# Plugin Hooks Reference

This is the canonical reference for the shopdb-flask plugin contract. Plugin authors implement `BasePlugin` and override the hooks they care about. Hooks marked `required` must be implemented; hooks marked `optional` have sensible defaults and can be left alone.

The contract is locked in [ADR-001](../docs/adr/ADR-001-asset-as-platform-contract.md) and versioned per [ADR-002](../docs/adr/ADR-002-plugin-versioning.md).

## Contract version

The framework declares its contract version in `shopdb/__init__.py` as
`__contract_version__`. The current value is in
[PROJECT-MAP.md](PROJECT-MAP.md), which is generated from the code - this page
does not restate it, because a version copied into prose is stale within a
fortnight and a plugin pinned against a stale one is refused at startup.

Each plugin's `manifest.json` declares the range of contract versions it supports:

```json
{
    "name": "yourplugin",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "core_version": ">=0.1.0,<1.0.0",
    "dependencies": []
}
```

The plugin loader checks this at load time and refuses to load plugins outside the supported range.

## Plugin metadata

Each plugin ships a `manifest.json`. The dataclass `PluginMeta` is constructed from it.

```json
{
    "name": "computers",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "Tracks shop-floor PCs and engineering workstations",
    "author": "shopdb-flask",
    "dependencies": [],
    "core_version": ">=0.1.0,<1.0.0",
    "api_prefix": "/api/computers"
}
```

| Field | Required | Notes |
|-------|----------|-------|
| `name` | Yes | Lowercase concatenated, no underscores or dashes |
| `version` | Yes | Plugin's own semver |
| `description` | Yes | One sentence |
| `dependencies` | No | List of plugin names that must load first |
| `core_version` | Yes | Range of framework `__contract_version__` this plugin supports |
| `api_prefix` | No | Defaults to `/api/<name>` |

## Required hooks

### `meta` -> `PluginMeta`

Returns the plugin's metadata. Convention is to construct from `manifest.json`:

```python
from pathlib import Path
import json
from shopdb.plugins.base import BasePlugin, PluginMeta

class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def __init__(self):
        manifestpath = Path(__file__).parent / 'manifest.json'
        with open(manifestpath) as f:
            self._manifest = json.load(f)

    @property
    def meta(self) -> PluginMeta:
        return PluginMeta(
            name=self._manifest['name'],
            version=self._manifest['version'],
            description=self._manifest['description'],
            dependencies=self._manifest.get('dependencies', []),
            core_version=self._manifest.get('core_version', '>=0.1.0'),
            api_prefix=self._manifest.get('api_prefix'),
        )
```

### `get_blueprint() -> Optional[Blueprint]`

Returns a Flask Blueprint with the plugin's API routes, or `None` if the plugin has no HTTP routes. The loader registers the blueprint at the `api_prefix` from the manifest.

```python
from flask import Blueprint
from .api import computers_bp

class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_blueprint(self):
        return computers_bp
```

### `get_models() -> List[Type]`

Returns the SQLAlchemy model classes the plugin defines. Used by the migration runner and admin tooling.

```python
from .models import Computer, ComputerSoftware

class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_models(self):
        return [Computer, ComputerSoftware]
```

## Optional hooks

### `init_app(app, db) -> None`

Custom initialization. Called by the loader after the blueprint is registered and models are known. Use for Marshmallow schema registration, Caching configuration, secondary blueprint registration, or anything else the plugin needs.

```python
class PrintersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def init_app(self, app, db):
        from .api import printers_legacy_bp
        app.register_blueprint(printers_legacy_bp, url_prefix='/api/printers/legacy')
```

### `get_cli_commands() -> List`

Returns a list of Click commands or command groups to register on the Flask CLI.

```python
import click

@click.group()
def computers_cli():
    pass

@computers_cli.command()
def reset_computers():
    """Reset all computer status flags."""
    ...

class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_cli_commands(self):
        return [computers_cli]
```

### `get_services() -> Dict[str, Type]`

Returns a dict of service-name to service-class. Another plugin obtains one via
`plugin_manager.get_service('<name>')`, which searches enabled plugins and
returns the registered class/factory (or None).

```python
from .services import ZabbixService

class PrintersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_services(self):
        return {'zabbix': ZabbixService}
```

### `get_dashboard_widgets() -> List[Dict]`

Returns dashboard card definitions for the home page.

