-
-The driver is registered in DOCSight's `DriverRegistry` on startup. Module drivers take priority over built-in drivers with the same key, allowing community modules to override or improve existing drivers.
-
-**Security restriction:** Driver modules **cannot** also contribute `collector` or `publisher`. This prevents a driver module from exfiltrating modem credentials to external services. If a manifest declares both, DOCSight rejects the module on startup.
