Moves plugin configuration into Settings, where configuration lives — and is the top layer of the native GitHub stack for the Extensions rework (#1358 → #1360 → #1471 → #1472 → #1473 → #1474 → here). - **/settings/plugins/:id** hosts each plugin's settings form, under a Plugins sidebar group where each row uses the plugin's own icon. - **Mirrored anatomies**: the plugin settings page mirrors the Extensions detail page's header (icon + title + one-line description) and section stack; its "Plugin details" section is one sentence linking across to the plugin page, and the detail page's "Configuration" section is one sentence linking here — each page owns its half and points at the other. - The per-plugin settings route participates in Settings route memory like any other section; only the bare /settings/plugins list remains a legacy redirect to Extensions. Bundle budget: this integration layer raises the compressed boot allowance from 435.3 KB to 438.0 KB to account for the persistent plugin rows added to Settings. The final measured boot payload is 436.2 KB Brotli; the raw boot payload remains within its existing limit. BB-Thread-ID: thr_kuixkqt8n2 > AGENT GENERATED: by GPT-5

## What was wrong The plugin update UI (the "Update x.y.z" pill, the update dialog, and the detail-page banner) shipped in #1474, but nothing ever triggered an update check. `checkForUpdates` only ran when a user ran `bb plugin outdated` or `bb plugin update`. The app had a `checkPluginUpdates()` helper with no caller, and the server only refreshed marketplace catalog metadata on a timer, not installed-plugin update state. So the pills never appeared for users who do not use the CLI. ## What changed Server: - `apps/server/src/services/plugins/plugin-updates.ts`: new `startPeriodicUpdateChecks()` / `stopPeriodicUpdateChecks()` with `PLUGIN_UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS = 6h`. The first sweep runs at once when no plugin has a recorded check or the newest one is older than 6h; otherwise it waits the remainder, so a restart does not re-check. A failed sweep waits a full interval. `lastCheckAt` now uses the injected `deps.now` clock. - `plugin-service-internal.ts`: `scheduleUpdateCheck` test seam on `PluginServiceDeps`. - `start-server.ts`: starts the sweep after plugin startup settles; stops it on shutdown. - No wire change between server and host daemon; `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` is unchanged. App: - New `CheckPluginUpdatesButton`: a toolbar key (same 32px outline style as the filter/sort keys) that POSTs `/plugins/updates/check`, invalidates the plugin list so the pills appear, and toasts a summary. - `PluginsOverview`: the button sits in the Installed toolbar beside "New plugin". - `PluginDetail`: an inline "Check" button in the Release section for updatable plugins when no update is known yet. - `PluginRowSignal`: the row's "Update x.y.z" text pill is now a round icon button (`PackageReceive`, the app's update icon) that matches the status icon beside it; the version lives in the tooltip and the accessible name. Docs: `docs/configuration.md` "Plugin updates" now describes the button and the 6-hour sweep. No CLI command changed. ## How you verified - New server test `sweeps for updates on start, then waits a full interval across restarts` in `plugin-update.test.ts` (fails before: `startPeriodicUpdateChecks` does not exist). All 24 tests in that file pass. - New `CheckPluginUpdatesButton.test.tsx` (4 tests): toast summary, full check request shape + plugin list invalidation, scoped single-plugin check. - `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck lint --filter=@bb/app --filter=@bb/server` pass. - E2E in the dev app: installed a local `git:` plugin, committed a newer version, clicked the toolbar key → toast "1 plugin update available: updater-demo" and the row pill appeared; detail page showed the candidate; applied the update through the dialog; clicked the inline "Check" → "updater-demo is up to date". Server log/DB confirmed the startup sweep stamped `lastCheckAt` on every installed plugin. Toolbar key after a check (toast + pill):  Row icon button (hovered):  Detail page with the found candidate:  Detail page after applying, inline Check:  > AGENT GENERATED: by Claude Opus 5 --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
