No, there is nothing in the terminal when I execute `kate`

terminal output

you have to run kate in blocking mode for that, do the following:

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
export LD_DEBUG=libs
kate -b &> output.txt

This will create a file output.txt, share that file.

That looks like a big packaging fault.

lspclientplugin.so contains the "Keyboard Macros" if I don't misread that...

Please report that to Kubuntu. The packaged the macros plugin as lsp plugin.

lsp client plugin available in Kubuntu 24.04.1

Testing a freshly installed and updated copy of 24.04.1, the lsp client plugin is available in the settings > plugins menu. See attached screenshot.

No. The lsp plugin has not been removed/renamed/replaced or otherwise manipulated in packaging.

Then something is horrible broken on the machine of that user if that file has the wrong content.

My system was freshly installed and it is possible that one of the updates caused the issue. Nevertheless, executing the following problem fixed the issue:
sudo apt install --reinstall kate
