The new "plan-review" entry is inserted between "iterate" and "jira", which breaks the (mostly) alphabetical ordering of extension keys in this section of the catalog. Please relocate it to the correct position (after "jira" and before other "p*" entries) to keep diffs stable and make manual lookups easier.

+  "updated_at": "2026-03-26T00:00:00Z",


updated_at should reflect the actual time the catalog was updated (the publishing guide calls for a current timestamp). Using a day-boundary value (00:00:00Z) can be misleading for consumers and makes it harder to correlate catalog updates with commits/releases; please set this to the current UTC timestamp at the time of the change.

This row is not in alphabetical order within the Community Extensions table (it is placed between "Iterate" and "Jira Integration"). The publishing guide explicitly asks to insert new extensions alphabetically (see extensions/EXTENSION-PUBLISHING-GUIDE.md:228); please move this row to the correct position (around the other "P" entries).

Can you make sure the community catalog is order alphabetically by id and the README.md is ordered alphabetically by name
