What
The context passed to tools now carries a way to re-apply plugins without installing anything staged, and a way to rewrite the permission context so additional directories that no longer apply are dropped. The latter is the counterpart to the directory re-homing done on set_cwd.
Details
Also in this refactor: the background-pending reference became a gesture object with clearPending() and pending; the input reference became a draft with .value; and message and event application moved into the REPL query class.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