A card declares DATA AND SHAPE, never a component name. Core owns a small set of
generic renderers and draws the card; the plugin says what to show, where it
comes from, and how to link it.

**Changed in contract 0.19.0.** The previous shape named a Vue component per
widget (`'component': 'NotificationsWidget'`). That cannot survive a lean build,
because a plugin's component may never be staged into the frontend bundle
(ADR-013), and in practice five plugins declared widgets pointing at components
nobody had written - so they rendered as nothing. A card using the old shape is
ignored. This is the same correction ADR-010 already made for asset panels.

```python
class GeEnforcePlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_dashboard_widgets(self):
        return [{
            'id': 'geenforce-failures',       # stable, unique across plugins
            'title': 'Enforcement failures',
            'endpoint': '/api/geenforce/dashboard/failures',
            'render': 'exceptions',           # a core renderer, not a component
            'severity': 'critical',           # orders cards on the page
            'permission': 'geenforce.manage', # hidden without it
            'empty': 'hide',                  # say nothing when there is nothing
            'position': 10,
            'viewall': '/geenforce',          # optional link behind the heading
            'map': {'title': 'hostname', 'detail': 'entryname'},
        }]
```

`empty: 'hide'` is not cosmetic. A card that reports "nothing wrong" every day
teaches people to stop reading the page.

Consumed by `GET /api/dashboard/widgets`, which merges widgets from all enabled
plugins sorted by `position` (disabled plugins are skipped; a broken plugin is
isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test).

### `get_navigation_items() -> List[Dict]`

Returns navigation menu items. A plugin owns its own sidebar entry here, so it
appears when the plugin is installed and disappears when it is not (including in
a lean per-site build that omits the plugin).

```python
class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_navigation_items(self):
        return [{
            'name': 'Computers',
            'icon': 'desktop',
            'route': '/computers',
            'position': 10,
        }]
```

**Placement.** `position` (int) sets both the sort order and which section the
item lands in - the core sidebar (`AppLayout.vue:buildNavItems`) assigns section
headers by position range:

| `position` | section |
|-----------|---------|
| `< 10` | top, above any header (Dashboard is 0, Map is 4) |
| `10-29` | **Assets** |
| `30-49` | **Information** |
| `>= 50` | trailing, below Information |

Lower number sorts higher within a section. An explicit `'section':
'information'` forces the Information group regardless of position. Only these
two named sections exist; a new section needs a core edit to `buildNavItems`.
The **Displays** group (kiosk/TV links) is hardcoded in `AppLayout.vue`, not
plugin-driven.

`icon` is a string key mapped to a Lucide component core-side (same idea as
`get_settings_cards`); an unknown key renders with no icon.

> Removed in contract 0.4.0: `get_searchable_fields`. Global search
> (`/api/search`) is a core concern that queries the asset model directly and
> already covers every bundled asset type; no plugin ever implemented the hook.
> Search honors runtime plugin enable/disable.

### `get_reports() -> List[Dict]`

Returns report card definitions for the Reports hub. Added in contract 0.6.0.

Each entry has `id`, `name`, `description`, `category`, plus EXACTLY ONE of
`route` (a frontend path for a dedicated report page) or `endpoint` (an API
endpoint the hub renders inline).

```python
class WarrantyPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_reports(self):
        return [{
            'id': 'warranty',
            'name': 'Warranty Report',
            'description': 'Assets bucketed by coverage: expired, expiring soon, active',
            'category': 'warranty',
            'route': '/reports/warranty',
        }]
```

Consumed by `GET /api/reports`, which merges plugin cards after the static core
reports sorted into category groups by the frontend (disabled plugins are
skipped; a broken plugin is isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test).

### `get_permissions() -> List`

Returns the RBAC permissions this plugin owns. Added in contract 0.10.0. A
plugin declares the permission names its own routes enforce via
`require_permission`, instead of core accumulating every plugin's permissions in
one catalog (plugin-is-the-product).

