ChangesBackend parameter management
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes plugin lifecycle and related agent state handling, but a failed remote-data refresh can still remove valid remote metadata and potentially invalidate active request handles. Merge should wait for transactional failure handling or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

getBackendParamsholdsmutex_while it callsgetBackendMems()andgetBackendOptions(). These methods dispatch to plugin-provided callbacks. (raw.githubusercontent.com) When a temporary handle is loaded, itsshared_ptrmay be destroyed before the lock guard leaves scope. Plugin cleanup can then run whilemutex_is held.

🤖 CI Triage Agent — TL;DR: The NIXL/EP build fully succeeded; the job failed only when trying to grab a GB200 node — Full analysisSummary: Stage "Allocate DL EP Environment" (#156) failed: Root cause: Slurm allocation Implicated commit: none — infrastructure/resource issue, unrelated to the PR commit [REDACTED:Hex High Entropy String].

🤖 CI Triage Agent — TL;DR: The Full analysisSummary: The Slurm allocation for the GPU test environment failed to secure a node within its immediate-allocation timeout, so the build aborted before any DL tests ran. Root cause: Implicated commit: unknown — the failure is environmental (Slurm resource contention on the CI cluster), not attributable to commit [REDACTED:Hex High Entropy String]. File: Jenkins stage "Allocate DL Environment" (node 168); allocation call: Suggested fix: Retry the build — this is a transient capacity failure. If it recurs, check Related: none

1754-1756: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftKeep the previous remote registration when a refresh fails.
remoteSections_.try_emplacereuses an existingnixlRemoteSection. IfloadRemoteDatareturns an error, the failure path at Lines 1759-1760 still erases that existing section andremoteBackends_. A failed refresh therefore removes valid remote metadata and can expire request handles, despite the new contract that handles retire only after explicit invalidation. Load the update transactionally and preserve the existing section and connection state on failure.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What?
Prevents plugins to be unloaded when a call to
nixlAgent::getPluginParams()runs concurrently to another operation that loads (and doesn't want to unload) a plugin.Also improves code readability regarding the mutex, clarifies role of the unload function and removes the unused function for telemetry plugins.
