OnlyOffice can convert between formats via its Convert API (xlsx <-> csv, docx <-> pdf, pptx -> pdf, ...). Currently no path in our UI lets a user export.

Acceptance

A Save As action on each FileRow (or in the editor's File menu equivalent if simpler), with a dropdown of valid target formats based on source DocType.
A new RPC method on hero_office_server that wraps OnlyOffice's /ConvertService.ashx endpoint: takes (context, filename, targetExt), POSTs a JWT-signed convert request, polls for completion, downloads the converted bytes, PUTs them into hero_foundry under a new filename.
Sensible target sets:
- Cell -> csv, pdf, ods
- Word -> pdf, odt, rtf, txt
- Slide -> pdf, odp
- Pdf -> docx (extract editable, lossy)
- Diagram -> pdf, png
Test: seed a docx, Save As pdf, assert the new pdf appears in the list and opens cleanly in the PDF island.
