FINAL APPROACH: Modify collection configs at plugin config time
- This is the ONLY time we can modify collection configs before PayloadCMS finalizes them - Directly push hooks into config.collections[].hooks.afterChange arrays - This happens BEFORE PayloadCMS processes and freezes the configurations - If this doesn't work, the plugin architecture is fundamentally incompatible This is the last possible approach - modifying the actual collection config objects before they're processed by PayloadCMS.

Bas van den Aakster	bdfc311009	FUNDAMENTAL REWRITE: Direct runtime collection manipulation - Completely abandon config-phase hook registration approach - Use onInit to directly manipulate runtime collection.config.hooks arrays - Add ultra-simple test hook that just logs - Insert hook at beginning of array (unshift) to ensure it runs first - Bypass TypeScript complexity with targeted any usage for hooks object - This tests if ANY hook registration approach works Previous approaches failed because user collections don't exist during plugin config phase.	2025-09-01 21:05:25 +02:00
