Plugin discovery may find multiple packages that declare the same capability. Resolution must choose the canonical owner before activation.

Rules:

• single-owner capabilities, including channel capabilities such as feishu, must resolve to at most one active owner
• discovery code must not treat a found package as automatically active
• bundled and external package ownership decisions must be explicit and covered by migration tests when changed
• losing owners must be removed, disabled, or marked inactive according to the runtime's loading behavior
• business configuration, such as channel account credentials and bindings, must be preserved while plugin ownership is migrated
