* fix(plugins): surface host service failures when loading plugins When a host service failed to initialize during plugin load (e.g. the taskqueue database could not be created because the data folder is not writable), the error was logged and swallowed, and its host functions were silently omitted. Instantiation then failed with a misleading error such as '"task_createqueue" is not exported in module "extism:host/user"', which reads as a plugin/host API mismatch and gets wrongly blamed on plugin authors (see kgarner7/navidrome-listenbrainz-daily-playlist#26). Host service factories now return an error, and loadPluginWithConfig fails fast with the actual cause (e.g. 'creating Task service: creating plugin data directory: ...'), which is also stored in the plugin's last_error. Closers accumulated before a load failure are now closed (via a deferred guard covering all failure paths), so partially-created services no longer leak goroutines or database handles. Also fix a panic in 'navidrome plugin enable': CLI commands use the plugin Manager without calling Start, so manager.ctx was nil and newTaskQueueService panicked in context.WithCancel. Long-lived host services (taskqueue, kvstore, websocket) now receive their lifecycle context explicitly in the constructor, sourced from serviceContext.baseCtx(), which falls back to context.Background() for the unstarted-manager case. * docs(plugins): correct websocket readLoop lifecycle comment The comment claimed the read loop's context is always cancelled during application shutdown, which is not true when the manager was never started (one-shot CLI runs, where baseCtx falls back to context.Background()). Clarify that connection closure via Close() on plugin unload is what ends the read loop, with context cancellation as a server-shutdown backstop. Addresses review feedback on #5756. * test(plugins): exclude plugin-loading specs from Windows builds The new loadPluginWithConfig specs reference test suite helpers (testdataDir, noopMetricsRecorder) defined in plugins_suite_test.go, which is excluded on Windows, breaking test compilation there. Move the specs to their own file with the same build constraint, keeping the pure-function specs in manager_loader_test.go running on Windows as before.
