I'm having a detection issue on macOS as well -- noting that this may help in that scenario as well. |

Nice work! Clean solution with proper fallback detection for Linux compatibility. Good catch on the caniuse-lite dependency resolution too.
The implementation maintains existing behavior while gracefully handling the platform difference. Ready to merge! 🚀

Description
This PR fixes an issue where the Smart Connections plugin is not detected by MCP Tools on Linux systems, even though Smart Connections is installed and fully functional.
Problem
On Linux, Smart Connections doesn't consistently expose its API via
window.SmartSearch. Instead, it's accessible through Obsidian's plugin system atapp.plugins.plugins["smart-connections"].env.Solution
Added a fallback detection mechanism that:
window.SmartSearch(works on some platforms)app.plugins.plugins["smart-connections"].env(fixes Linux)window.SmartSearchfor consistencyChanges
loadSmartSearchAPIfunction inpackages/obsidian-plugin/src/shared/index.tsenvproperty on the smart-connections pluginTesting
Tested on Linux (Ubuntu) with:
Before fix: Smart Connections shows as ❌ not installed
After fix: Smart Connections shows as ✅ installed
✅ All TypeScript checks pass (
bun run check)Related Issues
Fixes detection issue on Linux systems where Smart Connections is functional but not detected.
