Description
We must improve plugin life cycle management: loading, unloading, start/stop, logging errors and able to show them from the Plugin management window.
- Plugin Registration & Management:
- Support versioning to handle updates and ensure compatibility.
- Manage them by subscriptions (they could be free or paid)
- Handle the upgrade of individual plugins
- Plugin store: market place
- Plugin Lifecycle:
- Define clear lifecycle events for plugins, including initialization, activation, deactivation, and disposal.
- Error Handling & Logging:
- Log plugin activities in a dedicated log, aiding in debugging, performance monitoring, and ensuring traceability.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing plugin management window and any plugin loading or lifecycle entry points. Review how plugins are currently registered and started, then clarify the required scope for versioning, subscriptions, upgrades, marketplace support, lifecycle events, and dedicated error logging. Done is not yet defined by the issue and needs maintainer decisions.
