model, so `npm run build` is green immediately after scaffolding. The list below is what you finish by hand once the views exist. Copy patterns from the closest bundled plugin (`network` is the cleanest) as you flesh them out, and work through these in order:
1. **View files** - the scaffold created `frontend/src/views/cameras/CamerasList.vue`, `CamerasDetail.vue`, `CamerasForm.vue` from the example model. Replace the `examplefield` columns and inputs with your domain fields. Keep the global `.filters` / `.form-control` / `.card` styles; do not invent per-page input styling.

Replace the `examplefield` columns and inputs with your domain fields. Keep the global `.filters` / `.form-control` / `.card` styles; do not invent per-page input styling.
2. **Route file** - the scaffold created `frontend/src/router/routes/cameras.js` exporting a route array. The router auto-discovers every file in `routes/` via `import.meta.glob`, so no registration edit is needed. Every route is already tagged with `meta: { plugin: 'cameras' }` - the ADR-009 guard redirects to the dashboard when the backend plugin is disabled - and the form routes already carry `requiresAuth: true`:
**Imports have one rule, and staging is the reason.** Anything from the CORE tree uses the `@` alias (`@/api`, `@/components/PaginationBar.vue`, `@/stores/auth`); anything inside your own plugin is relative (`./views/...`). A relative path into the core tree such as `../../api` is correct where the file sits in your plugin and wrong once staged into `.plugins-staged/cameras/`, and the failure is a build error rather than anything subtle.
2. **Route file** - the scaffold created `plugins/cameras/frontend/routes.js` exporting a route array plus a `toplevel` array. `stage-frontend.mjs` aggregates both into `routes.gen.js`, which the router spreads in, so no registration edit is needed. Every route is already tagged with `meta: { plugin: 'cameras' }` - the ADR-009 guard redirects to the dashboard when the backend plugin is disabled - and the form routes already carry `requiresAuth: true`:
```js
export default [
{
path: 'cameras',
name: 'cameras',
component: () => import('../../views/cameras/CamerasList.vue'),
component: () => import('./views/CamerasList.vue'),
meta: { plugin: 'cameras' }
},
{
path: 'cameras/:id/edit',
name: 'cameras-edit',
component: () => import('../../views/cameras/CamerasForm.vue'),
component: () => import('./views/CamerasForm.vue'),
meta: { requiresAuth: true, plugin: 'cameras' }
}
]
// Full-screen routes that render OUTSIDE AppLayout (kiosk, print pages).
// Export it even when empty: routes.gen.js reads `.toplevel` off every staged
// module, and a missing export is a Rollup warning under strict ESM.
export const toplevel = []
```
3. **API client** - the scaffolded views ship with an inline `camerasApi` client so they run standalone. To graduate to the shared module, paste the generated `plugins/cameras/frontend-api-snippet.js` block into `frontend/src/api/index.js`, then delete the inline const in each view and `import { camerasApi } from '../../api'` instead. The snippet already matches the existing blocks' shape (`list(params)`, `get(id)`, `create(data)`, `update(id, data)`, `remove(id)`).

4. **Sidebar entry** - implement `get_navigation_items` on the plugin class. No frontend edit: the sidebar builds itself from `/api/dashboard/navigation`.
