release: v3.14.3 — align MCP wiring with Anthropic-official plugin convention

Single source of truth for MCP config now lives in .mcp.json at the
plugin root, matching the pattern used by every plugin in
claude-plugins-official (linear, figma, github, atlassian).

- .mcp.json: switch from uvx --from neuro-cortex-memory to the plugin-
  bundled launcher.py path. Removes the out-of-band PyPI dependency —
  marketplace install/upgrade now atomically replaces the MCP server
  alongside the slash commands and skills. End-users no longer need
  uv installed, and `uv tool upgrade` is no longer part of the update
  flow.
- plugin.json: replace inline mcpServers block with "./.mcp.json"
  reference, mirroring the atlassian plugin shape. Eliminates the
  competing-config bug where two "cortex" servers were registered and
  the uvx variant was winning.
- marketplace.json + pyproject.toml: bump to 3.14.3.

No code changes; this is a packaging/install-path correction.
