cproudlock 7b79a444b8 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.

"""Canary tests for the plugin scaffolder's frontend generation.
`flask plugin new <name>` generates the backend skeleton and a matching Vue
frontend starting point: list, detail, and form views, a route file, and a
paste-in api-client snippet. All of it lands INSIDE the plugin, under
`plugins/<name>/frontend/`, which is what lets stage-frontend.mjs stage it and
a lean build prune it (ADR-013).
These tests guard the file names and their location, the substitutions, the
ADR-009 plugin gating on the routes, the alias-vs-relative import split that
has to survive staging, the use of global CSS classes over per-page input
styling, and the no-clobber behaviour.
All generation runs against tmp_path. The real frontend/src tree is never
touched.
