When node-red-contrib-uibuilder is installed, the palette manager should show how many plugins and nodes it has. But it doesn't.

Only just spotted by @fmarzocca but a quick test showed that it has been happening for at least several releases. Also happens across different platforms (Windows, Linux and FlowFuse).

This is the relavent section of package.json:

```auto
  "node-red": {
    "version": ">=4",
    "nodes": {
      "uibuilder": "nodes/uibuilder/uibuilder.js",
      "uib-cache": "nodes/uib-cache/uib-cache.js",
      "uib-element": "nodes/uib-element/customNode.js",
      "uib-file-list": "nodes/uib-file-list/customNode.js",
      "uib-html": "nodes/uib-html/customNode.js",
      "uib-save": "nodes/uib-save/customNode.js",
      "uib-sender": "nodes/uib-sender/uib-sender.js",
      "uib-tag": "nodes/uib-tag/customNode.js",
      "uib-update": "nodes/uib-update/customNode.js"
    },
    "plugins": {
      "uib-plugin": "nodes/uib-plugin.html"
    }
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=18"
  },

```

So the palette manager should be showing 9 nodes and 1 plugin. The palette itself is showing all 9 nodes.

Assuming Node-RED latest (4.0.2), could you raise an issue please Julian?
