Test and troubleshoot

A successful build proves that the project compiles. A releasable plugin must also install, pass compatibility and permission checks, activate, preserve the right state, and behave correctly in its supported Phials contexts.

• Run your plugin locally establishes a repeatable install, rebuild, reload, restart, and persistence workflow.
• Test and validate your plugin covers source checks, logic and interface tests, release-artifact validation, permissions, and compatibility.
• Debug plugin failures starts from visible symptoms and works through the least-cost checks for loading, capabilities, rendering, permissions, and data.
