pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7b4137ccca a plugin's frontend, generated and rebuilt without a restart
the last piece. installing a plugin now brings its UI with it.

a bundler cannot follow import(runtimeString), so which plugins have a frontend
cannot be answered from the database at render time — it has to be written into
source first. Plugins.gen.tsx is that file: concrete imports, generated from
what is installed, gitignored because it describes THIS machine.

App.tsx keeps its core routes and gains one map. the wildcard hands the whole
subtree to the plugin's own router, which react-router nests natively.

serving moved to build/ in production. the html import is bundled once when the
module graph loads and can never change after, which is precisely why a plugin's
frontend needed a restart; Bun.build measures ~900ms for a 25MB bundle, so an
install can just rebuild. development keeps the html import, because that is
what gives HMR and bun --watch restarts on every source change anyway.

verified end to end against a running server, no restart at any point: install
regenerated the module, rebuilt the bundle (chunk hash changed), and the
plugin's own markup was in it; /example and /example/deeper both served; disable
took it back out of both the module and the bundle and 404'd the api; enable put
it back.

three things worth recording because they were found rather than reasoned:

the shell output is named after the ENTRYPOINT — index.gen.html, not index.html
— and naming: { entry: '[name].[ext]' } does not change it because [name] is
'index.gen'. found as a 503 on the first boot after the switch.

App.tsx already destructured a `plugins`, from useServerSettings — the DEAD
plugin system that scans a directory which does not exist and always returns [].
it silently shadowed the import. the new one is `installedPlugins` and says why.

seedAppRegistry takes plugin panels as an argument rather than importing them:
officerdev is a dependency of the shell, so importing upward would invert that.

756 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a00116b2c0 a plugin's permissions become real capabilities, and survive a restart
two gaps between "a plugin can mount routes" and "a plugin is part of the
platform". both closed.

FIRST: nothing registered a plugin's declared permissions, so the capability
gate could not resolve a plugin path at all. it resolved to null, and null is
denied — the owner never noticed because isSuperAdmin short-circuits every
check, which is exactly the shape of bug that reaches a member first.

the registry is now rebuildable the same way the hono app is: CORE_REGISTRY
holds the platform's own, CAPABILITIES is core plus whatever the installed
plugins declare, and setPluginCapabilities replaces the plugin half wholesale
rather than diffing it. two invariants hold by construction — DEFAULT_ROLE_-
CAPABILITIES and CORE_CAPABILITIES derive from CORE_REGISTRY, so a plugin can
never put itself in the fresh-install baseline and can never become `core`
(every account, undeniable). a key colliding with a core one is refused and
logged, because a plugin able to redefine `chat` could widen it.

ownerOnly maps to admin, everything else to app. those are the only kinds a
manifest can express, and it has no field for a kind at all.

capabilities are registered BEFORE routes are mounted: the gate runs ahead of
every router, so mounting a route whose permission is not yet registered would
403 the freshly installed plugin until something else happened to refresh.

SECOND: nothing mounted plugins at boot. honoServer is built with none at
import, because discovery reads disk and database and neither can be awaited at
module scope, and every install verb rebuilt — so it tested perfectly and would
have silently unmounted everything on the first restart.

server.tsx now refreshes before serve(), so there is no window where an
installed plugin 404s, and a plugin that will not load is logged rather than
fatal.

verified: after a restart, [plugins] mounted /example, the row survived,
officer-example came back online from its ecosystem entry, capabilityForApiPath
resolves /api/example/ping to the example capability at kind=app, and it appears
in the owner's grantable list. 756 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2634df7a04 the install runner: ecosystem entry, sidecar, row, mounts
closes the hole app-store/pm2.ts has carried since 2026-08-13 — "installing a
plugin has to append its entry here before starting it, that is the plugin
system's job and it is not built". this is that job, and it is why nothing in
the app-store catalogue installs end to end either.

verified against a running server with a sidecar in the tree:

  install    ecosystem added · sidecar started · recorded · mounted /example
             route 200, pm2 online
  disable    sidecar stopped · unmounted
             route 404, pm2 stopped
  enable     sidecar started · mounted
             route 200, pm2 online
  uninstall  record removed · unmounted · sidecar stopped, deleted, entry gone
             route 404, not in pm2, tables untouched

afterwards ecosystem.config.cjs is byte-identical to before, pm2 holds the same
five core apps, and plugin_installs is back to zero rows.

the ecosystem file is edited rather than regenerated: the core entries come from
officer-setup's shell array, so the platform does not know that list and a copy
here would be a second thing to drift. the header above module.exports is
preserved verbatim too — officer-setup's explains that bun auto-loads .env from
the working directory and that data-path derives the install root from its
PARENT, so a wrong cwd relocates the whole install rather than failing. losing
that to a plugin install would be a poor trade.

order is the design. bringing up goes outside-in, taking down goes inside-out,
so the worst intermediate state is "recorded but not running" — visible, and
fixed by a retry — never "running but forgotten", which nothing can see.

each verb returns what it actually did, in order, and the detail panel shows it.
an install that mounted routes but could not start a sidecar is a different
outcome from one that worked, and a spinner that stops cannot say which.

the schema push is still deliberately not wired, and the reason is now in the
code: db:push DROPS tables absent from the schema it is given, so an uninstall
that regenerated the barrel would delete a plugin's data as a side effect of
stopping it. offscale does not need it — headscale_servers already ships in the
platform schema.

720 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 282a64a637 plugins install, enable, disable and uninstall at runtime
the rest of the mechanism, and it works end to end. against a real server, with
no restart at any point:

  /api/example/ping BEFORE install   404
  AFTER install                      200  {"plugin":"example","ok":true}
  AFTER disable                      404
  AFTER enable                       200
  AFTER uninstall                    404
  core route throughout              200

plugin_installs is a new table rather than a reuse of sidecar_installs. that one
belongs to the app store's model, where installing means provisioning a
container or pointing at a remote instance, and it carries mode, compose_dir and
completed_steps to say so. a plugin install has none of those, and reusing it
would have meant a `mode` that lies about every plugin. the two models coexist
until the app store is rebuilt on this one.

the row is needed because presence is not installation: plugins live in the
repository, so a developer writing one has the directory there and has installed
nothing. the tree says what could run, the table says what does.

mount.ts joins the two and rebuilds. an install row whose directory has gone is
dropped from the snapshot rather than reported — but the row is left in the
database, because deleting it there would turn "somebody moved the checkout"
into silent data loss. a plugin whose router will not load stays unmounted and
says why, rather than taking the other nine down with it.

/api/plugins is owner-only in its own right, like /api/app-store, and its
capability guards the MANAGEMENT surface only — a plugin's own permissions come
from its manifest, so a member can hold one at read without being able to
install anything.

plugins/example is the reference implementation and is meant to be read: the
smallest thing that is still a real plugin, with the directory layout as its own
documentation.

not wired yet, and marked [open] in the router: the schema push and the
sidecar's pm2 entry. a plugin with db/schema.ts or sidecar/ needs both before it
works end to end.

full suite: 719 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.
