Mohamed Boudra 396a2bc0b2 fix(website): count a plugin install once per IP per hour (#6230)
Repeated install-intent resolves inflated plugin rankings. Deduplicate reports by plugin and hashed Cloudflare IP for one hour, and skip counting when the IP header is absent.

Plugin install counts

Clients report an install by resolving a plugin with X-Paseo-Install: 1 or ?intent=install, using /api/plugins/resolve/<owner>/<slug> or /plugins/<owner>/<slug>.json. Ordinary resolves do not count. These numbers measure install intent, not successful artifact installation or npm downloads.

The worker requires Cloudflare's CF-Connecting-IP header to count a report. It stores the plugin ID plus a SHA-256 hash of the IP in a WEBSITE_CACHE KV key with a one hour TTL, never the raw IP. An existing key skips the count; repeats do not extend the hour. Missing or empty IP headers do not count.

Accepted reports increment the existing all-time total and UTC daily buckets in WEBSITE_CACHE. Daily buckets retain 60 days and supply the website's seven-day and thirty-day rankings. /api/plugins/installs still returns plugin IDs mapped to all-time totals. The registry build reads that endpoint into the published plugin details and index; the website reads windowed counts from KV through its five-minute cache. Existing counts remain intact. The KV guard is advisory: concurrent requests and KV propagation are not serialized.
