## Why
Marketplace source deserialization treated `{"source":"npm", ...}` as
unsupported. The loader logged and skipped the entry, so npm-backed
plugins never appeared in `plugin list --available` and `plugin add`
returned "plugin not found".
Codex plugins are installed from a plugin root, not from an npm
dependency tree. For npm-backed marketplace entries, Codex should fetch
the published package contents without running package scripts or
installing unrelated dependencies.
## What changed
- Add `npm` marketplace plugin sources with `package`, optional semver
`version` or version range, and optional HTTPS `registry`.
- Reject unsafe npm source fields before materialization, including
invalid package names, non-semver version selectors, plaintext or
credential-bearing registry URLs, and registry query/fragment data.
- Materialize npm plugins with `npm pack --ignore-scripts`, then unpack
the resulting tarball through the existing hardened plugin bundle
extractor.
- Enforce npm archive and extracted-size limits, require the standard
npm `package/` archive root, and verify the extracted `package.json`
name matches the requested package before installing.
- Keep plugin listings, install-source descriptions, CLI JSON/human
output, app-server v2 `PluginSource`, TUI source summaries, regenerated
schema fixtures, and app-server documentation in sync.
## Impact
Marketplaces can distribute Codex plugins from public or configured
private HTTPS npm registries using the same install flow as existing
materialized plugin sources. `npm` must be available on `PATH` when an
npm-backed plugin is installed.
Fixes#27831
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server -p codex-cli`
- npm/schema/core-plugin coverage passed in the run.
- The full focused command finished with `1739 passed`, `11 failed`, and
`6 timed out`; the failures were unrelated local app-server environment
failures from `sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`
plus one missing `test_stdio_server` helper binary.
- Installed an npm-published Codex plugin package through a throwaway
local marketplace and throwaway `CODEX_HOME` to exercise the real npm
materialization path end to end.
Adds additive dark-mode plugin logo metadata across manifests, remote
catalogs, and the app-server protocol while keeping uninstalled Git
listings free of synthetic local paths.
Supersedes #28945. This replacement uses an upstream branch so trusted
CI can use the repository-provided remote Bazel configuration.
## Current state
Plugin interfaces expose only the default logo asset. Clients therefore
cannot select a dedicated dark-mode logo even when a plugin provides
one.
## What this PR changes
- Adds nullable `logoDark` and `logoUrlDark` fields to
`PluginInterface`.
- Resolves local `interface.logoDark` assets and maps remote
`logo_url_dark` values.
- Removes path-backed interface assets, including `logoDark`, from
uninstalled Git fallback listings until the plugin has a real local
root.
- Updates the bundled plugin validator and manifest reference.
- Regenerates the app-server JSON schemas and TypeScript types.
Local manifests expose `interface.logoDark` as a package-relative asset
path. Remote catalog responses expose `logo_url_dark`. These values map
into separate app-server fields so clients can preserve local-path and
remote-URL handling.
## Risk
The fields are additive and nullable, so existing clients retain their
current logo behavior. The main risks are an incomplete mapping path or
exposing a synthetic local path for an uninstalled Git plugin.
Local-manifest, remote-catalog, fallback-listing, protocol
serialization, and app-server integration tests cover those paths.
Spiciness: 2/5
## Testing
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- Regression test first failed with `logo_dark` resolved to
`/assets/logo-dark.png`, then passed after the fallback-listing fix.
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` (267 tests passed)
- `just test -p codex-app-server 'suite::v2::plugin'` (114 tests passed)
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core-plugins -p
codex-plugin -p codex-skills` (517 tests passed before the follow-up)
- `just test -p codex-tui plugin` (47 tests passed)
- Validated a local plugin manifest containing `interface.logoDark` with
the bundled validator.
## Manual verification
Create a local plugin with both `interface.logo` and
`interface.logoDark`, then call `plugin/list` or `plugin/read`. Confirm
the response contains separate `logo` and `logoDark` paths. For a remote
catalog entry, confirm `logoUrlDark` is populated from `logo_url_dark`.
For an uninstalled Git marketplace entry, confirm path-backed interface
assets remain absent until installation.
Issue: N/A - coordinated maintainer change.
- Adds localVersion to plugin summaries and remoteVersion to share
context, including generated API schemas.
- Hydrates local and remote plugin versions from manifests and remote
release metadata.
- Adds default-on plugin_sharing gate for shared-with-me listing and
plugin/share/save, with disabled-path errors
and focused coverage.
Makes plugin summaries use config-style plugin@marketplace IDs while
exposing backend remote IDs separately as remotePluginId.
