6. 🧪 Enable Pattern

To flip any disabled plugin on, add (or edit) its block under plugins: in quartz.config.yaml:

plugins:
  - source: github:quartz-community/explicit-publish
    enabled: true
    # options: {}      # nest plugin options here, or Quartz silently ignores them
    # layout:          # components only — position + priority
    #   position: beforeBody
    #   priority: 30

After editing config, sync the registry before building:

npx quartz plugin install --from-config
