sayan-oai 9f2da5a9ce chore: clarify plugin + app copy in model instructions (#14541)
- clarify app mentions are in user messages
- clarify what it means for tools to be provided via `codex_apps` MCP
- add plugin descriptions (with basic sanitization) to top-level `##
Plugins` section alongside the corresponding plugin names
- explain that skills from plugins are prefixed with `plugin_name:` in
top-level `##Plugins` section

changes to more logically organize `Apps`, `Skills`, and `Plugins`
instructions will be in a separate PR, as that shuffles dev + user
instructions in ways that change tests broadly.

### Tests
confirmed in local rollout, some new tests.

- Trigger rules: If the user explicitly names a plugin, prefer capabilities associated with that plugin for that turn.
- Relationship to capabilities: Plugins are not invoked directly. Use their underlying skills, MCP tools, and app tools to help solve the task.
- Preference: When a relevant plugin is available, prefer using capabilities associated with that plugin over standalone capabilities that provide similar functionality.
- Missing/blocked: If the user requests a plugin that is not listed above, or the plugin does not have relevant callable capabilities for the task, say so briefly and continue with the best fallback."###
