Released remote servers crash while loading the plugin catalog #456

Problem

Akeru Bot v0.2.1 installed outside the source tree crashes with Error: Akeru plugin catalog directory is unavailable. The server package ships only dist, while the loader looks for repository or desktop resources. Main has the same defect.

Goal

Every server distribution includes and loads the plugin catalog, preserving source-tree and desktop loading.

Acceptance criteria

• Released server includes the catalog and starts outside the repo.
• Source-tree and desktop layouts continue to load.
• Focused regression coverage fails before the fix and passes afterward.
• A built and packed package installed into a temporary prefix starts serve with isolated home and lists plugins.
• The remote installer archive includes the catalog.

How to verify

Build and pack akeru-bot, install outside the repository, start serve on a free port with a temporary home, request its plugin catalog, and inspect the remote archive produced by scripts/package-remote.ts.
