* feat(plugins): surface plugin capability consent in Control UI and CLI
Adds plugins.inspect (declared manifest surface, operator grants, install
provenance/integrity, ClawHub trust), a Control UI consent dialog on install
and external-plugin enable, a server-side acceptance gate persisted on the
install record, artifact-anchored widen diffing, and --accept-capabilities
for non-interactive CLI use.
NOT READY TO LAND: autoreview found critical gaps (see PR notes) — the
declared surface omits 20 of 21 contract families, native plugins always
report zero hooks, several install/enable paths bypass the gate, and the
acknowledgment is not bound to the reviewed surface.
* refactor(plugins): bind capability consent to the reviewed surface
Collapses the consent error payload to the fields the client cannot fetch
(reviewToken, widened, acceptedAt) and pulls identity/declared/grants/source/
trust from plugins.inspect, shrinking the registry-free protocol reader from
395 to 91 lines and removing its divergence from the closed schema.
Acknowledgment now carries the SHA-256 reviewToken of the surface the operator
saw; the server recomputes the final staged artifact's surface and rejects any
mismatch before persisting acceptance. That closes review-then-swap, laundering
of forged acceptance through an unchanged update, and cross-artifact replay.
All 22 manifest contract families are now declared, hashed and diffed, so a
privileged family such as gatewayMethodDispatch can no longer be added without
re-consent. Consent reads the manifest runtime discovery will execute, ambiguous
install ownership fails closed, integrity resolution has one owner and no longer
labels npm SHA-1 shasums as SHA-256, and code plugins disclose that hooks
register at runtime instead of rendering an empty "no hooks" row.
* fix(gateway): register plugins.inspect in method inventories and regenerate protocol
Adds plugins.inspect to the advertised-method inventories (widening the
fixed-size slice windows so older indices stay stable), regenerates the Kotlin
protocol bindings, drops an unused exported type, and replaces two nested
conditional spreads with a plain conditional.
* refactor(plugins): split oversized consent modules and clear lint findings
Extracts the MCP controller out of the plugins page, unchanged-install
reconciliation out of update-installed, and the install lifecycle suite out of
the management-service tests, bringing all three back under the max-lines limit
without suppressions. Also renames a shadowed binding, drops an unnecessary
generic, removes a spread-to-modify in a map, and types catch callbacks as
unknown.
* chore(protocol): regenerate Kotlin bindings after rebase
* feat(plugins): let chat /plugins install review and accept capabilities
The consent gate applies to chat installs too, but the command had no way to
give consent, so external installs dead-ended on a CLI-only flag. Chat now
replies with the plugin's declared capability surface and the exact command to
rerun, and accepts a trailing --accept-capabilities mirroring the existing
--force acknowledgement. ClawHub trust acknowledgement stays CLI-only.
Staged-artifact verification is unchanged: the reviewToken is still checked
against the final artifact before acceptance is recorded.
* refactor(plugins): single-source the declared-surface groups and manifest precedence
The ordered capability group list was defined independently in the consent
engine, the protocol error reader, the CLI formatter and the Control UI, so a
new contract family had to be added in four places with nothing enforcing it.
All four now derive from one canonical list in the protocol schema with a
compile-time exhaustiveness guard.
Native-versus-bundle manifest precedence is centralized in one helper that both
discovery and staged consent call, so the two cannot drift again — that
divergence was a real bug where consent read one manifest and the runtime
executed another.
Also documents that carrying acceptance forward requires pinned artifact
integrity, so integrity-less sources such as local paths ask on every install.
* fix(plugins): enforce reviewed consent across activation flows
Route setup, repair, linked installs, updates, and chat activation through artifact-bound capability consent. Reuse canonical package discovery and recheck staged activation before config publication. Invalidate stale Control UI review requests on reconnect.
Verified focused owner and sibling tests, runtime rebuild, and real isolated CLI/Gateway install, inspect, enable, widening, and stale-token rejection flows.
* test(plugins): cover beta installs through capability consent
* test(plugins): align consent fixtures with staged artifacts
* fix(ui): review staged plugin capabilities once
* test(ui): inline the remaining plugin consent confirmation
* test(plugins): verify consent with deferred install transactions
* refactor(setup): share inference execution plan construction
* test(ui): settle applied config before deferring refresh
* fix(plugins): protect consent provenance and reuse acceptance
* fix(plugins): own packed entry lifecycles by package
Persist package ownership per runtime child, route lifecycle actions through one closed resolver, reconcile removed child policy during updates, and retain rollback generations until durable config/index commit.
* fix(plugins): break uninstall policy import cycle
* test(plugins): model package ownership in lifecycle fixtures
* feat(ui): add plugin catalog management
* feat(gateway): add plugins.uninstall and richer plugin catalog metadata
Adds a plugins.uninstall gateway method (operator.admin, control-plane write)
backed by a lock-guarded uninstallManagedPlugin that mirrors the CLI flow:
config cleanup, install-record removal, managed file deletion, and registry
refresh. Bundled plugins stay disable-only. Catalog entries now carry a
manifest-derived category and a removable flag; ClawHub search results expose
download counts and verification tiers.
