The hook buses, the permission each hook needs and the docs were three
separate lists that had drifted: 145 of 198 hooks were never fired and
nothing noticed. `lib/plugin-hook-catalog.ts` now names each hook with
its kind, permission, payload and when it fires; the permission check
reads it, and a test fails for any catalogued hook without a call site.
Groups still being wired in this branch are listed in that test.
Also:
- new before-hooks for archive, spam, read state, star, keywords, folder
changes, RSVP, event import, tasks, file moves, settings, identities,
filters and out-of-office, plus onComposerClose and onSyncStateChange
- removed hooks that can never fire: the S/MIME group (S/MIME is a
plugin now), onMobileViewSwitch, onSidebarAppChange and the
registerShortcut pseudo-hook
- smime:read no longer grants anything; manifests that name it still
install, with a warning
The admin page offered "User Plugin Uploads" and "Require Admin
Approval", but nothing in Settings used them: there was no upload, no
uninstall and no way to ask for approval, and the admin had no list of
requests. The approval code that existed pinned a hash of the code only
and showed the admin a manifest the browser sent, never the code.
Now:
- Settings > Plugins has an install button (when uploads are allowed),
a remove button for the user's own plugins, and lists in plain
language what each plugin may do, high-risk items first
- an install sends the ZIP to the server, which reads the manifest and
code itself and pins the request to a hash of both
- the admin Plugins tab lists requests with the code and approves or
denies them; a user may have 10 open requests
- a user plugin is checked again on every start, so a revoked approval
or turning user plugins off takes effect
- the consent dialog and the plugin settings are translated, use the
theme colours, and show the sites a plugin may send data to
`api.storage` kept one `plugin:<id>:` namespace for everyone signed in
to the browser and left it behind after signing out, so a plugin read
what it had stored for the previous account, such as quick-notes'
notes on someone else's mail.
Keys now carry the account (`plugin:<id>:@<account>:<key>`). Signing an
account out or removing it deletes its keys, and a full sign-out
deletes all plugin storage. Keys written before this change are handed
to the first account that uses the plugin. Uninstalling a plugin still
removes everything under its prefix.
`http.post` attaches the user's Authorization header to any same-origin
path the plugin's own manifest lists in `apiPostPaths`. A plugin with
only `http:post` could list the JMAP passthrough and get full JMAP
access, or reach `/api/admin/*`, `/api/settings` and the other
credentialed routes. The host now refuses those paths whatever the
manifest says, checked on the decoded path the router sees. Plugins
keep reaching their own sidecar routes.
Only the host API methods checked a plugin's permissions. Every hook
and slot the sandbox reported was wired as-is, so a plugin declaring no
permissions could rewrite recipients and body of every outgoing mail
through `onTransformOutgoingEmail`, replace displayed bodies through
`onRenderEmailBody`, or read all fetched mail through
`onEmailsFetched`. Admin-installed plugins are managed, so users never
saw a consent prompt for any of it.
Each hook and slot now maps to a permission in
`lib/plugin-sandbox/permissions.ts`, checked the same way as API calls
(declared, and managed or granted). Hooks that change what is sent need
`email:send`, display takeovers need `email:render-takeover`, and a hook
or slot missing from the table is refused. Logout and account switches
stay implicit so plugins can always drop per-account state.
Every existing plugin slot renders wherever it's placed in the page (a
toolbar row, an attachment's hover-action bar, etc.) and is constrained
by that spot's own CSS - fine for small controls, but there's no way
for a plugin to show a large custom UI (a graphical file browser, a
multi-step wizard) since even a position:fixed overlay rendered from
inside such a slot is clipped to the surrounding row's own layout, not
the real page (confirmed live building the webdav-storage plugin: a
folder browser rendered but was squeezed into an unusable sliver).
Adds:
- host-dialog.ts: new 'custom' DialogKind + awaitCustomDialog(), reusing
the existing confirm/alert/prompt queue plumbing.
- host-api.ts: 'ui.openDialog' API method.
- runtime.tsx: sandbox-side api.ui.openDialog(opts) proxy.
- plugin-types.ts: new 'plugin-dialog' SlotName - a plugin implements
this slot with its actual custom UI.
- plugin-dialog-host.tsx: renders the requested slot via the existing
PluginIframeSlot INSIDE the dialog's real app-root fixed overlay
(position: fixed; inset: 0, above everything) instead of the
confirm/prompt form, for kind: 'custom'. Resolves via a generic
onResult callback in extraProps (marshalled the same way
composer-attachment-source's onAttach already is - no new plumbing
needed there).
A plugin calls api.ui.openDialog({ slot: 'plugin-dialog', extraProps,
title, width }) and awaits the Promise, which resolves to whatever its
own slot component passes to props.onResult(), or null if the user
closes the dialog without doing so.
The composer chip only knew a boolean: `uploading` flipped on, an
indeterminate bar animated at 40% width, and nothing anywhere carried a
percentage, so a large attachment on a slow link looked frozen for the
whole transfer. The JMAP client has been able to report real progress
since #333 gave uploadBlob an XHR path with onProgress; the composer
just never passed it.
Stock path: pass onProgress and the existing AbortController's signal to
client.uploadBlob. The chip's bar becomes determinate as soon as bytes
are reported (falling back to the indeterminate animation otherwise),
and cancel now aborts the transfer itself instead of being checked only
once the upload has finished.
Plugin offload path (#751): a plugin that offloads an attachment moves
the bytes itself via api.http.post, which the composer cannot observe.
It also cannot be handed a callback: the sandbox bridge marshals
functions host-to-plugin only, and the File a plugin holds is a
structured clone, so object identity cannot correlate its request back
to an attachment. The staged file id can: the composer generated it and
handed it to onBeforeBlobUpload. A plugin echoes it back as the new
optional `progressFileId` on the post options; the host sends the Blob
via XMLHttpRequest (fetch exposes no upload progress events) and reports
bytes into a host-side registry keyed by that id, which the composer
subscribes to before running the hook. Progress never crosses into the
sandbox, and reports for an id the composer is not tracking are dropped,
so the plugin API grows exactly one optional field. Calls without
progressFileId keep the fetch path untouched.