Also fix the consistency issue of REMOTE_SHARED_WITH_ME_MARKETPLACE_NAME
Expose discoverability and full share principals in share context, carry
roles through save/updateTargets, hydrate local shared plugin reads, and
keep share URLs only under plugin.shareContext.
Adds marketplaceKinds to plugin/list for local, workspace-directory, and
shared-with-me; omitted params keep default local plus gated global
behavior, while explicit kinds are exact.
Exposes shareContext on plugin summaries from local share mappings and
remote workspace/shared responses, including remotePluginId and nullable
creator metadata.
Adds shared-with-me listing through /ps/plugins/workspace/shared,
renames the workspace remote namespace to workspace-directory, and keeps
direct remote read/share/install/update/delete paths gated by plugins
rather than remote_plugin.
## Summary
- Add plugin manifest keywords to core plugin marketplace/detail models
- Expose keywords on app-server v2 PluginSummary and generated
schema/types
- Populate keywords in plugin/list and plugin/read responses for local
plugins

## Summary
Remote plugin-service returns plugin availability separately from a
user's installed/enabled state. This adds `PluginAvailabilityStatus` to
the app-server protocol, propagates remote catalog `status` into
`PluginSummary`, and rejects install attempts for remote plugins marked
`DISABLED_BY_ADMIN` before downloading or caching the bundle.

## Summary
Update the plugin API for the new remote plugin model.
The mental model is no longer “keep local plugin state in sync with
remote.” Instead, local and remote plugins are becoming separate
sources. Remote catalog entries can be shown directly from the remote
API before installation; after installation they are still downloaded
into the local cache for execution, but remote installed state will come
from the API and be held in memory rather than being read from config.
• ## API changes
- Remove `forceRemoteSync` from `plugin/list`, `plugin/install`, and
`plugin/uninstall`.
- Remove `remoteSyncError` from `plugin/list`.
- Add remote-capable metadata to `plugin/list` / `plugin/read`:
- nullable `marketplaces[].path`
- `source: { type: "remote", downloadUrl }`
- URL asset fields alongside local path fields:
`composerIconUrl`, `logoUrl`, `screenshotUrls`
- Make `plugin/read` and `plugin/install` source-compatible:
- `marketplacePath?: AbsolutePathBuf | null`
- `remoteMarketplaceName?: string | null`
- exactly one source is required at runtime
## Summary
- add first-class marketplace support for git-backed plugin sources
- keep the newer marketplace parsing behavior from `main`, including
alternate manifest locations and string local sources
- materialize remote plugin sources during install, detail reads, and
non-curated cache refresh
- expose git plugin source metadata through the app-server protocol
## Details
This teaches the marketplace parser to accept all of the following:
- local string sources such as `"source": "./plugins/foo"`
- local object sources such as
`{"source":"local","path":"./plugins/foo"}`
- remote repo-root sources such as
`{"source":"url","url":"https://github.com/org/repo.git"}`
- remote subdir sources such as
`{"source":"git-subdir","url":"owner/repo","path":"plugins/foo","ref":"main","sha":"..."}`
It also preserves the newer tolerant behavior from `main`: invalid or
unsupported plugin entries are skipped instead of breaking the whole
marketplace.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core plugins::marketplace::tests`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Notes
- A full `cargo test -p codex-core` run still hit unrelated existing
failures in agent and multi-agent tests during this session; the
marketplace-focused suite passed after the rebase resolution.
make plugins' `defaultPrompt` an array, but keep backcompat for strings.
the array is limited by app-server to 3 entries of up to 128 chars
(drops extra entries, `None`s-out ones that are too long) without
erroring if those invariants are violating.
added tests, tested locally.
make `AVAILABLE` the default plugin installPolicy when unset in
`marketplace.json`. similarly, make `ON_INSTALL` the default authPolicy.
this means, when unset, plugins are available to be installed (but not
auto-installed), and the contained connectors will be authed at
install-time.
updated tests.
wire plugin marketplace metadata through app-server endpoints:
- `plugin/list` has `installPolicy` and `authPolicy`
- `plugin/install` has plugin-level `authPolicy`
`plugin/install` also now enforces `NOT_AVAILABLE` `installPolicy` when
installing.
added tests.
1. Add a synced curated plugin marketplace and include it in marketplace
discovery.
2. Expose optional plugin.json interface metadata in plugin/list
3. Tighten plugin and marketplace path handling using validated absolute
paths.
4. Let manifests override skill, MCP, and app config paths.
5. Restrict plugin enablement/config loading to the user config layer so
plugin enablement is at global level
