Plugin code that protects small critical sections with TSMutex has to pair every early return with a matching unlock. That pattern is easy to get wrong and makes the intended lock lifetime harder to see. This adds a small TSMutexLockGuard helper to the plugin API and uses it in plugin code where the mutex naturally stays locked until a return path.