* feat(ui): redesign plugins page with inventory, store shelves, and cover art
Rebuilds /settings/plugins around three tabs: Installed (category-grouped
inventory with overview stats, state filters, uninstall for external plugins,
and inline MCP server management through the shared config seam), Discover
(featured/official shelves plus one-click MCP connectors and curated ClawHub
searches), and ClawHub (search with download counts and verification badges).
Every catalog entry renders bundled cover art or a deterministic gradient
monogram tile - no more empty boxes. Artwork generated with Codex CLI, shipped
as 512px WebP under ui/public/plugin-art.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for plugins manager strings
* docs: describe plugins manager tabs, uninstall, and MCP connectors
* fix(plugins): human catalog labels and un-pinned hosted fallback ids
listManagedPlugins now prefers manifest names over registry package-name
backfill, falls back to channel catalog labels and blurbs, and stops pinning
expectedPluginId when a hosted feed entry only exposes its package name
(which rejected every legitimate install of that package). Found via live
gateway testing against ClawHub.
* fix(ui): send minimal RFC 7396 merge patches for MCP server edits
config.patch merges rather than replaces, so key removal needs an explicit
null; sending the full config back made MCP server removal a no-op. Found
via live gateway testing.
* fix(ui): write explicit MCP transports for URL servers
The MCP runtime defaults URL-only servers to SSE, so streamable HTTP
endpoints saved by the add form or connector templates would fail at
connect time. Connector templates now declare their transport and the
add form infers streamable-http unless the URL follows the /sse
convention. Flagged by autoreview against the transport resolver.
* test(ui): wait for deferred plugin requests before resolving in e2e
* feat(ui): plugins detail view, action menus, and unified ClawHub search
Reworks the plugins page from PR #103176 feedback: merges the ClawHub tab into
Discover (typing searches ClawHub inline and appends a quiet From ClawHub
section, with Browse ClawHub demoted to a header text link), makes every row and
store card open a plugin detail overlay (hero art, primary enable/install
action, metadata table), and replaces enable/disable switches with a state chip
plus an overflow menu (Enable/Disable, Remove for external plugins, View
details) matching the ChatGPT-store install+menu pattern. MCP rows use the same
menu; refresh is now icon-only.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for plugins UI iteration
* feat(ui): vetted, grouped connector catalog for the plugins store
Expands Connect your world to 28 connectors organized into use-case shelves
(Work & productivity, Coding & infrastructure, Home & media, Everyday life).
Every entry passed a three-stage subagent review: official-docs verification
plus live endpoint probes for MCP servers, ClawHub result-quality and
malware/typosquat screening for curated searches, and an adversarial pass
that dynamically registered OAuth clients to prove one-click viability.
That review removed Figma (registration allowlisted, 403) and Atlassian
(OAuth issuer-mismatch bug upstream), downgraded GitHub to PAT-based setup
(no dynamic client registration upstream), fixed Linear (/sse retired) and
Home Assistant (/api/mcp, streamable HTTP) endpoints, retargeted poisoned or
dead searches (youtube, finance, hue dropped; calendar -> google calendar;
stocks replaces finance), and added Todoist, Airtable, Canva, Stripe,
Context7, DeepWiki, Hugging Face one-click MCP servers plus Jira, PDF,
transcription, Kubernetes, Reddit, maps, translation, and notes searches.
Keyless servers get a ready-to-use success message; new cover art included.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for connector groups
* fix(plugins): suppress hosted catalog rows once their package is installed
Hosted feed entries without a declared runtime id fall back to their package
name as catalog id, which never matches the installed runtime id, so the
Discover shelf kept offering an already-installed package. Installed package
names now also suppress official rows. Flagged by autoreview.
* fix(plugins): pin declared runtime ids and surface connector errors in place
The runtime-id pin now keys off explicitly declared catalog ids (plugin,
channel, or provider) instead of string-comparing against the package name,
so declared ids that equal their package name stay enforced while entry-id
fallbacks stay unpinned. Connector add failures on Discover now render on the
triggering card instead of the Installed tab's MCP section. Both flagged by
autoreview; regression tests included.
* feat(ui): full inventory artwork, pulse header, and two-column plugin list
Every bundled plugin now ships distinctive cover art (113 new Codex CLI
illustrations; 172 total, ~2.1MB WebP), so inventory rows and detail views
never fall back to monogram tiles. The four stat cards give way to a compact
inventory pulse: a segmented enabled/disabled/issues meter whose legend and
counts live inside the filter chips. Inventory, MCP, and search rows flow
into two columns when the panel is wide enough.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for pulse header
* fix(ui): omit stdio args from the MCP server row target
Stdio MCP args routinely carry tokens, and the inventory is visible to
read-only operators; mirror the config page and show only the command.
Flagged by autoreview; regression test included.
* fix(merge): point crestodian setup at relocated plugin commit/refresh modules
* fix(merge): add bootstrapToken to plugins page test gateway harness
* fix(plugins): name catalog install-action branches so Swift emits the union
* fix(ui): satisfy strict lint on plugins page form parsing and mocks
* chore(build): regen docs map, raise plugin-sdk declaration budget for new protocol surface
* fix(ui): type the plugins page patch mock with its real call signature
