Replace the derived .claude-plugin directory entry with the concrete\nplugin manifest files so release:prepare can git-add them without\ntripping over the ignore rule for the directory itself.\n\nAdd matching test updates for the workflow contract.
Treat generated plugin mirrors and marketplace outputs as managed
canonical artifacts so the main-branch sync bot can stage and commit
them instead of failing on unmanaged drift.
Ignore web-app coverage output during maintainer runs and update the
mirrored Office unpack scripts so plugin copies stay aligned with the
hardened source implementations.
Freeze the accepted validation warning count at 135 so repo-state and release-state checks fail if the warning baseline grows silently while legacy warnings remain intentionally preserved.
Add a read-only maintainer audit command plus regression tests so maintainers can inspect repo health quickly without mutating files.
Unify main-branch maintenance around repo-state and release-state commands so generated docs, contributor acknowledgements, tracked web assets, and canonical artifacts stay aligned across CI and scheduled hygiene runs.
Harden release publication by reusing deterministic sync commands, adding package dry-run verification, and covering the new workflow contract with regression tests.
