Why this extension matters

The community catalog has grown to 60+ extensions — every new submission requires maintainers to manually
verify JSON structure, field formats, URL accessibility, semver compliance, and alphabetical ordering.
The EXTENSION-PUBLISHING-GUIDE.md mentions "Automated Checks (if available)" — but no such tooling
existed until now.

Catalog CI fills that gap with 4 read-only commands:

• validate — JSON structure, required fields, ID format (^[a-z0-9-]+$), semver, alphabetical ordering,
  duplicate detection, date consistency
• check-urls — HTTP HEAD verification of every download_url, repository, homepage, documentation, and
  changelog link
• diff — Git-aware comparison showing exactly which entries were added/modified/removed in a PR
• lint — Cross-checks a local extension.yml against its catalog entry to catch mismatches before
  submission

Impact for maintainers:

• Review time drops from manual field-by-field inspection to running /speckit.catalog-ci.validate once
• Dead links get caught before merge, not after users report broken downloads
• PR authors can self-validate before submitting, reducing back-and-forth review cycles
• Zero hooks, zero file writes — purely read-only, zero risk to existing workflows

This is the kind of infrastructure tooling that scales the catalog review process as the community grows
from 60 to 600 extensions.
