Artifacts (4 collected)

Each row corresponds to an entry in the plugin's artifacts.yaml manifest. Optionalartifacts are often absent, and their absence isn't recorded as an error. Plannedartifacts are documented locations the plugin doesn't collect yet. Where a path shows a version range, macfor only tries it when the source's macOS or application version is in that range.
