23-23: Verify NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE file persistence.The PR objectives mention that users create a
NO_ALPHA_INSTANCEempty file to disable the alpha instance. However, the file patterns on lines 23 and 47 ('*.csv', '*.lng', '*.db', '*.ini', 'Session*.json') won't match this filename.Confirm whether this file should be explicitly added to the copy patterns (e.g.,
'NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE') or if it's stored in a location already covered by the plugins directory persistence.Also applies to: 47-47
17-48: Plugin directory approach looks sound.The separation of plugin persistence from session/config data is well-organized, and ensuring directories exist before operations is defensive. Once the
-Recurseflags are added, the persistence strategy should be robust.

Add -Recurse flag to preserve nested plugin directory structures.
The Copy-Item command without -Recurse won't copy subdirectories and their contents. Since plugins typically organize files in nested directories, this will lose plugin structure during install.

In bucket/everything-alpha.json around line 24, the Copy-Item call used to copy
plugins omits the -Recurse flag so subdirectories and their contents won’t be
copied; update the command to include -Recurse (i.e., add the -Recurse option to
the Copy-Item invocation) so nested plugin directory structures are preserved
during install.

The existing plugins are all single DLLs for now.

@SiriosDev, thank you for clarifying! If the plugins are currently single DLL files without subdirectories, then the current implementation is sufficient. The -Recurse flag would only be needed if plugins start using nested directory structures in the future. Your approach works well for the current use case.

Learning: In the Everything application (everything-alpha package), plugins are currently single DLL files stored in the `plugins` folder without nested subdirectories, so `-Recurse` flag is not needed when copying plugin files.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Add -Recurse flag to preserve nested plugin directory structures during uninstall.
Same issue as line 24: plugin subdirectories won't be copied back to persist_dir without the -Recurse flag.

In bucket/everything-alpha.json around line 46, the PowerShell Copy-Item
invocation used during uninstall is missing the -Recurse flag so nested plugin
subdirectories are not preserved; update the command to include -Recurse (i.e.,
add the -Recurse parameter to Copy-Item) so that plugin subdirectories are
copied back into "$persist_dir\plugins" recursively, keeping ErrorAction
SilentlyContinue and -Force as-is.

@SiriosDev, thank you for the clarification! If all current plugins are single DLL files without nested subdirectories, then the current implementation without -Recurse will work correctly for the existing use case.
The suggestion was meant as a future-proofing measure in case plugins ever include subdirectories, but it's perfectly fine to keep it as-is given the current plugin architecture. Your implementation handles the current requirements appropriately.
