Picks up punktfunk#78. The headline fix there — the kit's read-only SQLite reader
never opening a database on Linux — does NOT affect this plugin: Heroic's library
is read from the JSON `store_cache`, not a database. The second fix does matter
here, because it is about this plugin's release gate: `parity --compare` set a
non-zero exit code and `runPluginCli` then overwrote it with 0, so a red parity
run always exited 0 and any scripted use of it passed.
The caret range already allowed 0.3.1, but bun.lock pinned 0.3.0 exactly.
Gates: biome clean, tsc clean, 7/7 tests, bundle builds.
⚠ Parity is NOT yet meaningful for this plugin: Heroic is installed on .21 but has
never been launched, so there is no store_cache and no library — both sides of the
comparison are empty and a green run would prove nothing. It needs a signed-in
Heroic before its v0.1.0 tag.
The host's in-tree Heroic scanner, lifted out into its own installable plugin
(design/library-scanner-plugins.md M5/WP5.2). One source covers all three of
Heroic's backends — legendary (Epic), gog, nile (Amazon) — because that is how
Heroic presents them and how the built-in scanner did.
The package is a config schema, a detect, a scan and a watchDirs. The store
claim, sync engine, __config surface, console registration and the
detect/scan/parity/uninstall CLI verbs all come from
@punktfunk/plugin-kit/library.
Claiming the `heroic` store keeps the entry ids the built-in scanner produced
(`heroic:<runner>:<appName>`), so GameStream app ids, Moonlight pins, cached art
and the operator's enabled/disabled state all survive the migration.
Ported behaviours worth naming, each covered by a test:
* a title counts as installed only if Heroic says so AND its install directory
still exists. The second check is the workaround for Heroic's GOG
is_installed bug (#2691), without which uninstalled games linger.
* only http(s) art is emitted. A sideloaded title can carry a local file://
path, which — unlike a path this plugin resolved itself — is not one the host
should proxy, and the client cannot fetch either. It degrades to the title
card, as in-host.
* both detect signals ride along: the install dir and the HEROIC_APP_NAME env
marker. Heroic hands off to legendary/gogdl/nile, so the host never sees the
game's own process any other way, and the env marker is what works under
Proton (verified on-glass 2026-07-27). They are a union, so a Heroic version
that stops setting it degrades rather than breaking.
The launch VALUE and the `heroic` launch kind are unchanged — the host still owns
turning `<runner>:<appName>` into a heroic://launch command, so this plugin never
constructs a command line.
Verified locally against the kit: tsc clean, biome clean, 5 tests, bundle builds,
CLI runs (detect -> absent, scan -> 0 games).
As with lutris: no lockfile and CI cannot be green until
@punktfunk/plugin-kit@0.3.0 is published. The parity gate has NOT been run — that
needs a box with Heroic installed.
