Review Comment:
   BuiltInResponseWriterRegistry is a pure static utility/registry but it has a 
public implicit constructor. Add a private constructor to prevent accidental 
instantiation.
   ```suggestion
   
     private BuiltInResponseWriterRegistry() {
       // Prevent instantiation
     }
   ```

Review Comment:
   HttpSolrCall.logAndFlushAdminRequest() still checks `if (respWriter == 
null)` after calling BuiltInResponseWriterRegistry.getWriter(). That method 
currently never returns null (it always falls back to "standard"), so this 
branch is dead code and can be removed (or change getWriter() contract if null 
is actually expected).

Review Comment:
   SolrCore.initWriters() instantiates implicit response writers via 
createInstance(...) but does not run plugin initialization (init args / 
PluginInfoInitialized / NamedListInitializedPlugin) like other Solr plugins do 
(see SolrCore.createInitInstance / SolrCore.initPlugin). This can break 
response writers that expect initialization from PluginInfo. After 
instantiating, call SolrCore.initPlugin(info, writer) (or use 
createInitInstance with a PluginInfo) before registering it.
   ```suggestion
                   getResourceLoader());
           initPlugin(info, writer);
   ```

+title: Introduce minimal ADMIN_RESPONSE_WRITERS for admin/container-level 
requests. Admin requests now use a minimal set of 6 response writers (javabin, 
json, xml, prometheus, openmetrics, standard) instead of the full 14-writer 
DEFAULT_RESPONSE_WRITERS map. Core-specific requests continue to use 
ImplicitPlugins.json with ConfigOverlay support.
+type: changed

+  - name: GitHub Discussion
+    url: https://github.com/apache/solr/discussions
+notes: |
+  Admin/container-level requests (e.g., /admin/cores, /admin/collections) have 
no associated SolrCore
+  and cannot use the core's response writer registry loaded from 
ImplicitPlugins.json. Previously,
+  these requests used DEFAULT_RESPONSE_WRITERS (14 entries). Now they use 
ADMIN_RESPONSE_WRITERS (6 entries)
+  containing only the formats actually needed by admin APIs:
+  - javabin (SolrJ clients)
+  - json (Admin UI)
+  - xml (backward compatibility)
+  - prometheus/openmetrics (metrics endpoint)
+  - standard (alias for json)
+  
+  This provides clearer separation of concerns and better documentation of 
requirements. Core-specific
+  requests are unaffected and continue to use the full ImplicitPlugins.json 
system with ConfigOverlay support.
+  DEFAULT_RESPONSE_WRITERS remains available but is now deprecated for 
internal use.

Review Comment:
   The changelog entry refers to an "ADMIN_RESPONSE_WRITERS" name and says 
"DEFAULT_RESPONSE_WRITERS remains available". In this PR, 
DEFAULT_RESPONSE_WRITERS is removed from SolrCore and replaced by 
BuiltInResponseWriterRegistry (and a deprecated SolrCore.getAdminResponseWriter 
method). Please update this changelog text to match the actual public/internal 
API surface introduced by the PR so release notes aren’t misleading.

Review Comment:
   SolrCore.initWriters() passes `core=null` into createInstance(...) when 
loading core-level response writers. If any QueryResponseWriter has a SolrCore 
constructor (or otherwise expects a non-null core), this will either 
instantiate with a null core or skip the core-aware constructor path. Use 
`this` (the current SolrCore) instead of null when creating core-specific 
writers.
   ```suggestion
                   this,
   ```

Review Comment:
   SolrCore.initWriters() swallows exceptions when loading implicit response 
writers (logs warn and continues). If the "standard" writer (or any required 
default) fails to load, responseWriters may end up with no default 
(PluginBag#setDefault is a no-op when the name is missing), violating the 
“Never null” contract of getQueryResponseWriter(..) and potentially causing 
NPEs later. Consider failing fast when required writers can’t be loaded, or 
explicitly ensure a default writer is present (e.g., fall back to a built-in 
JSON writer) before continuing startup.
