Go Plugin

A structured plugin registry for Go with deterministic lifecycle management and lightweight discovery helpers.

Features

• Deterministic Registry: Preserve insertion order for predictable startup and shutdown.
• Factory Support: Register deferred constructors for dynamic plugin creation.
• Reflection Discovery: Discover plugin implementations from runtime values.
• Optional Router Integration: Bridge route-providing plugins into go-module-router.
