### Hook reference
| Hook | When called | Sync/async | Return value |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `on_config()` | At startup and on config save | always sync | ignored |
| `on_start()` | Once at startup, after `on_config` | configurable | `false` to self-disable the plugin, otherwise ignored |
| `on_quit()` | When the app exits | always sync | ignored |
| `on_request(req)` | Every request, before auto-forward | configurable | `"drop"`, `"forward"`, or `nil` (sync only) |
| `on_response(req, res)` | Every response | configurable | `"drop"`, `"forward"`, or `nil` (sync only) |
| `on_history_entry(entry)` | Sync: before DB insert / Async: after | configurable | `"skip"` (don't save), `"keep"` or `nil` (save) -- sync only |

### Finding deduplication
A finding is identified by `(plugin_name, key)`. If a finding with that pair already exists in the database it will **not** be re-created, even across restarts. If the user **dismisses** a finding it is permanently hidden and will never reappear, even if the plugin generates it again.

## Configuration
Plugin configuration is stored in a `plugins.yaml` file alongside the project database. Each plugin has an `enable` toggle and an optional `config` block (arbitrary YAML).
Plugin configuration is stored in a `plugins.yaml` file alongside the project database.
Each plugin is keyed by its filename (without the `.lua` extension) and has an `enable` toggle and an optional `config` block (arbitrary YAML).
```yaml
plugins:
my_plugin:
enable: true
config: |
some_key: some_value
list:
- item1
- item2
other_plugin:
enable: false
my_plugin:
enable: true
config:
some_key: some_value
list:
- item1
- item2
other_plugin:
enable: false
```
The config block is edited from the **Plugins** page in the TUI. Inside a plugin, call `get_config()` to retrieve the config as a Lua table.

`on_config()` is called once at startup (before `on_start`) and again every time the user saves the config in the TUI. It is the right place to read `get_config()` and populate local variables.

### Return values for sync hooks
**`on_start`:**
| Return value | Effect |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `false` | The plugin is disabled immediately and the state is persisted (equivalent to toggling it off). |
| anything else | Ignored. |
This is useful for prerequisite checks (binary not found, config invalid, etc.) so the plugin does not silently run in a broken state:
```lua
function on_start()
local h = io.popen("command -v mytool 2>/dev/null")
local result = h and h:read("*a") or ""
if h then h:close() end
if result:match("^%s*$") then
notif("MyPlugin", "mytool not found, plugin disabled", "error")
return false
end
end
```
**`on_request` and `on_response`:**
| Return value | Effect |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `"drop"` | The flow is dropped immediately and never shown in the intercept panel. |
| `"forward"` | The flow is forwarded immediately without going through the intercept panel. |
| `nil` | Normal behaviour: the flow appears in the intercept panel for the user to decide. |
**`on_history_entry` (sync only):**
| Return value | Effect |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `"skip"` | The entry is not saved to the DB. |
| `"keep"` or `nil` | The entry is saved normally. |
Sync `on_history_entry` runs **before** the DB insert, so it can prevent an entry from ever appearing in history. Async `on_history_entry` runs **after** the insert and cannot affect it.

## Priority
Plugins with a higher `priority` value run before plugins with a lower value (default `0`). This matters for sync hooks that return a decision: the first plugin to return a non-nil value short-circuits the remaining plugins.
