+# Plugin AI and selected context: implementation checkpoint
+
+Base: ThemePack #3978, `91b8927c56314e68c06e2c008e84559ddfb96d78`.
+Branch: `feat/plugin-ai-context`.
+Status: isolated host internals and fixture-tested transport reuse. Public contract,
+production adapters, installable example, independent review, and native acceptance
+are pending. This source is not ready to merge or release.
+
+## Proposed public boundaries
+
+The proposed optional features are `ai.model-invocation` and
+`context.selected-read`. The parent has not confirmed these names. No canonical
+schema, generated contract, SDK, runtime peer, hostService, or installer changes
+are included in this checkpoint.
+
+The model API uses a host-selected configured model. Plugins receive a chat
+handle, a display label, an expiry, turn handles, text chunks, and usage totals.
+Plugins do not supply provider IDs, URLs, credentials, tools, or Agent policies.
+The internal operations are `open`, `start`, `read`, `stop`, and `close`.
+`read` pulls one chunk with one pending read per turn. The parent can map this
+iterator onto the existing stream router after the canonical contract is agreed.
+
+Context summary enumeration returns only references explicitly shared with the
+current runtime and source owner. Content reads require an opaque handle and an
+expected version. Summary enumeration never calls the content reader. Supported
+selected scopes are workspace, tab, session, host, and Note. There is no inventory
+or arbitrary entity-ID lookup.
+
+## File ownership

+| Owner | Files or responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| This task | `electron/plugins/ai/`, `electron/plugins/context/`, `infrastructure/ai/plugin/`, `examples/plugins/assistant/`, this document |

+| Market task | Source identity, private data-owner namespace, installer database, marketplace UI |

+
+The existing `feat/plugin-terminal-sharing` commit
+`3cdc97782ef3262969eee9d540e03ebe6fdee210` is preserved. Its
+`terminal-sharing-wip.md` describes incomplete selection publication and review.
+This branch does not claim that workflow is complete.
+
+## Implemented authority
+
+`ModelInvocationBroker` requires host-provided `resolveDataOwner` and
+`selectModel` adapters. It keeps chats and turns in memory. It stores no chat
+history and makes no database changes. Data owners are opaque host identities;
+no private storage is keyed by `pluginId`.
+
+Each handle is bound to a data owner, a runtime ID, and a plugin version.
+Every read rechecks runtime authority, the current model, handle lifetime, and
+selected context versions. Revocation aborts pending turns. Late provider results
+are discarded. Another source with the same plugin ID cannot read, cancel, or
+close the original source's handles.
+
+`SelectedContextAuthority.share` is a trusted host operation. A plugin must never
+call it directly. Its descriptor accepts only a scope, a title, a version, a text
+reader, and a current-selection guard. Unknown Host fields are rejected. Content
+has a 16 KiB cap, excludes NUL, and rejects PEM private keys. The production host
+reader must project safe fields explicitly and exclude passwords, private keys,
+TOTP values, identity credentials, startup commands, and environment variables.
+Free-form Notes can contain secrets that field projection cannot detect. The
+trusted sharing UI must preview the selected text before sharing it.
+
+`createPluginModelAdapter` calls the existing `createModelFromConfig` and
+`streamText`, through the existing host provider transport. Credential injection
+stays in Netcatty. Direct-fetch fallback is disabled for this adapter. Incoming
+SSE payloads have an aggregate 128 KiB cap before SDK buffering. SDK retries are
+disabled. Only text and allowlisted token totals reach the broker. Provider
+errors, raw chunks, reasoning, headers, and tool payloads do not cross it.
+
+No AgentRuntime, internal prompt, full MCP catalog, tool executor, Node runtime,
+raw host IPC, or global renderer store is exposed to plugins. A model tool request
+ends the turn without executing an action. Notes edits and terminal input are
+outside this checkpoint. No command is written to a terminal or followed by Enter.
+
+The default broker limits are defined in `MODEL_INVOCATION_LIMITS` and
+`SELECTED_CONTEXT_LIMITS`. They include concurrent handles, turn and chat lifetime,
+input and output bytes, output token caps, event count, requests per minute, and
+reserved tokens per minute. Input token reservation uses UTF-8 bytes plus 1,024
+bytes for framing and the output token cap. This is a conservative estimate, not
+a tokenizer or a monetary billing cap. Provider usage is reported separately.
+Reservations are not refunded after cancellation. Rate limits survive runtime
+restart within the broker's lifetime. Host shutdown clears this in-memory state.
+
+## Required host adapters
+
+Production integration is blocked on these parent-owned contracts:
+
+1. `resolveDataOwner(context)` must return the current private source owner from
+   host provenance. A plugin-supplied source value or plugin ID is insufficient.
+2. `selectModel(context)` must return a trusted invocation adapter for the model
+   explicitly selected in the main UI. No provider configuration crosses RPC.
+3. The renderer adapter must validate the current window, selected resource,
+   lifecycle generation, version, and owner before and after asynchronous reads.
+   Reconnect, tab or session close, navigation, lock, disable, and permission
+   revocation must invalidate handles and abort turns.
+4. Summary enumeration, content reads, and model invocation need separate
+   permissions. Only the canonical schema can define their wire format.
+   Model invocation permission does not grant context or action permissions.
+5. Host review must show selected content before it becomes model input.
+   A command-palette or menu ID is never resource authority.
+6. The shared hostService adapter must register teardown and permission-revoke
+   hooks, and discard results if its renderer owner changes.
+
+## QA evidence
+
+The domain suites and transport suite use synthetic data only. The transport
+suite starts a deterministic OpenAI-compatible HTTP server on loopback and
+checks this path:
+
+`ModelInvocationBroker` -> `createPluginModelAdapter` -> `createModelFromConfig`
+-> `createBridgeFetchForSDK` -> existing `_streamRequestForTests` main transport
+-> local fixture -> text and usage.
