Research direction
The issue is that plugins failing to load (e.g., due to missing 'nodobjc') are marked as not installed and there is no way to remove them from the plugin list. Investigate the plugin loading and management logic in `externalPlugins.js`. Look for how plugins are registered and if there is an existing uninstall mechanism that could be extended to handle failed plugins. The plugin directory is typically in `~/Library/Application Support/Cerebro/plugins/node modules/`. Consider adding a 'Remove' button or context menu option for failed plugins, or modifying the plugin list UI to allow deletion of entries that failed to load.
