Description
This changeset backports connector improvements from Gutenberg to Core:
- Extend connector plugin metadata to support optional
plugin.is_activecallback. - Validate
plugin.is_activeas callable duringWP_Connector_Registry::register(). - Use
plugin.is_activecallback when building connector script-module data, with fallback to file_exists + is_plugin_active. - Update default Akismet connector to use a robust activity check:
defined( AKISMET_VERSION ) && class_exists( Akismet, false ).
Some plugins (especially MU-loaded or non-standard load paths) cannot be reliably detected via is_plugin_active(file) alone. Allowing an explicit activity callback provides accurate activation state in connectors UI.

- Keywords has-patch added
Backport of wordpress/gutenberg#76994. Adds an optional is_active callable to the plugin definition when
registering a connector via WP_Connector_Registry::register().
The Connectors screen previously resolved a connector's active/installed status by checking is_plugin_active() and file_exists() against WP_PLUGIN_DIR only. Plugins installed as must-use plugins — or loaded from non-standard paths could not be detected this way, causing theirconnectors to disappear from the screen even though the plugin was in use.
