Abhitej John ca1b47371f Add automated per-plugin versioning (NBGV) with /version-bump + weekly backstop (#813)
* Add automated per-plugin versioning (NBGV) with /version-bump + weekly backstop

WHY
Tools that surface skills (Copilot CLI, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) read a
plugin's version directly from its checked-in manifest. With no versioning
discipline, a plugin's behavior can change while its advertised version stays
flat, so clients never learn to re-pull, and there is no human-readable signal
of what changed. We want correct, current versions in the repo with minimal
manual work and without bloating the marketplace clone.

WHAT
- Per-plugin semantic versioning via Nerdbank.GitVersioning (NBGV). Each plugin
  owns a version.json whose pathFilters exclude the generated manifests and the
  version.json itself, so version height tracks real content changes only.
- The computed version is materialized into the checked-in manifests
  (plugin.json and .codex-plugin/plugin.json) so every consumer reads a current
  value with no build step on their side.
- eng/version/Sync-PluginVersions.ps1 is the single workhorse. It resolves the
  set of changed plugins from a git diff, computes each version with nbgv
  (predicting the squash-merge height for PRs), and either reports or stamps.

AUTOMATIONS (two, low-touch by design)
- /version-bump: an admin/maintainer comments the command on a PR and the
  affected plugins are stamped on the PR branch. Gated on collaborator
  permission (admin/write/maintain); forks are rejected before any privileged
  step. No other PRs are auto-modified.
- weekly-version-sync: a Monday backstop (and workflow_dispatch) that stamps any
  drift on main, opens/updates a single bot PR, and explains the per-plugin
  reason. This self-heals anything that merged without a bump.

We deliberately did NOT auto-edit contributor PRs or add a noisy advisory
comment bot; maintainers stay in control and the signal stays clean.

SECURITY (multi-model adversarial review: GPT-5.5 + Gemini 3.1 Pro)
- Supply chain (High, both models): dotnet tool restore would have honored a
  nuget.config authored in the PR tree, letting an attacker remap the nbgv
  package source to a malicious feed and run code in the privileged
  contents:write context. Mitigated with a trusted eng/version/nuget.config
  (clear + nuget.org-only + packageSourceMapping), overlaid from main and used
  via --configfile so PR-supplied configs are ignored. No nuget.config is
  tracked in the repo today, so this path was genuinely exploitable.
- TOCTOU (Medium): /version-bump now checks out the authorized head SHA rather
  than the mutable branch name; a racing push fails non-fast-forward, which is
  the safe outcome.
- Injection: Set-ManifestVersion uses a MatchEvaluator (not a replacement
  string) so a "$"-bearing version cannot re-expand, plus a strict
  major.minor.patch guard that throws on a malformed base, leaving manifests
  untouched.
- A base-only version.json bump (0.1 -> 0.2) is correctly detected and stamped.

VERIFIED
End-to-end against a real NBGV git harness: content-scoped predict, base-only
bump -> x.y.0, docs-only -> [], weekly drift stamping, malformed-base guard,
and --configfile restore (exit 0). actionlint passes on both workflows.

* Address Copilot review feedback

- Add missing plugins/dotnet-test-migration/version.json so it participates
  in versioning (it was the only plugin without one; manifests are at 0.1.0).
- CONTRIBUTING: the two manifests are not byte-identical; say the version is
  duplicated across two manifest files instead.
- weekly-version-sync: include version.json in commit attribution so a
  base-only bump is explained rather than showing 'no attributable commits'.
- Get-NbgvInfo: capture nbgv stderr and include it in the thrown error so CI
  failures are diagnosable, while keeping stdout clean for JSON parsing.
