+files (texts, tests, schemas, fixtures). Two names are blessed by
+convention so consumers know where to look without grepping:
+
+- **`text.ts`** holds the extension's externalised user-facing
+  strings (the `tx()`-fed templates, error messages, glyph labels).
+  One per extension; imported by `index.ts` as `./text.js`. Keeps
+  copy out of the code path and makes the surface review-friendly.
+  Plain TS module, no schema, no codegen.
+- **`<extension-name>.test.ts`** (or `.test.mjs` / `.test.js`) is
+  the colocated test suite. Picked up by the workspace's test glob
+  (`plugins/**/*.test.ts`); no separate test directory.
+
+Both files are optional. The kernel ignores everything that isn't
+`index.{js,mjs,ts}`, so future per-extension fixtures, schemas, or
+conformance scopes can live in the same folder without manifest
+plumbing.

-| `['skill', 'agent']` | Runs on skills + agents. Hooks, commands, notes are skipped. |
-| `[]` | **Invalid.** AJV rejects the manifest at load time (`minItems: 1`). The absence of the field already means "every kind"; an empty array is reserved for "this is a typo". |
