plugin-atoms

Plugin interface standards — interface contracts, capability declarations, permission scopes, lifecycle hooks, trust primitives.

Not implementations — standards. Interface contracts, capability declarations, permission scopes, lifecycle hooks, and trust primitives defined once. The USB-C for software plugins: any conforming plugin loads into any conforming runtime.
