Testing Details

Tested by the https://github.com/d0whc3r/spec-kit-product release pipeline (release):

• Manifest validation (pnpm run validate) confirms extension.yml and catalog.json agree on version, command count, and hook count.
• Content lint (pnpm run lint:content) enforces the output style rules every command must follow.
• The release archive product-0.5.3.zip is built and attached to the GitHub release at tag v0.5.3.
• Install is exercised from the published download URL above.

Test project: the extension is dogfooded on this repository's own specs/*/product/ artifacts, generated from real spec.md and plan.md files.
