2026-10-24-openhands-strict-plugin-preflight-resolves-a-revision-without-enabling-the-plugin

Strict plugin preflight resolves a revision without enabling the plugin. The released preflight API resolves remote plugin sources to a full commit SHA, validates paths/manifests and reports structured fetch errors without enabling the plugin. Explicitly allowed local sources do not have a remote resolved SHA.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-16 (SDK v1.55.1).

Operator consequence: Review and retain the resolved remote revision before enabling executable extensions. This gives plugin review a concrete object and avoids custom fetch/error glue, while successful parsing does not approve executable content. No fetched plugin was run here.
