//
// `AplRouteHandler` — synthetic plugin that drives APL evaluation when
// cpex-core's `filter_entries_by_route` matches an annotated route. Each
// instance is bound to ONE phase (Pre or Post) so the unified-config
// `cmf.tool_pre_invoke` and `cmf.tool_post_invoke` hooks can carry
// distinct handler logic without an in-handler hook-name discriminator.
//
// # Why a phase-bound handler
//
// The CPEX manager's annotation table is keyed on
// `(entity_type, entity_name, scope, hook_name)`. The visitor registers
// one handler per route per phase; the manager picks the right one based
// on the dispatching hook name. Inside `invoke`, no hook-name plumbing is
// needed — the handler already knows which phase it's running.
//
// # Lifetime / weak manager handle
//
// The handler holds `Weak<PluginManager>` because the manager owns the
// snapshot that owns the annotation that owns the handler — a strong
// reference would create a cycle. Each `invoke` upgrades to `Arc` for
// the duration of the call. If the upgrade fails (manager has been
// dropped) the call returns a configuration error.