Each entry is a `(name, description, category)` tuple, matching the core
permission catalog shape (dicts with those keys are also accepted). Names follow
the naming convention (lowercase dotted, e.g. `machines.edit`).

```python
class MachinesPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_permissions(self):
        return [
            ('machines.view', 'View machines', 'machines'),
            ('machines.create', 'Create machines', 'machines'),
            ('machines.edit', 'Edit machines', 'machines'),
            ('machines.delete', 'Delete machines', 'machines'),
        ]
```

Consumed by the core helper `full_permission_catalog()` (core permissions plus
every ENABLED plugin's `get_permissions()`), which backs three consumers:

- `flask seed permissions` seeds the full catalog.
- The role-management grid (`GET /api/users/permissions`) lists it, grouped by
  category.
- API-token scope validation (`ApiToken.unknown_scope_names`) accepts a plugin
  permission as a scope only while that plugin is enabled.

Plugin install and enable also seed the plugin's own permissions idempotently,
so enabling a fresh plugin creates its `Permission` rows without a separate seed
pass.

Disabled-plugin edge case: a disabled plugin is skipped by the catalog, so its
permissions are no longer offered for new scope grants or new role assignments.
The `Permission` ROWS already in the database are NOT deleted, so roles that
already reference them keep working until an admin edits the role. A broken
plugin is isolated in prod and re-raised in dev/test.

### `get_settings_cards() -> List[Dict]`

Returns settings-catalog card definitions. Added in contract 0.7.0 (ADR-010).
Each card is merged into the settings rail and landing overview without the
plugin hand-editing the core `settingsNav.js` catalog. `icon` is a string key
mapped to a Lucide component core-side, exactly like `get_navigation_items`.

```python
class MeasuringToolsPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_settings_cards(self):
        return [{
            'group': 'Measuring Tools',        # rail group title (created if new)
            'to': '/settings/measuringtooltypes',
            'icon': 'ruler',                   # string key, mapped core-side
            'title': 'Measuring Tool Types',
            'description': 'Manage measuring-tool subtypes + map colors',
            'position': 22,                    # order within the group
        }]
```

Consumed by `GET /api/pluginui/settings-cards`, which merges enabled plugins'
cards into the core catalog (disabled plugins are skipped; a broken plugin is
isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test).

### `get_asset_panels() -> List[Dict]`

Returns asset-detail extension-panel definitions. Added in contract 0.7.0
(ADR-010). A generic core `AssetPanel` component renders each panel on the
matching detail pages, fetching the panel's `endpoint`. This replaces
hand-composing a plugin panel component into each detail view.

```python
class WarrantyPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_asset_panels(self):
        return [{
            'id': 'warranty',
            'title': 'Warranty',
            'assettypes': ['*'],               # detail pages it appears on; ['*'] = all
            'endpoint': '/api/warranty/asset/{assetid}',
            'render': 'table',                 # 'keyvalue' | 'table' | 'badge'
            'position': 30,
        }]
```

Consumed by `GET /api/pluginui/asset-panels?assetid=<id>`, which returns the
panels whose `assettypes` match that asset's type (disabled plugins skipped;
broken plugin isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test). A panel that needs
bespoke UI (a chart) is out of scope for this data-only hook.

### `get_map_overlays() -> List[Dict]`

Returns shop-floor map overlay/decoration definitions. Added in contract 0.7.0
(ADR-010). The map stays data-driven off asset types + positions; an overlay
adds decoration data (a badge or ring) plus an optional legend entry, with no
plugin-side map code.

```python
class MeasuringToolsPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_map_overlays(self):
        return [{
            'id': 'calibration-due',
            'label': 'Calibration due',        # legend label
            'endpoint': '/api/measuringtools/map-overlay',  # -> [{assetid, color, label}]
            'style': 'badge',                  # 'badge' | 'ring'
            'legend': True,
        }]
```

Consumed by `GET /api/pluginui/map-overlays` (disabled plugins skipped; broken
plugin isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test).

An overlay keys on `assetid` and never on coordinates, so it needs to know
nothing about buildings or levels (ADR-017): it decorates whichever marker that
asset already has, on whatever level that marker is on. Do not return `mapx` /
`mapy` / `levelid` from an overlay endpoint - a position belongs to the asset,
and a second copy of it in an overlay is one that can disagree.

