Verify VS Code discovery of bundled plugin agents and settle the agent filename convention #74

Evidence: VS Code's agent-plugin docs show bundled agents as agents/*.agent.md (their only concrete example), while this repo authors all four bundled agents as agents/<name>.md. Whether VS Code picks up bare-.md agent files from an installed plugin is undocumented — the no-copy claim for agents in the VS Code lane is therefore unverified. Surfaced by Codex review on PR #72.

Audience/problem: VS Code users installing gitops-kubernetes or vibe-coding may get skills and MCP servers but silently no companion agent.

Hypothesis: renaming bundled agents to agents/<name>.agent.md makes them discoverable in VS Code without breaking the other consumers (agent names come from frontmatter name:, not the filename, in Claude Code — verified against its sub-agents docs; Copilot CLI needs the same check).

Success signal: an install test in real VS Code shows the bundled agent appearing in the agent picker, and Claude Code + Copilot CLI still list the agent under its unchanged name.

Smallest useful change: rename the four bundled agent files to *.agent.md, verify all three consumers, update README/ADR 0001 accordingly.

Acceptance criteria:

  • VS Code discovery of a bundled plugin agent verified hands-on (agent-picker evidence).
  • Claude Code loads the renamed files with unchanged agent names (verified, not assumed).
  • Copilot CLI ditto.
  • README + ADR 0001 updated to state the verified behaviour.

Size: S (rename + three-consumer verification + docs).

Part of #38.
