Plugin cache writes can route through a new storage backend

Plugin cache file operations can go through a new storage layer, off unless a remote setting enables it.

A storage backend for plugin cache writes with file-operation fallbacks, decided once per process from a remote setting that defaults off.

What

Publishing, adopting, probing and clearing plugin cache folders can go through a storage interface instead of direct file calls, falling back to ordinary file operations on invalid-argument, not-a-directory and cross-device errors. It is off unless a remote setting turns it on, and the decision is fixed once per process.

Details
  • Publishing is refused when the cache path is reached through a symlink.
  • Stray orphan markers and set-aside replaced versions are cleaned up.
  • Session transcript appends, saved tool results and stored shell output use the same path.
Evidence

refused to publish a staged plugin through a symlinked cache folder (v5 backend)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
