ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c461f4efdb feat(ipc)!: remove the cache-key mailboxes (control socket stage 5)
The control socket is now the only way the web interface sends the display a
command. The display stops reading display_on_demand_request and
plugin_error_clear_request, and the web interface stops writing them.

- Display: no mailbox poll (MailboxWatch, the 1 s / 0.25 s cadence,
  _consume_on_demand_request, the deprecation log) and no persisted
  display_on_demand_processed_id guard; the error publisher reads no clear
  request. CacheManager.file_signature and MailboxWatch are removed.
- A write to either retired key is dropped by CacheManager.save_cache and
  logged once per writer, naming the plugin from the call stack (or the
  request's plugin_id), with the API to move to.
- Web: on-demand start with no display listening starts the service (when
  start_service) and sends the request again once the socket answers (45 s,
  10 s for a running service without a socket yet); every other failure is
  a 503 (400 for invalid_args). Stop answers 503 when no display listens,
  unless stop_service. errors/clear answers 503 with a reason-specific
  message instead of writing a request; clear_pending is always false.
  src.ipc.client.should_fall_back is replaced by display_not_listening.
- Kept: display_current_state, display_on_demand_state,
  plugin_runtime_snapshot and the heartbeat (read whenever the socket cannot
  answer), and display_on_demand_config (the display's resume record).

Tests: mailbox-only tests removed (test_on_demand_mailbox.py, the mailbox
cadence, file_signature and MailboxWatch tests); tests that injected
requests through the mailbox now use the socket queue or a plugin's
in-process request. The run-loop harness sends on-demand requests over its
fake control socket, so four golden traces change: on-demand starts and
stops land at the request instant instead of the next 0.25 s mailbox look
(one frame fewer on the screen they end), and in vegas.json within one
frame instead of 263 ms, which shifts the later 1 s-throttled WiFi-notice
check by under a second.

"""/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.
