Order the BB Official shelf: optional plugins first, then on-by-default, each newest first

[brsbl]

Human comments

What was wrong

The BB Official shelf listed plugins in bundled-registry order, so its first cards never changed. Most of those cards were plugins every user already has. Production web builds also omitted publication dates because their checkout was shallow.

What changed

• The BB Official shelf now lists plugins you can add or turn on first, newest first.
• Plugins that are on by default come last, also newest first.
• The bundled catalog generator computes this order once, so the app, bb plugin search and getbb.app all read the same order.
• No runtime ranking, stats fields or wire changes.
• Web deploys fetch full git history and use a fresh Turbo cache namespace, so getbb.app keeps publication dates.

How you verified

• Remote CI passed on 52dc5f8d9: 45 passed and 3 skipped. A flaky Windows host-daemon timing test passed on rerun. Run
• Generator tests cover the grouping, newest-first order and undated entries.
• A generator test checks that the built catalog matches the rule.
• The app (headless Chrome 155, bb Browser Automation) and a local getbb.app both show optional plugins first on head 52dc5f8d9.

Expire stale recent-install signals before ranking

When the stats sidecar stops refreshing, the server deliberately retains the stored statsJson after fetch failures, but this ranking treats its recentInstalls as current forever and never considers the sidecar's generatedAt. A plugin that once crossed the five-install threshold therefore remains in the privileged trending cohort indefinitely—even weeks after the cached window ceased being recent—and can continue outranking newly published plugins. Preserve the generation timestamp and ignore or age out recentInstalls once the snapshot is stale.