### `get_asset_presentation() -> List[Dict]`

Returns asset-type presentation/routing definitions. Added in contract 0.7.0
(ADR-010). Declares how a plugin-owned asset type renders in global-search rows
and cross-links (which icon, which detail route), so core never hardcodes a
plugin's route or icon.

```python
class MeasuringToolsPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_asset_presentation(self):
        return [{
            'assettype': 'measuring_tool',     # AssetType.assettype key the plugin owns
            'icon': 'ruler',
            'label': 'Measuring Tool',
            'route': '/measuringtools/{assetid}',
        }]
```

Consumed by `GET /api/pluginui/asset-presentation` (disabled plugins skipped;
broken plugin isolated in prod, re-raised in dev/test).

### `get_provisioning_note() -> Optional[Dict]`

Transparency note the setup wizard shows the moment a site checks this plugin
during setup. Return `None` (the default) for plugins that need no special
setup. Plugins that create extra tables beyond their asset-extension table
(e.g. a self-hosted directory) return:

```python
class EmployeesPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_provisioning_note(self):
        return {
            'tables': ['directoryemployees'],
            'note': 'Creates a local employee directory table in the shopdb database.',
            'docs': 'plugins/employees/README.md',
        }
```

### `get_config_schema() -> List[Dict]`

Declares the config fields this plugin needs, so the setup wizard can prompt
for them. Return `[]` (the default) if the plugin needs no configuration.
Each field is a dict:

| Key | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| `key` | the Setting key (non-secret) it maps to |
| `label` | human label shown in the wizard |
| `type` | `'text'` / `'number'` / `'password'` |
| `secret` | `True` for credentials; NOT stored in the DB - the wizard emits an `.env` line for the operator instead |
| `envvar` | (secret only) the `.env` variable name to emit |
| `default` | optional placeholder |
| `help` | optional hint |

```python
class PrintersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_config_schema(self):
        return [
            {'key': 'zabbix_url', 'label': 'Zabbix URL', 'type': 'text',
             'help': 'Base URL of the Zabbix server for supply lookups'},
            {'key': 'zabbix_token', 'label': 'Zabbix API token', 'type': 'password',
             'secret': True, 'envvar': 'ZABBIX_TOKEN'},
        ]
```

### `get_settings_defaults() -> List[Dict]` (0.16.0)

Declares the `Setting` rows this plugin owns. Return `[]` (the default) if it
owns none. Each entry is a dict:

| Key | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| `key` | the Setting key |
| `value` | default value in string form |
| `valuetype` | `'string'` / `'boolean'` / `'integer'` / `'json'` |
| `category` | grouping the plugin's settings page filters on |
| `description` | what the setting does |
| `public` | `True` if an unauthenticated caller may read it; default `False` |

```python
class PrintedpartsPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_settings_defaults(self):
        return [
            {'key': 'printedparts_label_prefix', 'value': '', 'valuetype': 'string',
             'category': 'printedparts', 'public': True,
             'description': 'Leading text on the physical labels, shown at the kiosk'},
        ]
```

The framework seeds declared keys at install, at enable, and on every
`flask plugin upgrade-all`, so a key added in a later plugin version reaches a
site that installed an earlier one. Existing values are never overwritten.

Declaring a key is also what tells the settings API which category and type to
use when an admin's save creates the row for the first time. Do not seed
settings by hand in `on_install` / `on_enable`: those hooks fire only on a state
transition, so a hand-seeded key added later never reaches an existing site, and
the row the first save creates lands in the placeholder `plugin` category where
the plugin's own settings page (which filters by category) cannot see it.

`public: True` puts the key on the unauthenticated read allowlist of
`GET /api/settings/<key>` and `GET /api/settings`. Use it only for cosmetic
values that a page rendering before login needs (a kiosk, a print page). Never
mark a credential, a hostname, or an integration URL public.

### `get_collector_schema() -> Optional[Dict]`

Declares the JSON Schema for an external collector pushing to `/api/collector/<pluginname>`. See [ADR-006](../docs/adr/ADR-006-collector-contract.md) for the contract.

```python
class ComputersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def get_collector_schema(self):
        return {
            'identityfield': 'hostname',
            'fields': {
                'hostname': {'type': 'string', 'required': True},
                'macaddress': {'type': 'string'},
                'osname': {'type': 'string'},
                'osversion': {'type': 'string'},
                'currentuser': {'type': 'string'},
                'ipaddress': {'type': 'string'},
            }
        }
```

If the hook returns `None` (the default), no collector endpoint is registered.

