# Mission Core Plugin SDK
This directory owns the versioned host/plugin contract. The v1alpha frontend
contract, validated registry, generic runtime envelope, and backend read-only
catalog are implemented in-tree, but this is not yet a separately published
SDK package.
The v1alpha1 contract currently validates one model per plugin, one reviewed
`transitional-in-process` backend entrypoint, a required safe `state.read`
action, and declared UI/action metadata. It establishes:
- plugin manifest, version compatibility, firmware profiles, and declarative
permissions;
- discovery candidates and opaque device references;
- provisioning requests using secret references;
- device-session lifecycle and health;
- EvidenceStore handles and raw-artifact lineage;
- canonical PointCloud, Pose, DeviceStatus, and metrics envelopes;
- SceneSink and event interfaces;
- capability-driven UI contribution data without plugin-owned layout.
The XGRIDS K1 extraction is the first real-device acceptance path. Synthetic
multi-plugin composition tests verify that backend routing has no K1 identity or
protocol assumption; static boundary tests enforce the same rule in the frontend.
Current implementation references:
- `apps/control-station/src/core/device-plugins/` — TypeScript manifest and UI
contribution contracts;
- `apps/control-station/src/core/runtime/` — normalized runtime envelope;
- `src/k1link/web/plugin_catalog.py` — strict backend manifest validation;
- `src/k1link/web/plugin_runtime.py` — host-owned allowlisted action dispatcher;
- `src/k1link/web/device_plugin_composition.py` — manifest factory loader and
startup parity check between catalog and executable adapters;
- `docs/adr/0003-device-plugin-ui-and-runtime-boundary.md` — accepted boundary
and extraction sequence.
The v1alpha lifecycle is fail-closed: inactive provider shells must perform no
I/O, events are scoped by plugin ID, and selection cannot change until the
active plugin confirms teardown. Process isolation and independent device
session IDs remain the next SDK milestone. `permissions`, `mutating`, and
`secretFields` are contract metadata only in v1alpha1; host authorization and
secret-vault enforcement are not implemented yet.
