+## Delivery order and stopping rule
+
+1. Batch 1: actual authorization management plus network contract consistency.
+   Keep the existing manager layout. Add one independent permission panel.
+2. Batch 1b: the host text interaction slice, then selected context and terminal
+   sharing/drafts. A plugin-supplied gesture is never authority.
+3. A separate navigation slice mounts actual Vault extension pages, then terminal
+   sidebar panes, reusing the isolated ViewHost and keeping content permissions separate.
+4. Deliver the declarative ThemePack stage with security appearance and contrast gates.
+5. Batch 2: SFTP selected-file handles and explicit transfer destinations.
+6. Reassess editor, Notes, snippets, menus, system summaries, and port forwarding
+   using the tested host-action and resource primitives.
+
+Stop only when every row is implemented and tested, reasonably deferred with a
+specific boundary and rationale, or awaiting a concrete user decision. A
+planned row remains unfinished. Native screenshots and recordings belong to
+the parent thread. Real credentials, hosts, or transfers require approval for a
+specific target there. Synthetic checks do not establish native acceptance.
+
+## Batch 1 evidence and next workflow
+
+The independent permission panel adds only an import and a detail mount to
+`components/settings/tabs/PluginPackageManager.tsx`. It uses the manager hook's
+new `refresh()` after host revocation. Marketplace layout remains owned by the
+parallel UI layer. Five locale files contain the panel strings.
+
+The next usable workflow is a browser plugin that asks a host quick-pick/input
+question, then explicitly copies its result or asks the user to share clipboard
+text. The host displays the plugin source and action before reading or writing.
+A canonical `HostInteractionRequest` and bounded result carry only text/choice
+IDs. The host owns request IDs, requester webContents, runtime/version, TTL,
+cancellation, and the consent result. The renderer cannot reply for another
+window. Plugin `userGesture` values are ignored. Runtime/revoke shutdown aborts
+all outstanding prompts and ignores late replies. A shared prompt primitive
+then supports selected host/session context, selection share, and input drafts.
+
+Before proceeding to the sensitive context/terminal and SFTP entries, the
+native path must prove consent, cancellation, quota, and identity binding with
+synthetic data. UI screenshots and real-resource approval remain parent-owned.
+
+Baseline code references: `electron/plugins/hostService.cjs`,
+`secureCapabilities.cjs`, `permissionEngine.cjs`, `terminalProviderService.cjs`,
+`filesystemBroker.cjs`, `extensionProviderService.cjs`,
+`packages/plugin-sdk/src/index.ts`, and
+`packages/plugin-contract/schema/plugin-contract.schema.json`. Host business
+implementations under `electron/capabilities/catalog/` are reference material,
+not plugin authority. `infrastructure/ai/vaultAgentBridgeClient.ts` is not a
+plugin DTO sanitizer.

+# Host text interactions
+
+Status: internal preview. This layer builds on the grant management in Draft
+#3955. It adds `host.interactions` feature discovery, a generated request/result
+contract, and an ordinary browser SDK workflow. Native acceptance remains a
+separate parent-owned gate.
+
+## SDK and authorization
+
+| SDK call | Permission | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ui.quickPick(title, items)` | `ui.interact` | Approved item ID or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `ui.input(title, initialValue?)` | `ui.interact` | Approved single-line text or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `clipboard.readText(title)` | `clipboard.read` | Explicitly shared snapshot or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `clipboard.writeText(text, title)` | `clipboard.write` | `true` after copy, `false` on cancel |
+
+`ui.input` rejects CR and LF in initial values before any dialog is displayed,
+and rejects line breaks on submission. It does not silently remove hidden
+newlines. The displayed single-line value is the value submitted to the plugin.
+Clipboard text continues to support multiple lines.
+
+All calls use the canonical `ui.interact` RPC. No host DOM, native object,
+router, general command ID, or arbitrary IPC channel enters the SDK. Existing
+API versions remain offered. A plugin requiring the new workflow declares
+`features.required: ["host.interactions"]`; old hosts reject unsupported
+required features. Old plugins keep their existing APIs and permissions.
+
+Clipboard prompts restrict new permission decisions to once. Required or
+previously saved grants never skip the host action confirmation. Input and
+choice dialogs need their own declaration; a `views` or `menus` declaration is
+not permission to open them. Direction-specific clipboard permissions remain
+separate. The normal sample uses no network, host/session, filesystem, secret,
+Node, or shell capability.
+
+## User action and text sharing
+
+The host always displays plugin ID/version and a fixed source heading. Titles,
+choices, and text render as plain text. No plugin-supplied `userGesture` flag is
+accepted. The host creates an HMAC action token bound to request ID, runtime,
+plugin version, owner window, action kind, phase, nonce, and expiry. It sends
+that token only to the trusted host renderer. A response must come from the
+same WebContents and present the current token. Tokens are consumed before the
+first asynchronous action guard, so old-phase and duplicate responses cannot
+commit an action.
