Usually the stuff that breaks plugins are incompatible core changes, often things don’t even boot if you include a problem plugin, or bootstrap

An all plugins off feature would have to restart the app somehow to be correct

I think I would be open to a docker manager plugin change that would allow you to easily disable/enable plugins by moving stuff in and out of the plugins directory and restart the app, it could make debugging faster
