+### Install asks nothing, and that is the default
+
+Offscale needs **none** of the install fields the current app-store catalogue carries — no `modes`, no
+`existingFields`, no `configFields`, no `composeTemplate`, no `members`. There is no Docker to provision
+and no external service to point at.
+
+Its install is the whole of it: put the code there, push the schema, start the sidecar, swap the routes.
+Available immediately. Everything else is configuration the user does **afterwards, inside the app** — a
+Headscale server is registered at `/offscale/servers` and lands in `offscale_servers`, which is already
+how it works today.

+So the rule is **a plugin installs with no questions unless it says otherwise**, and the prompting
+machinery (the three install shapes in `sidecar-app-store.md`) gets designed against the first extracted
+plugin that actually needs Docker or a remote instance. That was part of why offscale is the right pilot:
+it exercises the mounting, the schema and the sidecar without the install flow being a variable too.
