Unexpected but useful details

• Uses patched Adobe devtools packages (@adobe-fixed-uxp/*) and wraps the Vulcan handshake needed to load/debug a plugin.
• Returns a teardown function that unloads the plugin and terminates the native DevTools helper, which prevents hanging processes.
• Ships with a fake-plugin folder used by tools that need a valid UXP target even when you do not have a plugin project ready.
