The `category` field is a marketplace-specific property that belongs in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, not in individual plugin manifests. Its presence in `plugin.json` causes validation errors during plugin installation: `Unrecognized key: "category"`. - Remove `category` from 10 plugin.json files - Add 4 missing plugins (bun, frontend, instantly, autopilot) to marketplace.json with their category values preserved
