go-plugin gives each secrets plugin a control socket at /tmp/pluginNNN.
The daily systemd-tmpfiles-clean deletes /tmp files older than the OS
policy, which severs the socket of a long-lived plugin while its process
keeps running. Every request then fails with rpc Unavailable / dial unix
/tmp/pluginNNN: no such file, until a plugin reload respawns it. This hit
the litellm engine (terraform-vault#112) but the risk is shared by every
OpenBao plugin (gpg, rancher, gitea, ...).
Ship a tmpfiles.d exclude (x /tmp/plugin*) on all vault servers so plugin
sockets survive the cleaner. Takes effect on the next clean, no restart.
