feat(privacy-host): add signed native calendar contacts and reminders host

Add the owner-only AF_UNIX Reyna CLI privacy host, strict signed-app installation, and typed native routing for Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders.\n\nAdd bounded system-status paths and config-only direct local-service wrappers. Preserve MacMiniMCP pending explicit cutover approval.\n\nApple Notes is intentionally deferred: no native Notes operations, Apple Events declaration, or Automation helper are included; legacy Notes handling remains untouched.

+# MacMiniMCP → Reyna CLI Coverage Matrix
+
+_Status: 2026-08-03. This document records the current owned boundary; it does not authorize retirement of MacMiniMCP._
+
+## Completed native privacy-host capabilities
+
+- **Calendar** — native EventKit through the signed Reyna CLI host. Authorization is explicit; normal reads do not prompt.
+- **Contacts** — native Contacts framework through the signed host. Authorization is explicit; normal reads do not prompt.
+- **Reminders** — native EventKit Reminders through the signed host. Authorization is explicit; list/list-item calls are read-only; creation requires an explicit writable list.
+- **System status** — bounded, whitelisted native status paths only.
+
+The host remains owner-only AF_UNIX IPC. It does not expose TCP or a LAN service.
+
+## Direct local-service ownership (no MacMiniMCP)
+
+- Speech / Kokoro / Voicebox / image / Apple-LLM wrappers are configuration and offline-status paths only. They do not change service lifecycle, synthesize audio, perform network work, or disclose configuration-sensitive values merely for status.
+- Deco retains its direct client path.
+
+## Deliberately deferred
+
+| Integration | Status | Boundary |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Apple Notes** | **Deferred — legacy untouched** | Reyna CLI has no Apple Notes capability, no Apple Events usage declaration, no AppKit Automation helper, and will not request Notes permission. Legacy MacMiniMCP Notes/JXA handling remains unchanged and is not part of this consolidation. |
+| Apple Mail | Deferred / out of scope | Legacy Apple Mail automation remains unchanged; separate Thunderbird-local support is not a privacy-host migration. |
+| SpeechTranscriber live/file flows | Separate local service | Not part of the native privacy host. |
+| Codex/Gemini image generation | Out of scope | Creative/external-service work, not privacy-host scope. |
+
+## Cutover rule
+
+MacMiniMCP remains active. It may be retired only after a live caller inventory and validation matrix establish full replacement coverage and the owner explicitly approves cutover.

+ Trust boundary for socket parent-chain validation – tiered model:
+
+ Tiers (evaluated per existing component, fail-closed on lstat errors):
+
+ 1) Platform-trusted ancestors – explicit allowlist ONLY:
+     "/", "/Users", "/private", "/var", "/tmp",
+     "/private/tmp", "/var/tmp", "/private/var", "/private/var/tmp"
+     Hard-coded in `platformTrustedRootPaths`.
+     - lstat non-symlink dir (except /var and /tmp which are known macOS symlinks and allowed as symlink)
+     - uid 0
+     - non-tmp platform paths ("/", "/Users", "/private", "/private/var"): no group/other write (mode & 022 == 0), 0755 allowed
+     - tmp platform paths ("/private/tmp", "/var/tmp", "/private/var/tmp", plus "/tmp","/var" as dirs): uid 0 only, may be 1777 sticky
+
+ 2) User-owned intermediate ancestors (e.g. $HOME = /Users/<user>, ~/Library, ~/Library/Application Support, ...):
+     - not a symlink
+     - a directory
+     - owned by current uid (getuid())
+     - no group/other *write* (mode & 022 == 0)
+       -> allows 0700, 0750, 0755 (standard macOS home is 0750 = rwxr-x---) but rejects 0770/0777 or any writable bit
+       Reason: home 0750 is default on some installs; privacy is still enforced by tier 3.
+
+ 3) Dedicated runtime socket parent – the immediate parent dir of the socket (e.g. .../reyna-cli/privacy):
+     - not a symlink
+     - a directory
+     - owned by current uid
+     - strictly no group/other bits at all (mode & 077 == 0) => 0700 family only, rejects 0750/0755
+       + socket file itself must be 0600 (enforced in SocketServer bind/chmod)
+
+ - Never trust arbitrary root-owned intermediate paths outside explicit allowlist.
+
+ This is the fix for: home 0750 was incorrectly rejected (validator required 0700 for all user components),
+ causing "Refusing socket path: parent component /Users/<user> has group/other permissions: 750".
+ Now tier 2 allows 0750 for home/intermediates, tier 3 keeps 0700 for the privacy dir.
