Issue

When installing a plugin the ‘cool’ way (modifying ~/.hyper.js while the terminal is running, adding a line, hitting save), the user-experience is actually pretty great — no strange errors, then suddenly a notification that the user can reload to see the changes. Cool!

However, if a more traditional method is employed — quitting the application before modifying its configuration — the experience is pretty unintuitive. If I quit, then add an entry to ~/.hyper.js, and then launch Hyper, I see this:

… followed by no further retraction or indication that, oh, hey, it just hadn't installed yet, everything is kosher now.

The “load plugins on initial launch” process needs to be modified to be as user-friendly if a package is not-yet-installed as the hot-reloading process! (=

研究方向: Examine the plugin loading code in Hyper, specifically the initialization sequence when the app starts. Compare with the hot reload path that shows a friendly notification. Look for where error messages are generated (likely in the plugin loader module, e.g., 'plugin loader.ts' or similar). The fix should ensure that if a plugin is not yet installed on initial launch, it either waits or provides a clear message instead of an unhelpful error. Consider adding a timeout or retry mechanism with user feedback.
