The managed runner is de-privileged on Windows now (runs as LocalService),
and %ProgramData%\punktfunk is locked read-only to it — so writing config/
cache straight under the config dir fails EPERM (proven on-glass). Move the
plugin's state to <config_dir>/plugin-state/rom-manager, which
`punktfunk-host plugins enable` grants the runner write on. On Linux the
runner owns the config dir, so the path is writable there too — one path, no
branch.
Migrate a pre-0.2.1 config/cache from the old <config_dir>/rom-manager on
first load (copy, guarded, best-effort) so an existing operator's roots +
launch templates survive the move instead of silently resetting to defaults.

A punktfunk-plugin-* package that scans ROM directories, maps them to
emulators, fetches box art, and reconciles them into the host game library
under provider id `rom-manager` — with a console-hosted web UI.
Engine (pure, unit-tested core):
- Table-driven platform registry (~25 consoles) + emulator registry with
best-effort per-OS detection (PATH / Flatpak / known paths) and RetroArch
core discovery.
- Scanner with disc folding (m3u/cue/gdi), archive gating, excludes.
- No-Intro title parsing + optional per-platform region dedupe.
- Security-critical quoting seam: POSIX single-quote + Windows double-quote
with hostile-name refusal; ROM filenames never reach a shell un-quoted.
- Pure desired-state reconcile (stable external_ids, scale guard, fingerprint
skip) → full-replace PUT /library/provider/rom-manager.
Box art (like Steam ROM Manager): SteamGridDB primary (portrait/hero/logo/
header, fuzzy match, operator API key) behind a provider seam, with keyless
libretro-thumbnails as the zero-setup fallback (`auto` default).
UI: console-hosted via the SDK `servePluginUi` (zero plugin-side auth) with a
plugin-local REST/SSE API and a self-contained React SPA (Setup / Emulators /
Games / Sync). Standalone password-gated fallback for host-only installs.
CLI: scan / detect / preview / sync / uninstall / set-password.
48 engine tests, typecheck + biome clean, SPA builds. Verified end-to-end:
scan → detect → reconcile PUT, fingerprint idempotence, and the standalone
UI serving SPA + REST.
