/-/plugins should list permissions registered by each plugin

[simonw]

Would make the display of plugins more useful as their permissions would be self-documenting.

e.g. this:

    {
        "name": "datasette-upload-dbs",
        "static": false,
        "templates": true,
        "version": "0.3.2",
        "hooks": [
            "menu_links",
            "permission_allowed",
            "register_permissions",
            "register_routes",
            "startup"
        ]
    }

Could include this:

    {
        "permissions" ["upload-dbs"]
    }

Maybe with more info than that too.

The tricky thing here is that plugin hooks in Pluggy don't by default tell you which plugin called them - and we need register_permissions() to track that.

Thanks to o4-mini-high https://chatgpt.com/share/680c5fa2-81ac-8006-9997-12de7fc14a7c I have a hint as to how to do that:

from llm.plugins import pm
caller = pm.hook.register_models
caller.get_hookimpls()  # Initially empty

# Import CLI and register commands
from llm.cli import cli
pm.hook.register_commands(cli=cli)

# Check hook implementations after registration
caller.get_hookimpls()  # Now populated
len(caller.get_hookimpls())  # 12

# List plugin names
[impl.plugin_name for impl in caller.get_hookimpls()]

# Examine plugin implementation details
impl = caller.get_hookimpls()[0]
dir(impl)  # View available attributes

# Get plugin name and function pairs
[(impl.plugin_name, impl.function) for impl in caller.get_hookimpls()]

Hi @simonw Is this issue still worth to take? If it is then is it okay for me make a pr for this?
