v0.4.0: Emacs bridge — passepartout.el (TCP framed protocol)

RED: extras/passepartout.el did not exist — no Emacs integration.

GREEN: Emacs bridge verified:
- elisp compiles cleanly (byte-compile-file exit 0)
- TCP connection to daemon on port 9105 succeeds
- Framed protocol receive: 6-char hex header + payload parsed correctly
- Handshake verified: (:TYPE :EVENT :PAYLOAD (:ACTION :HANDSHAKE
  :VERSION 0.3.0 :CAPABILITIES (:AUTH :ORG-AST)))
- Framed message send works (user-input transmitted)

Usage:
  M-x passepartout            — connect, open response buffer
  M-x passepartout-send-region — send selected region as user-input
  M-x passepartout-send-buffer — send entire buffer
  M-x passepartout-disconnect  — close connection

Features:
- passepartout--filter: buffers partial TCP data, extracts complete
  framed messages (handles chunk boundaries)
- passepartout--handle-message: renders agent text as Org headlines
  with timestamps, gate-trace as property drawers
- passepartout--sentinel: handles connection loss gracefully
- passepartout-response-mode: derived from special-mode, read-only

Protocol ported from core-communication.org: 6-char hex length +
prin1'd plist. Identical to TUI and CLI — daemon treats all
clients uniformly.

+;;; passepartout.el --- Emacs bridge for Passepartout AI assistant  -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
+
+;; Author: Passepartout Project
+;; Version: 0.4.0
+;; Keywords: tools, processes, lisp
+;; URL: https://github.com/amrgharbeia/passepartout
+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Connects to the Passepartout daemon on localhost:9105 via TCP.
+;; Speaks the framed plist protocol — 6-character hex length prefix
+;; followed by a prin1'd S-expression — identical to the TUI and CLI.
+;; The daemon does not know or care whether the client is the Croatoan
+;; TUI, the CLI, or Emacs.
+
+;; Framed protocol (per core-communication.org):
+;;   SEND: 6-char hex length + prin1'd plist
+;;   RECV: read 6-char header → parse hex length → read N bytes →
+;;         read-from-string (with read-eval nil on daemon side)
+
+;; Usage:
+;;   M-x passepartout RET        — connect to daemon, open response buffer
+;;   M-x passepartout-send-region — send selected region as user-input
+;;   M-x passepartout-send-buffer — send entire buffer
+;;   M-x passepartout-disconnect  — close connection
