What
Plugin autoupdate, install, uninstall, prune and enable/disable now read plugin configuration asynchronously through the newer storage layer, falling back to the old synchronous read when that layer is off or unavailable.
Details
Several error handlers in this area that previously swallowed failures silently now report them with context, so a failed toggle surfaces as /plugin: toggling a plugin on the list threw rather than disappearing, and a failed scan for orphans after an uninstall is attributed too.
One internal error type is excluded from generic error reporting.
Evidence
/plugin: toggling a plugin on the list threw
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
