+# Optional Python asyncio integration
+
+`run_async(coroutine, context=None, interval=10)` returns an AsyncTask with
+`done()`, `cancel()` and `result()`. Each invocation owns a separate event loop
+pumped by an existing main-loop timer. A ready stop callback ensures selector
+polling never blocks the UI. The captured context is restored after every pump;
+a closed context cancels the work. No process-wide event-loop policy is changed.
+
+Existing synchronous scripts are unaffected. Use `asyncio.get_running_loop()`
+inside the coroutine. Child tasks use the same loop/context and are cancelled
+when the main coroutine finishes or the script unloads. Cancellation cleanup is
+bounded; tasks must not suppress cancellation indefinitely. Cleanup uses the
+captured context while it remains open; after it closes, cancellation cleanup uses
+the current valid context. Use explicit Context methods for context-specific
+output in finally blocks, and do not issue context-dependent commands there. This provides normal
+asyncio sockets/timers, not Windows subprocess support or a new HTTP library.
+Asyncio hostname resolution can use its executor; use a resolver appropriate to
+your library if you require no worker threads. Blocking work inside a coroutine
+still blocks the client and must be avoided.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import zoitechat
+
+async def later():
+    await asyncio.sleep(1)
+    zoitechat.prnt('Still in the context where this task was started')
+
+task = zoitechat.run_async(later())

+# Script-supported capabilities

+`register_capability(name, userdata=None, connection_id=None)` returns a normal
+hook handle. Register before connecting/reconnecting. Core requests the name only
+if advertised in CAP LS or CAP NEW. Existing built-in requests remain enabled;
+SASL and STS registration is rejected so scripts cannot change authentication or
+transport policy through this API. None/-1 means any connection (zero is a valid
+connection ID). Names are lowercase ASCII alphanumerics plus - . / _, 1-200 bytes.
+Duplicate registrations do not duplicate requests for an advertised token.
+
+`unhook(handle)` or script/plugin unload removes future request ownership. It
+intentionally does not disable a capability already acknowledged on a live
+connection, because another plugin/core may depend on it. Registering after CAP
+LS does not retrospectively negotiate an already-advertised capability: reconnect
+or wait for CAP NEW. Core retains ownership of CAP END; this API does not extend
+SASL waiting or delay registration awaiting plugin-only CAP ACKs.
+
+`hook_capability(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)` independently
+observes negotiation through existing raw CAP hooks. Callback receives
+`(CapabilityEvent, userdata)` with name, subcommand, value, enabled, context and
+connection_id. LS/NEW mean advertised (`enabled=None`), ACK/LIST mean enabled
+(unless a negative ACK), NAK means rejected and DEL means removed. Callback
+returns are ignored so this observer cannot eat core negotiation. Existing raw
+hooks may still eat CAP before this hook according to their normal priorities.
+
+C: `zoitechat_register_capability(ph, name, flags, connection_id, userdata)`;
+flags=0, ID=-1 for any. Check get_info("api_plugin_caps") for "1" before using
+the appended Windows slot. Use existing server CAP hooks for notifications.
+Requests are split at complete token boundaries within the existing wire limit.

+```python
+registration = zoitechat.register_capability('draft/example')
+zoitechat.hook_capability('draft/example', lambda event, data:
+                         event.context.prnt('{}: {}'.format(event.subcommand, event.enabled)))

+# Optional plugin API additions (discussion #144)
+
+Existing hooks, callbacks, return values, context lookup, strings and menu behaviour
+remain unchanged. The C plugin function table gains four fixed append-only slots;
+unused slots are NULL. Older binaries use the unchanged prefix. A plugin must check
+the documented get_info() feature key before accessing a new slot on an older host.
+New Python modules are installed by Meson and the existing Windows copy/installer
+pipeline. Only modules present in the installation are exported; imports of
+zoitechat, hexchat and xchat retain their compatibility aliases.
+
+All APIs run on the client main thread unless explicitly documented otherwise.
+New reserved flags must be zero. These changes do not make old API calls thread-safe.
+
+Nested hook dispatch defers deleted-hook reclamation until its outermost return,
+so new observers can safely emit events and unhook themselves or other hooks.
+
+The optional asyncio module requires Python 3.7 or newer; older supported
+interpreters skip that module and retain the existing scripting API.
+
+Python reload drops the script/API modules while retaining the embedding module
+so callback and lib.ph pointer types keep the same CFFI identity.
+
+Server-hook insertion matches both raw and attrs hooks so documented priorities
+are honoured for mixed registrations, including new filtered attrs callbacks.

