Plugins

Plugins extend the host layer without forcing you to modify route factories directly.

Typical Plugin Use Cases

• intercepting chat requests
• contributing context providers
• adding attachment handling
• reacting to request lifecycle hooks
• running background services with host startup and shutdown

Lifecycle

The host recognizes three main lifecycle callbacks for requests:

• onRequestStart
• onRequestEnd
• onTurnPersisted

Plugins can also expose start and stop hooks for process lifecycle.
