Every plugin import now counts as a host call (reply_len, reply_read and set_output were free), and bytes copied out of or into the plugin's memory spend fuel, reserved before the copy or allocation, including when call overhead is set to zero. Fixes#192.
The log byte budget test from #216 runs with the default fuel, since copying a megabyte of log bytes is itself charged now.
Plugin log lines are admitted before guest memory is copied: a line over 8 KiB, more than 1,000 lines or more than 1 MiB of log bytes in a run fails the run with a limit error, and the same budgets bound what is forwarded to the host logger. Fixes#191.
A self-hosted plugin directory, with no third-party service: `figcraft-server` keeps plugin bundles,
the app browses, installs and updates from it, and `figcraft-cli` publishes to it.
- **Bundles** (`figcraft_plugin::bundle`): a plugin's manifest, module and up to 32 plain-named
assets in one uncompressed, length-prefixed binary form (nothing can expand beyond the bytes
sent). Its SHA-256 names it. `Bundle::decode` never allocates beyond its input and refuses
trailing bytes; `Bundle::check` parses the manifest (refusing a plugin API this build doesn't
run), requires a version of 1-4 numbers, compiles the module without running it (only the
sandbox's imports allowed) and checks asset names (no paths, no dot files, no Windows device
names, unique ignoring case). Manifests gain an optional `author`.
- **Protocol**: a new connection kind next to managing and team-library connections:
`OpenPlugins {key}` then `Plugins {list | fetch | publish | unpublish}`. Browsing needs no
credential; publishing and unpublishing need the server key (a wrong key is refused). Older
servers refuse the connection and the app says the server has no plugin directory. The protocol
version is unchanged; old clients are unaffected.
- **Server** (`apps/figcraft-server/src/directory.rs`): `<data>/plugins/index.json` plus
`<data>/plugins/<sha256>.bin`, so no publisher-chosen name reaches the file system. Every publish
is checked in full and must be a newer version; caps `max_plugins` (versions, 0 turns it off),
`max_plugin_mb` (<= 32), `max_plugins_mb`. Fetches re-hash the file before sending (a damaged
bundle is never sent) and share a download budget (~32 MiB/s) so a flood is refused, not queued.
Damaged index entries are skipped and reported, never deleted; an unreadable index lists nothing
and refuses writes until the operator fixes it. Operator moderation:
`figcraft-server plugins [list]` and `plugins remove ID [--version V]` (offline or through the
running server). Logs name ids and versions, never keys.
- **App**: Plugins > Manage plugins gets Installed / Browse tabs. Browse lists a server's plugins
(version, author as typed, size, access) with a search; nothing is fetched until Browse is
pressed. Install / Update open a confirmation listing the permissions asked for, the source and
the SHA-256; only its button downloads. The download must match the listed SHA-256 (and the one
shown), then is checked like an imported plugin before anything is written. Installed plugins
live per user under `<settings>/FigCraft/Plugins/<hash of id>/` and run in the same sandbox;
Remove deletes the folder.
- **Commands**: `plugin.directory.list {server?, query?}`, `plugin.directory.install {id, version?,
confirm, server?, sha256?}` (refused without `confirm: true`; never opens a dialog),
`plugin.directory.publish {path | plugin, server}`, `plugin.directory.unpublish {id, version?,
server}`. `ui.set {pluginsTab, pluginConfirm}` on the control channel.
- **CLI**: `figcraft-cli plugin publish FOLDER --server ws://host:port/` with the key from
`FIGCRAFT_SERVER_KEY` (or `?key=`), never printed.
- Docs: plugins.md (directories, publishing, commands, manifest), server.md (operating the
directory: access, checks, caps, moderation, backups, security), collab-protocol.md, mcp.md,
cli.md, control-protocol.md, target-app-parity area 18 and Ecosystem, ROADMAP, roadmap.md M11,
gaps.md gap 6. Plugins & widgets 55%/32% -> 60%/35%, 10-30 h -> 8-26 h.
