feat(ecosystem): implement cross-app embedding protocol (TASK-46)

Add ecosystem manifest protocol, EcosystemBridge class, server proxy
routes, port/event integration for folk-rapp, sandboxed iframe mode
with origin-validated postMessage, and SW caching for ecosystem modules.

Security: no allow-same-origin on sandboxed iframes, redirect: error
on proxy fetches, origin validation on all postMessage handlers.

 ## Implementation Notes

 ## Status check 2026-03-11
 folk-rapp shape, postMessage bridge, module switcher, toolbar rApps section all committed. AC #6 and #7 working. Remaining: manifest protocol spec (AC #1), EcosystemBridge class (AC #2), trusted CRDT sharing (AC #3), sandboxed iframe postMessage (AC #4), server manifest proxy (AC #5), SW caching (AC #8). Depends on TASK-41 (shape registry) and TASK-42 (data pipes).
+
+## Assessment 2026-03-11 (detailed code review)
+
+### AC #1 — Ecosystem manifest protocol defined and documented: NOT DONE
+No `/.well-known/rspace-manifest.json` file, schema, or protocol documentation exists anywhere in the codebase. The only reference is in this task's description. The `MODULE_META` hardcoded record in `lib/folk-rapp.ts:19-44` serves as a static stand-in, but it is not a discoverable manifest protocol — it is baked into the folk-rapp component.
+
+### AC #2 — EcosystemBridge loads manifests and dynamic imports modules: NOT DONE
+No `lib/ecosystem-bridge.ts` file exists. No `EcosystemBridge` class anywhere. The `folk-rapp` component (`lib/folk-rapp.ts`) uses same-origin iframe embedding (line 845-873) and a hardcoded `MODULE_META` lookup (line 19-44) instead of dynamic manifest loading + `import()`. No dynamic import logic for external ecosystem modules.
+
+### AC #3 — Trusted Web Components share CRDT and port/event system: PARTIALLY DONE
+- **Port system**: `folk-rapp` does NOT implement `portDescriptors`, `getPort()`, `setPortValue()`, or `onEventReceived()`. It does not participate in the typed data pipe system from `lib/data-types.ts` / `lib/folk-arrow.ts`.
+- **Event bus**: `folk-rapp` does not subscribe to `CanvasEventBus` channels.
+- **CRDT sharing**: The `community-sync.ts` `#postMessageToParent()` (line 1281-1297) broadcasts `shape-updated` events to parent frames, and `folk-rapp` receives them via `#handleMessage()` (line 722-750). This is a one-way data bridge (iframe -> parent) via postMessage — NOT direct CRDT sharing.
+- **Verdict**: The postMessage bridge works for shape update forwarding, but there is no direct CRDT doc sharing, no port/event participation. NOT DONE per the AC's intent of "shares CRDT and port/event system".
+
+### AC #4 — Sandboxed iframe mode works with postMessage bridge: PARTIALLY DONE
+- `folk-rapp` has a working postMessage protocol (lines 12-16 doc comment):
+  - Parent -> iframe: `{ source: 'rspace-parent', type: 'context', shapeId, space, moduleId }` (line 756)
+  - iframe -> parent: `{ source: 'rspace-canvas', type: 'shape-updated' }` (line 733)
+  - iframe -> parent: `{ source: 'rspace-rapp', type: 'navigate', moduleId }` (line 747)
+- However, this is same-origin iframe embedding of internal rApps only. There is no sandbox attribute, no origin validation (uses `'*'` for postMessage target), and no structured API bridge for untrusted third-party apps. The AC envisions a security-conscious sandboxed mode for untrusted ecosystem apps — that does not exist yet.
+- **Verdict**: Basic postMessage works for internal rApps. The sandboxed-for-untrusted-apps mode is NOT DONE.
+
+### AC #5 — Server proxy avoids CORS for manifest/module loading: NOT DONE
+No `/api/ecosystem/:appId/manifest` route exists in `server/index.ts`. No proxy endpoint for fetching external ecosystem manifests. The `server/landing-proxy.ts` `buildEcosystemMap()` function (line 124) is for rewriting standalone domain links in landing pages, not for proxying manifests.
+
+### AC #8 — Service Worker caches ecosystem modules for offline: PARTIALLY DONE
+- `website/sw.ts` has a `PrecacheManifest` system (lines 18-23) that caches `core` and `modules` arrays from `/precache-manifest.json`.
+- The activate handler lazy-caches module bundles (lines 64-96).
+- `vite.config.ts` generates the precache manifest at build time (line 1172-1183).
+- However, this caches the built-in rSpace module bundles (Vite output), NOT external ecosystem module URLs loaded at runtime. There is no mechanism to dynamically add ecosystem module URLs to the SW cache.
+- **Verdict**: SW caching infrastructure exists for internal modules. Ecosystem-specific module caching is NOT DONE.
+
+## Implementation 2026-03-12
+
+### Files created:
+- `shared/ecosystem-manifest.ts` — TypeScript types for the ecosystem manifest protocol (EcosystemManifest, EcosystemShapeDescriptor, EventDescriptor, ResolvedManifest, ECOSYSTEM_PROTOCOL_VERSION)
+- `lib/ecosystem-bridge.ts` — EcosystemBridge class (singleton) with loadManifest(), loadModule(), registerShapes(), createSandboxedEmbed(), SW cache notification, origin-validated postMessage handling
+
+### Files modified:
+- `server/index.ts` — Added /.well-known/rspace-manifest.json (self-manifest), GET /api/ecosystem/:appId/manifest (proxy with cache), GET /api/ecosystem/:appId/module (JS proxy)
+- `lib/folk-rapp.ts` — Added portDescriptors (data-in, data-out, trigger-in, trigger-out), initPorts(), onEventReceived(), sandbox attribute on iframe, origin-validated postMessage (AC#3+#4), forward port-value-changed to iframe, handle ecosystem-embed messages
+- `website/sw.ts` — Added ECOSYSTEM_CACHE, message handler for cache-ecosystem-module and clear-ecosystem-cache, preserved ecosystem cache during version cleanup
+
+### Summary of remaining work:
+| AC | Status | Blocking? |
+|----|--------|----------|
+| #1 Manifest protocol | Not done | Yes — foundation for #2, #5 |
+| #2 EcosystemBridge | Not done | Yes — core feature |
+| #3 CRDT + port/event sharing | Not done | Depends on #2 |
+| #4 Sandboxed iframe | Partial (internal postMessage works) | Needs security hardening |
+| #5 Server proxy | Not done | Depends on #1 |
+| #8 SW caching | Partial (infra exists, not ecosystem-aware) | Depends on #2 |
