PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 3 🔵🔵🔵⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Documentation Clarity The documentation should clarify the use of specific Go versions and the necessity of matching these versions between the gateway and plugins to avoid compatibility issues. It's also recommended to provide more explicit steps or checks to ensure that developers follow these guidelines correctly. Error Handling The Taskfile commands for checking out repositories and building projects should include better error handling to ensure that any failures in these steps are caught and handled appropriately. This would prevent the continuation of the workflow in an erroneous state, which could lead to further complications.

@titpetric I would propose to build a plugin together with the steps, like a hello world plugin, that they can copy paste from the guidance and endup with a functional plugin

I see that it uses CustomGoPlugin in the example, which is perfect.
