Four elements shipped with this broken and nothing could see it, because every
existing gate loads a composite on its OWN generated leaf — and that leaf bakes a
token and assigns window.MAP_TOKEN, supplying the very thing under test. The
failure exists only where there is no leaf: the partner page the published embed
snippet is written for.
The gate serves the built tree on one free port and a partner page on another, so
CORS is exercised rather than assumed, and asserts per composite:
tk given only {"tk": <the token this tree bakes>}, a canvas appears and
api.mapbox.com actually serves it
provider given only {"provider":"maplibre"} and NO token, a canvas appears and
there are ZERO requests to api.mapbox.com
Zero is the assertion, not "it rendered": a build that quietly fell back to
mapbox with a baked key renders perfectly and is exactly the regression this
exists to catch.
★ IT FAILS ONLY WHERE THE EVIDENCE POINTS AT THE KNOB. The first draft failed
NINE composites for "no map canvas under a minimal config" — an accusation it had
not measured, since several of those elements simply need a `profile` key to
choose which profile to show. It now distinguishes: a token WAS supplied and the
element still says there is none, or maplibre was asked for and mapbox tiles
still loaded — those are findings. No canvas and no complaint is UNMEASURED, and
says so with the reason. A gate that red-lights other people's plugins over a
claim it cannot support is worse than no gate.
COST, because a slow gate stops being run: a flat 14s-per-case wait became a poll
for the canvas, and the provider case short-circuits when that element's tk case
drew no map — there is nothing to compare against, so a second page load was pure
waste. 5m38 -> 3m15.
GREEN on the landed tree: dashboard-plus-grid, research-map-plus-grid, stack-demo
and plugin-studio all pass both knobs, every provider case at ZERO api.mapbox.com
requests. plugin-studio only reached zero once the cap-5 shell started setting
window.MAP_PROVIDER — profile-config alone reaches the child a composite writes
config for, while the global rung reaches a map nested at any depth, which the
studio-inside-SPA-inside-composite chain needed.
gates:post is 44 steps; the quoted CLI doc is updated to match.

dx-maps — one build, maps that embed everywhere
Write a map once in plugin-designs/<your-map>/, run one build, and drop it on any site —
iframe, script embed, mobile app — or open every map at once as one app. Five plugin
capabilities, five deployment methods, one shared library, one build.
| What dx-maps set out to do | Proof |
|---|---|
| One build → one folder you can drop on any host | bun run check:drop |
| Every map embeddable from a copy-paste snippet | deployment methods · bun run check:embed-targets |
| Every map interoperable through props and events | bun run verify:interop |
| One app nests every map — and each stays embeddable on its own | capability 5 · bun run check:composite-reg |
| 5 capabilities × 5 deployment methods | bun run verify:5-caps |
| Shared library, private plugins — reuse without breaking each other | bun run check:library-index |
Many agents, one green main |
agent swarm |
The 5 plugin capabilities
A capability is how much a plugin nests, from one element (1) to an app of apps (5). Every screenshot is a real bundle from this repo's build.
Capability 5 — app shell: the Research Gallery
One plugin, one element (<doxa-maps-spa>), and every tab inside it is a real plugin from a lower
tier that you can still embed on its own. plugin-designs/doxa-maps-spa/
What the Research Gallery is made of — all five capabilities in one plugin
Research Gallery <doxa-maps-spa> capability 5
├─ Dashboards

Capability 4 — composite: plugins wired together

Capability 1 — single element

The 5 deployment methods
1. iframe — the prayer map on any site ✅ production
One <iframe> tag, no build step. Copy the embed.iframe snippet from manifest.json.
2. Mobile app — Simple Research on a phone ✅ built
The Simple Research dashboard (research map + people-groups grid), shipped on its own as a
Capacitor app. bun run check:mobile · bun run phone (needs Android SDK + JDK 17)

3. JavaScript embed — the Research Gallery on dx-life ✅ production
The whole capability-5 app on the dx-life research page, from one <script src> and one element —
replacing the separate research map, list and regions dashboards the page used to carry. Copy the
embed.script snippet (SRI-pinned) from manifest.json.
4. WordPress / Disciple Tools plugin — 🧪 proof of concept
A shortcode + block plugin in deployment/wordpress/; its contract test passes
(bun run check:wp-embed). Proven, not production-ready.
5. Desktop app (Tauri) — 🧪 proof of concept
A desktop binary and .deb build from deployment/src-tauri/ (bun run check:tauri). Proven,
not production-ready.
Mapbox token: the dev server bakes one in; built pages take
?tk=pk.…, a pasted token, or a token endpoint. Or skip Mapbox entirely:provider: "maplibre"on any instance renders on MapLibre with no key. Every command and prerequisite: documentation/README-SECTION-3-cli-commands.md.
Build it with an agent swarm
Trunk-based development with a merge queue — the model behind GitHub's merge queue and GitLab's
merge trains. Many agents build in parallel, each in its own worktree; changes land on main one
at a time, rebased and gated, so main stays green.
# one worktree + one agent per plugin
git worktree add -b regions/work ../dx-maps-regions main
git worktree add -b upg100/work ../dx-maps-upg100 main
# one dev server per agent, each on its own port
bun x vite --port 5301 --strictPort
# land through the queue: one at a time, rebased, gated
flock /tmp/dx-maps-main.lock sh -c '
git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main &&
bun run gates:pre && git push origin HEAD:main'
One agent owns the full build (it wipes the shared output first); everyone else checks their own
bundle with BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build. A maintainer reviews what lands and keeps shared
code shared. Agents joining this repo: read AGENT-BRIEF.md.

The Plugin Studio — ★ where you work
Every plugin in one place, sorted by capability. Pick any plugin to run it live, see what it is composed of, and copy its embed code. Tell your agent which plugins to group, and it composes them into a higher-capability plugin with props, events and a layout — that is how the Research Gallery was built. (The studio is being redesigned; this screenshot tracks it.)
Get it running
You need git, Bun and Node ≥ 18.
git clone https://git.nuxtbase.app/doxa-life/doxa-maps.git
cd doxa-maps
bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run dev # → http://localhost:5173/ is the Plugin Studio
No build needed first — the built tree is committed. To start a plugin, copy
plugin-designs/template-bundle/ to plugin-designs/<your-map>/; the studio finds it automatically.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
bun run dev |
The Plugin Studio, hot-reloading, at http://localhost:5173 |
BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build |
Build one bundle only |
BUILD_ALLOW=1 bun run build |
The full deployable tree in public/doxa-maps/ (~4 min; refuses without the flag, to protect a shared tree) |
bun run serve |
Serve the built tree at http://localhost:4173 |
bun run check:settled |
Exit 0 = the built tree is safe to measure right now |
bun run gates:pre · bun run gates:post |

Maps should be open source, run everywhere, and multiply. One build makes each map a self-contained file for your site, your partners' sites and a phone. The Plugin Studio is where you compose them into something bigger.
