From 261f1e704a92e33d883f5ce147e7298b9205082f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: moying2026 Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:18:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix misleading 'types of Plugin' wording in lifecycle diagram The diagram shows plugin execution phases, not 'types' of plugins. Phases (init, rewrite, access, etc.) are lifecycle stages, and each plugin implements callbacks for the phases it needs.
