Closes #5864 Adds a local, offline-first advisory check that warns when an incoming plugin or skill name closely resembles a bundled or already-installed name (e.g. github-pr vs. legitimate git-pr), closing the parity gap with IronClaw's Community Scanner. - ReputationSource trait with a LocalTyposquatCheck implementation (hand-rolled Levenshtein similarity, no new dependency), pluggable for a future external reputation source (US-003) - Wired into all three plugin install entry points: PluginManager::add, the --plugin-url ephemeral path, and the auto-update apply path, so no entry point silently bypasses the check - New [plugins.reputation] config section (enabled, similarity_threshold, min_name_len, enforcement=warn|block), CLI --strict-reputation flag, --init wizard prompt, and a config migration step - Advisory by default (surfaces a warning, does not block); enforcement = block returns PluginError::ReputationBlocked before any files are written - Promotes the feature's spec into the canonical /specs/079-plugins/spec.md (was drafted at .local/specs/043-plugin-install-reputation-scanning/spec.md during design, per CLAUDE.md's mandatory spec registration rule)
