## Discussed Topics

### Plugin example tests

- new repo: `nu-plugin-example`
- has CI
- plugin protocol tests use some of the plugins
- primarily: `nu_plugin_example` and `nu_plugin_custom_values`
- Relevant for several edge cases of the plugin protocol
- Chicken egg problem for CI
- how do we get a compilable correct plugin to test nushell/nushell
- favors monorepo
- Orthogonal idea for plugins in the main repo
- move them into a separate from `crates`: `plugins` (set it up correctly in the cargo workspace)
- Conclusion
- keep example and custom_value in the main repo for testing
- Piepmatz wants to prep a `plugin` folder in the main repo for all the plugins (production (like polars) and testing related)
- Addtional CI challenges
- non-blocking CI job on the PR (or run it after merge into main) to check nu-plugin-example repo to ensure that we keep track of breaking changes and bit rot

### Plugin version stability/checking
- serialization stability
- crate stability (semver compatible)
