fix(plugin): sync plugin.json version with releases

plugin.json was stuck at 0.1.0 across every release, so Claude Code's
per-version plugin cache never refreshed and clients kept running the
original .mcp.json (http://127.0.0.1:47822/mcp). Bump to 1.2.0 to match
the node package and add a release-workflow step that derives plugin.json
from the tag on every future release.
