jason 307c7f5e9b plugin 0.3.0: port search-first rule + 6 new SKILL.md improvements

Promotes the previously session-local search-first write rule into the
canonical plugin and applies items 2-7 from echo-skill-improvements memory:

1. Loading Step 4 and a new mandatory pre-write search section now require
   POST /search/simple/?query=<slug> across all four project lifecycle
   subfolders before creating any slug-addressed note.
2. Daily-note Agent Log uses a resilient PATCH procedure that auto-creates
   the daily note from the template if missing and adds the heading if
   absent before patching.
3. New Style Rule: `created:` is the earliest known date, not "today";
   preserve it on merges.
4. New Project Lifecycle section: incubating / active / on-hold / archived,
   with the rule that folder and frontmatter.status must agree.
5. Session filename pinned to YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-<slug>.md (lex-sortable);
   existing files left as-is.
6. Loading Step 3: read only the ~5 most recent sessions by reverse lex
   sort instead of the full list.
7. `source_notes` defined as a backward link to inputs; forward links
   belong in `## Related` in the body.

Repo layout: promotes the previously zipped-only plugin to a tracked
source tree at echo-memory.plugin.src/. The .plugin zip is rebuilt
from source on each version bump.

Bumps plugin.json to 0.3.0.

echo-memory

Persistent memory for Claude via the ECHO Obsidian vault, using the Obsidian Local REST API.

Reads and writes notes across Claude/CoWork sessions using direct REST calls — no MCP server required. Built for Jason Stedwell (Director of Technical Services / Systems Engineer, MPM / ALABAMA wISP), who is both the operator and the architect of this vault. Successor to the obsidian-memory system and sibling of the goldbrain vault (Bryan's).

What it does

Loads operator preferences, current context, and relevant project notes at the start of substantive conversations
Writes facts, preferences, and decisions Jason asks Claude to remember
Logs working sessions so future conversations can pick up where they left off
Defers to the vault's own BOOTSTRAP.md to verify and repair structure

Configuration

The plugin is hardcoded for:

Server: https://echoapi.alwisp.com (reverse proxy → backend Obsidian Local REST API)
API Key: stored in the skill (personal plugin, not for distribution)

The endpoint presents a valid TLS certificate, so -k is not required. The bearer key lives only in the plugin — never inside the vault (per the vault's own safety rules).
