The Scanner struct was copying plugins.Config by value, but the parser's Load closure captured a pointer to the original Config. EnsureParser set the plugin path on the copy while Load read from the original, resulting in "exec: no command" from go-plugin.

Description
Fixes a bug where the parser plugin fails with
exec: no commandfrom hashicorp/go-plugin.The
Scannerstruct was copyingplugins.Configby value. The parser'sLoadclosure (set duringProcess()) captured a pointer to the originalparser.Config. WhenEnsureParser()ran on the scanner's copy, it setPluginon the copy, butLoadstill read from the original wherePluginwas still empty — resulting inexec.Command("").The fix stores a
*plugins.Configpointer inScannerso thatEnsureParserandLoadoperate on the same instance.
