Phase 6C pass 2. Every link in the module UI chain existed except the one
that closes it: a module could be authored, built, validated, published at a
browser URL, and loaded by a generic loader — and nothing in Ekklesia did any
of it. There was no browser application at all.

Two pieces were missing. A browser could not discover what to mount, and it
must not work that out for itself.

GET /api/v1/module-ui is the inventory: per publishable module, its id and
version, the server-produced artifact URL, the server-produced root of the
module's own API, and the subset of that module's declared permissions the
caller holds. Five fields, each because building a ModuleUiHostContext needs
it — no filesystem paths, and no name/icon/folder/order, because navigation
metadata is a design that does not exist yet. Its module set is the ADR 0025
publication registry rather than a rescan, so the inventory and the artifact
route cannot disagree. It requires a new Core permission, core.modules.ui.read
(baseline authenticated), because it is precisely the enumeration the anonymous
artifact route deliberately withholds.

Both URLs are server-produced. moduleUiArtifactUrl already existed;
moduleApiBaseUrl is now exported and moduleRoutePath builds on it, so each URL
shape has exactly one author. Without it the shell would hardcode
/api/v1/modules/<id> — the prefix ADR 0022 forbids a module UI from spelling,
reappearing in the host instead.

surfaces/shell (@ekklesia/shell) is the repository's first surface: a small
React application built to static files by its own esbuild script. It resolves
the principal, fetches the inventory, builds the host context entirely from
server-derived data, and hands the artifact URL to @ekklesia/module-ui-host.
One frame per selection — keyed by module identity — defeats the stale-load
race; the host owns the container, the loading state, and every failure, so a
broken module costs its own panel rather than the shell.

The shell statically imports no module, and both levels are checked: no source
import may name a module, and the emitted bundle must contain exactly one
dynamic import (the loader's) with no module id, no /api/v1/modules, no eval,
and no blob URL. Permission hints come from Core's own evaluator and stay
presentation-only — the end-to-end test has a UI holding no grant call its API
anyway and still receive 403.

Surfaces may now depend only on browser-safe shared roles; @ekklesia/contracts
is deliberately excluded, since its barrel pulls Drizzle's types and Node's
globals into the browser — the hole ADR 0024 closed one layer down.

Not the Dashboard: no navigation, grouping, icons, ordering, design system, or
routing. The selector is a list of module ids.

/**
* The whole chain, with nothing between the halves faked:
*
* ```text
* module fixture on disk -> discovery -> module runtime started -> publication registry
* -> inventory endpoint -> the shell's own bootstrap -> server-produced artifact URL
* -> the generic loader -> mount -> the module calls its own API relatively
* -> the shell resolves it to /api/v1/modules/<id>/... -> server permission enforcement
* ```
*
* Every step runs real code. The module is discovered and *started* by Core's real runtime, its
* routes are mounted by the real `createApiApp`, its artifact is published by the real ADR 0025
* route, its descriptor comes from the real inventory endpoint, and the browser half is
* `@ekklesia/shell`'s own exported protocol — the same functions the React shell calls — rather
* than a reimplementation of them here.
*
* Two things are deliberately *not* faked-around and are worth naming. The shell's `fetch` is the
* Hono app's own `request`, so requests really traverse routing, CORS, authorization middleware, and
* handlers without needing a socket. And Node cannot `import()` an `http:` URL, so the artifact is
* fetched over that same in-process HTTP path and the **bytes it returned** are handed to the
* generic loader through a `data:` URL — a genuine module URL, the same separation ADR 0025 used.
* No test here reads the artifact off the filesystem and calls that a proof of publication.
