Problem

Buildkite supports plugin-only steps — steps where the plugin itself provides execution (e.g. docker-compose#vX, docker#vX). These steps have no command:, commands:, or trigger: field.

Since v1.9.0 (#158), hasAction() only checks those three fields, so plugin-only steps are silently dropped with a Skipping invalid step warning and never appear in the generated pipeline.

Steps with only a plugins field (e.g. docker-compose build steps) were
silently dropped after v1.9.0 introduced hasAction() validation. Plugins
alone are a valid execution mechanism in Buildkite.
