`plugins` sat in WATCH_SUBDIRS, so it got fs.watch({recursive:true}).
On Linux that's a userland tree walk costing ONE inotify watch per
directory, and ~/.claude/plugins is the plugin cache: full git checkouts
with node_modules, 44k+ directories. The dashboard process held 65,464
watches against the default fs.inotify.max_user_watches of 65536,
leaving none for systemd/IBus — IBus exited on boot and Unikey died
with it.
Config Explorer only reads two top-level files out of that tree
(installed_plugins.json, known_marketplaces.json), so watch plugins/
flat: 1 watch instead of 44k. The small config subdirs stay recursive.
Measured on the running service: 65,464 -> 96 watches, and touching
installed_plugins.json still broadcasts cc_config_changed.
