Deprecation and removal timeline for config.apps and config.panels in @grafana/runtime

The config.apps and config.panels properties from the @grafana/runtime package are deprecated and scheduled for removal in Grafana 13.2.0, scheduled for the second half of 2026.

These properties exposed plugin metadata through Grafana boot data, which is being phased out in favor of new async runtime APIs that provide a more stable and explicit way to access plugin information.

If your plugin relies on config.apps or config.panels, migrate to the new APIs before the release of Grafana 13.2 to avoid runtime errors.
