## Motivation and Context
The existing Inspector is hard to maintain for a number of reasons. We decided to create a more maintainable Inspector
from the ground up, that retains the deterministic boundary of operation, but exposes a plugin architecture.
## Track Protocol Conformance
* Identify any gaps in V1 inspector
* Track which features are covered
* Implement to parity and fill gaps
* Provide conformance testing in CI
## Improve Maintainability
* Clearer separation of concerns
* Smaller, reusable components
## Provide Extensibility
* Plugin SDK / API
* Third parties cand develop/maintain their own plugins for features such as
* LLM usage
* Evals
* Multiple server connections
* Apps playground
* Testing of registry configuration
* Interface with registry
## Proper Documentation
* One big README won't cut it anymore
* Published documentation in MDX should
* Render in style of spec
* Kept up to date
* Cover all features
* Discuss troubleshooting strategies
* Provide detailed contribution guidance that explains architecture and expected idioms
