What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Even with the rollout flag on, the loader filters which plugins may contribute hooks. Two managed settings keys control it: disableAllHooks blocks every plugin, and allowManagedHooksOnly restricts loading to managed plugins.

Details
  • Running with --bare disables hooks entirely.
  • When two plugins share a name, only the first loads: the managed one, or otherwise the one from the earlier source.
  • Every exclusion is logged with the reason it was excluded.
Evidence

only managed plugins run (allowManagedHooksOnly / disableAllHooks)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
