Today the only way to get a doc into the system is Upload. There is no path to create a blank doc inside the host UI. OnlyOffice ships templates at /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/document-templates/new/en-US/new.{docx,xlsx,pptx,pdf} — we used these to seed test files this session.

Acceptance

A New button next to Upload in FileListView.
Clicking opens a small inline form for filename, defaulting to Untitled-<DocType-label>.<ext>.
A new RPC method on hero_office_server (e.g. create_blank_document) copies the appropriate template into the user's hero_foundry context with the chosen filename.
The list refreshes and the user can immediately open the new file.
Per-doc-type extension correctness: New from Sheets creates .xlsx, New from Documents creates .docx, etc.
