QmlIoCContext to m_engineV1 or explicitly delete it in teardownV1, ensuring

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftDestroy open
ExtensionViewerinstances before reloading extensions.
ExtensionsProvider::reloadExtensions()can run during extension installation or removal while anExtensionViewerDialogremains open. The reload clears the V2 cache and destroys the V1 engine beforeExtensionsRegister::reload()sends its notification. That notification updates registries and models; it does not close the dialog.The viewer retains its created plugin item. Therefore, a V2 viewer can continue executing its old compiled QML handlers, including stale
onRuncode. A V1 viewer can retain a live plugin object initialized with the deleted V1QQmlEngineandExtApiV1; later API or plugin-handler use can access invalid engine state and fail.Make the reload boundary close and destroy all active viewers before
clearComponentCache()andteardownV1(). Reload the manifests only after those instances are gone.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

The engines keep the code they compiled the first time a plugin ran, so editing a plugin had no effect until the application was restarted.
The button talked to the register directly, so a reload refreshed the manifests while the engines kept serving the old code.

The V1 teardown is gone. Clearing the component cache is enough for an edited plugin to be picked up on the next run, and it keeps an already open plugin window working, which the teardown did not. With the engines kept alive there is nothing left to protect the viewers from, so they are not closed either. |

Summary
Context
Reloading picked up a plugin's manifest, which is why
titleappeared to update, whileonRunkept executing the code compiled on the first load.The engines are kept alive: a plugin window left open was built by one of them and outlives the reload.
clearComponentCache()is a no-op at startup, wherereloadExtensions()also runs: neither engine has been created yet.Closes musescore/MuseScore#26329
