Subject: [PATCH] Fix: guard load_plugins() so helper files without a default
 export don't crash tool init

selection_actions.js uses named exports only (no default export).
load_plugins() was calling new classObj.default(ctx) on every file in tools/,
causing TypeError which aborted render_main_tools() -> render_main_gui() ->
leaving menu and toolbar blank. Added null guard and per-file try/catch,
matching the defensive pattern already added to load_modules().
