Plugin hook loading drops an internal "surface" tag while gaining a new unused parameter

What

The internal function that loads plugin hooks was given a new parameter that now feeds into the manifest-dependency resolver, where previously nothing was passed. At the same time, hook module records built while loading hooks.json and manifest hooks no longer carry a surface field that was previously attached to them.

Why

The finding does not say what consumed the surface field or what the new parameter is for, so the practical effect on plugin behavior isn't established here.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt isn't clear what the removed `surface` field was used for or what effect the new parameter has on plugin hook loading.
