Description

This pr implements the ability to disable plugins. Pretty self explanatory.

Resolves issue #350

Discussion relating to implementation can be found here for reference. https://discord.com/channels/960281551428522045/1424643765888352339

Additional changes

Inlcudes changes from PR Plugin update checking fixes and UI improvements #816 as requested.
Adds 15s timeout to frontend importPlugin call. This is to prevent a hung request to load js from blocking other plugins from loading. This bug is discussed in this thread https://discord.com/channels/960281551428522045/1424643765888352339/1425181590522429550

Approving workflow for testing :)

@jessebofill the linter is failing; you may want to adjust your formatting in the files which it didn't like.

…Incidentally, will update checks still work with the disabled plugins? A major reason to use this functionality (IMO) is to disable plugins broken by a Steam UI update until they support the changes (instead of uninstalling them); and I'd prefer not having to re-enable the plugin manually every day just to check if it had a fix release since.

You may want to adjust your wording here 🤔

Yes, they still get checked for updates while a plugin is disabled.

if a request hangs this prevent it from blocking other plugin loads. backend diaptch_plugin which calls this for individual plugin load (as opposed to batch) is set to 15s. other callers of importPlugin are not using timeout, same as before.

Thanks for PR!
It's a nice feature!

I noticed that while I'm on Plugins tab in Decky Settings, loader (?) send a lot of requests to https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/plugins which is not very good...

In rest, seems that everything works fine.

OS Version: 3.7.17
OS Build: 20251027.1
From installed plugins, I have only SDH-PlayTime.

I disabled it and entered a game, in SharedJSContext, while doing it I didn't notice any log messages or API calls to SDH-PlayTime back-end.
Then I turned off the game, enabled SDH-PlayTime plugin back, entered a game and I got my log messages back.

Summary:
Except small DoS attack on https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/plugins everything works fine.

I was able to confirm this. I didn't notice it before because it's only in verbose logs. I'll have to look into it.

Ok I pushed the fix for this.

@jessebofill , can confirm that last commit fixed the issue!

Thanks!

Sent a message to our dev team asking if anyone else wants to look at the code before a merge since I'm not super familiar with Decky Loader's backend code. Assuming there are no issues, this should be merged within the next 24 hours.
