 ## Parallel Execution Note
 
 No `(P)` markers are used anywhere in this plan. Tasks 2.1–2.3 and 3.1–3.2 all incrementally edit the same function (`repl_info_limit()`) in the same file (`repl_info.c`) and largely share the same new test file (`test_repl_limit_table.c`) — the parallel-analysis rules' "no conflicting files or shared mutable resources" criterion rules out marking any of them concurrent. Task 1 is the sole Foundation task (rarely `(P)` by rule, and has no peer to run alongside regardless). Tasks 4 and 5 are Integration/Validation work that structurally depends on Core being complete.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+- **Task 1**: `test_limit_plugin.c`'s pre-existing `fixture_init()` never populated `core->plugins` (`plugin_register()` is stubbed to a no-op in that white-box TU). Closed with two new test-local fixture helpers that hand-build a real `core->plugins` kvmgr and `key_add()` the plugin under its real `"xce_sched_limit"` name — necessary to exercise the accessors' real `key_find()` path, not a workaround. `test_repl_limit_table.c` (tasks 2.1+) is a *different* white-box TU with its own include set (per design.md's build-wiring risk note) — it should link real `plugin.c`/`core.c` machinery where `register_limit()`/`xce_sched_core_init()` actually populate `core->plugins`, so it likely does NOT need this same hand-built-kvmgr workaround; confirm this when starting 2.1 rather than assuming the same gap exists there.
