* feat: add plugin system with grpc runtime and native ui plugins

- go plugin backends ship as release tarballs (per-platform binaries, checksums) that
  kandev installs from url/upload or filesystem sideload+sync, then spawns and
  supervises via hashicorp/go-plugin (unix socket / loopback tcp+automtls)
- strict typed grpc contract (kandev.plugin.v1): DeliverEvent/InvokeTool/HandleWebhook
  plus a capability-gated host service (state, secrets, emit); author sdk in
  pkg/pluginsdk; packaging cli in cmd/plugin-pack
- native frontend bundles: window.registerKandevPlugin + registry/host loader with
  dynamic routes, nav items, slots and ws handlers; plugins settings page with
  install dialog, sync button and enable/disable/uninstall
- gated behind the plugins feature flag (prod off, dev/e2e on); covered by unit and
  integration tests plus playwright e2e against a real packaged fixture plugin

* fix(plugins): hydrate base app context on plugin routes

Plugin-owned SPA routes classify as RouteUnknown, so the boot payload shipped
only feature flags — no workspaces, workflows, or kanban context. Native plugin
UI (e.g. host.ui.TaskCreateDialog) then had an empty store. Hydrate the same
base context as the Home route for unknown SPA routes.

* feat(plugins): expose TaskCreateDialog on host.ui

Lets a native plugin open kandev's real create-task modal (prefilled via
initialValues) instead of POSTing directly.

* fix(plugins): harden filesystem/URL sinks against CodeQL findings

Add sink-level guards on the plugin trust boundary: securejoin containment on
archive extraction (zip-slip), plugin-id validation before every fs_store path,
http/https scheme validation on install-from-URL, and non-interpolated ws-handler
error logging.

* fix(plugins): address review findings (races, resource caps, lifecycle)

- serialize per-plugin startup to close a TOCTOU double-spawn race, and let a
  plugin restart after exhausting attempts
- bound plugin startup with an explicit 30s timeout
- reject backslash paths and cap decompressed bytes by actual size in pkgtar;
  only mark a package Signed when a verifier actually ran and passed
- delete plugin_state on uninstall; validate webhook keys against the manifest
  and cap webhook body size; restart an active plugin when a new version installs

* fix(plugins): sanitize plugin-id path sinks for CodeQL

Pin the plugin id to a single path segment with filepath.Base at recordPath/
configPath and pkgtar.Remove — a barrier the taint analysis recognizes.
Behaviour-identical for valid ids (already validated by safePluginID); clears
the go/path-injection alerts.

* fix(plugins): inline plugin-id validation at path sinks for CodeQL

filepath.Base does not strip '..', so it is not a path-injection barrier. Call
the recognized safePluginID / id-pattern guard inline in Delete/GetConfig/
SetConfig and pkgtar.Remove — the same barrier that already cleared the Get sink.

* fix(plugins): address code-review findings (backend)

- add capability-gating tests for the Host RPC service (was untested)
- close a stop-during-start orphan race so Disable/Uninstall can't leave a
  supervised subprocess behind
- on failed upgrade, remove only the new version dir (not all versions + data);
  restart the prior version
- validate manifest version and reject ids ending in .config (record-file alias)
- make Deliverer.Refresh non-blocking and cancel in-flight delivery on worker stop
- clamp out-of-range webhook status, skip-and-warn corrupt records in List,
  write records atomically, semver-aware sideload version pick

* fix(plugins): address code-review findings (frontend)

- wrap plugin routes + settings routes in a shared PluginErrorBoundary so a
  throwing plugin page shows a fallback instead of white-screening the SPA
- fix disable/re-enable in one session: keep the cached registration and
  re-run initialize instead of relying on a cached ES-module re-import
- prefix root-relative bundle/style URLs with apiBaseUrl (split-origin/Tauri)
- surface partial-install warnings via toast.warning instead of a bare success
- dedupe/remove injected style links on unload; gate PluginNavItems on the flag

* fix(plugins): serialize per-plugin lifecycle + guard config writes

- add a per-plugin keyed lock in Service so concurrent Enable/Disable/Install/
  Uninstall/UpdateConfig for one id are serialized (no status-machine race)
- take s.mu in SetConfig/GetConfig and write config atomically
- bound each plugin initialize() with a timeout so one hung bundle can't stall
  the rest of the boot load

* test(plugins): split service_test.go to satisfy file-length lint

Move the install/URL test group into service_install_test.go; no logic change.

* ci: build and ship the e2e fixture plugin package to E2E shards

The plugin E2E specs' global-setup requires apps/backend/.build/kandev-plugin-e2e-1.0.0.tar.gz.
Build it in the E2E build job, upload it as an artifact, and download it in both
the regular and container shard jobs.

plugins feature flag

Title

Add a plugins feature flag across profiles.yaml, backend config, the runtime flag registry, and the frontend feature-flag types — default prod OFF, dev/e2e ON.

Inputs

  • Pattern reference (office flag): docs/decisions/0007-runtime-feature-flags.md. Concrete touch points found in repo:
    • profiles.yaml features: block (KANDEV_FEATURES_OFFICE with prod/dev/e2e).
    • apps/backend/internal/common/config/config.go:174 FeaturesConfig (add Plugins bool mapstructure:"plugins" json:"plugins") + defaults (~line 333).
    • apps/backend/internal/runtimeflags/config.go:31 ("features.plugins": cfg.Features.Plugins map entry + the apply switch ~line 40).
    • apps/backend/internal/runtimeflags/registry.go (add a registry entry mirroring the features.office entry: Key features.plugins, Label, Description, Risk).
    • Frontend: apps/web/lib/state/slices/features/types.ts (FeatureFlags add plugins: boolean), features-slice.ts (default plugins: false), apps/web/app/actions/features.ts / lib/api/domains/features-api.ts / boot payload mapping if features are hydrated there (grep office to find every site and add plugins alongside).
    • Backend boot payload that ships features to the SPA (grep Features.Office in internal/webapp/).

Acceptance

  1. KANDEV_FEATURES_PLUGINS in profiles.yaml: prod "false", dev "true", e2e "true".
  2. FeaturesConfig.Plugins parsed; default false.
  3. Runtime flag registry entry present (togglable in Settings > System).
  4. Frontend FeatureFlags.plugins typed + defaulted false + hydrated from backend wherever office is.
  5. Existing feature tests updated; add a slice test asserting default plugins: false.

Files

  • profiles.yaml
  • apps/backend/internal/common/config/config.go
  • apps/backend/internal/runtimeflags/config.go, registry.go
  • apps/backend/internal/webapp/payload.go (+ wherever office feature is mapped)
  • apps/web/lib/state/slices/features/types.ts, features-slice.ts, features-slice.test.ts
  • apps/web/app/actions/features.ts, apps/web/lib/api/domains/features-api.ts (as grep reveals)

Verification

  • go test ./internal/runtimeflags/... ./internal/common/config/... ./internal/webapp/... (apps/backend)
  • cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck && pnpm test -- features

Output contract

Report: every file touched, and confirm office-parallel sites all got a plugins sibling (list them). Do not implement the settings page (task-12).

Dependencies

None. (task-09 may add the Plugins config field first; if present, don't duplicate.)
