Distribution, Host, and Extension

English reading guide. The complete Chinese specification remains the authoritative source for exact fields, examples, implementation status, and historical details. This page is a concise guide, not a full translation.

Treat distribution channels as separate contracts

• A plugin package, its Host, and an Extension have different distribution and runtime boundaries. A locally built artifact does not establish public availability.

• Use the approved channel and resource contracts for the target platform. Do not silently download executable dependencies from plugin lifecycle hooks.

• Keep source review, signing, platform approval, user installation consent, and runtime authorization as distinct evidence gates.

• Consult the source for precise platform, channel, packaging, and permission restrictions before public distribution.
