      EPIC Goal

      Deprecate the ambiguous “Verified” plugin status and replace it with a transparent, tiered support model (GA, TP, DP) aligned with Red Hat standards—improving clarity, customer trust, and internal consistency across the Extensions Catalog.

      Background/Feature Origin

      The “Verified” badge has become an ambiguous indicator. Unlike “Certified” (partner-specific) or “Custom” (customer-internal), “Verified” doesn’t convey specific meaning or guarantee of support. With Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) maturing, there's a need to
      increase alignment with broader Red Hat terminology (GA, TP, DP).

      Why is this important?

      • Enhances customer understanding and confidence in choosing the right plugins.
      • Aligns the product with Red Hat standards and terminology.

      Acceptance Criteria

      1. Remove “Verified” badge and related content from the UI

      • Remove all instances of the “Verified” checkmark lozenge and any associated text.Affects plugin list views and detail pages in the Extensions Catalog.

      2. Update plugin metadata

      • Update plugin metadata to include the correct Supported By and Release Status data.
      • Metadata Already there : Author, Tags, Category, Backstage version supported 
      • All plugins including plugins being added as new plugins in this release cycle (see RHIDP-6899) must have accurate metadata ().

      2. Add Support Status fields in plugin details

      • Add two new fields on plugin's detail page figma :
        • Release Status: Displays one of the following values: "Generally Available", "Technology Preview", "Developer Preview".
        • Supported By: Displays one of the following values: "Red Hat", a specific partner or customer name (e.g., "MegaCorp Inc."), or "Backstage Community"

      3. Implement “GA” Badge (figma)

      • Show green badge only when:
        • Release Status is Generally Available and
        • Supported By is Red Hat.
      • Add tooltip `Generally available and supported by Red Hat`.

      4. Preserve existing badges

      • Certified (Purple): Used for Red Hat partner plugins – remains unchanged.
      • Custom (Yellow): Used for customer-developed plugins – remains unchanged.

      5. Display extended metadata on plugin pages (figma)

      • Enhance the plugin detail view to include:
        • `Author`, `Tags`, `Category`, `Backstage version supported`, `Support Status`.

      6. Update Support Type Filter to Support Status

      • Update Filter Name
      • Update Support status filter status value according to figma ie Icon, helper text as well as adding all the options.

      7. Explain status on details page

      • On hovering over status sentence explaining status meaning should be visible like given in figma.

      8. Add details to 1.8 release notes
