Subject: [PATCH] Default desktop text files to Writer

Set LibreOffice Writer as the Desktop MIME default for Markdown and plain text while keeping Agent Zero Editor as the secondary Open With association.

Update the Desktop DOX contract and extend the routing regression test to pin the Writer-first association order.

 - Keep desktop state injected into prompts accurate and bounded.
 - Do not expose desktop routes without the expected auth protections.
 - Keep Desktop host visibility tied to an attached modal or canvas host; modal cleanup may preserve the iframe in keepalive, but must not leave stale modal mode behind.
-- Keep Markdown and plain text file open-with handling routed to the Editor surface through the desktop intent bridge; Desktop owns the Xfce launcher/MIME setup, while Editor owns `.md` and `.txt` editing.
+- Keep LibreOffice Writer as the default handler for Markdown and plain text files; keep Agent Zero Editor available as a secondary Open With target through the desktop intent bridge.
