Unreal Plugin And Package Reference

Purpose

Guide plugin/package use without adding hidden runtime dependencies.

Guidance

• Prefer package-manager or marketplace sources that are reviewable in the project.
• Record plugin version, install surface, and rollback risk.
• Avoid requiring plugins for lightweight prototypes unless explicitly justified.

Validation

• Prefer project-local engine commands and Codex Game Studio project validation before readiness claims.
• Record unknown version-specific behavior as a risk instead of presenting it as confirmed.
• Keep this reference selected by relevance; do not load every engine reference for one task.
