+- **Managed settings:** simple values such as booleans, numbers, strings, enums, lists, or sets handled through `ManagedConfiguration`. These values may be locked or used as organization defaults.
+- **Managed configuration objects:** complex Lua tables that are persisted into `SettingsManager.ConfigurationData`, implement `IConfigurationObject`, and are cleaned up through `PluginConfigurationObject.CleanLeftOverConfigurationObjects(...)`. Examples include providers, profiles, chat templates, data sources, and document analysis policies.
+- **Live plugin content:** complex Lua tables that implement `ILivePluginContent` and are read live from running plugins instead of being persisted to `ConfigurationData`. Examples include `MANDATORY_INFOS` and `INTRODUCTIONS`. If live plugin content creates persistent side data, add a dedicated cleanup path for that side data, like mandatory-info acceptances.
