Validate tap catalogs against the schema v2 contract used by

docs URLs, package paths, compatibility metadata, and unique runtime
plugin names.

Derive Git install targets as package-qualified PEP 508 direct

Refs #617

* feat(cli): add plugin catalog services

Add typed catalog and tap models, persistent tap storage, cached
catalog loading, compatibility evaluation, install plan generation,
and runtime plugin discovery helpers.

Refs #617

* feat(cli): add plugins command group

Wire list, search, info, install, installed, and tap management
commands through the existing command-controller CLI pattern.

Refs #617

* test(cli): cover plugin catalog workflows

Add regression coverage for tap caching, catalog compatibility,
installer command generation, local path resolution, and Typer command
delegation.

Refs #617

* fix(cli): align plugin taps with schema v2

Validate tap catalogs against the schema v2 contract used by
NVIDIA-NeMo/DataDesignerPlugins#36, including source union fields,
docs URLs, package paths, compatibility metadata, and unique runtime
plugin names.

Refs #617

* fix(cli): address plugin review feedback

- Invalidate import caches before post-install entry point verification
- Make tap aliases case-insensitive and cache catalogs by alias plus URL
- Prefer compatible catalog entries before falling back to forced installs
- Clarify unused --tap behavior and list installed entry points without imports
- Add direct controller coverage and update CLI plugin documentation

Refs #617

* fix(cli): gate incompatible plugin installs

Fetch install targets before compatibility filtering so the controller
owns the final --force decision and the incompatible install guard stays
reachable.

Refs #617

* style(cli): format plugin catalog files

Apply ruff formatting to the plugin command and tap repository tests so
CI format checks pass on the PR merge commit.

Refs #617

* fix(cli): reject duplicate plugin entry names

Key catalog duplicate detection by entry_point.name so distinct catalog
entries cannot register the same runtime plugin name.

Refs #617

* fix(cli): preserve GitHub tree tap paths

* fix(cli): verify plugin entry point names

* align plugin CLI with catalog schema

- adopt catalog terminology for plugin source aliases
- parse package-first plugin catalog metadata from the plugin repo
- install package requirements with optional catalog indexes

* tidy plugin catalog workflow docs

* align plugin catalog CLI with package contract

* add plugin package uninstall workflow

* test plugin package command targets

* document plugin package aliases

* address plugin catalog review feedback

* prefer runtime plugin lookup matches

* rename plugins command to plugin

* show plugin package descriptions

* rename plugin catalogs command

* add protected plugin package installs

* document plugin package install modes

* avoid building project during plugin installs

* harden plugin package installs

* tighten plugin catalog contracts

* fix no-args help exit code

* make plugin docs links robust

* document plugin CLI catalog workflows

* clarify plugin entry point verification

* simplify plugin CLI docs

* narrow plugin search fields

* hide plugin catalog cache ttl

* remove plugin catalog trust flag

* improve plugin CLI recovery UX

* polish plugin catalog table display

* stabilize plugin catalog table test

* tighten plugin catalog edge cases

* harden plugin catalog verification

- Escape catalog-provided Rich markup before rendering CLI output
- Reject runtime plugin names that collide after enum-key normalization
- Load installed runtime entry points in a subprocess before reporting success

* simplify plugin entry point verification

Load matching entry points directly after install instead of spawning a
separate Python process. This keeps the check package-scoped while still
catching broken entry-point targets and non-Plugin objects.

* require newer uv for plugin plans

Use uv >= 0.10.0 as the single supported uv requirement for
plugin package commands. Auto mode now falls back to a pip plan with
an upgrade warning when uv is unavailable or too old, while explicit
uv selection remains strict.

* verify pip fallback availability

* polish plugin CLI status markers

* clarify plugin compatibility labels

* simplify plugin info install details

* address plugin CLI review nits

* support versioned plugin package installs

* share plugin install metadata rendering

* show installed plugin packages

* harden versioned plugin installs

- Preserve catalog requirement constraints for versioned installs
- Remove stale install-plan metadata fields
- Expand parser, uv, controller, and local-catalog dry-run coverage

* harden plugin help tests

* show plugin package versions

Add package version metadata support for plugin catalogs and resolve current versions from exact requirements or simple indexes when catalog entries omit them.

Update plugin list/info/install metadata to show the plugin package version and Data Designer compatibility requirement while removing the separate Data Designer version line.

* format plugin catalog tests

* harden plugin package metadata checks

* harden plugin CLI test coverage

* add plugin discovery docs (#642)
