6// `RouteDispatchPlan` + `DispatchCache` — pre-resolved per-route plugin
7// lineup that lets APL bypass cpex-core's hook-name + condition routing
8// while still going through the executor's full 5-phase pipeline.
9//
10// # Why pre-resolve?
11//
12// cpex-core's `invoke_named(hook_name, ...)` resolves the lineup on
13// every call: hook lookup → route/condition filter → group by mode →
14// dispatch. APL routes are already authoritative lineups (the YAML's
15// `routes.<r>.policy: [plugin(x), plugin(y)]` IS the plan). Re-resolving
16// per call wastes work and lets cpex-core's parallel routing model
17// (entity-based conditions) override APL's intent.
18//
19// Building once per `(route_key, snapshot_generation)` and caching turns
20// dispatch into: cache lookup → pick handler by invocation context →
21// call `manager.invoke_entries::<CmfHook>(&[entry], ...)`.
22//
23// # Override materialization
24//
25// When APL declares a route-level `plugins.<name>:` block that narrows
26// `capabilities` or changes `on_error`, the plan creates a derived
27// `PluginRef` wrapping the same plugin `Arc<dyn Plugin>` with a merged
28// `TrustedConfig`. Per `feedback_override_isolation.md`: each derived
29// PluginRef gets a fresh `AtomicBool` circuit breaker — failures in the
30// override-context plugin don't disable the base, and vice versa.
31//
32// # Hook-context classification (v0)
33//
34// A plugin may register handlers for multiple hooks (e.g. both
35// `cmf.tool_pre_invoke` for policy steps and `cmf.field_redact` for
36// args/result pipelines). The plan picks one handler per invocation
37// context (Step vs Field) by a naming heuristic — hook names containing
38// `field`, `redact`, `scan`, or `validate` are treated as field
39// handlers. When the heuristic stops being sufficient, the plugin
40// declaration will gain an explicit `{step: ..., field: ...}` mapping
41// form alongside the flat hook list.
