   • 1-click LAUNCH (instant 0ms switch to workspace/overlay) and INSTALL.
   • Segmented filter counters: ALL, INSTALLED, UPDATES, NOT INSTALLED.

🧩 Building a Plugin for FryWorld

1. Create a .NET 10 class library that references the SDK, and give it a plugin.json:

   <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
     <PropertyGroup>
       <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
       <Version>1.0.0</Version>
     </PropertyGroup>
     <ItemGroup>
       <PackageReference Include="FryWorld.Sdk" Version="0.1.0" />
     </ItemGroup>
   </Project>

   { "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codefrydev/FryWorld/main/src/FryWorld.Sdk/plugin.schema.json",
     "id": "com.example.mystudio", "name": "My Studio" }

2. Subclass FryPluginBase and register pages, overlays and commands in ApplyAsync. Use IShellService to open them and ctx.GetPluginSettings() for settings.

3. Run dotnet build -c Release. It produces bin/Release/net10.0/<AssemblyName>.fryplugin, ready to drop into the plugins folder or publish. Use FryRunner.Configure<TPlugin>() to run the plugin on its own, and FryPluginTestHost to unit-test it.

See the SDK README for the full guide, and docs/sdk for concepts, authoring and the compatibility policy.
