wizardchen 3dc1470299 feat(plugin): sandboxed plugin pages and the @weknora/plugin-ui bridge
Plugins can add pages to the app. Each is an HTML entry under ui/ in the
package:

| Point              | Shown as                      | Default minRole |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------- | --------------- |
| `pages`            | toolbox tabs                  | viewer          |
| `settingsSections` | a section under Plugins in settings | admin     |
| `kbTabs`           | a tab on each knowledge base (gets knowledgeBaseId) | viewer |

Declarative plugins may have pages too.

Isolation:
- A page runs in `<iframe sandbox="allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups
  allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox">` without allow-same-origin, so it has an
  opaque origin and cannot read the app's storage.
- Its files come from /api/v1/plugin-ui/assets/{id}/{version}/ui/...
  (served without login, only files under ui/ of the loaded version).
- They carry a CSP with connect-src 'none', so the page cannot reach the
  network.

Bridge:
- The page talks to the app only over postMessage: `api.request`,
  `ui.toast`, `ui.confirm`, `ui.navigate`, `ui.resize`, `ui.close`.
- The app answers only its frame's window, rate-limited, and validates
  paths and sizes.
- It sends init (plugin, mount, locale, role, theme tokens, context) and
  theme/locale changes.
- api.request goes to POST /api/v1/plugins/:id/ui-request. The app checks
  the workspace has the plugin on and the caller meets the page's minRole
  (same rules as the route guards), then calls the plugin's new
  /v1/ui/request endpoint with the caller's role.

SDKs:
- Go: `p.UI` and `UIJSON`.
- Python: `@plugin.ui` and `UIResponse`.
- Both list "ui" in their manifest; conformance checks the endpoint; the
  OpenAPI spec documents it.
- packages/plugin-ui is the page side: a dependency-free ES module with
  types that connects, applies the theme as --wk-* CSS variables and keeps
  the frame sized.

Also:
- Fix the Python SDK reading Go timestamps with fewer than 6 fraction
  digits on Python < 3.11. Key-value entries tripped on it.
- examples/plugins/links: a Python plugin with all three kinds of page,
  storing links in the Host API key-value store.

@weknora/plugin-ui

The page side of the bridge between a WeKnora plugin's pages and the app. It has no dependencies and needs no build step.

WeKnora shows a plugin page in a sandboxed iframe:

  • The page has an opaque origin, so it cannot read the app's storage.
  • A CSP (connect-src 'none') stops it reaching the network.

Everything else goes through this bridge.

import { connect } from './weknora-plugin-ui.js'

const wk = await connect()
wk.context.mount        // "pages/links"
wk.context.context      // what the mount passes, e.g. { knowledgeBaseId }
const { body } = await wk.get('/links')        // the plugin's UI handler answers
await wk.put('/links', [...body, { url }])
await wk.toast('Saved', 'success')
if (await wk.confirm('Remove it?')) { /* … */ }
wk.navigate('/platform/knowledge-bases')

Ship index.js inside the plugin package, for example as ui/weknora-plugin-ui.js, and load your page script with <script type="module">.

What a page can do

Call Does
request(method, path, body), get, post, put, delete Calls the plugin's own backend: the UI handler of the Go or Python SDK. Resolves {status, body}; non-2xx rejects unless { throwOnError: false }.
toast(message, theme) A toast in the app: info, success, warning or error.
confirm(message, title?) A confirmation dialog; resolves true or false.
navigate(path) Opens a page of the app.
resize(height) Sets the frame height. connect() does this automatically unless autoResize: false.
close() Closes the page, where the mount allows it.
on('theme' | 'locale' | 'init', fn) Theme or language changed, or the mount's context changed (another knowledge base).

connect() applies the app's theme:

  • data-theme="light|dark" on <html>.
  • Design tokens as CSS variables, such as --wk-brand-color, --wk-text-color-primary, --wk-bg-color-container and --wk-component-border.

Where pages appear

Declare pages in plugin.yaml with an entry under ui/:

Point Shown Default minRole
pages A tab of the toolbox viewer
settingsSections A section of the settings dialog, under Plugins admin
kbTabs A tab on each knowledge base; context.knowledgeBaseId viewer

WeKnora checks minRole again on each request a page makes. It also passes the caller's role to the plugin, so the backend can refuse anything finer-grained.

See examples/plugins/links for a plugin with all three.