+
+This is not real model inference or paid API testing. It uses no paid keys, real
+Notes, hosts, or chat history. The credential value is a fixed synthetic marker;
+the existing model factory replaces it with its IPC placeholder. The test does
+not exercise native credential storage or production credential injection.
+
+The tests cover source, runtime, and version denial; separate summaries and
+content reads; context invalidation; provider cancellation and late results;
+deadlines; request, token, event, input, output, and stream-byte limits; and
+allowlisted response serialization. Raw provider diagnostics remain inside the
+host.
+
+Commands:
+
+```sh
+node --test electron/plugins/modelInvocation.test.cjs
+node --test --import tsx infrastructure/ai/plugin/modelInvocationAdapter.test.ts
+npx eslint infrastructure/ai/plugin/*.ts infrastructure/ai/sdk/providers.ts examples/plugins/assistant/panel.js
+```
+
+The final focused domain run passes 16 tests. The transport suite passes three
+tests, including the actual assistant panel's Send, streaming, usage, and Stop
+handlers in JSDOM. The test bridge uses structured clones to model the existing
+view command boundary. It does not replace installed-plugin or native coverage.
+The wider plugin runtime run passes 556 tests with one skipped. The existing
+provider regression suites pass 34 tests.
+
+The full repository typecheck fails in existing code, including provider tool-call
+inference and plugin CLI test manifest literals. No new adapter type errors were
+reported. The focused lint passes.
+
+Native Electron launch aborts because the bundled `chrome-sandbox` is not owned
+by root with mode 4755. No sandbox bypass was attempted. Native screenshots,
+video, installed-plugin UI tests, packaged builds, and independent review are
+pending on the parent's working desktop after shared integration. The panel
+source alone is not evidence of native acceptance.

+# Byte stream integration checkpoint
+
+The branch starts at #3978 `91b8927c56314e68c06e2c008e84559ddfb96d78`.
+It integrates source APIs from #3981 `ab8764a31752fd2d226c9d029c4d65498ba7b063`
+and AI service/adapters from #3986 `264f1d983cd1ed83fe4873974a614fff2f47f989`.
+No source database or sync implementation is changed by the transport delta.
+
+## Registered transport
+
+Canonical definitions are in `packages/plugin-contract/schema/plugin-contract.schema.json`.
+`network.byte-streams` negotiates the capability. The separate `network.stream`
+permission requires explicit `tcp://host:port` or `tls://host:port` resources.
+Wildcard declarations and grants cannot authorize raw streams. HTTP grants and
+payload limits are unchanged.
+
+The SDK exposes `context.network.connect({ endpoint }, cancellationToken?)`.
+The returned connection has `endpoint`, `readable`, `writable`, `close()`, and
+`dispose()`. The control methods are `network.stream.connect`,
+`network.stream.attach`, and `network.stream.close`. Descriptors, request
+shapes, feature names, limits, generated SDK types, and host validators share
+the canonical schema. Unknown request properties are rejected.
+
+The registered service authenticates the host runtime before source lookup.
+Runtime startup captures the existing opaque source owner. Every asynchronous
+commit revalidates the runtime, active and retained source, and opaque owner
+through the source task's APIs. Caller-supplied owner/source parameters are
+rejected. Audit commits also verify the source binding.
+
+Connection and stream IDs are host-issued and bound to that runtime and owner.
+The SDK prepares its incoming waiter before attach starts the host producer.
+Both directions reuse the existing binary stream router and credit windows.
+Input credit returns after the socket write callback. Output backpressure
+bounds the producer. The router has one optional producer `onClose` hook;
+peer cancellation releases the socket even while it is idle.
+
+The host validates all DNS answers and pins a literal IP. Production rejects
+loopback, link-local, unspecified, multicast, mapped local addresses, selected
+IPv6 tunnel forms, and the machine's own interface addresses. The production
+host constructor never forwards the core's explicit local-test override.
+There is no proxy discovery, reconnect, UDP, listen, generic IPC, shell, Node
+plugin runtime, or filesystem escape.
+
+Limits are four connections per runtime, 64 globally, 64 KiB chunks and socket
+buffer thresholds, and 8 MiB combined bytes per connection, plus the existing
+runtime byte quota. Connect, idle, and lifetime deadlines are 10, 30, and 120
+seconds. Close tombstones are capped at 256 small identity records. Revocation,
+runtime stop, disable, shutdown, and stream cancellation release resources.
+
+TLS requires trust and original-hostname validation with TLS 1.2 or later.
+Plugins cannot set custom CAs, SNI, or validation exceptions. STARTTLS is not
+implemented. Generic audit records contain endpoint, runtime, handle, and byte
+counts. The host does not inspect SQL or record payloads or credentials.
+
+## Additive AI interface for the parallel owner
+
+The same canonical schema defines the relayed `AI_CONTEXT_ROUTES` types.
+The SDK/runtime expose `context.ai.openChat/startTurn/readTurn/stopTurn/closeChat`
+and `context.selectedContext.list/read`. Host registration advertises
+`ai.model-invocation` and `context.selected-read`, and wires runtime cleanup,
+plugin disable, revocation through the service, and shutdown.
+
+The trusted host adapter constructor option is `pluginAIHostAdapter`. It has
+the service owner's `assertActive`, `selectModel`, `listSelected`, `reviewText`,
+and optional lifecycle callbacks. These callbacks are never exposed to plugin
+views. The default adapter rejects model invocation, returns no selected
+resources, and refuses text review. The AI owner still owns real renderer
+wiring and model/context UX. A registered synthetic adapter test is not proof
+of that remaining production wiring.
