Add ~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/go/bin, ~/.npm-global/bin to the systemd unit PATH so tools installed via uv/pipx/cargo/go are discoverable by MCP servers and terminal commands. Uses a _build_user_local_paths() helper that checks exists() before adding, and correctly resolves home dir for both user and system service types.

Port PR #3527's systemd fix to launchd (macOS): generate_launchd_plist() now calls _build_user_local_paths() so ~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/go/bin, and ~/.npm-global/bin are always reachable, not just whatever happened to be in the captured shell PATH at install time. Fixes uv/uvx MCP servers being unreachable under the launchd-managed gateway. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Consolidation of 4 duplicate PRs that all fix the same issue: systemd unit PATH missing user-local binary directories.
Problem: The generated systemd unit only includes venv, node_modules, and system bin paths. Tools installed via
uv,pipx,cargo,go, etc. at~/.local/bin,~/.cargo/bin, etc. aren't discoverable, breaking MCP servers and terminal commands.Fix: Adds
_build_user_local_paths()helper that discovers existing user-local bin dirs (~/.local/bin,~/.cargo/bin,~/go/bin,~/.npm-global/bin) and includes them in PATH. Correctly handles both user and system service home directories.Attribution: Best implementation structure from @ksze (#3357), tests from @kagura-agent (#3358), all 4 contributors credited.
Closes #3357, closes #3358, closes #3330, closes #3328.
