dsh-plugin-manager

Installing a plugin is only half the story. Toggling it on and off is where the real friction lives: every switch means opening cordis.patch.yml, adding or removing a disabled: true line, and sometimes restarting the whole web service just to confirm the change took effect. dsh-plugin-manager compresses that entire loop into a single click inside the Settings page, so you can stop babysitting YAML files and waiting for restarts.

Navigate to Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins and you will find a card for every package already downloaded in the current profile, showing its name, version, source spec, description, and the live runtime entries from the Cordis Loader tree (id, module, fiber status). A one-click Enable / Disable button sits on each card. Pressing it reads and writes the profile-level cordis.patch.yml directly, and dsh's built-in watchUserPatches HMR immediately re-composes the Loader tree, so the change is live the moment the file lands. Packages that are on disk but not yet wired up get their insert block written automatically when you press Enable, saving you from hand-crafting YAML.

Safety is handled in several layers: the manager cannot disable itself so you never lose the entry point to re-enable it; only pure id-plus-disabled lines are edited automatically, while entries carrying extra configuration are flagged for manual review rather than silently deleted; all write operations require a same-origin POST check; and patch files are saved via temp-file-plus-rename atomic writes with a serialization queue so rapid clicks never collide.

This plugin suits users who run several plugins in a dsh workspace and need to flip them on and off often, as well as developers who want quick debugging without touching YAML patch files. Installing and uninstalling are still the job of the plugin market or the CLI; dsh-plugin-manager focuses on one thing: a safe, instant switch for plugins that are already on disk.
