plugin cannot destroy data — boot logs the orphans instead. Because the host's copy sits in the
ambient `/node_modules`, a plugin can `import "postgres"` without declaring it — incidental, not a
packaging promise, and a plugin must still depend on its own driver.
- **Plugin settings are declared, not discovered** (README → Plugin settings). `settings.ts` is pure and
takes the env as an argument, so the whole matrix unit-tests without a stack. Four rules carry the
design: the prefix is `PLUGIN_SETTING_`, never bare `PLUGIN_`, because a plugin id `db` with key
`url` would otherwise name the host's own `PLUGIN_DB_URL`; keys are camelCase so the
`camelCase → SNAKE_CASE` mapping is total and no two keys collide, with the residual cross-plugin
collision caught by `findConflicts`; `required` and `default` are mutually exclusive, which is what
lets `SettingsOf` type a declared key as present rather than `T | undefined`, so no plugin author
casts; and a secret's value reaches the plugin but never a log, an error or `ctx.declaredSettings`
— not even as a mask or a length. An author mistake is refused at discovery, a bad operator value
refuses the boot, and a stray `PLUGIN_SETTING_` variable only warns (the orphan-database precedent).
- **The trust boundary is the `web` process, not the plugin.** Per-plugin databases and roles bound
*accidents*, not hostile plugins: `PLUGIN_DB_SECRET` is in `web`'s environment during `onBoot`, and
a plugin already holds `ctx.system`'s Ory admin clients — so cross-plugin DB isolation is
