Development record

A session start says nothing when the installed plugin is older than the newest published release, so a fix that has shipped (such as the SessionEnd staging change) never reaches a person whose plugin did not update, and nothing tells them to update. The start-of-session notice that exists compares the plugin surface with the binary serving it, and only reports a plugin newer than its binary; asking for the newest release is left to abcd update --check alone, which a session never runs.
