App Info

App info contains the host-provided identity and release metadata available through ctx.app. Host features and plugins can use it for labels, diagnostics, and version information without importing app-specific configuration.

The contract is read-only. Consumers should read these values but must not change them.

Every plugin receives app info automatically. Accessing ctx.app does not require a manifest permission.
