feat(server): install plugins from npm with integrity checks and staged updates

[saphid]

Model: Claude Opus 5.5. Rebased onto current main with Claude Opus 5.5 on 2026-10-12.

Stacked on #16053 (and #15010). Review only the top 12 commits: fec5fa9.

Rebased 2026-10-10 onto #15010's current head (1fe8efd69a, on main 57b3780). The npm handlers are registered in main's instrumentation map instead of observing themselves. Installing and updating from npm stays on access:write, and the scope test also expects main's requiredPermission field. The follow-up commits in this PR answer review-bot and review findings, each with a focused test; GPT-6.1 Sol (high) reviewed them in two rounds: SHIP. Main moved the host process references into a HostProcess module (#17641), so the npm install test provides the process arguments through HostProcess.Arguments. The commit that types WebSocket handlers against the plain RPC group moved down to the plugin views layer, because main's newer WebSocket methods hit the type checker's instantiation limit one layer earlier. Two new commits end this layer. The tarball reader now reads a prefix only from POSIX headers, not GNU ones, treats a directory's size as reserved space rather than data, and refuses a global header that sets a path or size. A staged update's summary now comes from the catalogue's summarizer, so it lists tools, settings, and actions too. A further commit ends this layer: the tarball reader now refuses a pax record whose last byte is not a newline, so a malformed record can no longer rename the file that follows it. Four further commits end this layer. The tarball reader sizes a GNU long-name record by its own header and refuses a path with a NUL byte. Applying an update now reports the installed new version when only re-enabling the plugin failed, and refuses an update whose files are the ones already installed, which a restart mid-swap could otherwise lose. GPT-6.1 Sol (high) reviewed this port: SHIP. Bot reviews later found three npm tarball header bugs (PAX global headers, directory sizes, GNU magic) and a staged-update summary that left out tools, settings and actions; "fix(server): read npm tarball headers the way tar writers mean them" and "fix(server): list a staged npm update's tools, settings, and actions" fix them, with tests that fail without the fixes (GPT-6.1 Sol (high): SHIP). "fix(server): size the npm unpack cap by archive entries, not files" stops valid archives with directories or extended headers being refused as too large. "fix(server): refuse a pax record that does not end in a newline" rejects a malformed extended header that could rename the next file. "refactor(server): follow the Effect service rules in npm plugin installs" applies main's service rules (namespace service import, errors built where they happen, causes kept). Four fixes from review: GNU long names sized by their own header, NUL bytes refused in tarball paths, an update that applied but could not re-enable the plugin reported as applied, and an update to the already-installed files refused instead of removing the package. A test-only change in the first commit: the two "disable was cut short" tests no longer wait on a file watch, which macOS could miss under load and hang the test. The test plugin now waits on a local socket the test answers. The full npm test file passed 30 of 30 runs under CPU load at this layer and at the top of the stack. Captures below were taken at the revisions they name. At this head (fec5fa9cfd) these pass: focused tests (12 files, 145 tests), typecheck (t3, @t3tools/contracts), lint and fmt on the changed files, knip.

Problem

Plugins can only be added from a directory already on the server's disk. To share a plugin, an author has to tell people to clone or copy files by hand, and there is no safe way to update one: overwriting the directory changes the bytes under a running plugin and drops its consent.

This PR lets an administrator install a plugin from an npm registry, and update it in two steps: stage the new version, review it, then approve and apply it. Installing and updating run nothing; the catalogue still needs consent to the exact unpacked files before a plugin can be enabled. Nothing changes in the web, desktop or mobile UI yet.

Why this qualifies

This is the proposal route in CONTRIBUTING, and no maintainer has agreed to it yet. It needs #6714 (plugin distribution / marketplace), on top of the plugin-system approval the plugin host PR needs on #6714 / #6837.

It stacks on the plugin views PR. It uses only the plugin host (catalogue, consent, supervised children); the dependency on the layers between is ordering. No client calls these RPCs in this PR. The install and update buttons arrive with the plugin management UI PR; until then they are reachable from an administrative connection (the evidence uses a script). We recommend reviewing this together with that UI PR. If the answer is no, we close this and the plugin PRs above it. Previous PR in this stack: feat: show plugin views as isolated right-panel tabs on web and desktop (#16053).

