Fix: use self-referencing source so /plugin install handoff works - #1

The marketplace.json listed the handoff plugin with a `github:willseltzer/claude-handoff` source, which points back at this same repository. When `/plugin install handoff` runs, Claude Code treats that as a separate plugin source to fetch — which fails because the plugin files live at the repo root, not in a nested `claude-handoff` sub-repo. Switch to `"source": "./"` so the plugin resolves from the marketplace checkout itself. This matches the convention used by other single-plugin, root-layout marketplaces (e.g. everything-claude-code, osgrep, Mixedbread-Grep). Verified against other marketplace manifests in the Claude Code plugin ecosystem. Fixes: `/plugin install handoff@handoff-marketplace` failing after `/plugin marketplace add willseltzer/claude-handoff`.

Summary
/plugin install handoff@handoff-marketplacefails after/plugin marketplace add willseltzer/claude-handoffbecause the marketplace manifest points the plugin'ssourceatgithub:willseltzer/claude-handoff— which is this same repo.Claude Code treats the plugin
sourceas a separate artifact to fetch, expecting the plugin layout (.claude-plugin/plugin.json,commands/,skills/, …) to live at the root of whatever that source resolves to. In the current manifest it resolves back to this repo via GitHub, but then Claude Code can't cleanly reconcile a plugin source that is identical to the marketplace source, and the install does not complete.Fix
