Fail closed when an existing pack manifest is invalid.

If .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists but is unreadable or has no valid name, Lines [235-241] return null. Line [493] then leaves the installed plugin root selected. compile and check can use the previous release’s fills again instead of reporting the pack manifest error. A present non-string version is also converted to "" at Line [239], which can emit an empty version token through lib/skills/sources.ts Lines [238-314]. Keep the legacy fallback only for a missing manifest. Reject invalid contents before resolving plugin roots.

plugin-root resolution flow around manifestPath so the legacy fallback is used
only when the manifest is absent. Treat unreadable manifests, missing or
non-string name values, and non-string version values as invalid and reject them
before the installed plugin root can be selected; do not convert an invalid
version to an empty string.

Reject mattstack for non-core pack identities.

mattstack is the hard-coded core namespace. A colliding manifest replaces pluginRoots.byName.mattstack, causing engine loading and provenance to use the pack directory. Reject this collision before the assignment, while allowing the actual core pack, and add a regression test.

packPluginIdentity before assigning to pluginRoots.byName in the self-pack

covering the collision and preserving normal core behavior.
