What's Wrong?
Problem
commit-commands and code-review plugins lack .claude-plugin/plugin.json files but don't set "strict": false in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. This causes discovery
systems to reject them (default is strict: true requiring plugin.json).
## Fix
Add "strict": false to both entries in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json:
- commit-commands entry (line ~15)
- code-review entry (line ~57)
Per spec, when strict: false, the marketplace entry serves as the complete manifest.
Without this, these plugins fail validation in third-party marketplace platforms.
What Should Happen?
Add "strict": false to both entries in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json:
