- #134107: \[Bug\]: Bundled 'solstice' provider fails to load in the stripped PM runtime (top-level httpx import) — warning leaks to terminal/TUI via inherited stderr
- PR #134235: fix: silence provider warnings on the update path (config + probe isolation + buffered replay)
- PR #134581: fix(solstice): defer httpx import until client creation

These items address a bug where the bundled solstice provider causes warnings or load failures in the stripped plugin manager runtime due to a top-level httpx import. Fixes involve lazy transport initialization and registering solstice correctly without requiring httpx.
