 :::tip[Summary]
 
 Plugins are configured with two distinct types of files:
 
 - `config` files are dynamically loaded and parsed by the plugin
-- `entry` files are statically analyzed by Knip to create a comprehensive
-  dependency graph
-- Both can result in additional entry files and dependencies
+- `entry` files are added to the module dependency graph
+- Both can recursively lead to additional entry files, config files and
