Kjell Tore Guttormsen f75ed5655c feat(plh): flag plugin-agent frontmatter Claude Code ignores (v5.5.0 / E)
Plugin subagents silently ignore `hooks`/`mcpServers`/`permissionMode`
frontmatter — these are honored only for user/project agents in
.claude/agents/ (code.claude.com/docs sub-agents). Setting them in a
plugin agent is dead config; `permissionMode` is MEDIUM because it
implies a restriction Claude Code does not apply (false security).
hooks/mcpServers are LOW.

Additive to PLH's agent-frontmatter loop (no new scanner, count stays
13). One humanizer pattern covers the three field titles. Hermetic
temp-fixture test (positive + negative). Suite 954 -> 957, byte-stable.

Part of v5.5.0 "steering-model I". Foundation (active-config-reader
enumeration) deferred to v5.6 with B — A/E are additive and don't
consume it.
