PlatformEntry.check_fn served three contradictory roles: adapter-creation
gate, config auto-enablement gate, and status display. Plugins had to pick
one function for all three:
- Active installer as check_fn (discord/slack/telegram/matrix/dingtalk/
feishu): every status display could pip-install SDKs as a side effect
(the desktop 94% boot-loop class).
- Passive probe as check_fn (teams, wecom_callback): create_adapter()
returned None before connect() could lazy-install, so the SDK never
installed (#79812 deadlock; wecom_callback's platform.wecom_callback
LAZY_DEPS entry was dead code).
The split makes both call sites correct by construction:
- check_fn is now contractually PASSIVE (probe only, never installs).
- New optional PlatformEntry.ensure_deps_fn is the ACTIVE installer;
create_adapter() runs it exactly when check_fn is False — the platform
is enabled+configured and the gateway is about to connect it.
- Config enablement keeps a configured platform whose deps are missing
but installable; the install itself is deferred to create_adapter().
- Status surfaces (_platform_status, hermes status) read only the
passive probe and can never trigger pip.
Migrated all lazy-installable platform plugins to the split; platforms
with no optional deps (irc/ntfy/buzz/simplex/line/a2a/...) are unchanged
— no ensure_deps_fn means a False check_fn stays a hard block.
wecom_callback gains a working installer for the first time.
Builds on @xxxigm's #79812 (both commits cherry-picked with authorship
preserved), reworking the check_fn swap into the two-field split so the
Teams fix doesn't reintroduce install-on-status.
