 Plugins must use the component library from `@steambrew/client` and Steam's built-in components. Review settings panels and UI for compliance:
 
 **Settings panels** are defined in `definePlugin()`'s return object via the `content` prop (in the plugin's `index.tsx`):
+
 ```tsx
 export default definePlugin(() => {
-  return {
-    title: "Plugin Name",
-    icon: <IconsModule.Something />,
-    content: <SettingsPanel />,
-  };
+	return {
+		title: "Plugin Name",
+		icon: <IconsModule.Something />,
+		content: <SettingsPanel />,
+	};
 });
 ```
 
 **Required component usage:**
+
 - Use `Field` for settings rows (with `label`, `description`, and `bottomSeparator` props).
 - Use `Toggle`, `TextField`, `Dropdown`, `Slider` for input controls inside `Field`.
 - Use `DialogButton` or `Button` for actions.
@@ -82,25 +84,19 @@ export default definePlugin(() => {
 - Use `Spinner` for loading states.
 
 **Flag these anti-patterns:**
+
 - Raw HTML elements (`<input>`, `<select>`, `<button>`, `<table>`) used where a `@steambrew/client` or Steam component exists.
 - Direct DOM manipulation (`document.createElement`, `element.innerHTML`, `element.appendChild`) for UI that could be React components.
 - Inline `style` attributes or `<style>` tags for layout/styling that Steam's existing CSS classes handle. Custom styles are acceptable only when Steam provides no equivalent.
 - Using `window.SP_REACT.createElement` directly instead of JSX.
 - Building settings UI outside of the `definePlugin` `content` pattern without good reason.
 
 **Acceptable exceptions:**
+
 - DOM manipulation for injecting into parts of Steam's UI that aren't exposed via React (e.g., patching existing Steam pages via `Millennium.findElement`).
 - Custom CSS for genuinely novel UI that has no Steam equivalent.
 - Plugins that don't have user-facing settings don't need a settings panel.
 
-### Backend Language Policy
-
-Python backends are no longer accepted. All plugins must use Lua for their backend (`"backendType": "lua"` in `plugin.json`).
-
-- Reject any plugin with `"backendType": "python"` or that ships `.py` files as part of the plugin backend.
-- Python helper scripts used only for development (build scripts, code generation, tooling) are acceptable and should NOT be flagged -- these are not shipped with the plugin.
-- If a PR updates an existing plugin that currently uses Python, it must migrate to Lua. Do not approve Python backend additions or modifications.
-
 ### General Quality
 
 - Check that the plugin does what its description claims.
