Plugin Hot-Swap

Plugins can be enabled and disabled at runtime without restarting the server. Two ways to do it:

1. Edit am.toml

Edit [plugin] enabled while the server is running. The config watcher detects the change, diffs the enabled list against currently loaded plugins, and starts or stops plugins accordingly.

[plugin]
enabled = [
  "reduce",
  "spindle",
  #"voor",    # comment out to disable
]

2. API

POST /api/plugins/{name}/enable
POST /api/plugins/{name}/disable

Both return JSON with the plugin's new state:

{"action": "enable", "name": "voor", "state": "running"}
{"action": "disable", "name": "voor", "state": "stopped"}

See API reference for all plugin endpoints.

What happens

Enable: discovered from search paths, loaded, gRPC connected, registered, initialized, provider services wired, async handlers and watchers registered. Same sequence as boot, but for one plugin.

Disable: gRPC shutdown sent, process killed, unregistered from domain registry, watchers pruned, async handlers removed, HTTP mux cleared.

Plugins not mentioned in the change are untouched. Both transitions emit a colored banner in the log.

Requirements

Config watcher must be active (requires a project-level am.toml on disk).
Plugin binary must be discoverable in the configured search paths.
The server must be past initialization (services and registry available).

Not supported

Changing plugin search paths at runtime. Restart required.
Reordering plugins. Order is alphabetical, same as boot.
