Closes #140

What

• pluginkit.Registration[D, P] is one compiled plugin's id and Register. pluginkit.RegisterEach(entries, depsFor) calls each entry with the dependencies depsFor builds for its id, in order, each inside its own recover, and goes on past an error or a panic. It answers a RegisterOutcome with the plugins that registered and a Failure for each one that did not, at the new StepRegister, with Panicked set only for a recovered panic.
• depsFor runs outside the recover, so a panic while the application builds a plugin's dependencies reaches the application.
• wire.Config.RegistrationList makes each generated Go file hold, in place of registerPlugins and All, a list of every backend plugin's id and Register, pluginRegistrations in the main file and Registrations in the registry. Each entry wraps the plugin's own Register, so a failed Register answers a true nil. The file imports pluginkit as pluginKit, a name no lowercase plugin id can take, and is laid out as gofmt lays it out.
• With RegistrationList unset, every generated file keeps today's bytes.
• The host's recover now names a panic whose value panics again while it is printed by its type, as hooks already do. Before, such a value crashed the process from inside the recover.
• The behaviour is written as scenarios in pluginkit/features/registration.feature.

Why

A downstream application compiles up to 200 plugins. It must register only the ones its admin turned on, give each one its own settings and logger, and pause a plugin whose Register fails or panics while the rest of the site starts.

Testing

• go test -race -shuffle=on passes for pluginkit and pluginkit/wire, and coverage stays at 100% in both.
• 12 scenarios with 65 steps pass in registration.feature, beside the hook and screen scenarios, 20 times in a row under -race. One scenario generates the list into a fresh module, builds it with go run and registers each plugin, once with an SDK that aliases pluginkit.Plugin and once with an SDK that declares its own Plugin. Breaking each new behaviour on purpose fails the scenarios that describe it.
• Every generated registration list is unchanged by go/format.
• Mutation testing killed all 12 mutants on the changed lines.
• A test that crashed the test binary before the recover fix now passes.
• CodeScene scores 10.0 on the changed files except wire.go, which keeps its earlier 8.74, and the new steps file at 9.38, since godog hands every captured word to a step as a string.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an option for generated Go files to provide an ordered list of backend plugin registrations.
  • Added a registration helper that builds dependencies for each plugin, records successes and failures, and continues after registration errors or panics.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved panic reporting so formatting a panic value that itself panics no longer crashes recovery.

Walkthrough

The change adds an API that registers selected plugins in order, builds dependencies for each plugin, and records registration failures. The wiring generator can optionally emit registration lists instead of registration functions. Panic formatting also handles panic values that fail during formatting.

Changes: Plugin registration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-plugin registration and recovery pluginkit/registration.go, pluginkit/start_each.go, pluginkit/host.go, pluginkit/registration_test.go, pluginkit/start_each_test.go	RegisterEach calls each registration with dependencies built for its ID. It records errors and recovered panics by registration step, then continues. guarded uses describe to format recovered panic values.
Generated registration lists pluginkit/wire/wire.go, pluginkit/wire/registration_test.go	When RegistrationList is enabled, generated files contain typed registration lists for backend plugins. Otherwise, the generator retains the existing function-based output.
Registration integration coverage pluginkit/features/features_test.go, pluginkit/features/registration.feature, pluginkit/features/steps_registration_test.go, pluginkit/CHANGELOG.md	Feature scenarios and the test harness cover generated lists, per-plugin dependencies, failures, and generated applications with two Plugin interface forms. The changelog records the additions.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a5bc7

The change adds per-plugin registration and optional generated registration lists. The code looks sound; only a code-health gate on a test file fails and may need a small refactor before merge.

Explanation

[#140] RegistrationList generates ordered backend registration entries and preserves the existing output when unset. The entries support both SDK plugin type forms and return true nil on error. RegisterEach builds dependencies outside recovery, registers entries in order, and reports failures at StepRegister while continuing. Host recovery uses safe panic naming. Unit tests and Gherkin scenarios cover these behaviors, including generated-list builds.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 53.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 15 functions across 9 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge based on the changes since the previous review.

Summary

Adds ordered plugin registration with per-plugin dependencies and failure reporting.

• Applications can register selected plugins one at a time.
• Generated Go wiring can expose backend plugins as registration lists.
• Plugin failures stay reportable when a panic value breaks printing.
• CodeScene applies different scoring rules to Go test files.

Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Fix the CodeScene quality gate failure for this file.

The CI check reports code health 9.39 against the required 10.00. The reported rules are Primitive Obsession and String Heavy Function Arguments. The pipeline output does not name the functions.

Likely candidates are step handlers that take several string arguments. Examples are holds(path, part string, want bool), failedAt(id, step, text string), receivedDeps(id, owner string), onlyFrontend(id, frontend string) and registerPanics(id, value string).

The file also holds two concerns: the in-process RegisterEach steps and the build-and-run steps (Lines 460-642). Apply these changes:

• Move the build-and-run steps to their own file, for example steps_registration_build_test.go.
• Group related strings into small value types. Examples are a registrationFailure for the expected failure and a wiringFile for a path and the text to find.
• Keep thin handlers that only take the strings godog passes.

Run CodeScene locally to confirm the flagged functions before you refactor.

Also applies to: 364-373
