# Zensical natively re-implements `search`, `glightbox` and `mkdocstrings`; it
# does not run arbitrary MkDocs plugins or hooks. The former `gen-files`,
# `literate-nav` and `llms_txt` hook are handled by the standalone scripts
# under `scripts/docs/` (see scripts/docs/build.sh). The `social` plugin was
# dropped: Zensical has no social-card support, and the cards were gated on
# ENABLE_SOCIAL_CARDS, which no workflow ever set.
