Plugin not found after status update

Error message

Plugin not found after status update: ${pluginId}

What it means

Post-update consistency guard in the plugin status transition path: after updating the plugin's status, registry.getById no longer finds the row. Defensive check against concurrent delete during enable/disable/load flows; the racing deletion is at fault.

Solutions

  1. The plugin disappeared during the status update (concurrent uninstall). Re-check the plugin list and retry against an existing plugin.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch
