Reference DUAL-PLACEMENT charly plugin — ONE provider, two placements. Its
importable provider package (NewProvider/NewMeta, serving the externalprobe
check verb + its self-contained CUE schema over the SDK Describe channel) is
COMPILED INTO charly when this candy is listed in charly.yml
compiled_plugins: (the default — registered in-process via
registerCompiledPlugin), and the SAME provider is served OUT-OF-PROCESS over
go-plugin gRPC by the cmd/serve shim (host-built + connected via
LocalTransport) when it is NOT selected. The placement is invisible above the
provider registry — the verb dispatches identically either way, with no
authoring change. The companion of the built-in candy/plugin-example; the
out-of-process build/deploy legs are demonstrated by
candy/plugin-example-step / -builder / -deploy / -command.
Acceptance plan
Section titled “Acceptance plan”This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.
| Intent | Step |
|---|---|
check |
the externalprobe verb dispatches through the provider registry and passes — transport-invisible (compiled-in in the default build, out-of-process when not selected); the plugin_input marker round-trips author -> provider -> result |
