Symptoms

A notification says plugins "are incompatible with this IDE build", features disappear after an update, or the IDE fails to start with a plugin error.

Why it happens

• IDE build moved to a new version and the plugin author has not published a compatible release
• Plugin version pinned to an older build
• Abandoned or paid third-party plugin whose licence does not cover the new version
