Shell 1.10.0: a packaged ProdDash carries no modules

The macOS app and the Windows bundle shipped every module in the repo, on
by default, and a shell update silently added whatever new module had
landed on main — Band Lineup appeared on AB that way. A module was also
only as fresh as the last shell update. Now a packaged install (no .git —
the same test the updater uses to choose the archive over git pull)
carries no modules at all: every one arrives from the admin page's catalog
into the data directory, and the shell's own update never writes modules/.
A git checkout keeps running the modules in its tree.

Existing installs move over by themselves: at the first start, the bundled
modules that are switched on are copied into the data directory as
installed copies (a compiled helper keeps its mode), an uninstalled one is
dropped, and the app folder's modules/ is removed. Settings are keyed by
module id, so nothing changes for the operator.

Around it: the dashboard's empty state says "No modules yet — open Admin"
when the registry is empty; the admin page says "Nothing installed yet",
puts a checkbox on every compatible catalog entry and an Install selected
button (POST /api/admin/modules/install {ids}) that fetches them in one go.
The Mac build stops copying modules/ and no longer compiles or signs Swift
helpers — those ship prebuilt inside a module, per the guide.

tools/unbundled.test.js drives a packaged copy of the shell through the
move, an archive update that must not bring modules back, and a multi-install.
