IEditorRegistry

Remarks

Doc 36 § D2. Three producers write here — a source generator at compile time, a plugin's Activate at load time, and a project's own Editor/ scripts when a project opens — and a consumer cannot tell them apart. That is the whole property: a fourth producer is a new producer and not a new consumer, and a built-in feature that registers here is a feature proving the same door a third party comes through.

⚠ A typed multimap rather than a method per kind. Adding a contribution kind is declaring a record in the assembly that owns it, not writing a registry and a consumer and a plugin method. The alternative was tried in miniature and is what F10 reports: two registries for one idea, and a reconciliation layer over them.

⚠ It is not the only registry, and pretending otherwise would be the same mistake. Commands, panels, layouts and modes belong to EditorShell; drawers belong to DrawerRegistry; described types belong to InspectorRegistry. Each is the one place its thing is declared, and copying them here would make a plugin's drawer land in whichever of two registries the inspector was not reading. What comes here is what had no owner: the asset kinds Create ▸ offers, custom inspectors, scene-view tools, gizmos, settings pages, previews.

Adding hands back the removal. A plugin's registration scope keeps it, a test disposes it, and nothing has to name what it added a second time in order to take it out.
