"Plugin" no longer makes sense for Shadow 2.0. Initially we talked about using "managed process" anywhere we would otherwise say "plugin". On further discussion, "virtual" process is a little better when talking about the more abstract concept of a process in the simulation vs the native process used to help implement it.

For the most part, the user doesn't need to know that processes in a
simulation are implemented using native processes on the host machine.
In those places, the more abstract term "virtual process" makes more
sense.

When referring specifically to the real process running on the host OS,
"managed process" is probably still the best term. This comes up e.g. in
developer/debugging docs, and in some experimental options.