+
+## Database example
+
+`examples/plugins/database-minimal` is an ordinary browser plugin. Its developer
+preparation tool creates an `.ncpkg` for one exact disposable private IPv4
+endpoint. The output contains a browser bundle, a normal manifest, and view
+assets. The preparation tool and its Node dependencies are not in the plugin.
+
+Only the example contains the database protocol: common protocol 4.1,
+`mysql_native_password`, and
+`SELECT value FROM plugin_demo.example_result LIMIT 1`.
+The view accepts session-only fixture credentials and clears its password
+field before dispatch. It does not save view state, settings, logs, or secrets.
+The host never exposes SSH or AI credentials. JavaScript does not promise
+memory zeroization. The account's server-side SELECT grant enforces read-only
+access. The fixed query is not a SQL security classifier.
+
+The example has no query editor, schema browser, pool, arbitrary SQL, or host
+connection-management subsystem. See the example README for native setup.
+
+## Evidence and limits
+
+- Both source-reviewed races have executable real-loopback regressions here.
+  Delayed final-byte consumption previously lost EOF after the socket closed.
+  Double-microtask cancellation previously created an untracked late socket.
+  Each regression failed before its respective fix and passed afterward.
+- The broker tests use real TCP/TLS sockets, including trusted fixture CA,
+  untrusted certificate and wrong-hostname denial. Connect and idle deadline
+  cases use mock clocks around real sockets or delayed DNS.
+- The installed entrypoint test builds and installs a normal package, executes
+  its actual browser entry module through SDK/RPC/binary streams, and exercises
+  grant denial, exact resources, unknown-field rejection, close, revoke, and
+  disable. It also exercises registered AI/context SDK routes with a synthetic
+  trusted adapter. Its runtime harness is Node and is explicitly not a browser
+  sandbox or OS sandbox test.
+- The disposable MariaDB test checks a synthetic SELECT result and server-side
+  INSERT denial. It creates an internal network, publishes no host ports, and
+  removes the container and network. Database transport is plain TCP inside
+  that disposable network, not database TLS.
+
+Normal native BrowserWindow, full app/package checks, exact-head independent
+review, and screenshot/video acceptance remain separate required evidence.
+Do not disable the Chromium sandbox to obtain that evidence.

+
+## 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.
+
+## Navigation slice checkpoint
+
+The Vault stage adds `views.vault-pages`, the `vault-page` location, and the
+existing `views` permission. It grants no Vault/session data. The ordinary
+browser Scratchpad example uses only its own bounded view-state API and
+explicit user input. It is not a Notes API or automatic sync feature.
+
+The independent integration base includes #3956 UI polish and #3960 d4ca fixes;
+frozen evidence heads and prior PR bases are unchanged. Related UI changes in
+this stage are limited to VaultView/VaultViewLayout, new independent plugin
+components/hooks, and localized strings. PluginMarketplace/PluginPackageManager
+layouts are not rewritten. Native acceptance belongs to the parent with a new
+fixture-specific own-views approval. Sidebar, ThemePack, selected context and
+SFTP remain unfinished; this checkpoint is not overall completion.
+
+## Terminal sidebar checkpoint
+
+`views.terminal-sidebar` exposes one more existing sandbox view placement,
+using only the existing own-views permission. The host owns navigation,
+selection, split/close and focus. Its context is a surface string only; no
+terminal DTO or resource authority is implied. The Session Scratchpad fixture
+uses explicitly typed synthetic text and its own view state.
+
+This stage builds on ordinary merges containing #3960 8e4dd0c and the #3971
+stale-layout callback fix. Prior QA heads and PR bases are not rewritten. The
+ThemePack implementation, selected-context/drafts and file handles remain
+unfinished; parent review/native gates still apply to each delivered head.
+
+## Color-pack and remaining workflow checkpoint
+
+The first [ThemePack color layer](./theme-packs.md) now has an implemented host
+catalog, data-only admission, Appearance selector, local preview, revision-safe
+application/reset, missing-version fallback and host security palette boundary.
+It is not native-accepted until the new exact head is independently reviewed,
+built by CI and exercised through normal Settings. Terminal palette linkage is
+not accepted by this contract yet, so a declared but ignored linkage cannot be
+counted as coverage. Font/density/icon/background packs remain separate product
+and accessibility decisions, rather than arbitrary CSS permissions.
+
+Parent native evidence for sidebar `a8adeb86` now covers the original Local
+Terminal blocker, own-views Once, save, magnify/restore, a split with empty Notes,
+and side/bottom docking. `733f44c` adds only the production bridge projection
+regression. The older `0c097a1` CI run `40308057623` remains **failed and
+unattributed**: 9447 top-level TAP results are `ok`, the aggregate footer is
+missing and the process exits 1. A newer passing run does not change that record.
+The native Vault success retains its original `0c097a1` evidence label.
+
+The next implementation stages are bounded by useful workflows:
+
+1. **Selected terminal sharing and drafts (A).** Reuse host-signed action
+   contexts for an explicit selection preview/share, then let the plugin submit
+   a bounded input draft to the host compose surface. No Enter, raw PTY, history
+   enumeration or background terminal listener. First add a host-selected
+   session handle with a minimal from-scratch DTO and independent lifecycle
+   watch; navigation alone grants no content. Bind handles to actual session and
+   connection identity, runtime/version, owner, mode and TTL. Cover cancel,
+   reconnect, close, revoke and late draft results with synthetic terminals.
+2. **Selected file conversion/transfer (A).** The host picker issues read or
+   explicit-destination write handles. Start with one file, stat/read and saveAs
+   or upload, not recursive traversal or arbitrary paths. Require destination
+   preview/overwrite confirmation, byte/concurrency limits, cancellation,
+   session/endpoint identity and final active checks. Observe/cancel only the
+   plugin's own transfer. Real native SFTP targets require parent-coordinated
+   concrete approval; local tests use isolated fixtures.
+3. **Versioned document proposals (selected B).** Reuse snapshot/handle and host
+   review primitives for one explicitly shared editor document or Note. Apply
+   only an expected-version patch to its buffer after a visible diff; saving a
+   remote file remains a separate file operation. Reuse the draft path for a
+   selected snippet or new snippet template; do not run scripts or add onConnect
+   bindings. Cover edits after snapshot, detached ownership, closure and revoke.
+4. **Final reassessment.** Recheck the matrix by actual workflow and eight gates.
+   Read-only system aggregates, selected port-rule status and bounded navigation
+   may be added only where the shared primitives leave a concrete useful gap.
+   Full process arguments/env/inspect, tunnel start, arbitrary AI/MCP tools,
+   background jobs, general KV sync and raw high-privilege access remain deferred
+   or retained boundaries. Do not invent new C work to prolong the task.
+
+These stages remain unfinished work, not API-name coverage. Exact schemas and
+ordering will follow the existing brokers/adapters rather than a parallel RPC
+stack or one namespace per product module.

+# Curated plugin catalog
+
+The catalog lives in `electron/plugins/catalog.json` in this repository. There
+is no new marketplace account service or external directory repository. It is
+shipped with the app; catalog changes become available with an app update.
+Normal Settings exposes browser-only management and catalog browsing. Advanced
+local packages require `NETCATTY_PLUGIN_DEV=1`; that flag never grants permissions.
+Native acceptance and security/distribution review remain required before merge.
+
+## Submit or update a plugin
+
+Open a PR changing one entry. Provide:
+
+- Stable reverse-domain plugin ID, author, name and short description.
+- Public GitHub source repository and explicit license matching the package.
+- Exact version, full 40-character source commit and relative README `.md` path.
+- The complete validated manifest: engine/API ranges, required/optional permissions,
+  bounded resources, features and data/sync declarations must match package bytes.
+- Optional published artifact URL and SHA-256. No artifact means a source-only
+  example: the UI does not offer installation. Do not invent an artifact URL.
+- A concise change log, permission diff, supported OS test results, and synthetic
+  reproduction instructions. Current public runtime eligibility is browser-only
+  on the host platforms; native/platform-specific companions are excluded.
+
+Use the local CLI from the repository root:
+
+```sh
+npm ci
+npm run build:plugin-packages
+node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js validate examples/plugins/hello-netcatty
+node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js pack examples/plugins/hello-netcatty --out /tmp/hello-netcatty.ncpkg
+node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js validate /tmp/hello-netcatty.ncpkg
+```
+
+The catalog contains first-party source examples: Plugin Starter for minimal
+settings/command use, and Hello Netcatty for terminal provider demonstrations.
+No downloadable release is fabricated or published by this change. A maintainer
+must verify real artifact provenance before adding the artifact object.
+
+## Enforced install boundary
+
+The renderer sends only a catalog ID. The main process selects the shipped
+entry, downloads over HTTPS from approved GitHub hosts with bounded size/time
+and redirects, checks SHA-256, and hands a private file to the same serialized
+PluginManager and PackageStore used for local imports. The immutable staged
+snapshot is hashed again before any version switch. Its exact ID/version,
+license and full manifest must match the catalog. Unknown permissions fail
+canonical schema validation. Browser-only eligibility rejects Node entrypoints,
+companions, raw terminal interceptors and advanced runtime declarations.
+
+The directory is a curated integrity assertion, not a publisher signature.
+Unsigned runtime grants remain bound to package digest. No latest fallback and
+no background code updates exist. Installing an update stops the old version;
+the new version remains disabled until reviewed and explicitly enabled. Required
+permissions are mediated again by the existing runtime permission engine.
+Local advanced development packages require the developer flag and use the existing permission model;
+this does not grant advanced privileges or make Node a sandbox.
+
+README is fetched only from the selected commit, on opening details. Redirects
+are refused and responses are limited to 256 KiB. Rendering constructs a small
+allowlist of React elements from Markdown; HTML remains escaped text and images
+are not fetched. Only explicit HTTPS links can be opened. README content is
+untrusted author documentation; permissions come from the manifest.
+
+## Review and maintenance
+
+CI now runs canonical plugin contract drift checks and the runtime suite,
+including catalog validation and install-boundary regression tests.
+Run `node --test electron/plugins/catalogService.test.cjs` and the plugin
+contract/runtime tests for every entry change. Review actual package/source
+provenance and permission/resource differences manually on first submission and
+sensitive updates. Packaging validation includes traversal/integrity checks but
+is not a malware audit. Human review is mandatory before adding an artifact;
+there is no automated acceptance bot in this slice.
+
+Authors maintain their plugins, document data handling and respond to security
+reports. Maintainers may remove entries or decline updates. Directory checks
+are limited checks, not a safety certification, legal waiver or a promise to
+repair third-party plugins. No third-party terms are copied here.
+
+## Data and lifecycle
+
+Local KV is per-plugin and does not sync. Only explicitly syncable non-secret
+settings enter encrypted sidecars; machine paths, grants, packages, runtime
+state and secrets do not become cloud authority. Existing sidecar conflict and
+account isolation mechanisms are reused. A generic KV sync API remains a separate
+schema/migration decision.
+
+Incompatible host/API/features disable plugins before lazy contributions are
+published, retain package/data and record a reason. A compatible downgrade never
+automatically re-enables them. Disable stops runtime and contributions; uninstall
+removes package code and local KV, while user-owned settings/secrets/sidecars
+remain. Existing crash quarantine and generation-bound cancellation apply.
