test: remove real-plugin frontend integration spec

Covers:
- Propose CRUD: create, view, edit, list
- Propose lifecycle: accept (with milestone selection), reject, reopen
- Edit restrictions: button hidden for accepted/rejected proposes
- Permissions: create disabled without project selection

4 test suites, 5 test cases for propose management.
