Add modular extension system (#1551)

* Add modular extension system for Spec Kit

Implement a complete extension system that allows third-party developers
to extend Spec Kit functionality through plugins.

## Core Features
- Extension discovery and loading from local and global directories
- YAML-based extension manifest (extension.yml) with metadata and capabilities
- Command extensions: custom slash commands with markdown templates
- Hook system: pre/post hooks for generate, task, and sync operations
- Extension catalog for discovering and installing community extensions
- SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL environment variable for catalog URL override

## Installation Methods
- Catalog install: `specify extension add <name>`
- URL install: `specify extension add <name> --from <url>`
- Dev install: `specify extension add --dev <path>`

## Implementation
- ExtensionManager class for lifecycle management (load, enable, disable)
- Support for extension dependencies and version constraints
- Configuration layering (global → project → extension)
- Hook conditions for conditional execution

## Documentation
- RFC with design rationale and architecture decisions
- API reference for extension developers
- Development guide with examples
- User guide for installing and managing extensions
- Publishing guide for the extension catalog

## Included
- Extension template for bootstrapping new extensions
- Comprehensive test suite
- Example catalog.json structure

* Update Jira extension to v2.1.0 in catalog

Adds 2-level mode support (Epic → Stories only).

* Address PR review feedback

- Fix Zip Slip vulnerability in ZIP extraction with path validation
- Fix keep_config option to actually preserve config files on removal
- Add URL validation for SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL (HTTPS required, localhost exception)
- Add security warning when installing from custom URLs (--from flag)
- Empty catalog.json so organizations can ship their own catalogs
- Fix markdown linter errors (MD040: add language to code blocks)
- Remove redundant import and fix unused variables in tests
- Add comment explaining empty except clause for backwards compatibility

* Add comprehensive organization catalog customization docs

- Explain why default catalog is empty (org control)
- Document how to create and host custom catalogs
- Add catalog JSON schema reference
- Include use cases: private extensions, curated catalogs, air-gapped environments
- Add examples for combining catalog with direct installation

* Fix test assertions for extension system data structures

- Update test_config_backup_on_remove to use new subdirectory structure
  (.backup/test-ext/file.yml instead of .backup/test-ext-file.yml)
- Update test_full_install_and_remove_workflow to handle registered_commands
  being a dict keyed by agent name instead of a flat list

* Address Copilot review feedback

- Fix localhost URL check to use parsed.hostname instead of netloc.startswith()
  This correctly handles URLs with ports like localhost:8080
- Fix YAML indentation error in config-template.yml (line 57)
- Fix double space typo in example.md (line 172)

* Add catalog.example.json as reference for organizations

The main catalog.json is intentionally empty so organizations can ship
their own curated catalogs. This example file shows the expected schema
and structure for creating organization-specific catalogs.

* Address remaining Copilot security and logic review feedback

- Fix Zip Slip vulnerability by using relative_to() for safe path validation
- Add HTTPS validation for extension download URLs
- Backup both *-config.yml and *-config.local.yml files on remove
- Normalize boolean values to lowercase for hook condition comparisons
- Show non-default catalog warning only once per instance

* Ignoring linter for extensions directory

description: "Example command that demonstrates extension functionality"
# CUSTOMIZE: List MCP tools this command uses
tools:
- 'example-mcp-server/example_tool'
---
# Example Command
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace this entire file with your command documentation -->
This is an example command that demonstrates how to create commands for Spec Kit extensions.
## Purpose
Describe what this command does and when to use it.
## Prerequisites
List requirements before using this command:
1. Prerequisite 1 (e.g., "MCP server configured")
2. Prerequisite 2 (e.g., "Configuration file exists")
3. Prerequisite 3 (e.g., "Valid API credentials")
## User Input
$ARGUMENTS
## Steps
### Step 1: Load Configuration
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace with your actual steps -->
Load extension configuration from the project:
``bash
config_file=".specify/extensions/my-extension/my-extension-config.yml"
if [ ! -f "$config_file" ]; then
echo "❌ Error: Configuration not found at $config_file"
echo "Run 'specify extension add my-extension' to install and configure"
exit 1
fi
# Read configuration values
setting_value=$(yq eval '.settings.key' "$config_file")
# Apply environment variable overrides
setting_value="${SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY:-$setting_value}"
# Validate configuration
if [ -z "$setting_value" ]; then
echo "❌ Error: Configuration value not set"
echo "Edit $config_file and set 'settings.key'"
exit 1
fi
echo "📋 Configuration loaded: $setting_value"
``
### Step 2: Perform Main Action
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace with your command logic -->
Describe what this step does:
``markdown
Use MCP tools to perform the main action:
- Tool: example-mcp-server example_tool
- Parameters: { "key": "$setting_value" }
This calls the MCP server tool to execute the operation.
``
### Step 3: Process Results
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add more steps as needed -->
Process the results and provide output:
`` bash
echo ""
echo "✅ Command completed successfully!"
echo ""
echo "Results:"
echo " • Item 1: Value"
echo " • Item 2: Value"
echo ""
``
### Step 4: Save Output (Optional)
Save results to a file if needed:
``bash
output_file=".specify/my-extension-output.json"
cat > "$output_file" <<EOF
{
"timestamp": "$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")",
"setting": "$setting_value",
"results": []
}
EOF
echo "💾 Output saved to $output_file"
``
## Configuration Reference
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Document configuration options -->
This command uses the following configuration from `my-extension-config.yml`:
- **settings.key**: Description of what this setting does
- Type: string
- Required: Yes
- Example: `"example-value"`
- **settings.another_key**: Description of another setting
- Type: boolean
- Required: No
- Default: `false`
- Example: `true`
## Environment Variables
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Document environment variable overrides -->
Configuration can be overridden with environment variables:
- `SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY` - Overrides `settings.key`
- `SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_ANOTHER_KEY` - Overrides `settings.another_key`
Example:
``bash
export SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY="override-value"
``
## Troubleshooting
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add common issues and solutions -->
### "Configuration not found"
**Solution**: Install the extension and create configuration:
``bash
specify extension add my-extension
cp .specify/extensions/my-extension/config-template.yml \
.specify/extensions/my-extension/my-extension-config.yml
``
### "MCP tool not available"
**Solution**: Ensure MCP server is configured in your AI agent settings.
### "Permission denied"
**Solution**: Check credentials and permissions in the external service.
## Notes
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add helpful notes and tips -->
- This command requires an active connection to the external service
- Results are cached for performance
- Re-run the command to refresh data
## Examples
<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add usage examples -->
### Example 1: Basic Usage
``bash
# Run with default configuration
>
> /speckit.my-extension.example
``
### Example 2: With Environment Override
``bash
# Override configuration with environment variable
export SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY="custom-value"
> /speckit.my-extension.example
``
### Example 3: After Core Command
``bash
# Use as part of a workflow
>
> /speckit.tasks
> /speckit.my-extension.example
``
