get Private Plugin status: %w

Error message

get Private Plugin status: %w

What it means

First of two identical-message wraps in runPluginStatus (cmd_plugin.go:310): the single-argument form `multica plugin status <key>` failed on its direct GET /api/workspaces/{id}/plugins/private/{url.PathEscape(key)} request. Distinct from the second occurrence (574) which covers the no-arg 'list all then filter' path — same message, different failing call.

Solutions

1. List what actually exists: `multica plugin list --workspace <id>` and copy the exact plugin_key.
2. Confirm you targeted the right workspace (the install and status commands must use the same --workspace).
3. Re-login/fix token if the wrapped error is 401/403; check server if it is a connection error.

Example fix

// before
multica plugin status my-plugin   // get Private Plugin status: 404 not found (key uses full form)

// after
multica plugin list --workspace main          # shows plugin_key com.example.my-plugin
multica plugin status com.example.my-plugin --workspace main

plugins, err := fetchPrivatePlugins(cmd)
if err != nil { return err }
keys := map[string]bool{}
for _, p := range plugins { keys[strVal(p, "plugin_key")] = true }
if !keys[wantKey] { return fmt.Errorf("plugin %q not installed", wantKey) }

if err := statusCmd.Run(); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "404") { /* key typo or not yet installed */ }
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "403") { /* token scope */ }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Requesting a plugin key that does not exist in the workspace (404); token without read permission (403); server unreachable; workspace ID resolved but deleted server-side.

Common situations: Checking status before install completed; typo in the plugin key; querying the wrong workspace via --workspace; agent hasn't reconciled the plugin yet.
