there's some cargo cult copy paste of adding select / extend-select to "enable plugins" however this is unnecessary as any installed plugin is enabled by default

Research direction

Start by locating the entry point that parses or validates the select and extend-select options. Check how configuration warnings are tested, then add coverage showing that these options produce a warning when used only to enable installed plugins; done means the warning is emitted without preventing normal plugin use.
