📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded a plugin catalog and linked it from the README and plugin author reference. The catalog documents plugin configuration, defaults, build readiness, bypass behavior, failure policies, credential handling, budgeting, brokering, and token exchange. ChangesPlugin Catalog
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The catalog omits that token-broker and token-exchange are mutually exclusive credential replacement mechanisms, which could lead users to configure incompatible options. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to document this constraint. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

In `@authbridge/docs/plugin-catalog.md`:
- Around line 185-197: Update the token-budget catalog entry to document that
enforcement relies on a zero-I/O local cache: after a pod restart, the first
request may pass while the cache is cold, before Redis refresh restores
counters. Clarify that limits are not fail-closed across restarts, consistent
with TokenBudget.Configure rejecting redis_unavailable=fail_closed.
- Around line 204-209: Update the `default_policy` documentation to state that
outbound behavior defaults to `passthrough` and `exchange` applies only to hosts
explicitly configured in `authproxy-routes`; keep the documented policy values
consistent with the repository contract.
- Around line 172-183: Update the token-broker entry in plugin-catalog.md to
document that token-broker and token-exchange are mutually exclusive
alternatives, not complementary plugins, because both replace the outbound
Authorization header and chain order otherwise determines the retained
credential. Align the wording with the contract stated in
token-broker-plugin.md.

| ## `token-broker` | ||
|
|
||
| Exchanges incoming tokens against a configured IdP through an external | ||
| token broker service, per host-based routing rules. | ||
|
|
||
| - `broker_url` (string) — base URL of the token broker service; required. | ||
| - `default_policy` (string) — behavior when no route matches: `passthrough` (default) or `broker`. | ||
| - `routes.file` (string) — path to a `routes.yaml` file; merged with inline rules. | ||
| - `routes.rules` (list) — inline route entries; each has: | ||
| - `host` — glob pattern to match the target host. | ||
| - `action` — `broker` (default) or `passthrough`. | ||
| - `authorization_endpoint` / `token_endpoint` — per-route OAuth endpoint overrides sent to the broker. |

Document the mutual exclusion with token-exchange.
token-broker and token-exchange both replace the outbound Authorization header. If both plugins run on one outbound chain, plugin order determines which credential remains. State that these plugins are alternatives, not complementary plugins.
The opening note in authbridge/docs/token-broker-plugin.md states this contract.

| "Production ready?" reflects whether the plugin is compiled into the | ||

I wonder if we should just change this to something like "Default build?" instead of caveating the definition of "production ready"

Users shouldn't care how we build. I will to change all the "Yes" to "Unknown".

sorry I've become more confused by the update here. If users shouldn't care how we build, is a build-tag column helpful for the catalog?
My read as a user would be: can I expect a plugin to be included by default when I try this component out? I would then expect this answer to be binary yes/no. "unknown" leads to more questions, as in "why would inclusion be unknown?" By the description I assumed it would be one of "default build" or "opt-in", where "separate binary" can always be a separate mechanism?

The column name is "production ready?", which I had intended to mean "good enough -- as good as the released features of Rossoctl." I was hoping by labelling plugins as having "unknown" status it would inspire the plugin authors to object, and create PRs saying they are ready. My feeling was that only the plugins that Rossoctl has been including by default have been tested sufficiently.
For the rest of Rossoctl, we are required to put any new experimental features under a "feature flag". This repo doesn't have feature flags.
I will follow the style of https://www.rossoctl.dev/ and use the values "Ready", "Alpha", "Beta", and "Coming Soon".
