This plugin is a utility for developers to load the Carbon Fields framework within a content management system. It is intended for those building custom themes or plugins that require advanced, structured data fields. The tool handles dependency loading and provides configuration options to manage its behavior in the admin area.

Version Control: Ensures a compatible minimum version of the Carbon Fields framework is loaded, preventing conflicts with outdated dependencies. Admin Customization: Offers constants to hide the plugin from the admin plugins list or remove specific action links like 'Deactivate' and 'Edit'. Update Management: Can disable update notifications for itself, useful when managing updates through external tools like GitHub Updater. Dependency Checks: Validates system requirements, such as PHP version, and will deactivate itself if an incompatible legacy version of the framework is detected. Configuration Flexibility: Supports both simple constants for basic setups and a structured array option for more concise, advanced configuration in newer PHP environments.
