Parent: #1
Depends on: #4

Goal

Expose Nyxt Guard as a Nyxt minor mode so blocking can be enabled or disabled cleanly without restarting the browser.

Scope

Define a nyxt-guard-mode (name may follow local Nyxt conventions) backed by the adapter from #4.
Support global default state plus per-buffer enable/disable.
Allow per-site exceptions without mutating filter lists.
Make mode state visible from Nyxt UI/status surfaces.
Ensure toggling the mode installs/removes or gates hooks deterministically and does not leave duplicate handlers behind.
Persist user-selected default behavior through the normal configuration layer.

Acceptance criteria

The mode can be toggled interactively at runtime.
New buffers inherit the configured default.
Per-buffer/site disable works without changing global list state.
Repeated enable/disable cycles do not duplicate hooks or leak state.
Mode state is queryable programmatically for future commands/UI integrations.
