* fix(cli): resolve local plugin directories from the caller's cwd
Relative plugin sources were sent unchanged, so a daemon started elsewhere inspected the wrong directory. Resolve directory sources and expand the caller's home before sending, preserving subdirectory suffixes and managed source identifiers.
* fix(cli): preserve absolute plugin paths across host platforms
A remote daemon may use another operating system. Recognize absolute POSIX and Windows directory sources before resolving relative paths on the CLI host.
* feat(plugins): enable registry installs by default
* fix(plugins): explain explicit Git source for missing registry IDs
* fix(plugins): tailor missing registry guidance to installation
* test(app): sample footer geometry in one browser frame
* fix(plugins): make registry source resolution deterministic
Directory existence must not change the meaning of a registry identifier shared by CLI, RPC, and UI installs. Classify explicit host paths in the source parser and explain recovery from registry transport and revision-selection failures.
* fix(plugins): recognize dot and Windows directory sources
* test(cli): wait for readable daemon ownership before cancellation
The cancellation test raced PID-file creation against its first write and parsed empty JSON in CI. Use the public daemon-instance reader to wait for and capture the supervisor PID before asserting cancellation cleanup.
* test(app): expect missing directory install guidance
* website: plugin page design mockups (four directions, throwaway routes)
* website: final plugin page mockup (A directory, B browse frame, list cards, D detail)
* website: browse pages use a four-column card grid in the final plugin mockup
* feat(plugins): keep registry installs behind a daemon flag, off by default
Off restores the pre-registry behavior: bare owner/repo is GitHub shorthand and the
daemon never resolves or contacts a registry on install, update preview, or update.
Enable with pluginRegistryEnabled: true or PASEO_PLUGIN_REGISTRY_ENABLED=1.
* feat(website): ship the plugin directory, browse pages, and single-column detail
Directory: count, build/submit links, What's new, the nine categories, and Most installed
with a This week / This month / All time switch. Browse pages at /plugins/all and
/plugins/category/<slug> with a category sidebar, tabs, and a four-column grid; old
/plugins?category= links redirect. Install counts gain daily KV buckets kept 60 days.
* fix(website): keep a README's leading GitHub alert on the plugin page
* feat(website): search plugins from the directory and browse pages
Typing replaces the URL with /plugins/all?q=<term> (or the current category
with ?q=), which renders matching plugins on the server. Matching covers
name, description, ID, and author. Old /plugins?q= links redirect.
* fix(website): keep the directory's ranking window when searching
* feat(plugins): install reviewed artifacts from open registries
* fix(website): build protocol before deployment checks
* fix(website): make plugin pages discoverable to search engines
Resolve missing registry entries in route loaders to return HTTP 404. Serve a registry-backed sitemap so newly listed plugins and authors are discoverable without rebuilding the website.
* feat(website): keep plugin directory unlinked for coordinated launch
Preserve direct routes and SEO while retaining the partner directory link. Cover nested Git artifacts through registry installation and pinned website commands.
* fix(website): link plugin cards by registry owner and stub the clipboard in e2e
Plugin and author URLs come from the owner segment of the plugin ID, not the author's GitHub login, so a listed plugin always resolves. The Playwright spec records clipboard writes instead of granting a permission WebKit does not have.
* feat(plugins): unify source installation and simplify plugin settings
* feat(plugins): install npm sources and review CLI updates
Treat install selectors as one-time choices. Keep source identity separate from the installed revision, and resolve ordinary updates from the current upstream default. npm only acquires directories; plugin loading remains independent of npm.
* fix(plugins): preserve CLI diagnostics and exercise reviewed updates
Move new source capability coverage to real browser journeys. Update the requirements regression to exercise preview and apply, and preserve the existing duplicate-selector diagnostic across positional option scopes.
* test(plugins): remove unused pending helper
* test(plugins): pack registry fixtures with the Windows command runner
* test(plugins): assert failed client contribution setup
* docs(plugins): consolidate guides and document npm publishing
* docs(plugins): introduce publishing choices before npm instructions
* test(plugins): own browser journey cleanup in a fixture
* feat(plugins): prepare scaffolded packages for publishing
* fix(daemon): keep lifecycle operations on the selected instance
Restart reconstructed launch inputs and address fallback could redirect a home-selected shutdown to another daemon. Let supervisors publish bound endpoints, retain their worker restart contract, and share captured local lifecycle ownership between CLI and Desktop.
* test(daemon): verify bounded desktop readiness and cancellable artifacts
* test(cli): verify reload target hints and durable offline pairing
* test(daemon): align lifecycle fixtures with ownership and targeting
* fix(daemon): preserve reachability when status details time out
Provider discovery can outlast a status request after authentication succeeds. Keep local connection facts separate from unavailable details, while explicit remote queries retain their error outcome.
Migrate CLI and packaged Desktop fixtures to persistent managed configuration and explicit targets. Isolate generic Git observation from forge discovery and reuse disposable CLI homes on Windows.
* test(daemon): observe restart through the worker status RPC
The bounded CLI status observation may omit worker details while an authenticated connection remains healthy. Exercise the app-style restart through its full RPC and retain the replacement observation, with a real slow provider probe covering the distinction.
* feat(plugins): support prepared Git installations
Let Git plugins declare explicit preparation commands without making package installation the default. Keep installation transactional, make plugin trust explicit, and use one canonical source reference for monorepos.
* fix(plugins): parse Windows source references
Make every trusted Git repository directly distributable without introducing a registry or package manager. Managed checkouts retain their resolved commit, track branches explicitly, and stage validation before activation so failed updates restore the running version.
* feat(plugins): expose Paseo API to local plugins
Plugin surfaces borrow the selected host connection while subprocess handlers receive an exclusively owned IPC session, so plugins can use normal workspace and agent operations without inventing another transport.
* feat(plugins): reload global enablement safely
Treat the global plugin switch as a live daemon setting and teach plugin automation to inspect it before acting. Enabling remains permission-gated because plugin backend code can access the daemon machine and client contributions execute inside the app.
* feat(plugins): expose plugin logs
Capture plugin stdout and stderr separately from IPC so authors can debug initialization, RPC, cleanup, and crash behavior from the app or CLI. Keep a bounded tail across lifecycle recovery while preserving structured output in the daemon log.
* fix(build): order plugin dependency builds
* test(plugins): align startup and CLI expectations
* feat(plugins): add local plugin surfaces and RPCs
Keep plugin execution scoped to its daemon while allowing one local TypeScript entry point to contribute validated RPCs and native client surfaces. Paseo owns host selection, navigation chrome, and per-installation query caches.
* feat(plugins): add Linear attachment source
* fix(nix): refresh npm dependency hash
* test(server): exclude internal sessions from Hub counts
* test(server): distinguish Hub execution sessions
* feat(plugins): make local plugins explicitly opt-in
Keep plugin loading dormant until configuration enables it, and collect unsupported examples under one directory.
* refactor(plugins): establish host boundaries
* fix(nix): refresh plugin dependency hash
* fix(plugins): complete packaging and startup rollback
* feat(plugins): add managed local lifecycle
Make trusted local plugins recoverable and authorable through daemon-owned lifecycle operations, host settings, and a capability-gated CLI. Reloads fully stop the previous plugin before starting new code, while generated projects provide strict TSX checking without changing runtime dependency ownership.
* fix(nix): refresh plugin dependency hash
