Dec 1, 2025December 2025 monthly summary for Flow.Launcher: Delivered a Program Plugin Cache Management Enhancement and addressed the corresponding Hide Item bug. Implemented a resetCache parameter to enable immediate cache management for the Program plugin across Win32 and UWP indexing, eliminating the need for a full restart to reflect changes. The fix also resolves the hide item option bug (#4141) and improves UX by reflecting changes promptly. This work reduces friction for end-users and stabilizes plugin behavior during indexing operations.
