Feature Request

When creating a new service or deploying from a template, the UI should:

Automatically detect which plugins are required for the selected operation.
Display a clear, actionable list of these necessary plugins to the user.
Allow users to install the required plugins directly from the same UI (with a one-click install experience), OR
Optionally, install all necessary plugins automatically if the user prefers.

Motivation

This will streamline the service creation/deployment workflow, reduce friction for new users, and help prevent failures due to missing plugins.

Acceptance Criteria

The plugin requirements are clearly displayed when initiating service creation or deployment from a template.
Users can install required plugins from the same UI, or opt for automatic installation.
The system reliably detects and handles plugin dependencies.
Errors and edge cases (e.g., failed installs, permissions) are surfaced in a user-friendly manner.

Additional Notes

Consider supporting batch plugin installation if multiple plugins are required.
Provide visual feedback/progress indication during installs.
Ensure actions are auditable for admin users.
