ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 4a1fd7464a fix(errors): serve /api/v3/errors/* from the display service; add a Plugin errors panel (#614)
* fix(errors): serve /api/v3/errors/* from the display service's aggregator

The error aggregator is a per-process singleton and only the display
service runs plugins, so only its aggregator records anything. The routes
read the web process's own, empty one and always reported no errors.

The display service now publishes a bounded snapshot of its aggregator to
the shared cache (plugin_error_snapshot) from a daemon thread: at most once
every 10 s and only when something changed, never raising into the caller.
The routes read it and keep their response shapes, adding
snapshot_available, generated_at and clear_pending; exception text has
credentials redacted.

POST /errors/clear writes a clear request (plugin_error_clear_request) that
the display applies on its next 5 s tick via the new clear_before(), which
keeps errors recorded after the cutoff and rebuilds the counts. Until the
snapshot acknowledges the request, reads hide everything before the cutoff,
so a snapshot written just before the click cannot bring errors back. Adds
"all": true; cleared_count is null when only the display can know it.

* feat(web): show plugin errors in the Logs tab

A compact panel under the log viewer: per-plugin error counts, repeating
errors (type, count, affected plugins, a sample message, last seen) and a
Clear button, with empty states for "no errors" and "display service
hasn't reported yet". Polls every 15 s while the tab is active; all text
goes through escapeHtml.

* docs: describe where plugin error reports come from and how clear works

* fix(errors): redact the published snapshot before clipping it

Keeping only a traceback's tail (or clipping a message) could cut an
`api_key=` marker off while keeping the secret after it, and the web side's
redaction would then have nothing to match. The display now redacts every
free-text field of the snapshot first. The patterns move to a Flask-free
src/redaction.py so the display service can use them; redact_text in the web
error handler uses the same function, unchanged in behaviour.

"""/api/v3/errors/* report the display service's errors, not the web's.
The error aggregator is a per-process singleton, and only the display service
runs plugins, so only its aggregator ever records anything. The routes used to
read the web process's own aggregator and so always answered "no errors".
Here the two services are two ErrorAggregator instances and two CacheManagers
over one temporary directory -- the same arrangement as the real services,
which share /var/cache/ledmatrix. The display side publishes through
ErrorSnapshotPublisher.tick(); the web side is the real blueprint.