### `apply_collector_payload(payload: Dict) -> Dict`

Companion to `get_collector_schema` (ADR-006). The generic
`/api/collector/<pluginname>` endpoint calls this after the payload passes
identity validation, to idempotently upsert an asset. Return a dict with at
least `action` (`created` | `updated` | `noop`), `assetid`, and `warnings`
(list).

This is a CONDITIONAL hook: it is only required when `get_collector_schema`
returns non-None. The BasePlugin default raises `NotImplementedError` (the
dispatcher turns that into a 500), so a plugin that declares a schema but
forgets the upsert fails loud. Plugins with no collector schema never need it.
The `test_schema_declaring_plugins_implement_apply` contract test enforces the
pairing.

```python
def apply_collector_payload(self, payload):
    host = payload['hostname']
    comp = Computer.query.filter(Computer.hostname.ilike(host)).first()
    action = 'updated' if comp else 'created'
    # ... create-or-update Asset + extension ...
    db.session.commit()
    return {'action': action, 'assetid': comp.assetid, 'warnings': []}
```

## Lifecycle hooks

These run when the plugin's installation state changes. All optional.

| Hook | When | Use case |
|------|------|----------|
| `on_install(app)` | First time the plugin is installed via `flask plugin install` | Seed reference data, run plugin-specific migrations, register webhooks |
| `on_uninstall(app)` | When the plugin is removed via `flask plugin uninstall` | Clean up reference data, deregister webhooks |
| `on_enable(app)` | When the plugin is enabled at runtime | Subscribe to events, warm caches |
| `on_disable(app)` | When the plugin is disabled at runtime | Unsubscribe, drain queues |

## The import surface (`shopdb.api`)

`shopdb.api` is the ONLY core module a plugin may import from (besides
`shopdb.plugins.base` for `BasePlugin` / `PluginMeta`). Importing internal
paths like `shopdb.core.models.*`, `shopdb.extensions`, or `shopdb.utils.*`
is a contract violation and fails the test
`tests/test_plugin_contract.py::test_plugins_only_import_contract_surface`.

What `shopdb.api` exposes:

- Infrastructure: `db`, `cache`
- Model bases: `BaseModel`, `AuditMixin`
- Core models: `Asset`, `AssetType`, `AssetStatus`, `Vendor`, `Model`,
  `Communication`, `CommunicationType`, `Location`, `Setting`, `AuditLog`,
  `Application`, `AppVersion`, `OperatingSystem`, `AssetRelationship`,
  `RelationshipType`
- Responses: `success_response`, `error_response`, `paginated_response`,
  `ErrorCodes`
- Pagination: `get_pagination_params`, `paginate_query`
- Authorization: `require_permission`, `require_role`,
  `service_token_authorized`
  (`service_token_authorized(scope)` returns True when the request carries a
  managed service token scoped for `scope` whose owner holds that permission -
  for unattended plugin endpoints like the GE-Enforce fetch API)
- `authorized_service_token(scope)` (0.15.0) - same check as
  `service_token_authorized` but returns the `ApiToken` itself (or None), so a
  plugin can honor the token's optional resource binding
  (`token.resourcescopelist`: an allowlist of resource names the token may
  reach, NULL = unrestricted). GE-Enforce uses it to pin a display's fetch
  token to its own manifest scope + that scope's blobs.
- Helpers: `audit_log`, `resolve_asset_position`, `resolve_dualpath_pairs`,
  `dualpath_single_machine_enabled`
- Import mode: `apply_import_timestamps`, `import_mode_active`,
  `parse_import_datetime`
- Legacy employee directory: `employee_connection`
- CMMC USB check-in/out DB (read-write, used by the usb plugin):
  `cmmc_usb_connection`
- `User` / `Role` (0.13.0) - the account and role models, e.g. resolving
  alert recipients' emails from selected user ids or role membership
- `SupportTeam` (0.15.0) - the support-team model (carries a `webhookurl`), so
  an alerting plugin can route a notification to a chosen team's Teams webhook
- Mailer (0.12.0): `send_email(to, subject, html, text=None)` and
  `send_alert(subject, html, text=None)` - settings-first, no-op safe when
  email is unconfigured; send_alert targets the site's alert_recipients
- `send_webhook(title, text)` (0.14.0) - POST an alert to the configured
  `alert_webhook_url` (Teams Incoming Webhook / Workflow, or generic JSON via
  the `alert_webhook_format` setting); best-effort, no-op when unset.
  `send_alert` fans out to this automatically alongside email.

```python
from shopdb.api import db, Asset, AssetType, success_response, paginate_query
```

Adding a name to `shopdb.api` is an additive (minor) contract bump; removing
one is breaking (major). See ADR-002.