Fix

RPCs, registered in the RPC scope middleware like every other method, and gated on a new optional pluginNpm environment capability so clients never call an older server:

Method	Does	Scope
plugins.npm.list	installed npm packages, with any staged update	orchestration:read
plugins.npm.add({ name, version, registry? })	resolves, verifies, unpacks, adds to the catalogue as needs-consent; runs nothing	access:write
plugins.npm.stageUpdate({ installationId, version })	downloads and checks a version next to the installed one, which keeps running	access:write
plugins.npm.applyUpdate({ installationId, digest })	consents to the staged digest and swaps it in; puts the old version back on failure	access:write
plugins.npm.discardUpdate({ installationId })	deletes the staged files	access:write

Removal is the existing plugins.remove; the server then deletes the downloaded files once the plugin has stopped.

Layout. Each package lives under <state>/plugins/npm/<key>/: package/ is the catalogue installation's directory (same path across updates), npm.json records where it came from, .staging-* holds a download in progress or a staged update, and .previous exists only while an update is applied.

Applying an update journals the swap in npm.json, then runs one catalogue step (PluginCatalog.replace, new and server-internal) under the catalogue's management lock: disable, wait for the process to exit, rename package → .previous and staged → package, re-digest, and consent to the reviewed digest. That consent is the commit point; a failure before it restores .previous and the old consent still applies. If the plugin was enabled it restarts on the new version with a new generation, so calls in flight on the old one can never reach the new bytes. A swap a crash interrupted is finished (if the catalogue already holds the new consent) or rolled back at the next start, and the installation is left disabled.

One rule for file moves. Every move or deletion of plugin files under the npm root goes through one of three catalogue steps (replace, settleReplace, changeFiles). Each claims its paths under the management lock: it is refused while any other installation is rooted in or around them, and it waits until every process that ran from those files has actually exited, even if the disable that stopped it was interrupted. A deletion that is refused or fails stays queued and is retried before every npm step, after every catalogue change, and at startup. The one exception is the provenance record npm.json beside package/, written whole by temp-file-and-rename under the npm lock.

Size: 20 files, +4076 / −5. About 2.45k of the added lines are tests and the tarball test kit; production is about 1.6k (server ~1.4k, contracts ~0.2k).

Security: supply chain

• Who can install: only administrative sessions (access:write). A standard pairing can list packages and is refused for every mutation, through the same middleware as the other plugin management RPCs.
• Nothing runs on install or update. No npm, no package scripts, no require. A package with a preinstall, install or postinstall script, or a native build (binding.gyp), is refused (npm-install-scripts). Dependencies are never installed: every runtime dependency (and each of theirs, by Node's lookup, never above the package root) must be bundled inside the package (npm-dependencies). The plugin then needs consent and an enable like any other plugin.
• Integrity. The registry must publish a sha512 SRI value for the resolved version, or the install fails (npm-integrity-missing); sha1 shasum is not accepted. The downloaded tarball must hash to it, or the install fails (npm-integrity-mismatch) and nothing is written. Only the exact resolved version and its integrity are stored, never a range or tag; ranges are refused by the schema. This protects against a tampered tarball host or transport. It does not protect against a compromised registry or a malicious publish, which can publish matching integrity for bad bytes; that is what consent to the unpacked digest is for. Signatures and provenance attestations are not checked.
• Registry. The default is the public npm registry, kept as one server constant. An administrator may name another registry as an http/https URL; credentials, queries and fragments are refused, and no .npmrc or auth helper is read. The registry response's name must match the request, and its version must be exact (and equal the request when the request was exact). The tarball URL may be any http(s) URL, because the integrity covers the bytes. Requests go out from the server with the server's network access; only administrators can trigger them.
• Extraction limits. Metadata ≤ 1 MiB (30 s timeout). Tarball ≤ 32 MiB compressed, counted while streaming (120 s timeout). The archive is parsed in memory, linear in its inflated size: ≤ 40,000 tar headers of any kind, each path ≤ 1,024 bytes and ≤ 64 segments, pax/GNU long-name headers ≤ 64 KiB, and the unpacked package ≤ 10,000 files / 64 MiB (the catalogue's own caps).
• Path traversal. The whole archive is checked before anything is written. Only regular files and directories under package/ are accepted; links, devices, absolute paths, .. segments, colons (which would name a hidden NTFS stream the consent digest cannot see) and anything that leaves the package root are refused (npm-archive-unsafe). Files are written with wx into a fresh mkdtemp staging directory, so nothing outside it can be created, followed or replaced.
• Package checks. package.json must exist with the resolved name and version (npm-package-mismatch). The catalogue validates t3-plugin.json as usual. A new version must keep the same plugin id (npm-plugin-id-changed).
• Consent is required again on update. applyUpdate takes the digest the administrator was shown; it must equal the staged digest, and the staged files are re-digested before the swap and again after it. The catalogue then holds consent to the new digest only: the old digest is refused (source-changed), so a stale consent can never enable new bytes.
• Trust model. Unchanged from the plugin host PR: a consented, enabled plugin is trusted local code running as the server's user. A dynamic require of something outside the package is not caught by the dependency check.

