What

Activating plugins from the plugin management dialog now goes through the same prompt-cache check that /reload-plugins uses, so an install does not silently invalidate the conversation's prompt cache.

Details
  • The dialog is passed getReloadCacheImpactOptions, carrying the model plus dynamic MCP config.
  • An install-triggered activation can now bail out with a cache_impact outcome.
  • The equivalent /reload-plugins warning text already existed.
