lib/plugin/manifest.sh reads a manifest through tomllib into
keyvalue facts (plugin_fact, plugin_keys,
plugin_named), accepting both [plugin] and bare top-level
keys the way the QML registry does. lib/plugin/validate.sh
holds one check per section, all of them run so a single pass
names every fault, and donbox plugin validate <dir> reports
them and exits 1. The rules match
shell/services/logic/PluginManifest.qml (id, kinds, entry
points, widget section) and add existence checks the shell
cannot make: commands.dir, units under units/, MOD+KEY binds
with actions, menu file, theme templates and appliers, hook
events from the design list, migrations dir, settings file, and
no symlink anywhere inside the plugin.

32 assertions in test/shell.d/plugin-validate-test.sh, one per
rule, plus plugins/board validating as shipped (it gained the
version the rules now require).
