+        annotation: |
+          JEngine is a Unity hot-update framework that requires certain binary files:
+
+          1. HybridCLR Plugin (com.code-philosophy.hybridclr):
+             - Native DLLs for IL2CPP hot-update functionality
+             - Required for runtime C# code execution
+
+          2. YooAsset Bundles (Assets/StreamingAssets/yoo):
+             - Pre-built asset bundles for sample project
+             - Demonstrate framework capabilities
+
+          3. AOT Compiled DLLs (Assets/HotUpdate/Compiled/AOT):
+             - Unity engine module references
+             - Required for IL2CPP builds
+
+          These binaries are from trusted sources (Unity, HybridCLR) and are
+          essential for the framework to function. They cannot be built from
+          source as they are platform-specific Unity artifacts.
