A copy of the starter built but never appeared in the Studio, which lists a plugin only when it has a meta.json or an instances.json. The template itself stays off the Studio by its folder NAME (generate-tree SCAFFOLD_BUNDLES, discover.mjs), not by a flag a copy would inherit. The README's copy steps now name the meta.json beside each .vue.
Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is
defineCustomElement(ProfileLoader, { configureApp }), and the configureApp has four
steps. The fourth, app.provide('appI18n', i18n), is the one that gets dropped.
ProfileLoader injects that instance (ProfileLoader.vue:176) to drive its locale from
profile-config. Without the provide the watcher holds null and the drive NEVER RUNS --
while setRuntimeLocale() on the next line still fires, so tStatic strings DO follow the
host. The element renders a convincing MIXTURE of the reader's language and English, and
nothing throws, because the t() shim falls back to its key. It reads as "a few strings
not translated yet".
SHIPPING THAT TODAY: country-posters, key-cities, gospel-resources, cities-internet and
my-upg-100-list. regions-plugin censused all 19 entry files independently and found the
same five and no sixth. The measurement is regions-dashboard's, from when they hit it:
a Spanish catalogue present, es set, and every t() string still English.
All sixteen entries now call library/elements/defineMapElement.js, so the five are fixed
by construction rather than by five separate edits. Behaviour is otherwise identical --
same options, same element names, same per-plugin extras. wall-of-people-groups needed
the helper to hand its pinia back, because it takes a store off its own instance and a
helper that hid pinia would have given it a second one: two stores and a silent state
split.
★ AND THE CENSUS THAT RECOMMENDED THIS SAW FOUR OF SIXTEEN. My detector hashed function
BODIES; eleven sites are not `function buildXElement()` at all, they are
`const El = defineCustomElement(...)`. I wrote "every number here is a lower bound" in
the census as a caveat and it was the headline within the hour -- a 4x undercount of the
item it recommended. So this gate greps for the SHAPE, not for a known list: a check
written around the four that matched would have passed the twelve that did not.
check-element-bootstrap has two arms. No entry may build a profile element by hand, and
the helper itself must provide appI18n -- PLANTED as a negative case, so the regression
cannot return by editing library instead of a plugin. It also fails if it finds fewer
than ten entries, because a detection that stops matching reports the same green as a
tree with no problems.
THE PLANT CAUGHT TWO BUGS IN THIS GATE BEFORE IT CAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. The predicate
matched the helper's DOCSTRING, so it would have passed a helper that only mentions the
provide in prose -- comments are stripped now, because a check that reads comments is
reading the author's intentions rather than the program. And the plant itself used /m
instead of /gm, so it deleted the documentation and left the code, then reported that it
could not detect an absence that was not there.
A new writer's first copy used to draw a coloured box. template-map-a.vue now
draws the points in data/places.geojson on a basemap with one translated title,
through the library's own pieces (useMapInstance, resolveMapProvider, labelFont,
emissivePaint). It follows the page's engine, locale (right-to-left included) and
token, and with no token it runs on keyless MapLibre, so it works with no account.
template-map-b.vue stays as the second-screen example, so the README, the tutorial
and the plugin-designer skill (rename a, delete b) stay true. The README gains the
map's pieces table and the dx-maps paths.
Library change: library/i18n/locales/<11>/template.json (key template.title) is
eagerly globbed into every bundle, so consumers need rebuilding (rule 5B).
Moved out (kept outside the repo, in the team's internal tracker):
- AGENT-BRIEF.md: operating rules for the team's own agents
- documentation/slide-deck-outline.md, documentation/README-longform.md:
internal pitch material; the README and why.md cover the same ground
- plugin-designs/gospel-resources/SOURCES-CHECKED-AND-REJECTED.md: research log
- .claude/ (an editor status line), .forgejo/ (a CI workflow that never ran),
_archive/ (a retired staging page; already gitignored but still tracked)
Seven code comments that named these files now describe the rule instead.
Fixed five dead links left from the docs/ -> documentation/ move, including
the one in template-bundle that every new plugin inherits.
The delegation diagram now shows the whole model: the Plugin Studio with the
shared library and the merge queue into main, seven production plugins with
capability badges and the Experimental shelf, one agent per plugin (a roaming
agent for the shelf), the shepherd's oversight ring, a legend, and the five
ways a build ships.
Driver 2026-09-21: 'a folder called deployment which will store the capacitor
folder, wordpress folder and tauri folder', and 'a folder called documentation
to store the contributing folder so docs are in one place'.
docs/ + contributing/ + CONTRIBUTING.md -> documentation/ (three doc homes into
one). capacitor/ + wordpress/ + src-tauri/ -> deployment/.
The public/ -> dist/ rename the Driver asked about is NOT here: after seeing the
measured blast radius (855 tracked files, 54 source refs, and public/ is the
served web-root four consumers point at) the Driver withdrew it - 'keep the
public folder the same'.
Path references were rewritten mechanically (258 across 87 files), but three
classes needed hand fixes because a prefix regex cannot see them:
- join(ROOT,'docs',...) in 10 internal scripts - a quoted SEGMENT, not a prefix
- tauri frontendDist '../public' -> '../../public', since src-tauri is now one
level deeper; check:tauri caught this exactly as the card predicted
- the WordPress contract test's dirname(__DIR__,2) -> 3, same reason
Also reverted one over-reach: the rewrite renamed a FINDING-CATEGORY label
'docs' in public-hygiene-check.mjs, which is a rule name in its own header, not
a path.
Verified: full build ALL GUARDS PASS, SRI consistent; check:tauri, check:mobile
(cap sync + webDir OK), check:wp-embed, quoted-scripts, capability-citations,
capability-exemplars, library-index, public-hygiene, parse and drop all pass.
A previous sweep found six dark matches, correctly ruled five of them unreachable, and
fixed the one real violation in doxa-simple-map. Re-running it with a luminance test
rather than a hex prefix found more, because the earlier pattern also matched the green
accent #10b981 and so buried the genuine surfaces in noise.
Three further unconditional violations, all the same shape as the one already fixed: the
loading overlays in all-people-groups, country-posters and doxa-research-map each render
on every load via v-if="!appReady", so a near-black flash was the first thing a visitor
saw. All four now use the palette surface with muted text.
The template-bundle starter was also dark in both profiles. That one matters more than a
leaf: the documented recipe is to copy template-bundle and rename it, so every future
plugin would have inherited a surface the house style forbids. The two profiles stay
visibly distinct — a tinted surface with an accent border, b white with a neutral one.
Verified by reading the shipped rule out of each built bundle: 4 of 4 found, all
#f3f3f1 at luminance 243. The found-count is reported so a run that matches nothing
cannot read as a pass — an earlier version of that check found zero rules and printed
ALL LIGHT.
