Is there a reason this change should be made?

This'll also probably break things outside like the Plugin CLI, template, etc.

The string isn't meant to be consumed by users, a simple string is easier to serialize, and native never actually cares about what the value looks like anyway.

This change introduces a new contract for a part that native doesn't need to care about at all.

I just thought the current way was kinda weird so I did a more standard format

it shouldnt break any outside tools tmk I kept the string as an option
