Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Treat the plugin package, the running Hermes gateway, and any companion service as separate layers.

Look for the advertised tool, plugin-load messages, and any documented socket or health endpoint.
A plugin installer does not automatically provision a repository's HTTP API, Uvicorn process, systemd unit, dependencies, or mobile bridge. Verify each of these separately. Check listener state, unauthenticated health, authenticated Diagnostics, service identity, and fresh process/timestamp after a restart without printing credentials.
An enabled plugin may still fail during import or registration. Capture the actual loader traceback before theorizing. For namespace-loaded directory plugins, sibling imports generally need package-relative form. Check runtime directory ownership and socket-parent permissions for bridge processes.
Do not bypass Hermes restart safety guards from inside the gateway process tree. Report installed, enabled, loaded, bridge-ready, and API-ready states separately. Never claim a plugin is active solely because it appears in an enabled listing.
