Plugin discovery and its file watcher now track a folder scope and entry module path, and the watcher can retarget on reload

What

  • Plugin discovery from folders now records a scope: "folder" marker and resolves an entry module path when a manifest declares modulePath.
  • The plugin directory watcher now tracks a per-plugin scope and entry alongside manifests, checks an admit gate before reloading a plugin, and calls watcher.retarget() after both plugin-list updates and after a reload completes.

Why

This lets Claude Code correctly track where a plugin's code actually lives and keep watching the right files and folders as plugins are added, reloaded, or changed, instead of relying only on a static manifest list.
