• Adds the matching entry to the generated marketplace manifest.
• Verifies that both entries are synchronized and the source SHA is valid.

Thanks for submitting aks-skills. At the pinned source revision, it adds specific AKS Day-2 guidance—for example, exact known-issue signatures and approval-gated, run-ID-scoped packet capture—and its README documents the telemetry opt-out. The catalog entry and generated marketplace listing match the same pinned source and metadata. This is a focused complement to the existing general Azure plugin; thanks for contributing it.
