+Keep the released **TaskChef** plugin and a separate **TaskChef Dev** plugin.
+The development copy must already use the plugin ID `taskchef-next`.
+Before installing it through a local marketplace, run:

+```sh
+node scripts/prepare-mcp-app-preview.js /path/to/staging/plugin

+normalizes its MCP server key to `taskchef-next`. It refuses release manifests. The sidebar tool reads its

+Do not register a standalone preview MCP server alongside these two plugins.