+
+Missing OS-backed key storage blocks secrets/credentials, without blocking
+catalog browsing or non-secret plugins. The Settings manager reports this state;
+never switch to plaintext storage or disable Chromium sandboxing for a demo.
+
+## When permission prompts appear
+
+Enabled is an availability switch, not a security review or a grant. A lazy
+plugin can become enabled without starting code. Its first command/provider use
+starts the runtime; required permissions are authorized at that activation
+boundary. Optional permissions are requested when a broker operation needs them.
+Missing/denied decisions fail closed. Never interpret an Enabled badge as proof
+that terminal, credential, network or filesystem access has been approved.

+# 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.

+# Host and Vault actions
+
+Feature: `vault.host-actions`. The SDK registers three methods under
+`context.vault`. Netcatty owns the picker, field-diff review, and connection
+confirmation. Plugin business logic stays in the offline browser sandbox.
+
+Base: source integration #3981 at
+`4213d8e6726c44e7a479418ece3adf16ea494782`.
+The published stream/AI branch point `c4433d496` is preserved through an ordinary
+merge. Its owner was still completing integration checks when it was published.
+
+## Reusable boundaries
+
+| Concern | Existing contract | Reuse |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Host picker | `components/SelectHostPanelContent.tsx` | Controlled `selectedHostIds` and `onSelectionChange`; group toggles resolve to explicit host IDs. |
+| Typed drafts | `ImporterHostDraft` in `packages/plugin-contract/schema/plugin-contract.schema.json` | Create allowlist: label, hostname, username, port, group, tags. Edit allowlist: label, group, tags. |
+| Validation and preview | `normalizePluginImporterRecords`, `buildVaultHostFromDraft` | Validate the raw address, normalize the importer draft, validate the normalized result, and show the normalized field diff. |
+| Vault writes | `useVaultState.commitVaultImportTransaction` | Existing shared Vault lock, expected host snapshot, encryption, stale-write checks, and journaled persistence. Optional authorization guard runs after encryption. |
+| Connection | `AppSideEffects.handleConnectToHost` | Existing saved-settings, group defaults, authentication, logging, and session creation flow. |
+| Script disclosure | `applyGroupDefaults`, `hasHostConnectAutomation`, `snippetAppliesToOutputTrigger` | Boolean disclosure covers inherited startup commands, global/group/host connect scripts, unresolved bindings, host output triggers, and applicable global output scripts. Script contents remain host-owned. |
+| Lifecycle | `PluginHostInteractionService`, `PluginPermissionEngine`, runtime route `assertActive` | Existing window ownership, focus, lock, signed replies, cancellation, and revocation patterns. |
+| Source identity | `PluginDatabase` | `getActivePlugin`, `getRetainedPluginSource`, `privateOwner`, and `publicPluginId`; no caller-supplied owner or bare-ID fallback. |
+
+## Public methods
+
+| Method | Parameters | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `vault.selectHosts` | `{ title: string }` | `{ cancelled: true }`, or `{ cancelled: false, hosts, groups }`. |
+| `vault.requestHostDraft` | Create: `{ draft: { label?, hostname, username?, port?, group?, tags? } }`. Edit: `{ target, expectedRevision, draft: { label?, group?, tags? } }`. | Cancelled, or `{ cancelled: false, status: "saved" }`. |
+| `vault.requestConnect` | `{ target, expectedRevision }` | Cancelled, or `{ cancelled: false, status: "requested" }`; no session identifier or content. |
+
+Selected metadata contains label, hostname, username, optional port, protocol,
+group path, and tags. Each host result contains `{ target, metadata }`. Host IDs
+remain behind the typed target reference; its revision is the expected revision.
+Group metadata describes the explicitly selected current member handles. The
+grant never expands when another host joins a group.
+
+Selection grants metadata access only. Each draft save and each connection
+requires its own host-owned confirmation. A connection confirmation displays the
+saved target and whether saved scripts can run. It does not grant terminal input,
+terminal output, or session access.
+
+All requests are bounded and cancel on runtime stop, source replacement, revoke,
+Vault lock, owner window replacement, expiry, or user cancellation. The host
+revalidates authority and expected revision after asynchronous work and before
+the Vault write or connection dispatch.
+
+Bounds reuse `HostInteractionLimits`: one pending request per runtime,
+eight total, ten per minute, a 60-second confirmation deadline, and a 64-KiB
+request ceiling. Selection adds a maximum of 50 current hosts. Titles use the
+existing 128-character single-line limit. Draft field lengths use
+`ImporterHostDraft`. Unknown properties are rejected by the shared schema.
+
+Creates produce saved SSH drafts. An empty group clears the saved group. Edits
+preserve connection endpoints and credentials. Changing a group can change
+inherited authentication, proxies, and scripts; the draft review states this.
+Drafts involving managed SSH-config hosts or SSH destinations inside managed
+groups are explicitly unavailable in this small API. The review disables saving
+and directs the user to the Vault host editor. The execution adapter enforces the
+same restriction before claiming action authority, using the existing
+`applyVaultHostUpdate` ownership rules. It also checks the live and persisted
+managed-source catalog for changes before writing. This API does not initiate
+managed-file sync or expose plugin file access.
+
+The API excludes Vault and renderer stores, the internal MCP catalog, plaintext
+credentials, private keys, TOTP configuration, startup scripts, and arbitrary
+execution. Host selection and action UI live in Netcatty. Plugin business logic
+stays in the sandboxed plugin.
+
+## Typed target and action authority
+
+`VaultHostRef` is a signed `host.selection` reference with `scope: "metadata"`,
+an opaque handle, a revision, and an expiry. It identifies an exact chosen host.
+It does not authorize editing, connecting, terminal input, or terminal output.