Evidence

Environment: macOS arm64; this PR on top of the plugin views PR. Tests use an in-memory registry (a mocked HTTP client serving generated tarballs); no test touches the network.

How to exercise it (isolated vp run dev, an administrative session and a standard pairing): from the administrative session, plugins.npm.add a tiny plugin package (a local registry fixture or a real small package), see it needs-consent in plugins.list, consent and enable it; stageUpdate a newer version, applyUpdate with its digest, and see the old digest refused by plugins.consent. From the standard pairing, plugins.npm.list works and plugins.npm.add is refused.

Live trace at this head (isolated server on a fresh home, macOS 26 arm64, Node 24; an administrative session and a standard pairing; a local registry on 127.0.0.1 named through the registry input, so nothing touched the public registry). The test package has one action that reports which version is running, records each activation, and carries prepare and test scripts that would leave a marker if anything ran them.

	Plugin views PR (parent)	This PR
capabilities.pluginNpm	absent	true
plugins.npm.* (all five, administrative session)	Unknown request tag	served, scope-checked

What the trace shows, in order:

1. Install: plugins.npm.add with the latest tag resolves to exact 1.0.0 and returns the installation as needs-consent with its digest. No plugin process starts and no script runs.
2. Refused installs, each leaving the package directory unchanged: a tarball whose bytes differ from the published sha512 (npm-integrity-mismatch, "Nothing was installed."), a tarball with the entry package/payload:code.mjs (npm-archive-unsafe, "has a colon in its path"), and a package with a postinstall script (npm-install-scripts).
3. Consent and enable with the shown digest. The action answers proof.npm 1.0.0 running.
4. Standard pairing: plugins.npm.list works. add, stageUpdate, applyUpdate, discardUpdate and plugins.remove are each refused with requiredScope=access:write.
5. Stage, discard and stage again: staging 1.1.0 shows its manifest and a new digest while the plugin still answers 1.0.0. Discarding deletes the staged files.
6. Approve the update again: applyUpdate with the old digest is refused (source-changed) and 1.0.0 keeps running. With the staged digest the installation moves to 1.1.0 at generation 2 with consent to the new digest, and the action answers proof.npm 1.1.0 running. plugins.consent with the old digest is then refused (source-changed).
7. Remove: the catalogue and npm list are empty, no plugin process is left, and the downloaded files are gone.
8. No package script ran: the only markers are the two activations. The package's postinstall, prepare and test markers are absent.

Remote pass (vp run dev --share, fresh isolated home, clients reached the server only through the tailnet HTTPS origin): every npm mutation from a remote standard pairing, and its remove, was refused with requiredScope=access:write, though it could list. A remote administrative session installed a package (needs-consent), approved and enabled it, ran its action, and removed it, leaving no files.

• PluginNpm.test.ts runs real plugin child processes from the installed files: install runs nothing until the digest is approved; tampered (integrity mismatch), unsafe, script-bearing and unbundled packages are refused and leave nothing behind; staged update keeps the old version running, applies with new consent, and the old digest is refused; rollback when the update fails after the swap; other management waits behind an apply; an update interrupted by a restart is finished or rolled back; file moves wait for a plugin whose disable was cut short; a home another installation now owns is kept; the reply, list, consent and running version agree whichever cleanup after the commit fails. A fault-injecting file system and deferreds order the steps; no sleeps.

• PluginNpmRpc.test.ts serves the five RPCs through the real scope middleware: a standard pairing lists but every mutation is refused with requiredScope: access:write and no handler runs; an administrative session reaches every handler; a session without orchestration:read cannot list.
• Recorded during development, on the parent: the npm and tarball test files cannot load, the three RPC scope tests fail, and the contracts npm test cannot load. With plugins.npm.add registered at orchestration:read, the denial test fails.
• vp run --filter typecheck for @t3tools/contracts and t3; vp lint --report-unused-disable-directives and vp fmt --check on the touched files (three warnings, all on unchanged lines of ws.ts, present on the parent); vp run knip:check; web build; vp run build:desktop; node scripts/release-smoke.ts. All pass.

