feat(mosaic): IUV-M02 — CORS/FQDN UX polish + skill installer rework (#437)

IUV-02-01: Replace raw CORS origin prompt with a friendly hostname input
- Add `deriveCorsOrigin(hostname, webUiPort, useHttps?)` pure function
- Prompt asks "Web UI hostname" (default: localhost) instead of "CORS origin"
- Auto-detects http vs https: localhost/127.0.0.1 always http, remote defaults to https
- For remote hosts, asks "Is HTTPS enabled?" (defaults to yes)
- Headless: MOSAIC_HOSTNAME env var as friendly alternative to MOSAIC_CORS_ORIGIN
- GatewayState gains optional `hostname` field to track the raw input
- Fallback paths now read GATEWAY_CORS_ORIGIN from .env instead of hardcoding

IUV-02-02: Diagnose skill installer failure modes (documented in PR body)
- Selection → installation gap: syncSkills() ignored state.selectedSkills entirely
- Silent failure: missing catalog directory had no user-visible error
- No per-skill granularity: all-or-nothing rsync with no whitelist concept

IUV-02-03: Rework skill installer end-to-end
- syncSkills() now accepts selectedSkills[] and passes MOSAIC_INSTALL_SKILLS
  (colon-separated) to the bash script
- Script filters linking to only the whitelisted skills when MOSAIC_INSTALL_SKILLS is set
- Missing script surfaced clearly instead of silently swallowed
- Non-zero exit captured from stderr and shown to the user
- Post-install summary reports "N installed" or failure reason

IUV-02-04: Tests + gates
- 13 unit tests for deriveCorsOrigin covering localhost, remote, https override
- 5 integration tests for finalize skill installer (selection, skip, failure, missing script)
- pnpm typecheck + lint + format:check all green
- 237 tests passing (26 test files)
