Summary

Formalize a stable, statically linked extension API before attempting dynamic loading.

Why

Blacksite already has editor plugin hooks; a deliberate static API gives future-game extensions a stable path without dylib complexity.

Implementation notes

Define v0 extension traits/capabilities for panels, commands, component metadata, inspectors, and tools.
Document ownership boundaries and non-goals.
Convert existing game/editor extension hooks to dogfood the API.
Keep API semver or migration notes explicit.

Acceptance criteria

External game/editor crates can register panels, commands, and inspector sections through one API.
Existing hooks are migrated or clearly bridged.
API docs include examples and constraints.
Dynamic loading remains out of scope for v0.

Tests/docs

Compile-time example crate or fixture. Update ADR/docs/editor architecture.
