Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the plugin installation flow and the host CLI version handling, then clarify whether minimum-version requirements are supported. Done requires a settled implementation scope and an explicit expected outcome for unsupported CLI versions.

Description

enhancement

I have had a bit of a look around and I can't find anything, so I thought I would ask.

Is there a way to fail the installation of a plugin because the underlying project it is being installed into isn't a high enough version?

I ask as I am currently adding a feature to the core CLI that plugins will be able to use. And I'd like to be able to prompt to update the CLI and fail the installation of a plugin if that feature isn't available. Is this possible? Thanks!
