sc3-plugins seem to loose their legitimacy over time

Howdy. Every once in a long while, something bad will happen with the sc3-plugins causing them to be unrecognized by my system. I seem to have downloaded and installed this sc3-plugins version in December of 2023. At the time of writing it is June 12th 2024. So, about six months later, I find myself in this mess:

I have been able to reproduce this on at least two other occasions. I only have image proof of this last time because it coincided with me being in the particular frame of mind to be able to write this type of text.

I tried force quitting and starting over a couple of times, then I did a reboot. Same conundrum.

I am running MacOS (pronounced like tacos) 11.5.2, SuperCollider 3.13.0 and sc3-plugins 3.13.0

Is there anything to do here really? Apple sucks now I guess. Oh hey, in case someone just wants to know how I got around this quick fix style:

• Force quite SC • Delete the sc3-plugins in the Extensions folder. if you are not sure where that is run this: Platform.userExtensionDir • Reinstall the sc3-plugins
