+// Command paramminer is a reference mitmux plugin - a Param Miner-style
+// hidden parameter prober. For every captured GET request, sends a
+// clean baseline resend (exact original, unmodified) plus one probe per
+// candidate parameter name from a small built-in wordlist, each adding
+// exactly that one query parameter. A probe whose response differs
+// meaningfully from the baseline (different status, or a body length
+// that differs by more than a small threshold) suggests the backend
+// actually reads and acts on a parameter that was never part of the
+// original request - the class of bug Param Miner exists to find.
+// Matches are tagged "paramminer:hit" on the original entry.
+//
+// Deliberately GET-only and a modest ~40-entry wordlist, not the
+// thousands of candidates and POST/JSON-body probing real Param Miner
+// covers - see PLAN.md's plugin section for why a small, honest v1
+// beats a slow one pretending to be exhaustive. Speaks the wire
+// protocol directly rather than importing mitmux's own internal Go
+// packages - see plugins/authcheck's package doc for why, and
+// PLUGINS.md for the protocol this and any other plugin, in any
+// language, follows.
