This tool is for administrators and developers who need to ensure specific plugins remain active on a site, preventing users from accidentally or intentionally deactivating them. It works by loading standard plugins from the plugins directory as if they were must-use plugins, but without moving their files, preserving the standard update and management workflow.

• Enforced Activation: Selected plugins are loaded as must-use, making them permanently active and preventing deactivation through the standard admin interface.
• Preserved Update Flow: Unlike traditional must-use plugins, these plugins continue to receive update notifications and can be updated directly from the site's plugin management screen.
• Standard Plugin Hooks: The activation, deactivation, and uninstallation hooks for the managed plugins fire normally, ensuring compatibility with plugins that rely on these routines.
• Simple Configuration: Plugins are specified by their basename (e.g., 'plugin-folder/plugin-file.php') either via an array passed to the loader or by calling its load method individually.
• Developer Friendly: It integrates cleanly into development workflows, allowing critical plugins to be enforced via code in a must-use plugin file or through Composer dependency management.
