Example plugin provided

A plugin authoring guide without a working example leaves developers with no reference implementation to validate their understanding. ISO 25010 maintainability.analysability requires that the system behavior be understandable; a worked example is the fastest path from zero to a functioning plugin. Without one, developers commonly misconfigure lifecycle methods, miss required manifest fields, or wire hooks incorrectly — producing broken plugins that erode trust in the system, not in their implementation.

Create a minimal but complete example plugin in examples/hello-world-plugin/ or src/plugins/example/. The example must be runnable, not just a stub.

// examples/hello-world-plugin/src/index.ts
export default {
  name: 'hello-world',
  version: '1.0.0',
  async init(context) { context.logger.info('hello-world: initialized'); },
  async activate() { context.hooks.on('before:request', (ctx) => {
    context.logger.info(`Request to ${ctx.request.url}`);
  }); },
  async deactivate() {},
  async destroy() {}
};
