mr plugin scoped-access

Decide whether group-limited users and guests may reach one installed plugin. This is a separate decision from enabling: enabling is the operator's consent to what the plugin may do, while this is consent to who may ask it to. It is off by default, so a confined account is refused the plugin's pages, API endpoints, shortcodes, slots and actions, and the actions it may not run are not offered to it either. Guests are read-only, and running an action is a write, so a guest is refused every action run however this is set: opening a plugin gives a guest its pages, shortcodes and slots, and it is offered no actions either way.

Pass the decision explicitly via the required --allowed flag; a bare call would otherwise read as a revocation. Opening a plugin says nothing about what it may then do on a confined caller's behalf, because that caller's database access stays bound to its own group subtree and role. Accounts with no group limit (admins, editors and unscoped users) are unaffected either way. Naming a plugin the server does not have returns a non-zero exit code and the server's message.