+
+References bind source, private owner, plugin version, runtime, window owner and
+generation, exact host ID, revision, and expiry. They live for five minutes at
+most, with at most 500 retained references. Another selection replaces that
+runtime's previous references. Lock, revoke, window replacement, and runtime stop
+invalidate the affected references. Removal or replacement of a host makes its
+renderer revision stale, even if its visible fields are identical.
+
+`PluginAISourceBinding` supplies the existing host-only source identity primitive.
+It revalidates after asynchronous authentication. AI selected-context handles are
+text-disclosure handles and cannot target these actions.
+
+The permission engine gates selection with `vault.metadata`, drafts with
+`vault.write`, and connection requests with `ui.interact`. Every save or connection
+also requires a separate host-owned confirmation and a signed one-use action
+claim. A stored permission grant cannot bypass this review.
+
+After review, the renderer prepares the existing transaction or connection
+request. It claims action authority after the final asynchronous preparation,
+immediately before persistence or dispatch. This claim is the action's commit
+point. Completion only acknowledges the committed action. Automation changes
+during connection review require fresh confirmation.
+The connection label uses the same `resolveEffectiveTerminalProtocol` helper as
+the launcher, including Mosh/ET flags and implicit localhost shells. Local
+execution displays an explicit on-device shell notice and omits the remote SSH
+username and port.
+
+## Sample and validation
+
+`examples/plugins/host-actions` adds four commands through the existing command
+palette slot. Its create draft uses `synthetic.invalid`; it requests no network,
+filesystem, terminal-content, or credential permissions.
+
+`components/PluginHostActions.entrypoint.test.tsx` installs that sample and drives
+its actual entrypoint, SDK, RPC registry, source binding, signed replies,
+production React dialog, and renderer execution adapter. It covers explicit
+selection, cancel, stale revisions, locked Vault, host removal and replacement,
+revoke, source replacement, runtime removal, and connection confirmation. Registry
+checks reject text handles, tampered references, caller owners, and mismatched
+expected revisions. Only synthetic resources are used. The Node transport fixture
+does not certify the operating-system sandbox.
+Focused action tests compare Mosh, ET, and localhost confirmations with the real
+`handleConnectToHostImpl` dispatcher while replacing terminal creation with a
+synthetic recorder. Managed A-to-B/outside moves, managed destinations, ordinary
+unmanaged saves, and catalog changes use synthetic source records; no SSH config
+files are read or written.
+
+Native screenshots and video run on the parent's existing cloud GUI. This branch
+does not change Electron sandbox or helper permissions. Tests use synthetic hosts
+and credentials. No real host connection or credential access is authorized.

+# Market sources (unreleased)
+
+The plugin manager has Installed, Official marketplace and Third-party marketplace
+pages. Listing a plugin in the official market does not certify it or establish
+that Netcatty maintains it. Remote manifests, publisher names, source names and
+README content cannot create a host-issued official badge. This revision does not
+issue maintainer badges. README text and images remain author content.
+
+## Add a source
+
+Enter a public HTTPS origin, for example `https://plugins.example.com`, or that
+origin's `/v1/snapshot.json`. Names can change; identity is derived by the host
+from the canonical origin. Credentials, query strings, fragments, custom ports,
+IP literals and local hostnames are rejected. The initial third-party transport
+requires public IPv4 DNS records, pins the checked address to the TLS connection,
+and rejects private/reserved destinations. IPv6-only sources are not supported
+in this revision. No cookies, login tokens, redirects or GitHub fallback are used.
+
+Third-party sources begin empty. A failed request never substitutes the official
+catalog. Each source has its own in-memory last-known-good snapshot and selection
+tokens; an offline snapshot is browse-only. A process restart requires a fresh
+third-party fetch. The official source remains fixed to `plugins.netcatty.app`
+and retains its bundled source examples when unavailable.
+
+## Publish a static source
+
+Use the existing snapshot protocol in the registry project's
+`docs/STATIC-DISTRIBUTION.md`. Every source
+serves `/v1/snapshot.json`, pointing to hash/size-bound catalog, index and delivery
+JSON under `/snapshots/<delivery-sha256>/`. All resources remain on the source's
+origin under content-addressed `/assets/` paths. Whole-JSON budgets, schema,
+manifest, compatibility, browser-runtime admission and archive validation still
+apply. Third-party source consent is not permission consent.
+
+Delivery v1 is unchanged and source-only. Delivery **v2** has the same fields and
+strict schema as v1, with `schemaVersion: 2` and one extension: each plugin's
+`artifact` can be null or a package reference:
+
+```json
+{"path":"/assets/<64-lowercase-hex-sha256>.ncpkg","sha256":"<same-sha256>","size":12345}
+```
+
+Packages are at most 32 MiB. The catalog entry must contain
+`artifact: {url: "https://plugins.example.com/assets/<same-sha256>.ncpkg", sha256}`.
+The index's current, non-withdrawn version must exactly equal the catalog entry
+and use `distribution: "release"`. Source-only entries retain null delivery
+artifacts and `distribution: "source-only"`. Avatars remain null; remote README
+embeds are not loaded. README and PNG/WebP references retain the v1 bounds.
+Existing official bootstrap entries are not changed or made installable.
+
+Before every install, refresh and validate the entire snapshot again. A changed
+selection, withdrawal, unavailable source, altered hash or size prevents install;
+there is no fallback to another source or latest release. Packages install disabled.
+
+## Ownership and changing source
+
+A public plugin ID can have only one installed source. The package's host install
+metadata and durable database binding record that source, including across
+recovery and uninstall. Cross-source install or update is rejected, even when
+version and package bytes match. Local imports are a separate source.
