Description

The category in bl_info is set to Object in the init.py file in the randomiser folder. This is used by materials, transforms and geometry which may have different categories so how do we handle this?

If it's simply a way to filter the add-ons then it may be an unimportant issue, but if it affects which categories we can operate on then we may need to re-think this.

Research direction

Start by reading init.py in the randomiser folder and inspect how bl_info sets the Object category. Compare the materials, transforms, and geometry components to determine whether one category is appropriate or whether separate handling is needed. Done means documenting the metadata behavior and agreeing on a concrete category strategy.
