We have a plugin that we continually develop on. Base Kibana version is 8.13.2.

When we release new versions of the plugin we always create a new image of Kibana with the new updated image installed to deploy as a container.

We do increment the version number of the plugin in the package.json

what else should be updated in the plugin to ensure the Cache Busting happens.

We found that the version needed to be incremented with in the plugin in kibana.json as well as package.json.  
We were only incrementing package.json which does not effect the URL's for cache busting.
