High-level category of the descriptor (tool, guardrail, etc.).
Optional priorityOptional priority used during manifest loading. Higher numbers load later, allowing them to supersede earlier descriptors with the same id.
Optional enableFlag indicating whether the descriptor should be enabled by default when discovered. Manifests or overrides can still disable it explicitly.
Optional metadataArbitrary metadata for tooling or pack-specific usage.

0-based insertion position within the stack (lower is older).
