 * from another plugin, so no plugin depends on another being installed. All
 * plugin modules land in the same root injector, so every contribution is
 * visible to every plugin regardless of load order. The plugin with the
 * lowest `hostWeight` hosts the tab and mounts the others as sub-sections;
 * everyone else withdraws its own tab (see settings.ts).
 *
 * Types and functions only in this file: it is imported by the module, the
 * provider and components alike, and importing a component from here would
 * close a cycle.
