FYI this plugin is throwing an error:

```plaintext
plugin-api.gjs:234 [PLUGIN discourse-suggested-edits] Attempted to modify "service:composer", but it was already initialized earlier in the boot process (e.g. via a lookup()). Remove that lookup, or move the modifyClass call earlier in the boot process for changes to take effect. https://meta.discourse.org/t/262064
_resolveClass @ plugin-api.gjs:234

```

looks like the initializer is calling `api.customizeComposerText()` right before `api.modifyClass("service:composer", {...})` resulting in a race condition. i think the code needs to be reordered so that `api.modifyClass` runs before `api.customizeComposerText`:

i opened a PR here:
