The HTML starter never passes `plugins` to `loadContent`

Found by WORK-634 (#695).

packages/create-refrakt/template-html/build.ts calls loadContent without the plugins option. Its own comment (around line 127) says plugins should be passed through, matching the option shape createRefraktLoader uses for the Vite-based adapters. As a result:

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-refrakt my-site --template html, and add a plugin with pipeline hooks (e.g. @refrakt-md/storytelling) to refrakt.config.json.
Write two pages, one with a {% character %} and one with a {% bond %} naming it.
Build.

Expected

The bond's edge is registered, the same as in the SvelteKit adapter.

Actual

No registrations. Plugin hooks never ran.

Fix

Load the configured plugins and pass them to loadContent, as the other adapters do. Cover it with a scaffold test that asserts a plugin hook ran.

What was done

packages/create-refrakt/template-html/build.ts: keeps merged.plugins from mergePlugins and passes plugins, projectRoot and siteConfig to loadContent, as createRefraktLoader does.
packages/create-refrakt/test/scaffold-builds.test.ts: scaffolds the HTML starter inside the repo (so @refrakt-md/* resolve), adds @refrakt-md/storytelling, a character page and a page that bolds its name, runs the real build.ts (types stripped with esbuild), and asserts the storytelling postProcess hook turned the mention into a link in the built HTML. Fails without the fix.

Notes

projectRoot/siteConfig were added for parity with the other adapters: siteConfig carries entityRoutes and validation settings.
