Keep the curated Vercel plugin in sync with vercel/vercel-plugin

What feature would you like to see?

The Vercel plugin distributed through the Codex Plugin Directory should track the current upstream vercel/vercel-plugin release closely enough that Codex users receive newly supported capabilities without manually installing a second copy.

The installed Codex plugin currently identifies itself as:

• Display name: Vercel
• Local plugin ID / command namespace: vercel
• Package version: 0.21.4
• README-reported imported upstream version: 0.21.0

The upstream repository currently reports version 0.48.2 and explicitly supports OpenAI Codex. The newer upstream version includes substantial changes, including updated lifecycle hooks and project profiling, revised on-demand skill activation, and newer skills such as protected deployment access, agent building, backend creation, and Flags SDK guidance.

Users who install Vercel from the Codex directory reasonably expect it to represent the currently supported official Vercel plugin. The current version gap means they cannot use the latest upstream behavior through the managed Codex plugin and may not realize that the /vercel package is behind /vercel-plugin.

Please update the curated Vercel package to the current compatible upstream version. Ideally, also add an automated upstream sync or version check so future major upstream changes reach Codex without requiring users to install a duplicate plugin manually.

The connected Vercel app itself works. This request concerns the stale curated skill, command, agent, and hook package shipped to Codex users, not Vercel OAuth connectivity.

Start by inspecting the curated package metadata at ~/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-curated-remote/vercel/0.21.4/.codex-plugin/plugin.json and its packaged README, then compare them with the upstream vercel/vercel-plugin release. Update the curated package to the compatible upstream version and ensure its reported metadata is current; if adding synchronization, verify that a future upstream version change is detected.