## Helpers exposed to plugins

The framework provides helper APIs in `shopdb.api` (the public namespace).

### Audit logging

```python
from shopdb.api import audit_log

audit_log(
    action='created',
    entitytype='Computer',
    entityid=computer.assetid,
    entityname=computer.hostname,
    changes={'before': {}, 'after': computer.to_dict()},
)
```

### Plugin-scoped settings

```python
class PrintersPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def init_app(self, app, db):
        zabbix_url = self.get_setting('zabbix_url')
        if not zabbix_url:
            self.set_setting('zabbix_url', 'http://zabbix.example.com')
```

Settings persist to the core `Setting` model and survive restarts.

### Position resolution

```python
from shopdb.api import resolve_asset_position

position = resolve_asset_position(asset)
# Returns dict: {'mapx': 234, 'mapy': 567, 'positionsource': 'self' | 'related' | 'location' | None}
```

See [ADR-001](../docs/adr/ADR-001-asset-as-platform-contract.md) for the position resolution algorithm.

### Dualpath single-machine collapse

A Dualpath relationship pair is one physical dual-bay machine recorded as two
asset rows. When the site setting `dualpath_single_machine` is on (default), the
machines list, dashboard/report counts, and the floor map show the pair as a
single machine (the SECONDARY bay is hidden); the data model always keeps both
rows and detail pages stay per-bay.

```python
from shopdb.api import resolve_dualpath_pairs, dualpath_single_machine_enabled

collapse = resolve_dualpath_pairs()
# collapse.secondaryassetids: set of the non-primary bay asset ids to hide
# collapse.partnerbyasset: {assetid -> {'assetid', 'assetnumber'}} for every
#                          pair member (primary and secondary), for banners

if dualpath_single_machine_enabled():
    # exclude the hidden bays and annotate the visible (primary) bay
    ...
```

PRIMARY is the pair member with the lower natural-sort assetnumber.
`resolve_dualpath_pairs` ignores the toggle (so a detail-page sibling banner can
show always); gate the collapse itself on `dualpath_single_machine_enabled()`.

### Import mode (legacy timestamp passthrough)

Bulk imports from the classic ASP shopdb need to preserve each row's original
`createddate` / `modifieddate` instead of stamping "now". `apply_import_timestamps`
does this, gated so it never affects normal traffic: it only acts when the
caller is an admin AND sent the `X-Import-Mode: true` request header.

```python
from shopdb.api import apply_import_timestamps

asset = Asset(assetnumber=data['assetnumber'], ...)
db.session.add(asset)
# In import mode, stamp legacy createddate/modifieddate from the payload.
# No-op for normal callers, or when the payload omits the fields.
apply_import_timestamps(asset, data)
db.session.commit()
```

`import_mode_active()` returns the same admin-plus-header predicate, for guarding
other backdated behavior (for example accepting a historical `checkouttime`).
`parse_import_datetime(value)` parses both ISO `2020-01-05T12:00:00` and legacy
`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` into naive UTC. See [docs/IMPORT-API.md](IMPORT-API.md) for
the full migration operator manual.

## Removed hooks

The following hooks existed in early drafts and have been removed for v1:

| Hook | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `get_event_handlers` | Event bus deferred indefinitely. No real use case yet. Add via new ADR if needed. |

## Versioning your changes

When you change anything documented here, you must:

1. Bump `__contract_version__` per [ADR-002](../docs/adr/ADR-002-plugin-versioning.md): major for removals or signature changes, minor for additive optional hooks, patch for docs.
2. Update [ADR-001](../docs/adr/ADR-001-asset-as-platform-contract.md) if the contract surface itself changed (or supersede with a new ADR).
3. Add or update the test in `tests/test_plugin_contract.py` that asserts the new behavior.

The skill `defining-asset-contract` walks through the full checklist.
