priority

priority
critical

• Separate typed registry per plugin type (ExtractorRegistry, OcrRegistry, etc.)
• Thread safety: Arc<RwLock<>> for all registries
• Priority system: 0-255, default 50, custom > 50, fallback < 50
• Selection: highest priority plugin matching the MIME type wins
• MIME type indexing for O(log n) lookup
• Conflict resolution: if equal priority, prefer Rust-native over FFI plugins
• Dynamic registration: plugins can be added/removed at runtime
• Validate plugin before registration (check trait compliance, supported formats)
