  /**
   * Calculates dependencies for the configured plugin.
   *
   * Dependencies are saved in the plugin's configuration entity and are used to
   * determine configuration synchronization order. For example, if the plugin
   * integrates with specific user roles, this method should return an array of
   * dependencies listing the specified roles.
   *
   * @return array
   *   An array of dependencies grouped by type (config, content, module,
   *   theme). For example:
   *   @code
   *   array(
   *     'config' => array('user.role.anonymous', 'user.role.authenticated'),
   *     'content' => array('node:article:f0a189e6-55fb-47fb-8005-5bef81c44d6d'),
   *     'module' => array('node', 'user'),
   *     'theme' => array('seven'),
   *   );
