Research direction

Start with the workspaces/extensions workspace and the upstream rhdh-plugins repository, then read the linked plugin-owner responsibilities and version-updates guides. Check the update-plugins-repo-refs.yaml workflow to understand synchronization; done means the upstream plugin supports Backstage 1.54.0 and the workspace reference is updated by the workflow.
