- #137483: \[Bug\]: Hermes update switches off LCM automaticaly
- PR #138140: fix(pm): inject a static \[project\].version on virtual workspace members (#137483)

The three members all concern plugin handling around updates or plugin metadata: one reports that a Hermes update turns off LCM automatically, one gives virtual plugin members a stub version, and one preserves lint-only plugin metadata during update. The titles alone do not show whether these share a root cause, so the connection between them is only loosely supported.

## TL;DR

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.40`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
