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.

# Frontend Plugin API — globals + registry + host/loader
## Title
Implement the native-JS-plugin runtime: the `window.registerKandevPlugin` global,
the reactive `PluginRegistry`, the `PluginHostApi`, and the loader that imports
plugin bundles from the boot payload.
## Inputs
- **`docs/plans/plugins/PLUGIN-API.md` is the frozen contract — implement it
exactly** (types, method names, slot names, loading sequence, destroy/unregister).
- Store access: `createAppStore`/`useAppStoreApi` in
`apps/web/components/state-provider.tsx` (there is an existing
`window.__KANDEV_E2E_STORE__` global to mirror the pattern). The host needs the
`StoreApi<AppState>` — expose it to plugins via `host.store`.
- Boot payload: `apps/web/src/boot-payload.ts` `BootPayload` type — add
`plugins?: ActivePlugin[]` (`{id,name,bundleUrl,styleUrls?}`).
- React sharing: plugins use `host.React` (host instance). Provide `host.jsx` =
`React.createElement`.
- `@kandev/ui` (workspace pkg) — expose a curated subset on `host.ui`
(Button, Card, Badge, and a couple layout primitives; import what exists).
## Acceptance
1. `apps/web/lib/plugins/registry.ts`: reactive singleton `PluginRegistry`
implementing the contract (register* + get* selectors), tracking owner pluginId,
with `unregisterPlugin(id)` bulk-revoke. Backed by a tiny store/emitter so React
can subscribe (`usePluginRegistry()` hook returning a snapshot).
2. `apps/web/lib/plugins/host.ts`: `installPluginGlobal(hostFactory)` defines
`window.registerKandevPlugin`; `loadPlugins(bootPlugins, hostApi)` injects style
links, dynamically `import(/* @vite-ignore */ bundleUrl)` each bundle, then calls
the registered plugin's `initialize(registry, host)` inside try/catch (a failure
is logged, never throws to boot). `unloadPlugin(id)` calls `destroy?()` +
`registry.unregisterPlugin(id)`.
3. `apps/web/lib/plugins/host-api.ts`: builds `PluginHostApi` for a pluginId
(React, jsx, store, api.fetch scoped to `/api/plugins/{id}`, ui subset, theme).
4. `apps/web/src/boot-payload.ts`: `ActivePlugin` type + `plugins` field parsed.
5. Unit tests (vitest): registry register/get/unregister + owner revoke;
host `loadPlugins` with a fake bundle module that calls the global (mock
`import` via injecting the module, or structure `loadPlugins` to accept an
injectable importer so tests don't need real dynamic import); host-api fetch
path scoping.
## Files
- `apps/web/lib/plugins/registry.ts` + `registry.test.ts`
- `apps/web/lib/plugins/host.ts` + `host.test.ts`
- `apps/web/lib/plugins/host-api.ts` + `host-api.test.ts`
- `apps/web/lib/plugins/types.ts` (mirror PLUGIN-API.md TS types)
- edit `apps/web/src/boot-payload.ts`
## Verification
- `cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck && pnpm test -- plugins && pnpm lint`
## Output contract
Report the exact exported API (so task-19/20/21 align), how dynamic import is made
testable (injectable importer), and the boot-payload additions. Do NOT wire into
routes/nav yet (task-19). Follow apps/web/AGENTS.md lint limits.
## Dependencies
None (contract is fixed in PLUGIN-API.md).
