…#757) Adds a dedicated reference page documenting the marketplace.json schema APM consumes and produces, alongside the existing manifest and lockfile specs. The page covers all top-level and per-plugin fields, source types, source-key aliases for Copilot CLI compatibility, the metadata.pluginRoot semantics, validation against the canonical JSON Schema fixture, and versioning rules. The existing Marketplaces guide gets a single "See also" callout linking to the new reference. The canonical JSON Schema at tests/fixtures/schemas/claude-code-marketplace.schema.json remains the source of truth; this document is the human-readable mirror. Refs microsoft#757

…a validity Addresses two Copilot review findings on #1117: - String source description now explicitly states that the canonical JSON Schema requires the '^./' pattern; bare names are an APM runtime extension that does not conform to the canonical schema. - pluginRoot section example changed from bare name 'my-tool' to schema-valid './my-tool'; APM's bare-name extension is documented as a Note block so readers are not misled about schema validation.

Closing - we need to point users to the vendor's specifications, not maintain our own schema. So far, we have Claude and Codex pushing slight variations of the marketplace schema. |

Problem
Issue #757 calls out that there is no dedicated reference for the
marketplace.jsonschema. Authors and tooling have to reverse-engineer the format fromguides/marketplaces.md,guides/marketplace-authoring.md, and the JSON Schema fixture undertests/fixtures/.Change
Adds a new reference page at
docs/src/content/docs/reference/marketplace-schema.md(sidebar order 7), modelled onmanifest-schema.mdandlockfile-spec.md:<dl>header and a link to the canonical JSON Schema fixture.github,url,git-subdir, stringsource) plus thesource/repo/sha/url/pathalias table for Copilot CLI back-compat.metadata.pluginRootsemantics, with a worked example.jsonschema.The existing
guides/marketplaces.mdpage gets one Starlight:::tip"See also" callout linking to the new reference. No other prose was changed.Notes
tests/fixtures/schemas/claude-code-marketplace.schema.json. This page is the human-readable mirror, not a redefinition.repo/subdir) and the canonical schema uses Claude-Code names (url/path), the new reference documents the canonical names and lists the legacy aliases in §4.1.1 instead of contradicting the guide.Test plan
