Under the hood
Useful2 Signal1
The installed-plugin list is written through a safer read-modify-write when storage supports it.

What
Writing the record of which plugins are installed now goes through a read-modify-write on the storage backend when one is available, and falls back to the previous direct file write when there is none.
Details
- The read accepts the older file shape and migrates it, or parses the current one directly.
- A write that fails because a lock looks suspect is retried, honouring a retry delay supplied by the server.
- File permissions come from the process umask, and load failures are reported separately from save failures.
