The nginx deploy-time pre-validation runs `nginx -t` against a minimal wrapper that omits the global `load_module` directives, so a custom `nginx.conf.sigil` using a directive from a dynamically loaded module fails validation even though it is valid against the running server. Document overriding the `validate-config` template through the `nginx-app-template-source` trigger as the supported workaround.
Pin DOKKU_SYSTEM_USER and DOKKU_SYSTEM_GROUP to the current process user in test setup so PropertyListWrite succeeds in CI Docker where the dokku group does not exist.
Add parallel -list keys to docker-options:report --format json so export
tools can round-trip options without splitting space-joined strings.
Closes#8799
Add buildpacks:set --replace so callers can replace an app's complete ordered buildpack list in one command while preserving existing single-buildpack and --index behavior.
Closes#8802
Align autoscaling-auth:report with annotations and labels reporting so export tools can recover configured trigger auth via flat JSON keys and info flags, while stdout stays secret-safe unless --include-metadata is used.
Closes#8800
With every bash :report subcommand now ported to golang, the shared fn-report-parse-args, fn-report-emit-json, fn-report-filter-global and fn-report-validate-format helpers are no longer referenced and are removed.
The bash :report implementation for the nginx-vhosts plugin is replaced with a compiled golang binary that reuses the plugin's existing golang property getters, so every raw, global and computed key is unchanged while collection runs in parallel and json is marshalled directly. The global report keeps its existing behaviour of surfacing only the global keys.
The bash :report implementation for the scheduler-docker-local plugin is replaced with a compiled golang binary. The plugin already shipped golang code, so the report subcommand is added alongside its existing triggers binary, and the init-process and parallel-schedule-count helpers remain in bash for the deploy pipeline.
The bash :report implementation for the git plugin is replaced with a compiled golang binary. Property, computed and global keys are collected in parallel, while the sha and last-updated-at keys still shell out to git and stat the deploy branch ref so their values are unchanged. The non-report git helpers such as fn-git-cmd and the computed deploy-branch and keep-git-dir getters remain in place for the build pipeline.
The bash :report implementation for the certs plugin is replaced with a compiled golang binary. The certificate inspection getters run openssl and reproduce the existing field extraction, so the ssl report keys are unchanged, while collection now happens in parallel and json is marshalled directly. The now-unused fn-ssl-* display helpers are dropped, and fn-certs-set and fn-certs-remove remain for certs:add and certs:remove.
The bash :report implementations for the checks and domains plugins are replaced with a compiled golang binary that collects report keys in parallel and marshals json directly. The domains global report header now matches the shared renderer used by every other golang report, and its bats assertion is updated accordingly.
The bash :report implementations for the caddy, haproxy, openresty, and traefik proxy plugins are replaced with a compiled golang binary that collects report keys in parallel and marshals json directly. The traefik dns-provider values keep their masking behaviour, remaining hidden in the default stdout report while surfacing for --format json or an explicit flag query. These four plugins previously had no unit tests, so a bats suite covering the report matrix is added for each.
The bash :report implementations for the dockerfile, herokuish, lambda, nixpacks, pack, and railpack builders are replaced with a compiled golang binary that collects report keys in parallel and marshals json directly, avoiding the per-key subshell and jq forks that made the bash reports slow. The subcommands/report and root report trigger become symlinks to the compiled binary, while the non-report bash helpers each plugin still relies on are left in place.
Adds a `--format json` flag to `plugin:list` whose output includes each plugin's install source - for git-based third-party plugins, the git remote URL, the checked-out commit, and the followed branch - so the set of installed plugins can be reconstructed elsewhere.
Closes#8798.

### Other
- #8796: @josegonzalez Add --format json support to ps:scale
The `ps:scale` command now accepts a `--format` flag that defaults to `stdout` and can be set to `json` to emit the current formation as a JSON array of process type and quantity objects, matching the JSON output the `:report` subcommands already provide. The flag only applies when displaying the current formation; it is ignored when process types are supplied for scaling. When no scale has been set for the app, the JSON output is an empty array.
The `apps:list` command now accepts a `--format` flag that defaults to `stdout` and can be set to `json` to emit the app names as a JSON array, matching the JSON output the `:report` subcommands already provide. When no apps exist, the JSON output is an empty array.
