+Immersive Reading discovers server-side packages through the
+`deeptutor.reading_extensions` Python entry-point group. DeepTutor ships read
+aloud, study guidance, vocabulary, quiz, and explicit-target translation
+extensions in this group; when no extension is installed, the Reader does not
+render an extension toolbar.
 
 An entry point resolves to an object or class with a validated `manifest` and a
 `run_action(action, context)` method. The current protocol version is `1`.
