Description

• Add Hephaestus to the Plugins & Extensions table
• Update the README plugin count metric to reflect the new entry
• Normalize README EOF by adding a trailing newline

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Auto-generate metric counts in CI

• ➕ Avoids manual count drift when entries are added/removed
• ➕ Ensures README metrics stay consistent with the tables
• ➖ Adds CI and scripting complexity for a small repo
• ➖ Requires deciding the source of truth and parsing format conventions

2. Remove the numeric 'Plugins listed' metric

• ➕ Eliminates a value that can become stale
• ➕ Reduces maintenance overhead for future additions
• ➖ Loses a quick at-a-glance summary of list size

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (manual count bump + new row) is appropriate for a lightweight list. If churn increases and counts drift becomes a recurring issue, consider auto-generating the metrics in CI; otherwise, keep the current manual update pattern.

1. Stale last-updated status ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

README.md updates the Plugins & Extensions list (and increments the plugin count) but leaves the
Status table “Last updated” value at 2025-Q2, which is now inaccurate and can mislead readers about
list freshness.

+| [Hephaestus](https://github.com/agentlas-ai/Hephaestus) | agentlas-ai | Local agent runtime for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor with skills, commands, memory, and policy gates |

Evidence

The README shows the updated plugin count and the newly-added Hephaestus entry, while still
reporting Last updated | 2025-Q2, indicating the status metadata was not refreshed alongside the
content change.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The README Status table includes a `Last updated` field, but this PR changes the plugin list without updating that field, making the metadata stale.

### Issue Context
The repo appears to use the Status table as a quick freshness/summary indicator. After adding a new plugin entry and updating the plugin count, the `Last updated` value should be bumped accordingly (or removed if it’s not intended to be maintained).

### Fix Focus Areas
