theseus/addons-host.js

// Theseus add-on framework — loader + API surface.
//
// Add-ons live in <userData>/addons/<id>/ as ordinary folders on disk. Each
// carries an `addon.json` manifest and (per the manifest's `main` field) a
// CommonJS entry that exports `activate(api)` and optionally `deactivate()`.
// Nothing about an add-on ships in the Theseus repo or installer — drop a
// folder, restart Theseus, it's live. This is the same trust model as
// dev-mode browser extensions: the user is choosing to run local code with
// the app's full privileges.
//
// Loading is synchronous at app-ready time; there is no hot-reload. Failed
// activations are logged and skipped without breaking the app.
//
// Persistence:
//   settings.disabledAddons  — ids the user has toggled off
//   <userData>/addons-data/<id>.json — per-add-on kv store (api.storage)

const path = require("node:path");

// Extension points the framework understands. Extending this list means also
// teaching main.js and (typically) the chrome renderer about the new point.
// Right now only sidebar panels are wired — future rev adds toolbar-chip,
// proxy, page-inject, etc.
const KNOWN_CAPABILITIES = new Set(["sidebar-panel"]);

// Manifest field guardrails. Reject anything shape-suspicious so a bad
// addon.json can't get past the loader gate.
