## Title

    [Dify] "Request to Plugin Daemon Service failed" / "Failed to request plugin daemon, url: ..." - api cannot reach plugin_daemon or key mismatch

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The api service calls the daemon inner API at PLUGIN_DAEMON_URL with the shared key; transport failures map to these errors.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Key-mismatch and DB causes inferred from configuration; not an explicit doc statement.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Failed to request plugin daemon, url: 
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langgenius/dify/725611b2e9a425519e9fcb4dcc579bafea936d27/docker/.env.example (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Plugin daemon env: PLUGIN_DAEMON_URL, PLUGIN_DAEMON_KEY, PLUGIN_DIFY_INNER_API_KEY, DB_PLUGIN_DATABASE.
    
    Search phrasings: Dify Request to Plugin Daemon Service failed; dify Failed to request plugin daemon; dify plugin_daemon key mismatch
