João Salavisa e145d48f22 feat: add plugin system with grpc runtime and native ui plugins (#1742)
* 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.

Example plugin repo (importable)

Title

A standalone git repo implementing a complete native-UI kandev plugin, usable as the reference/import example.

Inputs

  • PLUGIN-API.md (frontend contract + "Example plugin must") and the manifest format (spec + task-16 ui.bundle).
  • The plugin is a separate process + its own git repo. Create it OUTSIDE the kandev repo at /home/jcfs/.kandev/tasks/kandev-plugin-system_t6e/kandev-plugin-hello/ and git init it (do not nest inside kandev's git). Also drop a copy/symlink note in kandev docs pointing to it.

Acceptance

  1. Repo kandev-plugin-hello/ with git init + initial commit:
    • manifest.yaml: id kandev-plugin-hello, api_version 1, base_url http://localhost:9100, endpoints (health/events/tools/webhooks), ui.bundle: /ui/bundle.js, capabilities.events ["task.created"], one tool echo, config_schema minimal.
    • server/ a small stdlib-only Go HTTP server (or Node) serving: /health, /events (HMAC verify, logs), /tools/echo, /webhooks/*, and /ui/bundle.js (the built ES module) + any /ui/* assets.
    • ui/ source for the bundle: an ES module that calls window.registerKandevPlugin("kandev-plugin-hello", { initialize(registry, host) {...} }) and registers: nav item "Hello" → route /plugins/hello (a native page using host.jsx + host.ui showing a task-created counter), a task-sidebar slot component, and a registerWsHandler("task.created", ...) incrementing the counter. No bundled React (uses host.React). Provide a tiny build (esbuild) producing server/public/ui/bundle.js, or hand-write the bundle as plain JS using host.jsx so no build step is needed (prefer no-build for portability).
    • README.md: what it demonstrates, how to run the server, how to register it against a running kandev (POST /api/plugins/register with manifest, or via the Plugins settings page), and how the bundle loads.
    • Makefile/run.sh to build+run.
  2. Manually loadable: running the server + registering the manifest makes the "Hello" nav item and /plugins/hello page appear in kandev (verified by task-22 e2e).

Files

  • new repo at /home/jcfs/.kandev/tasks/kandev-plugin-system_t6e/kandev-plugin-hello/**
  • docs/public/ or docs/ pointer in kandev (a short "example plugin" note)

Verification

  • Build the bundle (if a build step) and go build/node -c the server.
  • curl /health, curl /ui/bundle.js return 200; bundle is a valid ES module that references window.registerKandevPlugin.

Output contract

Report repo path, files, whether a build step is needed, and the exact registration command. This repo is a deliverable the user asked for explicitly.

Dependencies

task-16 (manifest bundle field) + PLUGIN-API.md.
