This section is the architecture track of the Developer Guide. Six chapters, meant to be read top-to-bottom once, each building on the one before it.
By the end you'll know how a plugin gets discovered on disk, how it gets booted into a live request, what registration surfaces it has available, and how themes consume what plugins contributed.
| # | Chapter | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plugin Discovery | How does Scriptor find plugins on disk? |
| 2 | Plugin Manager | How are plugins booted into a request? |
| 3 | Plugin Context | What can a plugin actually register? |
| 4 | Frontend Events | How does plugin code intercept the page pipeline? |
| 5 | Editor Extensions | How does a plugin add admin surfaces? |
| 6 | Frontend Nav Registry | How do plugins contribute to the site's top-level navigation? |
Each chapter ends with a Behind the scenes note pointing at the exact source files you can read next. Concepts are the foundation; the tutorials and cookbook build on this vocabulary.
