Copilot CLI v1.0.79 added an autoUpdate marketplace setting that refreshes
plugins at session start. Hermes adaptation:
- hermes plugins update --all: sweep every git-installed plugin; pinned
plugins and non-git dirs are skipped with a note instead of aborting.
- hermes plugins autoupdate <name> [on|off]: per-plugin opt-in flag stored
in the install metadata sidecar (pinned/non-git plugins are rejected).
- Startup sweep: opted-in plugins are git-pulled on the background
plugin-discovery thread AFTER discovery completes, throttled to once per
24h via a stamp file. The running session keeps the code it already
imported; updates take effect next session (stale bytecode cleared),
so the live registry and prompt cache are never touched.
- Non-interactive updates leave newly declared capabilities ungranted
(fail closed), same as the existing update path.
- Docs + 20 new tests (real-git E2E for pull/revision/bytecode/throttle).
