The API has one set of consumers and no outside users, so declaring 1.0.0
with a stability guarantee was premature. Until 1.0.0 any minor bump may
reshape the API; the written guarantee starts there. Plugins pin 0.1.0.
install.sh places the package in a version independent directory under
XDG_DATA_HOME instead of site-packages, which would be orphaned the day
the distribution moves to a new Python. It verifies the package imports
before reporting success, and warns when the pre-split extension is still
installed alongside it.
pyproject.toml makes pip install --user an equally valid route; the
bootstrap in each plugin finds the package either way.
examples/nemoRepoLastCommit.py is a complete working plugin in sixty
lines, which is the point of the split.
