Prevent geodatasbe edits if Pro addin not installed

Question

I'm looking for a way to prevent edits to a geodatabase if an addin is not present in ArcGIS Pro. The extension listens to row change events on certain feature classes, and I would like to prevent edits if these row events are not triggered.

In ArcObjects and ArcMap I was able to achieve this by using class extensions. Once an extension was registered with a feature class at the geodatabase level, the ArcMap client knew not to allow edit sessions if the class extension was not installed on that workstation.

Is there a way to achieve a similar result using the Pro SDK?

Unfortunately, the business logic I have to implement is too complex for attribute rules. I am considering SOIs but the preferred workflow is direct database editing.

Unfortunately, in this case, the module would have to already be present on the workstation. I'm trying to prevent editing from a machine where the module isn't present. For example, if an editor moved cube, and started using ArcGIS Pro from a workstation that doesn't have the module installed.

in Pro we only have addins - to include what u wld hv previously used an extension for. Addins can load early by setting the <insertModule .... autoLoad="true" ...>. It will be there when a map or layers are loaded to do the necessary.

Thanks for the suggestion, Charles, but I don't think that will work. To access that part of the SDK, the addin would already have to be loaded.

I'm looking for a way for the map or layers to check if the addin is loaded when they are added to the map.
