[Plugin] Zotero Atlas: find, check and install plugins from inside Zotero

Hi all,

Last week I posted about zoteroplugins.org, which reads the code of every Zotero plugin release and grades it. Zotero Atlas is the same catalogue inside Zotero. It's free and open source (MIT), for Zotero 7 and later.

What it does

* Find plugins in Zotero (Tools → Zotero Atlas…): search 1,500+ plugins, filtered to your Zotero version, each with its Zotero Plugins grade and the reason for it.
* Install in one click. Atlas installs the exact file that was analysed, and Zotero checks it against the catalogue's SHA-256.
* Grades in Tools → Plugins, next to the plugins you already have, and a note only when something needs you, for example an update graded lower than the version you have.
* Optional: hold plugin updates until they've been checked. A checked update that isn't graded lower installs as usual. Plugins the directory doesn't list are never held, and removing Atlas gives Zotero its normal updates back.

What it sends. Never your library, notes, files, Zotero account, email, or anything that identifies you. On first run it asks whether to send the list of plugins you have installed; "send" is preselected, and you can say no there or later in its settings. We use the totals to see which plugins people use, and we don't publish them.

Its own grade is B, from the same pipeline as every other plugin, because it changes other plugins (holding updates is exactly that): https://zoteroplugins.org/p/zotero-atlas

Feedback welcome, especially on what it should and shouldn't interrupt you for.

Would truly appreciate any feedback. Thank you