+
+Private settings, view state, persistent and in-memory grants, secrets, and cloud
+sidecars are namespaced by host-derived source identity. Every source, including local imports, uses an opaque encoded owner; public plugin IDs are never storage-owner aliases in sync payloads. Before each sync entry and after every awaited contribution update/reset, the host rechecks that owner against the live source and contributions. Hydration captures its owner before yielding and never remaps a public ID for a later write. KV keys are qualified
+inside the existing per-plugin FK. Code, permissions and source configuration do
+not participate in cloud sync. Old-source cloud settings may remain orphaned;
+they cannot hydrate the same plugin ID from a different source. Generic KV still
+is not cloud-synced. No host/Vault/input migration changes are made.
+
+To change source, uninstall and explicitly select **clear this source's private
+data, grants and secrets**. The host serializes shutdown, revocation, private-file
+cleanup and binding reset. This is destructive and is never selected by default.
+Then install from the new source and review permissions again. An uninstall that
+retains data deliberately retains the binding and continues to reject other sources.
+
+Removing a market keeps its installed plugins and data. Updates stop; optionally
+disable its plugins. No other market silently takes over. Disabling a source only
+stops browsing/install/update access; it does not silently revoke existing plugins.
+
+## Validation limits
+
+Tests use synthetic source responses and first-party packages. Passing tests is
+not a sandbox certification. Native UI, real third-party hosting, network
+availability and multi-device encrypted-sync acceptance must be reported
+separately. No real credentials or untrusted community code are needed for tests.
+
+## Source-owner integration
+
+Use `PluginDatabase.getActivePlugin(context.pluginId)` to require a current host
+installation, then `database.privateOwner(plugin.id)` for an opaque data partition.
+`plugin.source` is host-owned `{id, kind, name, origin}`.
+`getRetainedPluginSource(pluginId)` returns a retained uninstall binding or null.
+`publicPluginId(owner)` resolves only an encoded owner matching the current source;
+it rejects raw public IDs and stale owners. Never accept owner/source from a plugin
+request or invent a `pluginId` fallback. Capture owner/source at async operation
+start and revalidate before committing; follow runtime lifecycle cancellation.
+
+Plugin database schema 7 atomically converts existing raw local private rows and
+KV keys to the same encoded-owner model without deleting them. This is a one-time
+conversion, not a parallel runtime compatibility path. A conflicting conversion
+fails without publishing schema 7. Old raw-ID cloud entries remain orphaned and
+cannot hydrate an installed plugin. Host/Vault/input schemas are unchanged.

+# Native Electron handoff
+
+Repository: binaricat/Netcatty. Frozen baseline: 0256e7471d66bbbca077c361ef379d7b11ce8465.
+Stack: feat/plugin-compatibility-review -> feat/plugin-settings-manager -> feat/plugin-curated-catalog.
+Use the final catalog branch for all three slices. Do not merge or release.
+
+1. Check out the branch on the approved desktop. Run npm ci and npm run build.
+2. Build the first-party sample:
+   npm run build:plugin-packages
+   node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js pack examples/plugins/starter-netcatty --out /tmp/starter-netcatty.ncpkg
+   node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js validate /tmp/starter-netcatty.ncpkg
+3. Launch the actual Electron binary without NETCATTY_PLUGIN_DEV and with a new disposable
+   --user-data-dir path, keeping Chromium sandbox enabled. Use the desktop's working
+   display and safe configuration; never --no-sandbox or real profiles/accounts.
+4. Settings > Plugins: record Community plugins list and Plugin Starter details.
+   Open README: actual pinned first-party GitHub retrieval; HTML inert, no remote images.
+   It intentionally says source-only: no downloadable artifact/release was invented.
+5. Import /tmp/starter-netcatty.ncpkg. It must remain disabled. Expand the installed
+   item: manifest permissions/resources, sensitive markers, Netcatty/API ranges,
+   SHA-256. Enable allows lazy activation; it does not grant permissions.
+   First command/view use prompts before runtime creation. Denying must not run code.
+6. With approved non-advanced permissions for the first-party example, edit Greeting
+   and open Starter: Greeting Panel (入门：问候面板) in the command palette.
+   Click Show greeting (显示问候语) and record the preference rendered in the panel.
+   No real host, cloud account, terminal credentials, runtime.advanced or third-party code.
+   Use Starter 0.1.1 or later. Its menus/views permissions support only the declared
+   command and sandboxed panel; do not expect terminal output.
+7. Disable, re-enable, close/restart the app with the same synthetic profile. Confirm
+   settings persist. Re-import same .ncpkg and verify it stops and stays disabled.
+8. Uninstall only the synthetic plugin using the two-step confirmation. Code/local KV
+   are removed; user-owned settings/secrets/sync sidecars have documented retention.
+9. On machines without a usable OS vault, the manager shows a downgrade notice;
+   secrets remain blocked but browsing and non-secret examples work.
+
+Compatibility upgrade/downgrade, required-feature changes, integrity mismatch,
+manifest mismatch, Node rejection, cleanup and traversal have automated synthetic
+coverage. Do not claim the above native steps were executed on this executor.
+
+This executor's native launch failed at Chromium's SUID sandbox configuration:
+chrome-sandbox is not root-owned mode 4755. No sandbox weakening was attempted.
+Native video is pending on the parent task's working desktop.
+
+10. Use the same AI-settings-style subpages: Installed and Community. Search by
+    name/author/description, open details and return. Verify README error/retry UI
+    if network is unavailable; do not bypass the network restriction.
+11. Inspect human-readable permission name, effect, scope, required/optional and
+    risk. Enabled means eligible for lazy activation, not permissions granted.

+# Plugin manager window and brand icons
+
+Status: historical design investigation. The manager dialog and the accepted brand-icon design are now implemented. See [the current author guide](plugin-icons.md) for the shipped contract and bounds. The sections below preserve the original investigation and recommendations.
