Apple Foundation Models from a Capacitor iOS app (iOS 27): what the plugins cover, PCC's gating, and the real context size

Capacitor's on-device LLM plugins (@capacitor/local-llm, @capawesome-team/capacitor-llm, @capgo/capacitor-llm) wrap only SystemLanguageModel prompting; none expose PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel, and App Intents can't be a plugin at all. PCC is free only for Small Business Program developers under 2M lifetime first-time downloads across ALL their apps, with no paid tier. On-device contextSize is 4096 on iOS 26 and 8192 on iOS 27 newer devices, though Apple's PCC doc table still says 4K.
