+ * _legacy/plugin-base once the last code node (postgres-toolkit) did, and everything
+ * in-repo that still speaks the plugin protocol — packages/marketplace, the server's
+ * component runtime — imports from here. The PUBLISHED @unoverse-platform/plugin-base
+ * stays on npm, frozen, for externally installed plugins; the loader still names it by
+ * that string.
+ *
+ * A FAITHFUL transcription, including its loosest part: plugin-base's own index exported
+ * `export type EnhancedNodeDefinition = any` (and friends) as LOCAL declarations, which
+ * SHADOW its `export * from "./types"` star export — so every consumer's "typed" imports
+ * were `any` all along. The aliases below reproduce that, rather than pretending the old

+# plugins/ — LEGACY. Nothing new goes here.
+
+This folder loads **JavaScript** nodes: a package with a `src/`, a `setup(api)` call, and
+classes extending `PromiseNode` or `CallbackNode`. Every node becomes a YAML manifest
+(`../manifests/`), so this whole folder is scheduled for deletion.
+
+**Do not add to it. Do not tidy it. Do not move it.** Work spent here is work spent twice.
+
+## What is still holding it open
+
+17 packages still ship `src/`. Most are vendor integrations and are pure migration work,
+but three are platform capability and are why this cannot simply be switched off:
+
+| Package | Why it matters |
+|---|---|
+| `flow` | `IfElse`, `LoopStart`, `LoopEnd`, `Code`, `Context`, `FieldValidator`. **Control flow.** Deleting this folder today breaks every workflow with a loop or a condition |
+| `ingest` | the content pipeline (document parsing, sheets, connectors) |
+| `spatial` | `SpatialSearch` |
+
+Two of the remaining ones also need the executor to grow first
+(`DECLARATIVE_NODES.md` §10): a socket transport with audio framing for `openai-realtime`
+and the streaming half of `elevenlabs`, and catalog matching for the hubspot and salesforce
+attribute pull. Everything else is conversion, not invention.
+
+## The folder is two jobs, dying on two timelines
+
+```
+discovery.ts  loader.ts  redis.ts  state.ts   ← code-node loading. Dies with the last src/ package
+```
+
+**The npm half is GONE.** `install.ts` and `startup.ts` are deleted, and with them
+`CORE_PACKAGES` — the boot step that installed `@unoverse-platform/marketplace` so the
+design system could resolve out of that package. `013_items.sql` said where it was going:
+"Installing something from the marketplace is an INSERT... no npm, no image, no rsync, no
+restart." Rows replaced npm for content exactly as manifests replaced code for nodes, and
+MARKETPLACE.md §5 is now the whole story — a universe fetches from the marketplace URL at
+install time and writes a row.
+
+The last traces went with it (2026-08-30): `apps/unoverse` no longer declares
+`@unoverse-platform/marketplace` as a dependency (nothing ever imported it — the only
+mention was a string label), and `definitions/registry/homes.ts` no longer lists the
+`PLUGINS_DIR/node_modules/...` bundle as a candidate. The core platform has no
+relationship with the marketplace package at all; it talks to the marketplace over HTTP.
+
+What remains here is one job, not two: loading code nodes.
+
+## How it ends
+
+No flag day. Each package that converts to YAML removes one reason for this folder to exist.
+When no package ships `src/`, delete `discovery.ts`, `loader.ts`, `redis.ts` and
+`../pluginBase.ts`. When installs are rows, delete the rest and the folder with it.
+
+The two Vite warnings a developer sees when starting Studio come from `discovery.ts` and
+`loader.ts` (dynamic `import()` of a package by name). They are correct, they are
+unfixable while this folder exists, and they leave when it does.
+
+See `docs/architecture/DECLARATIVE_NODES.md` §7a and §10.
