Original PR: #2676 by @lucasrc
Adds POST /api/skills/toggle endpoint that flips skills.disabled in
config.yaml, and a UI toggle in the Skills panel that shows all skills
(including disabled ones) with a per-skill on/off control.
- Backend: new endpoint validates skill exists in filesystem before
toggling. Read-modify-write wrapped in _cfg_lock for thread safety.
Writes through to platform_disabled.webui when present.
- Frontend: each skill-item now has a toggle switch; disabled skills
appear muted but still listed (previously they were filtered out).
- i18n: new toggle keys translated across all 9 non-English locales.
- Tests: round-trip test for disabled list normalization + toggle
endpoint behavior.

Per deep-review verdict SHIP-WITH-FIXES on PR #2636:
1. Profile-switch reconciliation: _refreshProfileSwitchBackground now re-fetches
/api/settings and re-applies hidden_tabs for the new profile. Without this,
Profile A's hidden-tabs choice stayed in effect under Profile B until the
user opened Settings → Appearance.
2. A11y: switched chips from role=button + aria-pressed to role=switch +
aria-checked. The pressed/not-pressed wording confused screen-reader users
because chip-off looks like the off state. Added role=group +
aria-labelledby on the container, and a :focus-visible style on the chips.
3. Server-side belt-and-suspenders: api/config.py now strips 'chat' and
'settings' from hidden_tabs at validation time, matching the client's apply-
time filter. A tampered POST can no longer persist the forbidden values.
3 new regression tests added (chat/settings rejection, profile-switch wiring,
chip a11y attributes).

Three tweaks from reviewer:
1. Harden _applyTabVisibility to skip always-visible panels even if
they appear in hidden_tabs (localStorage tampering, stale server
data). Forces shouldHide=false so stale nav-tab-hidden classes
on chat/settings get removed, not just skipped.
2. Add synchronous inline <script> flash-prevention after sidebar-nav
in index.html. On slow networks, defer scripts run after the
browser incrementally renders the DOM, causing hidden tabs to
flash visible before JS executes. The inline script reads
hermes-webui-hidden-tabs from localStorage and applies
nav-tab-hidden classes before first paint, mirroring the existing
theme/skin/font-size pattern. The boot.js IIFE becomes a secondary
fallback (comment updated).
3. Remove _settingsHiddenTabsOnOpen dead state. It was tracked but
never read for revert — _revertSettingsPreview is intentionally
a no-op for appearance autosave. Removing the tracking makes
the code honest about what it actually does. Also removes the
test_settings_session_tracking test that validated this dead code.
The Settings → Plugins panel keyed off `loaded.enabled` and the four
agentic visibility hooks, both of which are False/empty for exclusive
plugins (memory.provider, model-provider, etc.). Those plugins were
mislabeled as "Disabled" with "No registered lifecycle hooks" even when
fully functional as the active provider for their category.
Surface `manifest.kind` and a derived `activation` field
("enabled" | "disabled" | "exclusive" | "provider") in /api/plugins.
The card render picks a third badge state ("Active (provider)") and a
dedicated empty-hooks line for those rows. `enabled` is preserved in
the payload so older clients still work; new clients should prefer
`activation`.
Fixes#2659