+
+Clipboard reading has two steps. **Preview clipboard** authorizes a host read
+into a bounded in-memory snapshot. The plugin receives nothing yet. **Share
+with plugin** sends exactly that snapshot after another active-identity check.
+Changes to the system clipboard after preview do not replace it. Cancel, lock,
+window loss, or revoke discards the snapshot. Copy shows the exact replacement
+text and requires its own confirmation before a native write.
+
+Shared text can be sensitive. The host explains that it becomes available to
+the plugin and its granted capabilities, including network access. Reading
+text does not approve a new network destination. This UI does not claim to
+prevent a plugin from transmitting derived text through an already granted
+capability. The example avoids network permission entirely.
+
+## Availability, limits, and cleanup
+
+The first slice supports the focused, visible, unlocked main window only.
+The host renderer registers readiness before any prompt can be presented.
+Other or unready windows return unavailable instead of inheriting an owner's
+authority. One interaction occupies an owner window at a time; there is no
+hidden prompt queue.
+
+`HostInteractionLimits` is the shared canonical source for 4,096 UTF-8 text
+bytes, 100 choices, 64 KiB serialized requests, one pending request per runtime,
+eight total, ten attempts per minute per runtime, and a 60-second lifetime.
+The current main-window-only adapter is narrower than the total pending bound.
+Admission runs before the permission prompt. The generic capability quotas and
+byte windows still apply. Text exceeding its cap is rejected without silent
+truncation. RPC uses the same generated deadline.
+
+After a native permission decision, an originally foreground request can wait
+at most one second for the same owner to regain focus. The host never focuses
+the window itself, presents content in the background, or postpones admission
+for an originally background request. Hide, lock, revoke, runtime stop, owner
+replacement and reload invalidate this admission, even during the permission
+dialog. Runtime activity and foreground state are checked again after waiting.
+
+Input cancellation, timeout, disable/update/crash/revoke, owner blur/hide/close,
+main-document reload, renderer exit, and app lock invalidate pending tokens.
+Same-document or subframe navigation does not permanently unregister a live
+host UI. Runtime teardown clears rate accounting. The broker checks runtime
+activity, owner readiness/focus, and app lock again immediately before native
+read/write or disclosure. A revoked operation cannot resume from a late reply.
+
+Commands normally retain the existing 30-second RPC deadline. A command that
+declares `interactive: true` must require `commands.interactive`; the host gives
+only that command a fixed 180-second total budget. This is not a global timeout
+increase or a UI/clipboard permission. Each individual host interaction still
+has its own 60-second deadline, including permission approval time.
+
+When an outer command fails, times out or is cancelled, the host cancels pending
+interactions and pre-prompt admissions for its captured runtime. On successful
+completion it closes orphan interactions once the last concurrent command ends.
+This cleanup does not reset rate/byte quotas and cannot affect a replacement
+runtime. A failure conservatively closes that runtime's single shared pending
+dialog even if another command is active. Late action tokens cannot commit a
+clipboard effect. Cancellation does not forcibly terminate arbitrary plugin
+JavaScript; ignored errors remain subject to permission, focus, rate and runtime
+limits. Do not start independent interactive workflows concurrently.
+
+Audit records contain only fixed event/action/kind fields. They contain no
+prompt, choices, user text, clipboard bytes, action tokens, or hashes derived
+from those values. A failed consent-audit write prevents the native action;
+no successful operation is reported for that failure.
+
+## Verification and native acceptance
+
+The [browser fixture](../../examples/plugins/host-interactions/README.md)
+exercises choice, input, copy, and clipboard transformation without a plugin
+view. Tests cover the actual runtime/SDK RPC path through permission middleware,
+actual host React dialog events against service-signed actions, denial, cancel,
+quota before prompt, overlong text, duplicate/forged actions, wrong owners,
+stale runtime, revoke during an asynchronous guard, audit failure, deadline,
+lock, blur, document navigation, and renderer teardown.
+
+Parent native acceptance uses a separately approved temporary example-plugin
+session and synthetic clipboard text. It needs no real hosts, credentials,
+network destination, shell, or persistent grant. Check both complete workflows,
+cancel before reading, cancel after preview, cancel copy, and disable/revoke
+with a pending dialog. Record the exact SHA and restore the test clipboard.
+Unit tests are not evidence of native Electron acceptance.
+
+Progress/toast, selected context and terminal sharing/drafts remain later slices.
+Navigation uses the existing sandbox ViewHost and adds no content permission.
+ThemePack and SFTP remain separate stages. This layer alone does not finish the
+capability coverage matrix.

