Auto-register staged agent builds as a pushable application

Gate collect_log on a minimum agent version and bridge the agent version
store to the applications table so a staged build can actually be pushed.

update_app resolves an install source from the applications table alone; it
cannot see agentstore. A build could therefore be staged and current while no
application row existed at all, which is what the fleet was in: the agent was
unpushable. Staging is now the single source of truth - it packages the
current build and upserts the row in the same request, so the row cannot
describe a build that is no longer staged.

PARTIAL BUILD ADVISORY
This is steps 1-4 of a longer rollout and is deliberately incomplete:
  - There is no push trigger yet. The registered package is resolvable and
	verifiable, but nothing enqueues an upgrade; the "behind current build"
	indicator is still display-only.
  - The upgrade template script, its script row, and the enqueue route
	(endpoints.agentupdate) are not written.
  - Blocking constraint for the next slice: run_script executes
	powershell.exe -File <script> with NO argument channel, so a delivered
	upgrade script cannot be passed BaseUrl/CollectorKey and must either
	source them itself or run_script must be extended first.
Nothing here touches a live endpoint. Staging only changes what a future
push would contain.

Details:
  - Package members carry a fixed timestamp. zipfile stamps the current mtime
	by default, so identical input produced a different archive digest on
	every call. update_app pins a download by SHA-256, so a drifting hash
	would rewrite installersha256 out from under an endpoint mid-download and
	fail its verification.
  - All three routes that can change 'current' re-register (upload,
	adopt-legacy, rollback). Covering only upload would leave the row pinned
	to the build an operator just rolled away from, and the push would ship
	it anyway - silent drift.
  - Registration cannot fail an upload. The binary is staged and audited by
	the time it runs, so a packaging problem is reported in the response
	payload rather than raised; returning an error would tell the operator a
	successful upload was rejected.
  - The package is written to a temp name and os.replace'd, so an interrupted
	write cannot leave a truncated archive at the path the row advertises.
  - The row is isinstallable but hidden: machine-managed, and it must not
	appear in the software catalogue beside real licensed applications.
  - Added application_package_location() to the shopdb.api contract surface
	(lazy, matching collector_authorized) returning the package directory and
	URL prefix together. agentregistry reached into shopdb.core internals,
	violating the plugin import contract; sourcing both from one place also
	stops the write location and installpath from drifting apart.

collect_log is refused at enqueue below its minimum agent version, with
numeric comparison - string ordering misplaces 1.9.0.0 against 1.16.0. The
refusal is mirrored in the UI so a command slot is not spent on a call that
is guaranteed to fail.

Test isolation: create_app('testing') resolves instance_path to the real repo
instance/ directory, so agent upload tests write into the developer's actual
store. The new tests redirect both the store and package output into tmp_path
and include a guard test that fails if that isolation regresses. NOTE: the
pre-existing test_endpoints_agentupload.py still has this leak and deposits
1.5.0.0 and 1.6.3 into instance/siteagent/ on a full run - not fixed here.

Suite: 2834 passed, 11 skipped. The two failures (test_docs_publishable, and
a symlink scan needing Windows privileges) were confirmed pre-existing by
stashing this work and reproducing them.

"""Register staged endpoint agent builds as installable Applications.
The endpoint update_app push resolves an install source from the applications
table alone - it has no knowledge of the agent version store. Without a row
there, a build can be staged and current in agentstore and still be impossible
to push, which is exactly the gap found in the fleet: no application row existed
for the agent at all.
This module bridges the two by making the UPLOAD the single source of truth.
Staging a build repackages the current agent (plus tray) and rewrites the
application row's installpath and installersha256 in the same request, so the
row cannot describe a build that is no longer current. Nothing here is
hand-maintained; an operator never edits these rows.
