+Each plugin gets a **config textarea** on the Plugins page. The raw text is passed as-is to `on_config(config_text)`. Parse it however you like (line by line, key=value, JSON, etc.).
+
+`on_config` is called once at startup (before `on_start`) and again every time the user saves the config in the UI.
 
 ## Sync vs async
 
-- **`sync = true`**: spilltea waits for the hook to return before continuing. For `on_request`/`on_response` this blocks the proxy goroutine; the hook can return one of the values below.
+- **`sync = true`**: spilltea waits for the hook to return before continuing. The hook can return a decision value (see below).
-- **`sync = false`** (or omitted for supported hooks): the hook runs in a background goroutine. Return values are ignored. Use this for analysis and findings.
+- **`sync = false`** (default): the hook runs in a background goroutine. Return values are ignored.
 
-### Return values for `on_request` and `on_response` (sync only)
+### Return values for sync hooks
+
+**`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. |
 
-The `sync` declaration is only meaningful for `on_request` and `on_response`. The other hooks have fixed behaviour:
+**`on_history_entry` (sync only):**
 
-- `on_start` is **always synchronous**: plugins are initialised one by one before the first request is accepted.
+| Return value        | Effect                                 |
-- `on_quit` is **always synchronous**: the app waits for all `on_quit` hooks before exiting.
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
-- `on_history_entry` is **always asynchronous**.
+| `"skip"`            | The entry is not saved to the DB.      |
+| `"keep"` or `nil`   | The entry is saved normally.           |
 
-> A sync `on_request` or `on_response` hook that hangs will block traffic for that flow. There is no automatic timeout.
+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.
+
+```lua
+Plugin = {
+  name     = "Scopes",
+  priority = 100,  -- runs before all default-priority plugins
+  ...
+}
+```
