Replace Collections with Plugins as first-class citizens in the repo.
With the Copilot CLI v0.409 release making plugins an on-by-default
marketplace, collections are redundant overhead.
## What changed
### Plugin Infrastructure
- Created eng/validate-plugins.mjs (replaces validate-collections.mjs)
- Created eng/create-plugin.mjs (replaces create-collection.mjs)
- Enhanced all 42 plugin.json files with tags, featured, display, and
items metadata from their corresponding collection.yml files
### Build & Website
- Updated eng/update-readme.mjs to generate plugin docs
- Updated eng/generate-website-data.mjs to emit plugins.json with full
items array for modal rendering
- Renamed website collections page to plugins (/plugins/)
- Fixed plugin modal to use <div> instead of <pre> for proper styling
- Updated README.md featured section from Collections to Plugins
### Documentation & CI
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, PR template
- Updated CI workflows to validate plugins instead of collections
- Replaced docs/README.collections.md with docs/README.plugins.md
### Cleanup
- Removed eng/validate-collections.mjs, eng/create-collection.mjs,
eng/collection-to-plugin.mjs
- Removed entire collections/ directory (41 .collection.yml + .md files)
- Removed parseCollectionYaml from yaml-parser.mjs
- Removed COLLECTIONS_DIR from constants.mjs
Closes#711
- Introduced hooks to enable automated workflows triggered by specific events during GitHub Copilot sessions.
- Added documentation for hooks in AGENTS.md and README.md.
- Created a new directory structure for hooks, including README.md and hooks.json files.
- Implemented two example hooks: Session Auto-Commit and Session Logger.
- Developed scripts for logging session events and auto-committing changes.
- Enhanced validation and parsing for hook metadata.

by reviewer. Updated generated docs via npm run build.

* feat(chatmodes): Add HLBPA (documentation architect) chat modes
- HLBPA is a high-level, big-picture architect for systems documentation
- It can be used either in VSC as usual or dropped in coding agent for auto-updates
- Depends on user's prompting skills to get the best results
- Will default to a more generalist mode if not enough context is given
- Minor updates to README and CONTRIBUTING to fix formatting errors
