+## Plugin API
+
+The Plugin API is the primary interface for plugin developers.
+
+### Getting the API
+
+```python
+from core.plugin_api import get_api
+
+class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
+    def initialize(self):
+        self.api = get_api()
+```
+
+### Log Reader
+
+```python
+# Read recent log lines
+lines = self.api.read_log_lines(count=100)
+
+# Read logs since timestamp
+lines = self.api.read_log_since(timestamp)
+```
+
+### Window Manager
+
+```python
+# Get EU window info
+window = self.api.get_eu_window()
+if window:
+    print(f"Position: {window['x']}, {window['y']}")
+    print(f"Size: {window['width']}x{window['height']}")
+    print(f"Focused: {window['is_focused']}")
+
+# Check EU focus
+if self.api.is_eu_focused():
+    self.api.play_sound("alert.wav")
+
+# Bring EU to front
+self.api.bring_eu_to_front()
+```
+
+### OCR
+
+```python
+# Check OCR availability
+if self.api.ocr_available():
+    # Recognize text from screen region
+    text = self.api.recognize_text(region=(100, 100, 200, 50))
+    
+    # Recognize from image file
+    text = self.api.recognize_text(image_path="screenshot.png")
+```

+    
+    # Capture and save
+    img = self.api.capture_screen(
+        region=(100, 100, 200, 200),
+        save_path="screenshot.png"
+    )
+```

+        
+        # Get config with defaults
+        self.update_interval = self.config.get("update_interval", 1000)
+        self.auto_start = self.config.get("auto_start", True)
+        self.threshold = self.config.get("threshold", 0.5)
+        
+        self.log_info(f"Update interval: {self.update_interval}ms")
+    
+    def on_config_changed(self, key, value):
+        """Called when config is updated."""
+        self.log_info(f"Config changed: {key} = {value}")

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use get_api()** - Don't create API instances directly
+2. **Handle errors gracefully** - Use try/except for API calls
+3. **Clean up in shutdown()** - Unsubscribe from events, save data
+4. **Use background tasks** - Don't block the UI thread
+5. **Log appropriately** - Use self.log_* methods
+6. **Follow naming conventions** - Use descriptive names
+7. **Document your plugin** - Add docstrings and README

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Python is not recognized"
+
+**Windows:**
+1. Reinstall Python and check "Add to PATH"
+2. Or use: `py -3.11` instead of `python`
+
+**Linux:**
+```bash
+# Use python3 explicitly
+python3 --version
+python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+python3 -m core.main
+```
+
+### "No module named 'PyQt6'"
+
+```bash
+pip install PyQt6
+# Or specific version
+pip install PyQt6==6.6.1
+```
+
+### "Cannot connect to X server" (Linux)
+
+```bash
+# If running over SSH
+export DISPLAY=:0
+
+# If using Wayland, try X11
+QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb python -m core.main
+```
+
+### Permission denied errors
+
+```bash
+# Fix permissions
+chmod -R u+rw config data logs
+
+# Or run with sudo (not recommended)
+sudo chown -R $USER:$USER config data logs
+```
+
+### Tests fail
+
+```bash
+# Check pytest installation
+pip install pytest pytest-qt
+
+# Run with verbose output
+python run_tests.py --unit -v
+
+# Check specific test
+python -m pytest tests/unit/test_plugin_manager.py -v
+```
+

+
+## Test Maintenance
+
+### Adding New Tests
+
+1. Create test file in appropriate directory
+2. Use descriptive test names
+3. Add docstrings explaining what is tested
+4. Use fixtures from conftest.py
+5. Add markers if appropriate
+6. Run tests to verify
+
+### Test Naming Convention
+
+- `test_<component>_<scenario>_<expected_result>`
+- Example: `test_plugin_manager_enable_plugin_success`
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Isolation**: Each test should be independent
+2. **Determinism**: Tests should produce same results every time
+3. **Speed**: Keep tests fast (use mocks)
+4. **Clarity**: Tests should be easy to understand
+5. **Coverage**: Aim for high code coverage
+
+## Coverage Goals
+
+| Component | Target Coverage |
+|-----------|-----------------|
+| Core Services | 90%+ |
+| Plugin Manager | 85%+ |
+| API Layer | 80%+ |
+| UI Components | 70%+ |
+| Overall | 80%+ |
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. UI tests require display (Xvfb on headless systems)
+2. Some tests are Windows-only (window manager)
+3. OCR tests require OCR backend installed
+4. Performance benchmarks may vary by hardware
+
+## Troubleshooting Tests
+
+### Tests Fail to Import
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're in project root
+cd /path/to/EU-Utility
+python -m pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+### Qt Display Issues (Linux)
+
+```bash
+# Install Xvfb
+sudo apt install xvfb
+
+# Run with virtual display
+xvfb-run python -m pytest tests/ui/ -v
+```
+
+### Permission Errors
+
+```bash
+chmod -R u+rw tests/
+```
