Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.1
- OS: *
- OS Version: *
- CPU Architecture: *
Steps To Reproduce:
Please provide all steps required to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable objc plugin, restart
- Set the workflow to the objc one, disable the objc plugin, restart again
- Open any binary without modifying the default workflow
Linear Analysis will be entirely broken with only a line in the error log vaguely indicating what went wrong.
Settings UI will still indicate that the workflow is available until you un-select it and restart again.

Research direction
Reproduce the objc plugin and workflow sequence described in the issue, then inspect how workflow selection is persisted and how Linear Analysis and the Settings UI handle a disabled plugin. Trace the database dependency checks around those entry points. Done means opening a binary cannot silently leave analysis broken or show an unavailable workflow as selected.
