### External plugins — web: unavailable
Marketplace plugins are native `.dll`, `.so`, or `.dylib` packages launched in
an isolated child process. Browsers cannot load those libraries or spawn the
plugin runner, so the web build does not show the Plugin Manager or register
its commands. Installed desktop plugins remain in the per-user plugins folder
and load again on the next desktop launch.
### Platform shims (`src/sys.rs`)
- `open_url`: `open::that` on native, `window.open(_blank)` on web.
- `download_bytes`: web only (Blob + anchor download).
