Added comment to clarify that connection state updates happen via
event handlers. Auto-connect now properly handles failures without
retrying automatically, allowing users to manually connect if needed.
The naoqi_bridge_msgs/BatteryState message type doesn't exist in the
NAO6 ROS2 package, causing subscription errors. Removed the battery
topic subscription for now. Battery info can be obtained through
diagnostics or other means if needed in the future.

- Remove global experiments and plugins routes; redirect to study-scoped
pages
- Update sidebar navigation to separate platform-level and study-level
items
- Add study filter to dashboard and stats queries

breadcrumbs
- Update documentation for new route architecture and migration guide
- Remove duplicate experiment creation route
- Upgrade Next.js to 15.5.4 in package.json and bun.lock
Removed global participants, trials, and analytics routes. All entity
management now flows through study-specific routes. Updated navigation,
breadcrumbs, and forms. Added helpful redirect pages for moved routes.
Eliminated duplicate table components and unified navigation patterns.
Fixed dashboard route structure and layout inheritance.

TypeScript typing throughout
• Fix plugin store installation state detection - Add getStudyPlugins
API integration to check installed plugins - Update PluginCard component
with isInstalled prop and correct button states - Fix repository name
display using metadata.repositoryId mapping - Show "Installed"
