2.3 Startup vs reload asymmetry (FramesRegistry)

FramesRegistry validates strictly on construction (fail-fast at startup) and
leniently on hot-reload (skip invalid frames with a warning, keep valid ones
serving). Exposes TryGetByName/TryGetByMac over the current valid set.

 - On startup: throw on any invalid frame (fail-fast).
 - On `OnChange`: log warning, skip invalid frame, keep valid ones serving (`PLAN.md` line 130, `CLAUDE.md` "frames.json reload asymmetry").
 - Add a `FramesRegistry` service that exposes `TryGetByName(FrameName)` / `TryGetByMac(MacAddress)` over the current valid set.
