 | `%info.json%`   | A map containing context information about the current callback. This includes the URL requested, its query in a parsed form, as well as the HTTP Headers of the request. In addition it includes the plugin's base config as returned by `/api/config`. Since version 6.17, the info also includes the languages as configured in the base config. Individual callbacks may add additional information. |
+| `%_exec.pluginDir%` | The absolute filesystem path to the plugin's directory. Use this to reference scripts and other plugin resources by their absolute path — e.g. `value: "%_exec.pluginDir%/src/handler.js"`. Without this prefix the path is resolved relative to the per-job working directory (a transient subdirectory under fylr's `tempDir`), where your script does not exist; the process exits with the runtime's "module not found" error. |
 
 When a plugin wants to return an error, it needs to exit with a non zero exit code. If called as an extension plugin, FYLR sets the `X-Execserver-Error` header, unless more than 4K of data have already been produce and sent out to the response body.

+**Stdin/stdout transport differs between extensions and callbacks.** Extensions use the URL-replacement form (`stdin.url: "%_input.url%"` / `stdout.url: "%_output.url%"`) because fylr exposes the input/output as on-the-fly HTTP endpoints. Callbacks (e.g. `db_pre_save`, `transition_db_pre_save`) connect the plugin's process stdin/stdout directly via `type: "body"`. Using the URL form inside a callback definition fails at job dispatch with `Could not prepare stdin "%_input.url%": parse "%_input.url%": invalid URL escape "%_i"` because the placeholder is not substituted in that path.
