Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat(plugin-inspect): serve the SPA from a lockstep
 client-assets package

Pilot of the deferred-client-assets pattern: the inspector's Vue SPA now
ships in a new @devframes/plugin-inspect-client package instead of inside
the node tarball, which drops from ~409 KB (90% SPA) to ~18 KB. Its Vite
build emits into plugins/inspect/client-pkg/dist, and cli.distDir points
at a RemoteAssets declaration (package + version + resolveFrom).

In this monorepo the client package is a dev-only workspace link, so
resolveFrom short-circuits to its built dist (zero network); published
consumers get the assets on demand through devframe's caching CDN
back-proxy, or by installing the client package for an offline/air-gap UI.

Wires the nested workspace glob (plugins/*/client-pkg), turbo outputs, a
knip override for the runtime-string dependency, and updates the plugin's
test harness to resolve the source.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] refactor(plugin-inspect): name the assets package
 -assets, not -client
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

'client' is overloaded in devframe (devframe/client is the RPC client;
each plugin's ./client export is its panel script), so a package holding
prebuilt browser assets reads wrong as '…-client'. Rename
@devframes/plugin-inspect-client -> @devframes/plugin-inspect-assets and
the directory client-pkg -> assets-pkg, and adopt '${pkg.name}-assets' as
the convention for deferred SPA-asset packages.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] refactor(plugin-inspect): double-dash the assets package
 suffix

Separate the '--assets' companion suffix from the plugin's own name
segments: @devframes/plugin-inspect-assets -> @devframes/plugin-inspect--assets.
The '--' makes the auto-derived assets package visually distinct from a
plugin whose name legitimately ends in a single-dash segment. Convention
is now '${pkg.name}--assets'; the directory stays plugins/*/assets-pkg.
