Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add scripts/make-mcpb.mjs interactive maker for
 advanced users
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Power users with multiple Obsidian vaults (or anyone wanting a
custom-named bundle) run `node scripts/make-mcpb.mjs`, answer three
prompts (display name, URL, API key), and get an
obsidian-mcp-<slug>.mcpb with the chosen name and defaults
pre-filled. Drop it into Claude Desktop — one-click install with no
manual entry in the user_config dialog.

Shares the zip builder with scripts/build-mcpb.mjs so there's a
single source of truth for the bundle format. Zero deps; Node ≥18.

This is the path ADR-102 §6 designates for multi-vault setups,
replacing both the rejected N-slot manifest design and the
multi-variant publishing alternative.

Refs ADR-102.