+
+## Manager window
+
+Settings > Plugins keeps an explicit Open plugin manager entry. The existing Radix Dialog opens a modal in the current renderer, up to 1180px wide and 88dvh high. Installed and Community, local import, manifest permissions and README remain inside it. Closing releases the mounted manager hooks; reopening starts at Installed. Detail Back stays inside the manager and preserves the Community search. Escape closes the manager and restores focus to its trigger.
+
+This uses the existing theme, dialog focus handling, plugin host and trusted bridge. A separate Electron BrowserWindow would require another renderer lifecycle, preload/context provisioning and trusted-sender review without providing a needed capability here. No window IPC, plugin runtime or grants are added.
+
+## Existing icon support
+
+- `packages/plugin-contract/schema/plugin-contract.schema.json`: `IconReference` is either a host-owned theme icon or a package icon with `light` and optional `dark` paths. It exists on commands, menus and views. `PluginManifest` has no top-level icon and rejects unknown properties.
+- `packages/plugin-cli/src/manifest.ts` validates contribution icon paths. `archive.ts` checks the declared resources during packaging and archive inspection. Missing files and unsafe paths are rejected.
+- `electron/plugins/contributionIconService.cjs` checks declaration ownership and current installed version before and after loading. It requires enabled/non-quarantined status, but does not require a running runtime. It reads a verified package root through `pluginProtocol.cjs` containment/realpath checks. Current input/output limits are 512 KiB, source edge 4096px, 16 megapixels, output edge 64px. Formats include PNG/WebP and SVG, JPEG, GIF, ICO.
+- `contributionIconRasterizer.cjs` decodes in a disposable sandboxed, network-denied BrowserWindow and returns bounded PNG data. Its SVG inspection is not a general SVG sanitizer; isolation/CSP/rasterization remain essential.
+- `application/state/usePluginContributionIcon.ts` discards stale requests. `components/plugins/PluginContributionIcon.tsx` selects light/dark images or a Puzzle fallback.
+- `PluginMarketplace.tsx` currently uses the host Package glyph. The catalog has no separately verified logo asset. Installed/detail surfaces do not expose a plugin brand logo.
+
+An author can already add a contribution icon (inside a command/menu/view):
+
+```json
+"icon": { "kind": "package", "light": "assets/action.png", "dark": "assets/action-dark.png" }
+```
+
+Include both files in the package and run CLI validate/pack. This changes that contribution's icon, not its market listing logo.
+
+## Proposed minimal brand-icon contract
+
+Reuse `IconReference`, adding an **optional** `PluginManifest.icon`; do not invent a URL/logo string format. A package brand icon would look like this after support ships:
+
+```json
+"icon": {
+  "kind": "package",
+  "light": "assets/logo.png",
+  "dark": "assets/logo-dark.webp"
+}
+```
+
+Recommended first version:
+
+- Static PNG or WebP, transparent background if desired; recommend a square 128–256px image. Enforce 256 KiB per source and a 512px maximum edge, validate MIME/signature and decoded dimensions, reject animated input, output bounded raster PNG. A single `light` asset works in both themes; `dark` is optional. Host theme icons can reuse the existing allowlist without package I/O.
+- Relative package paths only: no URL, absolute/drive/UNC paths, traversal, backslash, NUL, symlink escape or archive special entries. Do not read arbitrary renderer-supplied paths. Verify exact package hash/version and declaration on each uncached resolution; key caches by package identity/hash/theme, and discard stale results on update/uninstall.
+- Old plugins omit the field and continue to work with one shared host fallback. Per `contract-and-sdk.md`, adding this optional field requires an API/schema revision. New packages using it must declare the matching API range and required feature, plus a minimum host version that understands it: older strict schemas will reject an unknown field. Do not promise new-manifest compatibility with older hosts.
+- Extend the single contract and regenerate its consumers. Extend CLI path enumeration and both pack/archive checks; enforce image bounds during validation/import, not only in the UI. Reuse contained-file reads and the bounded rasterizer instead of adding file:// or runtime resource access in the application renderer.
+- Separate brand-image availability from contribution availability. Verified installed packages may show a logo while disabled without enabling or activating code. Do not loosen the existing contribution-icon enabled gate globally. Share the decoding implementation through a narrow brand-image operation that resolves the active installed declaration itself.
+- For uninstalled market entries, do not execute or install a plugin to obtain its logo. Use a small, catalog-reviewed static asset bundled with Netcatty, with its source commit and digest bound to that catalog version; absent assets use the same fallback. In particular the two current source-only examples have no downloadable artifact to extract. A later remote asset transport would need its own bounded allowlist/hash/redirect/cache policy and is outside this first proposal.
+- Use one brand-icon component in catalog cards, catalog details and installed lists/details. On decode/read failure keep the fallback and metadata/actions usable; do not fall back to a remote URL. Icons are decorative, with plugin names remaining accessible text.
+
+Do not add brand SVG support initially. Existing contribution SVG support is not removed. SVG brings XML/CSS/external-reference, filter and decoding complexity; supporting it for distribution means retaining isolated offline rasterization, bounded dimensions/time/concurrency and malformed/hostile-source tests. Raster PNG/WebP covers the initial need with less format complexity, though image decoders still require limits and isolation.
+
+## Validation required before implementing brand icons
+
+Contract/CLI tests should cover old manifests, optional fields, missing files, both themes, spoofed MIME, animation, oversized/zero dimensions, archive traversal and symlinks. Host tests should cover disabled installed packages without activation, source-only catalog fallback, stale update/uninstall results and no remote fetch. UI/native checks should cover all three surfaces, broken-image fallback, light/dark themes and accessible names. No new host, filesystem, network or terminal permission should be granted for displaying a verified logo.