Widgets for FigCraft's own WebAssembly plugins (plugin API 3; API 1 and 2 plugins run unchanged), plus the panel tail.
- **Widgets.** A manifest with `"api": 3, "widget": true` makes a widget plugin. Plugins > Widgets (or `widget.insert {plugin, x?, y?}`) puts its widget on the page: the plugin is called with `widget: {id, state, event}` and hands back a description through the new `widget_render` import (`{state?, root}`: frames with auto layout, text, rectangles, ellipses and images it carries as base64). FigCraft validates the description (4 MB, 256 layers, 16 deep, finite numbers within ranges, hex colours, text length and control characters, a 16 KB state, images 1 MB each / 2 MB together / 4096 px a side) and builds it as a frame whose layers are locked, so the widget moves as one layer.
- **Clicks.** A plain click with the Move tool on a part the plugin named as a `target` (the cursor turns into a pointing hand there; quick repeated clicks each count) calls the plugin back in a fresh, metered sandbox (same fuel, memory and call limits as runs; nothing kept between calls, so the state and the click alone decide the result) as one undo step, and the widget is redrawn. Dragging moves it; Shift/Cmd/Alt clicks only select. Agents use `widget.click {id, target}` and `widget.list`.
- **State in the document.** The plugin id and the state live in the widget's own layer data (`figcraft.widget*`), so widgets survive save and reload, duplicate/copy and paste (the copy is a widget of its own), undo/redo, export (the built layers draw) and live sessions (synced like any layer data). No plugin can write `figcraft.widget*` data or call `widget.*`; a callback can only rebuild its own widget, and touches other layers only through the commands its manifest permits. A widget whose plugin is missing stays as drawn.
- **Example.** `plugins/examples/counter`: a counter between - and + buttons (read access, no assets). The SDK gained `Input::widget` and `render_widget`.
- **Panel tail.** Panels of several plugins are open at once, side by side (`plugin.ui` without an id returns the one opened last); a colour field's swatch opens FigCraft's colour picker beside the plugin's window (the plugin hears of the colour when a drag ends; also for parameters forms). Swatch grid's palette panel gained a label colour field.
- Docs: plugins.md (ABI v3, widget description, commands, limits), mcp.md, target-app-parity area 18, ROADMAP, gaps gap 6, roadmap M11; Spanish labels for the new commands.
Plugin ABI v2: a plugin can show a panel (text, number, checkbox, select, colour, list, notes, buttons) rendered with FigCraft's widgets, react to events with its state kept between calls (each editing callback one undo step, full sandbox limits on every call), and store per-plugin settings (64 KB). plugin.ui / plugin.event / plugin.close drive panels from the CLI and MCP; v1 plugins run unchanged. The Swatch grid example gains a Palettes panel that remembers the last palette.
Sandboxed WebAssembly plugins whose API is the command registry:
- figcraft-plugin (new crate, L2): the figcraft-plugin.json manifest
(menu commands with parameters, read/write access, command allowlist)
and the sandbox: wasmi (pure Rust, no JIT, also in the web build) with
fuel metering, a memory cap, no WASI and seven host functions (call,
selection, reply_len, reply_read, log, notify, set_output).
- Engine: plugin.list / plugin.import / plugin.remove / plugin.run,
plugins.runLast (Alt+Cmd+P; Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and
plugins.manage. A run is one undo step (Session::grouped, which
command.batch now uses too) and is rolled back when it fails. Files,
other documents, the undo history, dialogs and plugins are off limits;
read-only plugins can't change the document. Installed plugins live in
the preferences; development plugins re-read their module every run.
- UI: installed plugins in the Plugins menu, a parameters form drawn
from the manifest, Manage plugins, Plugins > Development > Import
plugin from manifest.
- plugins/: a no_std Rust SDK and two example plugins (Tidy names,
Swatch grid), built for wasm32 by `cargo xtask plugins` (part of
`cargo xtask wasm`).
- Docs: docs/plugins.md (manifest, permissions, limits, ABI, SDK),
docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, README, ROADMAP, parity.
