The plugin manager UI is split between Settings -> Client plugins for global client plugins and Settings -> Server -> Server plugins for chat-server plugins. The two pages filter by manifest `scope` and include installed plugins, capability grant toggles, per-plugin activate/reload/unload actions, runtime logs, extension-point counts, server requirements, generated settings, and docs.

The Store tab consumes user-managed HTTP(S), `file://`, or absolute local-path source manifests. Local-path sources and entrypoints are read through the Electron desktop file bridge. A source manifest can expose a `plugins` array whose entries include `id`, `title`, `description`, `version`, `scope`, `author`/`authors`, `image`/`imageUrl`, `github`/`githubUrl`, `install`/`installUrl`/`manifestUrl`, and `readme`/`readmeUrl`. Installing a `scope: "server"` plugin fetches the linked plugin manifest, validates it, registers it with the client registry, and persists the basic install metadata as a server plugin requirement. Required server plugins are installed on each member client when that chat server opens; optional server plugins stay listed as server requirements but are not auto-installed. Installing a `scope: "client"` plugin persists it locally for the current desktop/browser client.

Store plugins can be published as cached browser bundles by adding `bundle` or `bundleUrl` to the source manifest entry. The bundle is a browser-safe ESM JavaScript file. During install, Electron downloads the bundle into app data under `plugin-bundles/<plugin-id>/<version>/main.js`, writes a cached manifest next to it, and registers the plugin from that local cached manifest path. If no bundle URL is provided and the manifest entrypoint is a relative browser module, Electron caches that entrypoint path instead. Browser-only clients still load directly from the source URL. Saved store sources refresh during app bootstrap; when a source advertises a higher version for an installed plugin, the store attempts to update the local cached bundle and persisted install metadata automatically.

The server-side plugin support API is metadata-only. The signal server can keep plugin id, requirement status, version range, install/source URLs, and the validated manifest snapshot needed for member clients to install required plugins. Plugin `serverData` API calls are handled as local per-user/per-server client state; HTTP plugin data persistence on the signal server returns `PLUGIN_DATA_DISABLED`.
