Loaded plugins currently have no way to discover or install a newer validated version from inside CurveMole, and every contribution uses the same diamond marker. This makes maintenance manual and obscures which plugin provides each command or function.
This PR adds a plugin update controller that checks only currently loaded plugins against the validated Community Plugins catalog at startup and hourly. A status badge and Plugin Manager entry show available versions. Selected updates are downloaded, bounded, checked against the catalog fingerprint, validated for identity and API compatibility, and staged atomically for the next application start. The running plugin remains active so fits, panels and automatic imports are not interrupted. Failed downloads retain the previous installation; private, disabled, unloaded and entry-point plugins are not changed.
Each plugin now receives a persistent distinct symbol. The symbol appears consistently on contributions and functions, while tooltips name the providing plugin in menus, function selectors, components, solvers, automatic workflows and the Plugin Manager.
Documentation covers update behavior and keeps plugin-specific manuals inside each downloaded plugin. This is marked as a minor application release because both features change CurveMole's general plugin host.
