•The Matter stack runs in-process inside Homebridge using the open-source matter.js library (the @matter/main npm package) as its protocol engine.
•Plugins decide whether to publish accessories to Matter by calling the api.matter API — analogous to the existing api.hap API. Plugins that don't opt in are unaffected.
•Matter pairing requires the controller and Homebridge to be on the same IP subnet with mDNS/IPv6 working — the same network constraints as HomeKit.
•A Matter-enabled bridge cannot be moved between controllers without re-commissioning.
•Because the implementation is uncertified, some controllers may surface warnings during pairing or restrict access to features that require certification.
