feat(gateway): Google Chat platform + cross-platform allowlists + behavior toggles (WS-5)

Catches the Mac Messaging Gateway and Platforms surfaces up to Hermes
v0.13.0. Adds Google Chat as the 20th platform under Settings → Platforms,
gated on `hasGoogleChatPlatform`. Adds a per-platform "Gateway behavior"
subsection to the six platforms Hermes added v0.13 allowlist support to
(Slack, Mattermost, Google Chat, Telegram, WhatsApp, Matrix) — each
exposes the `allowed_channels` / `allowed_chats` / `allowed_rooms` editor
plus three new toggles (`busy_ack_enabled`, `gateway_restart_notification`,
`slash_command_notice_ttl_seconds`). The Messaging Gateway page header
gains a one-line cross-profile digest sourced from `hermes gateway list
--json`. SkillsView surfaces an informational row on skills whose body
contains the v0.13 `[[as_document]]` directive.

New ScarfCore types: `GatewayAllowlistKind` (channels/chats/rooms +
platform mapping), `GatewayPlatformSettings` (per-platform v0.13 bundle),
`GatewayConfigWriter` (pure YAML list-block editor — `hermes config set`
can't write lists; tested with 15 cases incl. round-trip + idempotence +
quoting + scalar-sibling preservation), `HermesGatewayListService`
(`hermes gateway list --json` parser tolerant of unknown keys + alt
field names; 13 tests), `HermesConfig.gatewayPlatforms` field. Mac VM
renamed to `MessagingGatewayViewModel` (single-feature local rename;
CLAUDE.md "the SidebarSection.gateway enum case stays" invariant
upheld). All 22 new tests pass; full ScarfCore suite green except 3
pre-existing `RemoteSQLiteBackendTests` failures unrelated to WS-5.

Capability-gated end-to-end. Pre-v0.13 hosts see no Google Chat row,
no cross-profile digest, no v0.13 toggles, and no `[[as_document]]`
info row — the v2.7.5 surface is byte-for-byte unchanged. Q1-Q3 wire-
shape unknowns (Google Chat identifier, YAML key path,
`gateway list --json` shape) are marked with `// TODO(WS-5-Q<N>)` and
defended by tolerant parsers + dual-spelling lookups.

Implements WS-5 of Scarf v2.8.0 (Hermes v0.13.0 catch-up).
Plan: scarf/docs/v2.8/WS-5-gateway-v0.13-plan.md (on coordination/v2.8.0-plans).

 ## Kanban v3: drag-and-drop board + per-project tenants (v2.7.5)
 
 Scarf v2.7.5 promotes Kanban from a read-only list to a full board with drag-and-drop, every Hermes write verb wired up, and per-project boards bound to a Scarf-minted tenant slug. The list view is preserved as a `Board | List` toggle for accessibility / narrow-window fallback.
