Session Scratchpad

Fixture ID: com.netcatty.session-scratchpad, version 0.1.1. Required permission: views, for this plugin's own pages only. Required feature: views.terminal-sidebar. No terminal/session read, clipboard, network, Vault, filesystem, credential or shell permission is requested.

node packages/plugin-cli/dist/cli.js pack examples/plugins/session-scratchpad/.package --out /tmp/session-scratchpad.ncpkg

Import disabled through normal Settings, inspect and enable. Parent native QA must obtain a fixture-specific own-views approval; no previous plugin's grant applies. Use only an explicitly approved synthetic terminal target, without entering commands or connecting to real hosts for this page check.

In an open terminal, choose Extension pages in its toolbar, then Session scratchpad. This is a real existing side-panel pane. Save synthetic text, split beside a built-in tool, resize/move/magnify, return and reopen. The host keeps this page's state in a placement/session bucket; the page never receives the session ID, endpoint, cwd, title, history, selection or terminal output. This is plugin-owned text, not a Vault Note, and is not automatically synced.

For a separately approved second synthetic terminal/workspace focus target, verify that navigation closes the old native view and uses a separate draft bucket. Switch back to verify the saved first draft. Clear it to verify deletion. Close the pane, press Escape, disable/revoke, and verify cleanup. Settings/permission dialogs and overlapping menus must stay above native content. No new native target or persistent grant should be inferred from this README; parent coordinates the exact test and records source SHA/package hash.

Current UI build

The page now uses the host-rendered contract. Run node build.mjs in this example directory, then package .package/ with the plugin CLI. host.js registers ordinary DOM views; view.html and view.css are bundled source templates. Theme values are inherited from Netcatty. There is no separate page preload or window.netcattyView API. See docs/plugin-platform/host-rendered-ui.md.
