plugin.json

Required: id (reverse-DNS), name, version (semver), runtime (wasm|native), entry

Marketplace

Official repo: https://github.com/MicYou-Dev/MicYou-Plugins

/
├── index.json                 # plugin catalog (auto-generated)
└── plugin/<plugin-id>/
    ├── plugin.json            # manifest (updateUrl points to this repo)
    └── plugin.zip             # package artifact

Update flow: updateUrl points at the marketplace manifest, the app compares semver on "Check updates", and downloads the sibling plugin.zip to replace the install
