CI / Catalog signature (pull_request) Successful in 7s

Adds the user-facing half of the server catalog: a searchable, signed
catalog browser wired to the existing paste/import path.

bcc_core.py (pure, GUI-free, per the design comment on #10):
- CATALOG_CATEGORY_GROUPS / catalog_category_group(): collapses the
  raw taxonomy to the 7 UI chips (unknown categories fall back to
  Other, never drop an entry).
- catalog_entry_matches_query() / filter_catalog_entries() /
  catalog_entries_in_group(): search-as-you-type + category chip
  filtering over catalog entries.
- format_freshness_hint(): last_release ISO date -> "Last updated N
  months/years ago", '' when missing/unparseable/future.
- first_unfilled_focus_target(): finds the first <PLACEHOLDER> arg or
  blank env_required key so the GUI can focus it after Add.
- load_bundled_catalog_entries(): reads+verifies+validates the
  bundled catalog.json/.sig pair, returns servers or an EMPTY list on
  ANY failure -- the load-bearing guarantee behind the dialog's empty
  state.
- Bug fix: catalog_entry_to_paste_json() only copied config.env,
  ignoring env_required -- the field where 9 of the 19 seed entries
  (postgres, github, notion, obsidian, brave-search, tavily,
  home-assistant, n8n, grafana) actually declare their secret var
  names. Add would have silently added these servers with no env
  field for the user to fill in. Now env_required keys are seeded as
  empty-string placeholders unless config.env already sets them.

bcc.py:
- BrowseCatalogDialog: search box, category chips, list, detail pane
  (description/notes/homepage/freshness hint/verbatim command
  preview), per-tier action (Add for basic, Open setup docs for
  link-only). Every catalog-derived string goes through plain_label()
  (Qt.PlainText + html.escape, matching catalog_console.py's
  approach) or an inherently-plain QPlainTextEdit for the command
  preview -- catalog.json takes community PRs, so every field is
  attacker-influenceable.
- "Browse catalog…" button next to Paste JSON.
- ServerEditor.focus_target(): selects the first unfilled arg line or
  opens the env-table cell editor for the first blank env row.
- Save-time placeholder guard: warns (Yes/No, defaults No) when any
  server still has an unfilled <PLACEHOLDER>; never blocks a
  deliberate save, never saves one unnoticed.

bcc.spec: bundle data/catalog.json.sig alongside catalog.json -- the
signature file was missing from datas, so a frozen build would have
had a catalog.json with no matching .sig for resolve_catalog() to
verify against.

tests/test_core.py: +82 tests covering category-group mapping,
catalog search/filter, freshness-hint formatting (including the
month/year rounding boundary), first_unfilled_focus_target, the
catalog_entry_to_paste_json env_required fix (incl. a regression
against the real shipped postgres entry), and
load_bundled_catalog_entries under valid/tampered/wrong-key/missing-
file/invalid-but-signed conditions plus an end-to-end check against
the real data/catalog.json + .sig (19 entries).

GUI code (BrowseCatalogDialog, ServerEditor.focus_target,
MainWindow.browse_catalog) is unavoidably untested here -- PySide6
cannot import in this sandbox (missing libEGL/system GL libs) -- but
all the logic it depends on is pushed into bcc_core.py and covered
above.

`env` is seeded from two sources: config.env (rare -- e.g. grafana's
non-secret GRAFANA_URL) and, for every key in `env_required` not already
present, an empty-string placeholder. env_required is where the seed
data actually keeps its secret VAR NAMES (validate_catalog requires its
values to be "" -- never a real secret); config.env alone, without this,
would silently drop those names on Add for the 9 of 19 seed entries that
need a secret and only declare it via env_required -- the user would
see a server added with no field prompting them for the key it needs.
