remove dissolved daemon, retire ptyc, fix golden cross-platform

Complete three overdue cleanups discovered during macOS health check:

D-56 daemon dissolution: delete bin/clide.dart, DaemonServer,
and orphaned tests (test/cli/, subprocess_test, in_process_test).
Update stale "clide --daemon" references in i18n catalogs, error
messages, editor_commands, CI scripts, and decision records.

ptyc retirement: delete ptyc/ source tree, PtySession, scm_rights.
Remove from Toolchain resolution, ToolCheck gate, backend
serialization, testmode harness, Makefile, CI, and sandbox
entitlements. PTY spawning uses NativePty (Dart FFI forkpty) since
the terminal was absorbed in-tree. D-5 amended.

Golden tests: wire the existing but never-applied clideGoldenConfig
via flutter_test_config.dart. Disable CI goldens (Skia anti-aliasing
differs between macOS/Linux even with Ahem). Keep platform-keyed
goldens only — goldens/linux/ and goldens/macos/ each run on their
own OS.

Test suite: 826 pass, 0 fail on macOS (was 829 pass, 11 fail).

Subsystem handlers (`lib/src/daemon/`, `lib/src/pty/`, `lib/src/ipc/`, `lib/src/git/`, `lib/src/pql/`), kernel services (`lib/kernel/`), UI widgets (`lib/widgets/`), built-in extensions (`lib/builtin/`), and the extension framework (`lib/extension/`). The Flutter app hosts the IPC server in-process (D-56).

The Flutter app hosts the IPC server in-process (D-56). PTY spawning uses Dart FFI `forkpty()` directly.
- **[`pql`](https://github.com/postmeridiem/pql)** — external supporter tool. Clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
- **`ptyc/`** — small C supporter tool, peer of pql. Spawns a PTY + child and hands the master fd back over `SCM_RIGHTS`. Clide shells out to it for every pane (shell, tmux, claude, LSP, debug adapter).
tmux owns Claude session persistence (D-41) — the app re-attaches on restart via `tmux new-session -A`. Native rendering — markdown, canvas, graph — is Dart/Flutter (`CustomPaint` + widgets), not third-party packages.

These are load-bearing. Violating any means the design is wrong, not the rule.
- **Flutter desktop is the host. No Electron, ever.** Web target may work as a happy accident — don't compromise desktop fidelity for it. If we ship a web build at all, prefer Flutter's **WebAssembly (CanvasKit/Skwasm) compile** over the JS/HTML renderer. `xterm.dart` is the terminal renderer; markdown, canvas, graph are custom `CustomPaint`/widget components.

- **CLI-first, not MCP.** Claude talks via Bash (`clide ...`), matching pql's contract. See [`D-1`](decisions/architecture.md#d-1-cli-first-not-mcp).
- **Dart is the core; native supporter tools fill specific gaps.** `ptyc` (C) for PTY spawning. `pql` (Go) for queries. No second "core language." See [`D-5`](decisions/architecture.md#d-5-dart-core-sidecar-dissolved-ptyc-as-pql-peer) (amended by D-56).
- **Own the rendering stack.** PTY (via `ptyc`), markdown renderer, graph, canvas — all clide-owned, not pulled from opinionated packages.
- **Dart is the core; pql fills the query gap.** PTY spawning is native Dart FFI (`forkpty`). `pql` (Go) handles vault queries. No second "core language." See [`D-5`](decisions/architecture.md#d-5-dart-core-sidecar-dissolved-ptyc-as-pql-peer) (amended by D-56).

- **User/Claude parity.** Every CLI subcommand has a UI affordance, and every UI action has a CLI. See [`D-6`](decisions/architecture.md#d-6-cli-and-event-surface-contract).
- **pql: wrap, don't duplicate.** Pql logic only lives in `lib/src/pql/` (pure shell-outs). Clide owns pql's `ignore_files:` config key; it never touches pql's `.pql/` index/cache data. See [`D-3`](decisions/architecture.md#d-3-pql-as-supporter-tool-clide-wraps-never-duplicates).
- **Repo-is-the-workspace.** The git repo root is the workspace — no parallel "vault" concept.