+## Inspect and revoke actual grants
+
+The installed package detail separates declared permissions from **Saved
+grants**. The host-only panel lists resource, scope, session (when applicable),
+and grant time. Each row indicates whether its declaration hash and security
+principal match the host-owned current activation. Saved grants from an older
+package or a stopped/disabled activation remain visible as inactive. One-use decisions do not appear as retained grants. Refresh
+reads the engine again. Recent security events include at most 100 entries and
+project only event, time, permission, and scope. Arbitrary database details,
+operation IDs, terminal content, and credential material never cross this UI
+boundary.
+
+**Disable and revoke all grants** runs through the manager mutation queue. It
+persists disabled state before revoking grants, invalidates contributions, and
+waits for runtime shutdown. Existing runtime teardown cancels RPC, streams,
+leases, providers, and companions. Every cleanup stage is attempted if grant deletion, audit persistence, or
+contribution invalidation fails. Multiple errors are aggregated and reported;
+the UI never claims successful revocation when persistence or cleanup failed. Explicit enable requests fresh access.
+This management bridge is available only to the trusted app renderer. It is
+not a plugin RPC method and grants no plugin authority over another package.
+
+`PluginNetworkRequest` and `PluginNetworkResponse` now derive from the canonical
+schema. `credentialLease` and `authorization` describe the existing host lease
+injection path. Hosts advertise `network.credential-lease` for discovery without
+changing existing API versions or disabling legacy requests. Plugins may
+require that feature or handle its absence. Optional authorization defaults to
+Bearer. Basic authorization accepts a bounded username. Plaintext is redeemed
+only inside the host after origin permission and operation binding checks.

+# Host text workflow
+
+This browser-only fixture uses host choice/input dialogs and explicit clipboard
+copy/share. It has no network, filesystem, host/session, credential, Node, or
+shell permission. Shared text stays in the current operation's memory and is
+not returned in the command result or written to plugin storage/logs.
+
+Version 0.1.1 requires `host.interactions` and `commands.interactive`. Its one
+command explicitly declares the fixed 180-second interactive budget; ordinary
+commands keep 30 seconds and each dialog keeps 60 seconds. The host closes
+pending confirmations when the command fails or ends, without resetting quotas.
+These features add no new data permission. The permission list remains
+required `commands`/`menus`, optional `ui.interact`/`clipboard.read`/`clipboard.write`.
+
+Pack the source after building the plugin packages:
+
+```sh
+node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js pack examples/plugins/host-interactions --out /tmp/host-interactions.ncpkg
+```
+
+Import it disabled in the normal manager. Inspect permissions before enabling.
+Use one-use permissions for this check. With the unlocked main window focused,
+choose **Host text workflow** in the command palette.
+
+- **Compose synthetic text** asks for text and then previews the exact clipboard
+  replacement. Cancel leaves the clipboard unchanged.
+- **Share clipboard and uppercase it** first asks before reading the clipboard.
+  The host previews the captured text and requires a second confirmation to
+  share it with the plugin. The transformed output needs a separate copy
+  confirmation. Clipboard changes after preview do not change the shared
+  snapshot.
+
+Use only synthetic clipboard text. Do not use account data or real secrets.
+The fixture does not require a persistent grant or any network destination.
+A different plugin that also has network permission could send shared text
+through its granted capabilities; reading text does not approve a new origin.
+
+Blur/lock/close the owner window, cancel, revoke access, or disable the plugin
+to end a pending request. Late/duplicate replies cannot commit an old action.
+Only the focused unlocked main window is supported in this first slice. Other
+windows return unavailable instead of inheriting the request's authority.

+# Synthetic credential lease fixture
+
+This browser-only package exercises feature negotiation, plugin-owned secret
+references, a one-use host-consumed network lease, and the host grant panel.
+It contains only synthetic data and targets `https://example.invalid`.
+A synthetic host test supplies the HTTP response. The normal app reports a
+network failure at that deliberately non-routable address after permission.
+This fixture does not prove a live third-party integration.
+
+Pack the source after building the plugin packages:
+
+```sh
+node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js pack examples/plugins/lease-http --out /tmp/lease-http.ncpkg
+```
+
+In the normal plugin manager, import the package disabled, inspect its declared
+permissions, and enable it. The command palette contains **Synthetic credential
+lease request**. Reject a permission prompt to verify that the request stops.
+OS secret storage must be available to proceed past `secrets.set`.
+
+The package detail's **Saved grants** panel shows retained decisions. One-use
+decisions are not retained. **Disable and revoke all grants** disables the
+plugin and waits for its runtime cleanup. Re-enable it to request access again.
+Recent events show event type and permission without terminal or secret data.
+Do not change the destination or substitute real credentials for this check.
