Extract
- Cycles denoiser enum.
- Extensions user preferences UI.
- Node operator poll message from new node function.
Improve
- Split "(Enabled|Disabled) on startup, overriding the preference."
into two messages.
Disambiguate
- "Add" when describing the action of adding something should use the
Operator context.
- "Dimensions", in noise textures.
- "Transform" as a noun, the matrix transform type of Geometry Nodes,
as opposed to the verb to move things in space.
- "Parent" as a noun or verb (the parent of an object, to parent an
object to another).

Changes to the remote repository JSON format hadn't been properly
accounted for, a quick-fix was left in that converted the JSON
package listing into a dictionary as it was accessed (every redraw).
Update the behavior to perform the conversion when loading the data
from the JSON. This is also needed for multi platform & blender-version
support.
Prevent non-compliant data in remote repositories from causing errors
in Blender's interface.
Move from a dictionary to a named-tuple which uses normalized values.
Previously these were shown as missing add-ons, since they have been
intentionally removed, remove them as part of versioning instead
of showing them as "Missing Add-ons". This is especially important
for X3D & STL which were enabled by default which meant any user
loading 4.1 preferences would have them shown as missing add-ons.
Local repositories no longer convert manifest files into a JSON file
(that matched the format of the remote repositories JSON data).
Instead the data is loaded directly from the manifest files.
This is necessary to support read-only "System" repositories.
Use a class to generalize loading from both data sources to simplify the
implementation which was previously inlined.
This fixes an error where stale data from the manifests was
sometimes used because the generated JSON was considered up to date.
- "Show the result of running commands in the main interface...": add
punctuation.
- "Re-Installed" -> "Reinstalled" seems more common.
- "increase_" and "decrease_subdivision" in the Grease Pencil
modal...: use title case instead of snake case for label.
- "Use a automatic number..." -> "an", typo.
- "... points,{} splines": missing space.
- "End Frame is larger than Start Frame": wrong order in error message.
- "Approximate the object as sphere, which diameter is equal to
thickness the defined...": grammar.
- "Show Seconds" -> "Use Timecode": this option is not necessarily about
seconds. Suggested by Pablo Vasquez.
- Brightness and contrast node input descriptions: add missing spaces.
- "Gamma controls the relative intensity... full white.": remove
trailing ".".

The old add-ons UI had a "Refresh" operator that would re-scan
the file-system and show any changes.
Add an equivalent operator that works for both extensions and legacy
add-ons and add it to the extension menu.
This is useful for a few situations:
- Refresh based on changes to "System" repositories which are read-only
from Blender and intended to be manipulated outside of Blender.
- Anyone managing their own "User" repository.
- For developers to create extensions, where re-starting to see changes
to meta-data is inconvenient.
- Troubleshooting problems parsing extension meta-data as problems are
reported to the operator.
The following operations have been removed for system repositories:
- Installing from disk.
- Uninstall extensions.
- Delete files (when removing the repository).
Also change the operator to remove a repository so the option to
remove files is now a boolean instead of an enum. While a dynamic
enum can be made to work, this option is logically a boolean.
Since these actions are no longer blocking, 100 times a second could
add unnecessary overhead (although updates are only shown when changes
are detected). Nevertheless, reduce the frequency to 10 times a second.
When installing extensions, the user could exit Blender which wasn't
being handled properly - the processes would be left running and raise
a broken pipe error (on Linux).
Resolve this by canceling the processes, matching the behavior of when
escape is pressed.
This means exiting Blender while installing/updating wont leave the
repositories in an unknown state.
Since [0] there was no way to refresh local repositories,
with the poll messages suggesting to restart Blender to see updates
which isn't practical for developers.
The ability to refresh was prevented when "Online Access" was disabled,
meaning a developer couldn't easily develop their own add-ons unless
they were online.

The buttons to upgrade or sync extensions called extension
operators via bpy.app.handlers, requiring awkward glue-code
which didn't show error reports in to the user.
Remove these operators and call the upgrade & sync operators directly.
Based on feedback in !122727, include previously built-in add-ons
in the built-in extensions panel even if there is no support for
adding it back via the extensions repository.
This groups all the add-ons from 4.1 which were enabled but are no
longer distributed with Blender and provides an easy way for users to
install them. This panel is collapsed by default.

Replace LZMA with ZLIB compression as default tools on Linux & Windows
can't decompress these ZIP files and some users wish to open and inspect
the extensions.
While LZMA has the potential for significantly better compression it
turns out the actual gains were marginal for extensions that contain
many Python files (compared with `tar.lzma`) because each file is
compressed individually, see #122710.
Scanning the file-system for paths to include didn't detect cases when
explicitly included paths (such as wheels) were missing.
Change the logic to build a list of paths which is merged with pattern
matched paths (de-duplicating), then add all files into the ZIP.
Any missing paths will raise an error.
