Seth Hobson 4d504ed8fa fix: eliminate cross-plugin dependencies and modernize plugin.json across marketplace

Rewrites 14 commands across 11 plugins to remove all cross-plugin
subagent_type references (e.g., "unit-testing::test-automator"), which
break when plugins are installed standalone. Each command now uses only
local bundled agents or general-purpose with role context in the prompt.

All rewritten commands follow conductor-style patterns:
- CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES with strong directives
- State files for session tracking and resume support
- Phase checkpoints requiring explicit user approval
- File-based context passing between steps

Also fixes 4 plugin.json files missing version/license fields and adds
plugin.json for dotnet-contribution.

Closes #433

Orchestrate multi-agent incident response with modern SRE practices for rapid resolution and learning	<incident description> [--severity P0\|P1\|P2\|P3]

Incident Response Orchestrator

CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES

You MUST follow these rules exactly. Violating any of them is a failure.

Execute steps in order. Do NOT skip ahead, reorder, or merge steps.
Write output files. Each step MUST produce its output file in .incident-response/ before the next step begins. Read from prior step files — do NOT rely on context window memory.
Stop at checkpoints. When you reach a PHASE CHECKPOINT, you MUST stop and wait for explicit user approval before continuing. Use the AskUserQuestion tool with clear options.
Halt on failure. If any step fails (agent error, test failure, missing dependency), STOP immediately. Present the error and ask the user how to proceed. Do NOT silently continue.
Use only local agents. All subagent_type references use agents bundled with this plugin or general-purpose. No cross-plugin dependencies.
Never enter plan mode autonomously. Do NOT use EnterPlanMode. This command IS the plan — execute it.

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, perform these checks:

1. Check for existing session

Check if .incident-response/state.json exists:

If it exists and status is "in_progress": Read it, display the current step, and ask the user:

Found an in-progress incident response session:
Incident: [incident from state]
Severity: [severity from state]
Current step: [step from state]

1. Resume from where we left off
2. Start fresh (archives existing session)

If it exists and status is "complete": Ask whether to archive and start fresh.

2. Initialize state

Create .incident-response/ directory and state.json:

{
  "incident": "$ARGUMENTS",
  "status": "in_progress",
  "severity": "P1",
  "current_step": 1,
  "current_phase": 1,
  "completed_steps": [],
  "files_created": [],
  "started_at": "ISO_TIMESTAMP",
  "last_updated": "ISO_TIMESTAMP"
}

Parse $ARGUMENTS for --severity flag. Default to P1 if not specified.

3. Parse incident description

Extract the incident description from $ARGUMENTS (everything before the flags). This is referenced as $INCIDENT in prompts below.

Phase 1: Detection & Triage (Steps 1-3)

Step 1: Incident Detection and Classification

Use the Task tool to launch the incident responder agent:

Task:
  subagent_type: "incident-responder"
  description: "URGENT: Classify incident: $INCIDENT"
  prompt: |
    URGENT: Detect and classify incident: $INCIDENT

    Determine:
    1. Incident severity (P0-P3) based on impact assessment
    2. Affected services and their dependencies
    3. User impact and business risk
    4. Initial incident command structure needed
    5. SLO violation status and error budget impact

    Check: error budgets, recent deployments, configuration changes, and monitoring alerts.

    Provide structured output with: SEVERITY, AFFECTED_SERVICES, USER_IMPACT,
    BUSINESS_RISK, INCIDENT_COMMAND, SLO_STATUS.

Save output to .incident-response/01-classification.md.

Update state.json: set current_step to 2, update severity from classification, add step 1 to completed_steps.

Step 2: Observability Analysis
