The Settings upload, the admin upload, the marketplace install and the
marketplace preview each parsed the ZIP and manifest with their own copy
of the code, and the copies had drifted. A `permissions` string skipped
validation and was then matched by substring, a small ZIP could inflate
to hundreds of megabytes on the server, the Settings upload dropped
`locales` and took origin lists unchecked, and settings schemas were
never checked at all.
All of them now go through `lib/extension-package.ts`:
- every file is inflated through a byte cap, with a limit on entries
- one manifest check: types, permissions, entrypoint, version,
minAppVersion, settingsSchema, configSchema, locales and origin lists
- only checked fields are stored
The plugin runtime received the active locale (init payload + 'locale-change')
and plugins could declare a `locales` map, but none of it was usable: the
locales never reached the runtime, and buildPluginApi exposed no i18n. So
plugin code calling pluginApi.i18n.t(...) (as the External Link Warning plugin
does) always got undefined and fell back to English.
Thread plugin locales end to end and surface an i18n API:
- ServerPlugin gains `locales`; the upload route persists manifest.locales
(alongside configSchema/settingsSchema), and /api/plugins surfaces it to the
client so it flows registry -> client -> sandbox host-bridge -> runtime.
- runtime sets __PLUGIN_LOCALE__ at init (not only on later 'locale-change')
and buildPluginApi exposes `i18n.locale` + `i18n.t(key, vars)` resolving
against the plugin's declared locales (manifest.locales) with English/key
fallback and {placeholder} interpolation.
Lets any sandboxed plugin localize its strings from its manifest.
