Plugin Registry Maintenance (IPFS/Pinata)

Registry CID stored in: v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/plugins/store/discovery.ts Gateway: https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/{CID}

Steps to add a plugin:

1. Fetch current registry: curl -s "https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/$(grep LIVE_REGISTRY_CID v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/plugins/store/discovery.ts | cut -d"'" -f2)" > /tmp/registry.json
2. Add plugin entry to plugins array, increment totalPlugins, update category counts
3. Upload: curl -X POST "https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PINATA_JWT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/tmp/registry.json
4. Update LIVE_REGISTRY_CID in discovery.ts and the demoPluginRegistry fallback

Security: NEVER hardcode API keys. Source from .env at runtime. NEVER commit .env.
