Provide destroy methods for cleanup.
Reinitialize on dynamic updates.
Quick Answer
Plugin lifecycle management: initialize on DOMReady or event trigger, store instance state in .data(), expose destroy method that cleans up events, DOM, and data, re-initialize only when needed (check if already initialized with .data("myPlugin-init")), and handle SPA navigation (listen for page hide events and call destroy). Register initialization in a central registry for cleanup.
