it installed, and using it showed why that was wrong: the button is on the grid,
the progress log is in the detail panel — so a URL install ran to completion with
nothing on screen and the plugin simply appeared, already installed. no feedback,
and no moment to change your mind about running somebody's code.
cloning alone is enough to make a plugin real. `/api/plugins` lists what is ON
DISK, so a fetched plugin shows up with `installed: false` — Available, exactly
like a catalogue entry — and the existing card, its Install button and its
streamed progress do the rest. one install path, and it is the one people have
already used.
so `install-from-url` and its streaming twin are gone, replaced by
`fetch-from-url`, which clones and stops. the streaming route existed only to
carry progress into a view that could not render it.
the outcome is REPORTED, since that was the complaint: "fofos-admin added — click
it to install", naming what the URL resolved to. the name is derived rather than
typed — appName IS the directory, deciding the route, the table prefix and the
process name — so being told what it became is the only way to know which card is
yours. it stays on screen until the next attempt rather than being a toast that
is gone before you look up.
discovery is re-run after the clone: fetchPlugin checks the manifest EXISTS,
discovery checks it parses. a directory failing that still renders in the grid as
broken, which is honest, but saying so at fetch time reaches the person while
they are still looking at the field they pasted into.
verified: fetch 200 with the derived name, the plugin listed installed=false, a
second fetch refused with "already on disk" rather than clobbering it, and the
icon present in the clone.