Surfaces

• Entry points: none in the UI. Administrators use the plugins.npm.* requests; install and update buttons arrive with the management UI PR.
• Clients: web, desktop and mobile unchanged. An npm installation is an ordinary catalogue row to every client, including remove.
• Providers: not applicable; Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity and Pi are unaffected.
• Contracts: new pluginNpm.ts (records and inputs), five RPCs, optional pluginNpm environment capability, new open-string PluginCatalogError reasons. Old server: no capability, so clients do not call. New server + old client: new methods only; records ignore unknown fields.
• Reverse states: install ↔ plugins.remove (files deleted after the plugin stops); stage ↔ discard; apply rolls back on failure; a restart forgets a staged update.
• Connection modes: the RPCs add no transport and behave the same locally, over remote/relay and through the tunnel. The scope check is per session, so a remote standard pairing can list and cannot install. Downloads always happen on the server.
• Docs: new docs/user/plugin-npm.md: installing, what is checked, writing a package for T3 Code (bundle dependencies), the two-step update and its re-approval, removal. The management UI PR consolidates the plugin pages into one guide. No internals doc.

Not verified

• An update interrupted by a restart, rollback after a failed swap, the size, entry and path limits, links and .. paths, missing integrity, unbundled dependencies, a name or version mismatch, and a changed plugin id are shown by tests, not in the live trace.
• The live trace used a local registry, not the public npm registry. The remote pass used the tailnet (--share) with a scripted RPC client; no relay or T3 Connect tunnel run.
• No client calls the RPCs in this PR.
• No signature or provenance check; no registry authentication; no automatic update checks.
• npm.json publication by rename is atomic on the tested platform; fsync/power-loss durability and Windows rename semantics were not verified.
• Windows and Linux were not run; the colon refusal is checked by the parser test, not by an extraction on NTFS.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c6481

This change adds a large plugin platform with consent-gated npm installs and permission-checked actions. The remaining open items are low-severity: mixed-case action matching, documentation wording, a terminal worktree edge case, and loopback-only HTTP registry trust. It is mergeable once the owner confirms these follow-ups.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c6481

Administrator approval, integrity verification, permission checks, and stale-generation rejection constrain the new execution paths. Approved plugins nevertheless run with the server account’s operating-system privileges, and some browser-isolation and recovery guarantees remain only partly verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The supported execution exposure extends to resources reachable by the server’s operating-system account, not merely the selected thread or project. Administrative consent controls which code receives that trust; an operate-scoped connection can subsequently invoke its enabled actions. Target resolution is routing context, not operating-system isolation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Changing installed, approved, or enabled plugin code requires access:write; action and view calls require orchestration:operate. Catalogue invocation rejects revoked registrations and missing consent, checks the requested generation, and verifies consented bytes before starting a fresh process.
• observed — Panel annotation callbacks forward only to a sender with the same environment-qualified thread key. Plugin-view mounts bind RPC calls to the host-selected environment, installation, generation, and view; their connection listener accepts only the designated frame window and issues one message port.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — File promotion and deletion use catalogue-managed path claims that reject overlapping installations and wait for processes using those files to exit. Update settlement and cleanup are retried under the npm management lock, limiting consent/file drift during partial failures and competing management requests.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make the delegation policy explicit: an operate grant can invoke the full trusted effects of enabled plugin actions. If independently restricted users or tenants must share an environment, consider action-specific permissions and stronger execution isolation rather than relying on target identifiers as an authority boundary.

Full details: Approvability

Explanation

The pull request triggers the rule “Adds a subsystem or user workflow, or is a large refactor across apps or packages.” apps/server/src/plugins/PluginNpm.ts adds the npm install and staged-update workflow, which is wired through new RPCs and contracts. The reviewed diff spans desktop, mobile, server, web, client-runtime, and contracts: 243 files, with 32,988 insertions and 1,448 deletions. It also triggers “Adds or broadens a directive that disables or suppresses a lint, type-checker, LSP, or other static-analysis diagnostic”: apps/server/src/plugins/PluginNpm.ts:1 adds // @effect-diagnostics nodeBuiltinImport:off, and vite.config.ts adds pluginViewSessions.ts to a no-rpc-permission-bypass raw-client-access exception. The pull request needs a maintainer’s review before CodeRabbit approves it.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR adds a broad plugin execution and distribution platform spanning server persistence, authorization, supervised processes, npm supply-chain handling, MCP, and multiple clients. It also enables new product capabilities by default and adds static-analysis suppressions, so the scope and risk require human review.

