+# Sync image-baked plugins into the /config (datadir) plugins directory on
+# start. /config is an RWX volume shared across replicas, so plugins baked
+# into the image are invisible until copied in here -- and this must be safe
+# when several replicas start (or restart) at the same instant:
+#   - skip entirely once the correct version is already in place, so the
+#     steady state (almost every start) never touches the shared volume;
+#   - install a new/changed version via copy-to-staging + atomic rename, so
+#     no reader (another replica, or this container's own jellyfin process)
+#     ever observes a partially-written plugin directory. A replica that
+#     loses the rename race just discards its own copy -- that's success,
+#     not an error;
+#   - drop stale, differently-versioned copies of the same plugin afterwards
+#     so they don't shadow the current one. Best-effort: another replica may
+#     already be doing, or have finished, the same cleanup.
+# Deliberately no locking: a lock held by a replica that dies mid-sync would
+# wedge every future start on this volume, which is worse than the race it
+# would prevent.
