Review of #4539. A refusal pnpm view prints as JSON on stdout was read
as unknown, so no registry was ever asked after a dead one; stderr and
stdout are now read alike, and a lookup killed at its bound is a
network refusal. pnpm's own registry joins the fallback plan only once
pnpm config get registry names npm's own or a configured fallback, so
a company registry in .npmrc is never followed by a public one, and a
registry pnpm already names is asked once. The Host lays each failure
at the registry or the spec's own host, reading the host off error
lines only, and reports it as ChangeResult.failedAt; a stop that lands
between attempts is cancelled, not failed. The package publishes its
registry rule through ./registry so the dialog plans with the Host's
own function, starts from the registry the Host asks first until one
is remembered, tags that one as the default, labels pnpm's own by the
host it names, and words and offers a change of registry from the
Host's attribution. ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META is no longer a network
failure.
Add registry and fallbackRegistries to the manager Config, ask them in
order from inspect and installBundle with --registry, and move on only
for failures another registry can change: unreachable, timed out, or a
copy the registry lacks. A git or tarball spec's own host is never
retried through a registry, and a registry outside the configured set
is asked alone. The lookup runs without pnpm's retries so a dead
registry is reported within inspectTimeoutMs; the install keeps pnpm's
defaults. Results carry the registries asked, the install-state event
names each attempt, and the plugin_manager tool takes a registry.
The sidebar Plugins page now drives `ctx.pluginManager` from #4182 and the
settings Plugin list tab goes back to read-only: its bundle form and row
checkboxes are removed, and the page joins `listBundles` with
`listPlugins` into one view per bundle, decides availability from the
inventory's `managementAvailable`, switches bundles and rows through
`setBundleEnabled` and `setPluginEnabled`, and confirms uninstalls.
The manager gains what the guided install dialog needs: `inspect(spec)`
reads a spec through the registry or a directory before anything installs
and refuses specs without a bundle; `installBundle` takes a request id,
streams each pnpm run as `plugin-manager/install-log`, reports its phases
as `plugin-manager/install-state`, classifies a failed run into
`packageResult.kind`, names the bundle it added, and restores
`package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml` when the run fails, is cancelled, or
adds a package without a bundle patch; `cancelInstall(requestId)` answers
only after pnpm exited and the files are back; `listBundles` carries
titles, one-liners, declared rows with their live entries, and the
built-in rows a bundle overrides; every completed operation and every
patch generation applied outside the manager emits
`plugin-manager/changed`. The config gains `pnpmCommand` and
`inspectTimeoutMs`. App boot emits `profile/reconciled` after each applied
patch generation and finds a root Include mounted under its pinned id by
another copy of the module.
Row diagnostics, dependency checks, and the non-bundle dependency group
are not carried over; the web e2e scaffold mounts a launcher-style
managed profile instead of the removed profile runtime.
