* feat: add spec-kit-onboard extension to community catalog (github#1991)

Adds the onboard extension (v2.1.0) — contextual onboarding and
progressive growth for developers new to spec-kit projects.

- 7 commands: start, explain, trail, quiz, badge, mentor, team
- 3 hooks: after-implement, before-implement, after-explain
- Repository: https://github.com/dmux/spec-kit-onboard

* feat: add MAQA extension suite to community catalog and README

Adds 7 extensions forming the MAQA (Multi-Agent & Quality Assurance)
suite to catalog.community.json in correct alphabetical order (after
'learn', before 'onboard') and to the README community extensions table:

- maqa           — coordinator/feature/QA workflow, board auto-detection
- maqa-azure-devops — Azure DevOps Boards integration
- maqa-ci           — CI/CD gate (GitHub Actions/CircleCI/GitLab/Bitbucket)
- maqa-github-projects — GitHub Projects v2 integration
- maqa-jira         — Jira integration
- maqa-linear       — Linear integration
- maqa-trello       — Trello integration

All entries placed alphabetically. maqa v0.1.3 bumped to reflect
multi-board auto-detection added in this release.

* fix: set catalog updated_at to match latest entry timestamp

Top-level updated_at was 00:00:00Z while plan-review-gate entries
had 08:22:30Z, making metadata inconsistent for freshness consumers.
Updated to 2026-03-27T08:22:30Z (>= all entry timestamps).

* feat: add multi-agent templates with mandatory commit, configurable push and QA cadence

- Add templates/agents/{coordinator,feature,qa}.md — language-agnostic
  versions of the three-agent workflow (coordinator → feature → QA)
- feature agent: commit is non-negotiable before returning result;
  optional git push gated on auto_push setting
- coordinator: reads auto_push and qa_cadence from .specify/init-options.json;
  qa_cadence=per_feature (default) spawns QA after each feature agent,
  qa_cadence=batch_end waits until all batch features are done to save credits
- qa agent: git commit verification as step 0 prevents work loss on worktree deletion
- Add --auto-push/--no-auto-push and --qa-cadence CLI flags to specify init
- Save both settings to .specify/init-options.json with safe defaults
  (auto_push=false, qa_cadence=per_feature)
- Fix scaffold_from_core_pack to recursively copy templates/ subdirectories
  so offline scaffolding matches release ZIP output (parity test coverage)
- Bundle templates/agents/ into wheel via pyproject.toml force-include
