This mu-plugin for Bedrock-based sites allows developers to automatically disable specific plugins in environments like development or staging. It is designed for teams who need to keep their local and testing environments free from plugins that are only necessary for live servers, such as caching or backup tools.

Environment-specific control: Define a list of plugin main files via a PHP constant (DISABLED_PLUGINS) in your environment configuration file (e.g., development.php). The plugin will automatically deactivate them.

Clean development workflow: Removes plugins that can interfere with local development, like performance cache plugins, ensuring code changes are tested without caching artifacts.

Simple integration: Installs via Composer as a must-use plugin. It self-deactivates with a notice if incorrectly installed as a regular plugin.

Flexible configuration: Accepts the plugin list as a standard PHP array or serialized data, accommodating different setup preferences.

Bedrock compatibility: Works exclusively with the Bedrock site structure and will not function on a standard installation, ensuring it integrates with modern development workflows.