4680-4693: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

pluginViews gets a new identity on every render, so the useMemo never reuses its result.

sidePanelPluginViews(...) runs on every render. If it filters or maps the array, it returns a new array each time. In that case pluginViewLaunchers is rebuilt on every render. The launchers are passed to both RightPanelTabs instances, so the memo has no effect. Put the selector call inside the memo, or memoize the raw views.

♻️ Proposed fix

-  const pluginViews = sidePanelPluginViews(
-    usePluginViews(activeThreadRef?.environmentId ?? null).views,
-  );
+  const rawPluginViews = usePluginViews(activeThreadRef?.environmentId ?? null).views;
+  const pluginViews = useMemo(() => sidePanelPluginViews(rawPluginViews), [rawPluginViews]);

Memoize the result of sidePanelPluginViews in the ChatView render flow so
pluginViews retains its identity when the raw views are unchanged; update
pluginViewLaunchers to depend on that stable result, preserving the existing

`action.name` is lowercased before matching `query`, consistent with the
existing `action.title` comparison.

Review comments at @apps/server/src/plugins/PluginNpm.ts:
- Around line 204-221: Update normalizeRegistry to allow HTTPS registries and
HTTP only for localhost, 127.0.0.1, and ::1, while retaining its existing URL
validation. Also reject metadata redirects that downgrade from HTTPS to HTTP in
the Fetch flow, without blocking HTTP tarballs whose integrity came from
authenticated HTTPS metadata.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSlashCommandSearch.ts:
- Around line 46-50: Update the `plugin-action` branch in
`searchSlashCommandItems` to lowercase `item.action.name` before scoring,
matching the normalization used by the other branches.

Review comments at @docs/user/plugin-npm.md:
- Around line 12-23: Update the `plugins.npm.add` registry documentation to
state that non-loopback HTTP registries do not authenticate package contents: a
network attacker can replace both the metadata integrity value and tarball, so
the digest check alone is insufficient. Preserve the existing HTTP/HTTPS
registry guidance.

32-39: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the underlying error as cause and build reason without raw error text.

PluginManifestError has no cause field. Every mapError in loadPluginDirectory throws away the underlying error. Line 105 also copies the schema decoder's error.message into reason. The catalogue saves that text as the installation problem and shows it to clients. The repository's Effect service rules say: "The message is fixed or built from those attributes, never from cause, cause.message, or a stringified defect." They also say: "An error that wraps a failure keeps the immediate underlying error as cause." Add an optional cause field. Pass the error at each wrapping site, and limit the length of the decode detail.

♻️ Proposed change

 class PluginManifestError extends Schema.TaggedError<PluginManifestError>()("PluginManifestError", {
   directory: Schema.String,
   reason: Schema.String,
+  cause: Schema.optional(Schema.Defect()),
 }) {

-  const fail = (reason: string) => new PluginManifestError({ directory, reason });
+  const fail = (reason: string, cause?: unknown) =>
+    new PluginManifestError({ directory, reason, ...(cause === undefined ? {} : { cause }) });

   const manifest = yield* decodeManifest(raw).pipe(
-    Effect.mapError((error) => fail(`${PLUGIN_MANIFEST_FILE} is invalid: ${error.message}`)),
+    Effect.mapError((error) =>
+      fail(`${PLUGIN_MANIFEST_FILE} is invalid: ${error.message.slice(0, 500)}`, error),

   );

Move handler instructions out of the user guide.

This handler registration recipe explains how to implement a plugin, rather than how to use an action. Move the authoring recipe to developer documentation. Keep this page focused on enabling, finding, and running actions. As per coding guidelines, “Keep user docs in the shipped product's voice, without implementation details or contributor tooling.”

environment, the plugin runs under the server process’s OS account rather than
the client’s OS user. Replace “as your OS user” with wording that identifies the
server account, while preserving the surrounding explanation that the action
does not write a prompt or start an agent turn.
