| `bannedIPs` | List of IPs banned via `owncast.users.banIP` |
| `uploads` | List of `{ name, body?, bodyBase64? }` from `owncast.storage.upload`. `name` is always checked. Non-empty `body` values compare text. Present `bodyBase64` values compare exact decoded bytes |
| `videoConfigWrites` | List of partial configs applied via `owncast.videoConfig.write()` |
| `emits` | List of `{ eventType, payload }` for `owncast.events.emit` calls |
| `emits` | List of `{ eventType, payload }` for `owncast.events.emit` calls. `eventType` is the dispatched name, so it carries your plugin's slug prefix |
| `commands` | List of `{ name, prefix?, description?, usage?, aliases?, modOnly, caseSensitive, cooldownMs }` chat-command registrations, matched by `name` in any order (`prefix`, `description`, `usage`, and `aliases` are checked only when set) |
| `kv` | Partial map of plugin-config state after the scenario |
| `httpRequests` | List of `{ url, method?, body? }` outbound `owncast.http.fetch` calls. `url` is an exact match, an omitted `method` matches any, an omitted `body` skips the check |
