Mohamed Boudra 047f40e623 Install npm plugins and review source updates (#4975)
* 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

Lifecycle actions

Small callbacks using the existing SDK:

  • Send Try again. when the latest output contains out of credits.
  • Decline a shell request matching rm -rf; approve exactly git status; leave other requests alone.
  • Inject PASEO_HOOK_CREATE_EXAMPLE=created on creation and PASEO_HOOK_OPEN_EXAMPLE=opened on each session opening.
  • Change requested Codex agents to Claude Haiku before creation.
  • Create a worktree when a directory creation request is titled Isolated lifecycle example.

This is a demonstration plugin: installing it enables all these behaviors on its host. Install it alongside lifecycle-logger on a test daemon with plugins enabled:

paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/plugin-examples/lifecycle-actions
paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/plugin-examples/lifecycle-logger
paseo plugin logs lifecycle-logger

Outside the Paseo repository, server/inspect.ts needs @getpaseo/protocol installed for its type imports. Add it to your plugin development dependencies at the same version as @getpaseo/plugin before installing this example.

Copy the callbacks you need into your own plugin. The follow-up example sends a new message; it does not replay attachments or undo previous tool effects. If the provider keeps returning the matching phrase, it keeps sending follow-ups. Add limits or delay in your plugin when your workflow needs them. The command regex illustrates a policy; it does not parse shell syntax or cover every deletion command.

server/inspect.ts joins provider text chunks and excludes earlier turns and the current user prompt from the phrase match. The failing-first regression test records the split text observed with a real Claude agent.

See agent configuration for a focused example that injects MCP servers and changes Codex sandbox and approval options while preserving other settings.

See the lifecycle reference for the API.
