Custom header plugin
Similarly to "home" plugin customizations, the shared Backstage header can also be customized as a dynamic plugin.
The default header ships as package veecode-platform-plugin-veecode-global-header-dynamic (preinstalled, enabled by default). It uses the application/header mount point with position: above-main-content, and exposes sub-mount-points for injecting custom components into the header bar (global.header/component, global.header/profile).

RHDH Header docs
The VeeCode header plugin is based on the RHDH header plugin, so you can refer to the RHDH Header docs for more information on mount points and customization patterns.
