orchestrator: complete PLUGIN_VERSION self-sync in system_status

[evannadeau]

Summary

Completes the PLUGIN_VERSION self-sync cleanup introduced in commit d9a7bb3 (orchestrator 0.30.31). That cleanup added a module-load PLUGIN_VERSION constant read from package.json precisely to eliminate version-string drift, with the comment at plugins/orchestrator/mcp/server.ts:32-37 documenting the intent. The system_status line at plugins/orchestrator/mcp/server.ts:655 was missed during that consolidation, so every version bump since (0.30.32 → 0.30.38) has shipped with that line reporting the stale literal 0.30.28. Operator-visible discrepancy: package.json, manifest, and startup banner all report the current version, but system_status returns 0.30.28.

Change

• plugins/orchestrator/mcp/server.ts:655 — replace literal **0.30.28** with **${PLUGIN_VERSION}**.
• plugins/orchestrator/dist/server.js — matching rebuild via bun run build. The template literal ${PLUGIN_VERSION} is intentional; PLUGIN_VERSION is a module-load IIFE reading package.json, not a build-time constant, so bun preserves the variable reference.

Not touched (verified intentional)

Other 0.30.28 references in plugins/orchestrator/mcp/server.ts are kept as-is:

• Lines 175, 209 — commit-history comments describing 0.30.28 behavior (per-PID write-back launcher work).
• Lines 912, 919, 1298 — user-facing feature-version annotations in lookup / note tool descriptions ((0.30.28+) marks when pagination / hard size limit landed). Rewriting these would corrupt API docs.

Verification

bun run build clean, 249 modules bundled. dist/server.js updated in sync with source.

Closing as duplicate. PR #10 (filed 2026-05-15) already includes the identical version-drift fix at mcp/server.ts:655 PLUS a companion path-hashing fix at mcp/server.ts:2181. PR #13 was opened from a stale workspace KB read that didn't reference PR #10 — duplicate caught during a follow-up dispatch. PR #10 has the broader scope and a 24h head-start in the review queue; preserving it.

Reviewer's verification of the 5 inert 0.30.28 references (lines 175, 209, 912, 919, 1298 — all intentional comment-history + feature-version annotations) has been contributed as a comment on PR #10 for the maintainer's context.