+`get_connections()` returns one Connection snapshot per live connection:
+`id`, `network`, `server`, `context`. Connection IDs distinguish simultaneous
+connections with identical names. Prefer its server-tab context where present.
+`get_connection(context=None)` finds the owner of a live context.
+
+`get_contexts(connection_id=None, types=None)` lists live contexts, optionally
+filtered by connection ID (or a Connection object) and session types: server=1,
+channel=2, query=3. `connection.contexts(types=None)` is a convenience method.
+`find_context_by_id(connection_id, channel=None)` / `connection.find(channel)`
+resolve using that connection's IRC comparator; no channel selects the server tab.
+Missing/closed contexts return None. Existing find_context() remains unchanged.
+
+These helpers use the existing channels list's ID/context fields, so no new C
+context ABI is needed. Snapshots are not persistent IDs across client restarts;
+refresh them after closing/recreating connections. Always check Context.set()
+when explicitly selecting a context that might have closed.
+
+```python
+connection = zoitechat.get_connection()

+`on_join`, `on_part`, `on_quit`, `on_nick`, `on_kick`, `on_message`, and
+`on_notice` accept `(callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)`. The general
+form is `hook_event(command, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)`.
+Callbacks receive `(event, userdata)`, where the immutable IRCEvent has
+command, prefix, nick, user, host, params, context, connection_id and time.
+`params` preserves the trailing parameter, including spaces; JOIN parameters
+also retain extended-join account/realname data when supplied by the server.
+
+These wrappers use existing server hooks, before core command processing;
+return the ordinary EAT_* constants. EAT_ZOITECHAT suppresses the entire IRC
+command (including client state updates), not just its text. Use EAT_NONE for
+observation. Other plugins' priority and eating rules remain unchanged.
+The context is the core-selected context, which can be the server tab when a
+query/channel does not yet exist. QUIT is one event per incoming command,
+not one callback per affected channel. `event.time` is the existing server-time
+attribute (zero when unavailable); other message tags are not exposed here.
+
+```python
+def joined(event, userdata):

+# Python descriptor hooks

+`hook_fd(fd, callback, userdata=None, flags=FD_READ)` returns an ordinary hook
+handle accepted by `unhook()`. Callback arguments are `(fd, ready_flags, userdata)`;
+return True to retain the watch and False/None to remove it. Exceptions print a
+traceback and remove the watch. Unloading the script removes its watches.
+The callback runs in the context captured during registration, and that context
+is restored afterwards. A closed context removes the watch.
+
+Use nonblocking IO and bounded reads/writes. The descriptor belongs to the script;
+unhook before closing it. On Windows socket descriptors use the default flags;
+CRT descriptors need FD_NOTSOCKET. The existing C API uses int descriptors: values
+outside its range are rejected rather than truncated. This does not add threads.
+
+Example:

+Callbacks match the existing attrs variants: `(word, word_eol, userdata, attrs)`.
+The connection ID distinguishes duplicate names; None/-1 means any connection
+(including connection ID zero). A channel restriction uses that connection's
+IRC comparator. None means any context; an empty string is an exact restriction.
+
+C: the corresponding zoitechat_hook_*_filtered functions accept

+`get_info("api_context_filters")` for "1" before accessing the new Windows slots.
+
+Filtering takes place before Python/interpreter entry. Existing unrestricted
+hooks, priority, EAT semantics and unload/unhook handling are unchanged.
+Filters refer to the core-selected context, not an IRC target parsed from the
+line: unknown queries/channels can still have a server-tab context, and QUIT
+has its usual single server-hook context. Connection IDs last only this process.

+# Explicit IRC comparison keys
+
+`IRCName(text, context=None, casemapping=None, connection_id=None)` is an
+immutable helper, not a str subclass. Construct it explicitly for dictionary/set
+keys; existing get_info/list/event values remain normal strings.
+Equality and hashing include the connection ID and captured casemapping, so
+identical-looking names on different connections are different keys. An IRCName
+never compares equal to a plain str. `str(key)` / `key.text` recover the spelling.
+
+`irc_casefold(text, casemapping='rfc1459')` supports ascii, strict-rfc1459 and
+rfc1459. Only ASCII IRC characters fold; Unicode casefold would be incorrect.
+The new `get_info('casemapping')` reports the comparator actually used by core.
+Current master handles ASCII and RFC1459; this patch does not change its handling
+of advertised strict-rfc1459. An explicit mapping is available for scripts that
+need strict-rfc1459 independently. Keys capture their mapping so hashes stay
+stable; rebuild a collection if the connection's mapping changes.
+
+```python
+seen = {zoitechat.IRCName('[SomeNick]')}
+assert zoitechat.IRCName('{somenick}') in seen  # RFC1459 connection

+Python: `hook_print_after(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)`.
+The callback is `(word, word_eol, userdata, attrs)`, matching hook_print_attrs().
+It runs after display_event() has handled the text, so prnt() follows the original
+text. Return values are ignored. Events eaten by a pre-hook or hidden by client
+preferences do not invoke these observers. This is post-display notification,
+not a notification that the entire incoming IRC command has finished updating state.
+
+C: `zoitechat_hook_print_after(ph, name, priority, flags, callback, userdata)`;
+flags must be zero. Check `get_info("api_hook_print_after")` for "1" before
+accessing the appended Windows function-table slot. Existing pre-hook timing is
+unchanged. Unhook/unload use existing lifecycle functions. Recursive emission
+skips an already-running observer to prevent it immediately invoking itself.
