## Description

LiteLoaderQQNT is a plugin loader and modding framework designed to modify the functionality and appearance of the QQNT client. It enables the injection of third-party extensions and custom scripts to alter the application's core behavior and visual themes.

The project includes a dedicated settings interface for managing the plugin lifecycle, allowing users to install and remove extensions without manual filesystem edits. It also provides a public marketplace for the discovery and distribution of versioned extension archives.

The framework supports loading plugins from the local filesystem and offers the ability to redirect plugin storage paths via environment variables to operate within read-only directories or bypass system permission restrictions.
