WHC da812cc7e8 v0.8.8: Qt front end redesign, responsive shell, UI input tests
The window is no longer one file pretending to be a chat box. The transcript,
the run panel, the composer and the two consent dialogs are their own QML
components over one Theme singleton, and the shell around them adapts to the
screen: docked and scrollable on a desktop, a slide-out drawer on a phone.

QML (app/qml/, new except Main.qml):
- Theme.qml: single QML singleton, dark Breeze-flavoured tokens (surface,
  border, accent, text/textDim/textFaint, radius, pad, gap, sizes, monospace);
  diffLineColor() for unified-diff rows, compactBreakpoint 880, touchTarget
  34, segmentHeight 30, headerHeight 42.
- ChatView.qml: a row-type dispatcher over the transcript model (message,
  thought, tool, note), follow-the-tail scrolling with a "jump to latest"
  button once the user scrolls up, and an empty state that says where the
  agent runs and what it can do.
- MessageCard.qml, ThinkBlock.qml, NoteLine.qml, ToolCard.qml (status pill,
  arguments, collapsible output, 500-line cut, diff colouring, spinner while
  the call runs), TodoPanel.qml.
- Sidebar.qml: workspace/provider/status, mode and approval segmented rows,
  plan switch, the engine's todo list, version footer; scrolls, so a short
  window still reaches every control.
- Composer.qml: auto-growing field, Enter sends / Shift+Enter newlines,
  red Stop while a turn runs, autocorrect hints off, finger-sized targets.
- ConsentDialog.qml (Deny / Once / Always -> CST_PERM_*) and AskDialog.qml
  (the model's options become buttons, free text stays possible).
- Main.qml: shell with header, draggable sidebar splitter (hover feedback,
  200-560 px, double-click resets), transcript, composer, the two dialogs,
  Esc to cancel and Ctrl+L to clear. Under 880 px the sidebar becomes a
  drawer with a scrim instead of squeezing the chat away.

AgentCore / main.cpp:
- provider, model, approval and planMode are properties now; approval and
  plan mode write back into the engine's config, and renderMarkdown() calls
  cst_web_md_html(), so a table or a code fence looks like the WebUI's.
- the todo hook writes m_todo on the GUI thread (it was written from the
  worker thread before: a data race on a QString member).
- --size WxH for the window (the layout tests drive it), and the Basic style
  is chosen by default: the Breeze Quick style registers its types with
  relative URLs, which floods the log and breaks the composer.

UI tests (app/src/ui/):
- --uitest drives the real window with synthesized input and exits with the
  number of failures: 15 checks over docking/drawer transitions, mouse clicks
  and touch taps reaching the engine's mode, the plan switch, the composer
  arming the send button, and a 460x900 -> 1200x820 resize round trip.
- every control the tests touch carries an objectName; the sidebar's
  implicitHeight binding loop is gone.

Tests: cst-app-selftest and --uitest pass in the standalone app build,
ctest cst-app-selftest passes in the repo build (38/38 on the host).

WHC 5ba215b36c v0.8.7: tool capability metadata, in-process engine, Qt app, Android engine
The engine can be embedded now instead of only driven from a terminal: the
same objects link into a Qt front end (app/) that owns a cst_agent_t inside
its own process -- no port, no token, no second process -- and that front end
now runs on the desktop and, engine-side, on the phone.

Capability metadata (include/cst_tools.h, src/tools/registry.c):
- cst_tool_def_t gains perm_name, platforms and available (a probe that
  returns a reason), so a permission is addressable by name and a tool can
  say why it cannot run here.
- cst_platform_name(), cst_tool_platform_ok(), cst_tool_available(),
  cst_tool_meta_reload(), cst_tool_perm_name() and CST_PLAT_DESKTOP[].
- cst_tool_register() may take over a built-in name that is not runnable on
  this platform, so a front end replaces it with its own implementation.
- the registry entries carry their class (delete_file -> "delete"), the
  desktop clipboard tools carry a clipboard probe; find/active/run gate on it.
- /api/settings.tools[] exposes perm_name, platforms, available, why and the
  declared parameters.

Engine as a library (Makefile, CMakeLists.txt):
- libcstcore.a from the CORE_OBJ set, and a CMake cstcore target shared by
  the CLI and by app/ (-DCST_BUILD_APP=ON): the engine is compiled once.
- Android branch for the vendored sashidown: a per-ABI archive built with the
  NDK's aarch64-linux-android24-clang wrapper, because CMake's compiler is
  plain clang and keeps --target/--sysroot in its own variables.

Qt front end (app/, new):
- AgentCore wraps one cst_agent_t: turns run on a worker thread, every
  cst_agent_hooks_t callback becomes a Qt signal, and the two hooks that need
  an answer (on_permission, on_ask_user) block the worker until the GUI
  replies; mode, approval and plan mode go through the engine's config.
- ToolProvider hands the front end's tools to the engine (owner "app:*"); the
  Linux one is notification_send with a probe for notify-send/D-Bus.
- Main.qml: transcript, tool blocks, consent dialog (Deny/Once/Always ->
  CST_PERM_*), ask_user, mode switch, Esc to cancel; --selftest stays
  headless and runs the embedding checks without QML.

Android (scripts/, docs/android.md, new):
- scripts/build_third_party_android.sh builds static mbedTLS + libcurl for an
  ABI (CA path /system/etc/security/cacerts); build_android.sh builds
  cst-agent, libcstcore.a and the test binaries for the phone, can push them
  and run the whole suite there.
- sandbox_exec.c keeps the plain exec path on Android: the seccomp supervisor
  compiled in and the probe reported "seccomp", but writes outside the
  workspace were not denied on the device -- claiming a sandbox that does not
  hold is worse than reporting none.
- tests/test_diff.c compares layouts only against real GNU diffutils: toybox's
  diff prints the same hunk header with its own hunk/context rules.

Tests: test_tool_meta (metadata, platform gate, probe reasons, takeover of a
built-in name) and test_embed (in-process embedding contract) are new; the
existing registry/llm_body assertions now follow availability. 38 test
binaries pass on the host, 36/36 on arm64-v8a Android 16, cst-app-selftest
passes in both the standalone app/ build and the repo build.
