feat(ci): implement dynamic plugin discovery for semantic-release

[baleen37]

Summary

Add automatic plugin discovery from plugins/ directory to eliminate manual maintenance of plugin list in .releaserc.js. This fixes the issue where strategic-compact was missing from version updates.

Changes

• Add discoverPlugins() function to .releaserc.js using fs.readdirSync
• Update release.yml to read version from marketplace.json instead of hardcoded plugin path
• Update CLAUDE.md and README.md to use generic examples

Test plan

• bats tests/ passes (75 tests)
• Plugin discovery test confirms 6 plugins found (including strategic-compact)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Plugins now auto-discovered at runtime; eliminates manual list configuration.
  • New script to automatically install/update all available marketplace plugins with per-plugin success/failure reporting.
  • Expanded public plugin catalog with three additional plugins.

• Documentation

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Release & Build Configuration .github/workflows/release.yml, .releaserc.js	Release workflow now reads version from marketplace.json instead of a hardcoded plugin path; .releaserc.js adds dynamic plugin discovery by scanning the plugins directory for .claude-plugin/plugin.json subdirectories instead of using a static list.
Documentation CLAUDE.md, README.md	Project structure examples refactored to use example-plugin as the single example; documentation updated to reflect auto-discovery approach and new plugin structure; added note that .releaserc.js requires no modification.
Plugin Auto-Update Tooling plugins/auto-updater/commands/update-all-plugins.md, plugins/auto-updater/scripts/update-all-plugins.sh	Command documentation and user-facing guidance updated to reflect new per-plugin install/update workflow; new Bash script introduced that downloads marketplace.json, iterates through plugins, resolves their marketplace mappings, and runs claude plugin install for each with error handling and per-plugin reporting.
