API page: https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Component%21Plug...

From what I can tell, the $plugin_definition parameter gets a couple of extra items in its array that are not in the annotation on the plugin:

- class: the class of the plugin
- provider: the module where the plugin is defined? or the module that defines the plugin type?

While we're at it, it would make following the pathway of plugin construction clearer if the parameters were explained with this in mind:

- $configuration is the configuration array that is passed to the plugin manager's createInstance() method
- $plugin_definition is the annotation from the top of the plugin class
