Implement the frontend runtime and SDK service surface so a plugin menu command can open a new window rendering one of its declared layout contributions. Scope: route plugin window surfaces through the existing view-window host, reuse plugin layout rendering/fallback behavior, and expose a public `services.windows.open(...)` API validated against declared layout ids.
