Group Plugin Global Merge Fix

Group Plugin Global Merge Fix

Fixed/Implemented in version: 0.233.164

Issue Description

Group workspaces were unable to see or select globally managed actions when the merge_global_semantic_kernel_with_workspace setting was enabled. The group plugins API only returned group-scoped actions, which left the agent creation modal without access to global plugins.

Root Cause

The /api/group/plugins endpoint did not append global actions to its response payload. Because of this, the front-end never received the global entries and could not surface them inside the selection modal.

Code Changes Summary

• Merge global actions into the group plugins API response while marking them as read-only.
• Prevent group routes from creating, updating, or deleting globally managed actions.
• Update the group workspace UI to badge global plugins and block edit/delete attempts.
• Preserve global flags in the agent modal so the selection flow displays accurate scope metadata.

Testing Approach

• Added functional test test_group_plugin_global_merge_fix.py covering the merge helper and normalization logic.

Impact Analysis

Users in group workspaces can now select and use global actions when the merge setting is enabled, while global assets remain protected from modification at the group level.
