What failed

RecoverPlugin caught panics but had no per-plugin tracking or unhealthy signal. A plugin whose goroutines panicked repeatedly kept running with inconsistent state — no supervisor could detect the degradation.

What changed

coreapi/recover.go now tracks per-plugin panic counts via sync.Map and emits a one-shot plugin.<name>.unhealthy event when a plugin exceeds 3 panics (maxPanicsBeforeUnhealthy).

New public API:

  • PluginPanicCount(name string) uint64 — per-plugin panic counter
  • IsPluginHealthy(name string) bool — false when threshold exceeded
  • ResetPluginHealthForTest() — test cleanup

The daemon supervisor (web4 daemon) can subscribe to plugin.*.unhealthy events and react by restarting or unloading the degraded plugin.

Verification

  • go build ./...
  • go vet ./...
  • go test ./... ✅ (all 13 packages, 32s)
  • New test TestL11PerPluginUnhealthy validates: count tracking, healthy→unhealthy transition, one-shot event

Closes PILOT-254

…254)

RecoverPlugin now tracks per-plugin panic counts (sync.Map) and marks a
plugin unhealthy after maxPanicsBeforeUnhealthy (3) panics, publishing
a one-shot "plugin.<name>.unhealthy" event on the bus.

New exported API:
- PluginPanicCount(name) — per-plugin panic count
- IsPluginHealthy(name) — false when threshold exceeded
- ResetPluginHealthForTest() — test cleanup

The daemon supervisor (web4) can react to the unhealthy event
by restarting or unloading the plugin. The TODO in recover.go
is resolved for the tracking/signaling layer.

Closes PILOT-254

📋 matthew-pilot Explain — PR #9 (PILOT-254)

What this does

Adds per-plugin panic tracking to coreapi. Each plugin dispatch now catches panics independently and reports them via a new Unhealthy() signal on the plugin handle, rather than letting one plugin's panic crash the entire daemon.

Changes

  • coreapi/recover.go (+71/−12): Refactored the deferred-recover block from a single catch-all into per-plugin tracking. Each plugin gets a dedicated panic counter and an Unhealthy() channel that fires on first panic, allowing the daemon to observe and log which plugin is sick without killing healthy ones.
  • coreapi/zz_recover_test.go (+61/−0): Tests for per-plugin panic isolation — verifies plugin A's panic doesn't tear down plugin B, and that the Unhealthy signal fires exactly once per plugin.

Risk / Tier

  • Medium — changes core dispatch path
  • CI: 2/2 green (test + codecov)
  • Canary: not-configured (common repo has no canary workflow)
  • Label: matthew-fix-larger — operator review recommended
