[Extension]: Update AEE catalog entry to v1.0.1

Locate the existing AEE v1.0.0 catalog entry and compare it with the proposed v1.0.1 JSON in this issue. Update the version, description, tool dependencies, URLs, and command or hook counts, then run the catalog's automated validation; done means the entry validates and matches the released v1.0.1 metadata.

Tags

epistemics, evidence, provenance, uncertainty, governance

Key Features

• Challenge claims on atomicity, boundaries, falsifiability, dependencies, and evidence independence
• Assess explicit claims and emit a rich AEE assessment plus an Evaluator Contract result
• Render the claim dependency graph and inspect epistemic provenance
• Verify the tamper-evident AEE ledger without claiming its contents are true
• Apply a CI-friendly decision gate to an AEE assessment
• Generate and update the gap register from a verification matrix and test evidence

Testing Checklist

• Extension installs successfully via download URL
• All commands execute without errors
• Documentation is complete and accurate
• No security vulnerabilities identified
• Tested on at least one real project

Submission Requirements

• Valid extension.yml manifest included
• README.md with installation and usage instructions
• LICENSE file included
• GitHub release created with version tag
• All command files exist and are properly formatted
• Extension ID follows naming conventions (lowercase-with-hyphens)

Testing Details

Tested on (CI): Ubuntu 24.04 with Python 3.11 and 3.13; Windows with Python 3.12 — all installing the real AEE engine 1.0.2 from hash-locked requirements (pip install --require-hashes).
Manifest validation: the release extension.yml is parsed with Spec Kit's own manifest parser in CI (validate job), and deterministic extension.yml/documentation compliance tests run on every push.
What changed in v1.0.1 vs v1.0.0: dependency metadata now uses Spec Kit's documented tool metadata (Python, AEE engine 1.0.2, Evaluator Contract); the unsupported requires.commands field was replaced with explicit installation guidance; the description was trimmed to 99 characters per the publishing guide; the exact AEE claim field vocabulary is documented in speckit.aee.assess.

Example Usage

# Install extension
specify extension add aee --from https://github.com/electrohire/spec-kit-aee/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.1.zip

# Assess the claims in your current spec
/speckit.aee.assess

Additional Context

Note for maintainers: this updates the existing catalog entry for the AEE extension (v1.0.0 → v1.0.1, new description). It is separate from #4626, which requested dependency-metadata corrections for the existing v1.0.0 entry. Please do not close this as a duplicate of #4626.

• This issue supersedes #4661, which failed automated validation only because the validator's execution environment blocked the archive download (all other checks — extension ID, semver, repository files, URL ownership/pinning, matching release, all submission checkboxes — passed); #4661 is being closed.
• Existing catalog entry (v1.0.0) should be updated to this v1.0.1 entry: new version, new 99-character description, declared tool dependencies.
• Release: https://github.com/electrohire/spec-kit-aee/releases/tag/v1.0.1
