Brian Madison e6e9318515 fix(installer): harden community marketplace.json resolution path
Address review feedback on the community marketplace.json install path:

- Wrap PluginResolver.resolve() in try/catch so a malformed plugin entry
  falls through to the legacy install path with a warn instead of
  crashing cloneModule.
- Stop mutating the resolver's return object; shallow-clone before
  stamping community provenance so install state cannot leak back into
  resolver-owned objects.
- Warn when _selectPluginForModule lands on the single-plugin fallback
  with a name that doesn't match the registry code or module_definition
  hint, so a misconfigured marketplace.json can't silently install the
  wrong plugin.
- Add CommunityModuleManager.resolveFromCache() and call it from
  OfficialModules.install() when the in-process plugin cache is empty,
  so callers that reach install() without pre-cloning still get the
  marketplace-aware path. Reuses an existing channel resolution when
  present, otherwise synthesizes a stable-channel stub from the registry
  entry plus the cached repo's HEAD.
- Align installFromResolution()'s returned versionInfo.version with
  manifestEntry.version precedence (communityVersion || cloneRef || ...)
  so downstream summaries match what was written to the manifest.

Tests: lint, format:check, lint:md, test:install (290), test:channels
(83), test:refs (7) all green.

See all installation options

Not sure what to do? Ask bmad-help — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions like bmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?
