Tiddlywiki --init removing plugins from the edition

Previous related thread:

I found there was an easy way to make an edition available for tiddlywiki --init, but I have now discovered that the init process seems to remove all core plugins specified in the edition’s tiddlywiki.info. Is this intentional, and if so, is there a way to override this behavior? I can go in and manually copy the plugins from json to json, but this seems like a dumb thing to have to do.

Here is what I know, if you use the includeWikis feature that will get stripped out. If you specify plugins using the plugins attribute that should work, as it does the for server edition:

github.com

Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/server/tiddlywiki.info

{
	"description": "Basic client-server edition",
	"plugins": [
		"tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
		"tiddlywiki/filesystem",
		"tiddlywiki/highlight"
	],
	"themes": [
		"tiddlywiki/vanilla",
		"tiddlywiki/snowwhite"
	],
	"build": {
		"index": [
			"--rendertiddler","$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb/save/offline","index.html","text/plain"],
		"static": [
			"--rendertiddler","$:/core/templates/static.template.html","static.html","text/plain",
			"--rendertiddler","$:/core/templates/alltiddlers.template.html","alltiddlers.html","text/plain",
			"--rendertiddlers","[!is[system]]","$:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html","static","text/plain",
			"--rendertiddler","$:/core/templates/static.template.css","static/static.css","text/plain"]
	}

Thanks. That wasn’t matching what I was seeing, but when I took a closer look it was just me being dense…I was overwriting the entire plugins list with a new one in my init script.
