Design highlights

Trigger plugins typically implement the following capabilities:
  1. Trigger metadata (meta): Used to display trigger name, icon, and config form in the frontend.
  2. Configuration validation (validate): Checks required fields and binding conflicts before publishing.
  3. Publish and stop (publish / stop): Registers and releases trigger runtime resources.
  4. Bootstrap recovery strategy (bootstrap): Controls whether triggers recover automatically after system restart.
