Summary

Extract the updates.xml generation logic from auto-release.yml (lines 373-513) into a standalone CLI tool.

What it does

Parses Joomla XML manifest for extension name/type/element/client/folder
Resolves language keys from .ini files for pretty name
Generates complete updates.xml with all stability channels (dev, alpha, beta, rc, stable)
Builds download URLs with proper TYPE_PREFIX naming

CLI interface

php cli/updates_generate.php   --path . --version "$VERSION"   --gitea-url "$GITEA_URL" --org "$ORG" --repo "$REPO"   --output-file updates.xml --output-metadata-as-json

Priority

Very High complexity, very high reuse across all Joomla repos.
