The framework half of this plugin (engine lifecycle, config/state, host
reconcile, UI server, CLI) was ~80% identical to rom-manager's. That code is
now @punktfunk/plugin-kit; this replaces the local copy with it and adopts the
rom-manager blueprint layout.
contract/ Effect Schemas: the cross-process export contract (the C#
exporter's other half, with the schema-version guard as a decode
check), the config schema (one schema, Encoded = authored file
shape, defaults only via withDecodingDefaultKey), domain DTOs, the
HttpApi contract, API errors.
plugin/ src/domain = the pure core (locate/read, art, reconcile), ported
tests green before any Effect wiring; src/services = the kit's
ConfigService/CacheStore/SyncEngine/ProviderClient; definePluginKit
entry, kit CLI, auth-free dev API.
Preserved, because they are what makes playnite work at all: the ingest inbox
is still read FIRST (the de-privileged LocalService runner cannot reach the
interactive user's %APPDATA%), the host/dataurl/off art modes, and the
playnite:// launch hand-back. The C# exporter is untouched.
New: per-game include/exclude overrides, and an allow-listed /api/art proxy so
the SPA can render local Playnite covers — it serves only paths the currently
ingested export references.
Dropped: the standalone password UI server (console surface + CLI only, as in
rom-manager 0.3.0) and the devEntry flag.
Trap found and fixed here: the HttpApi encoder serialises `undefined` as
`null`, so a `Schema.optional` field the server omits cannot be decoded by the
client — silently in the SSE feed, loudly in the typed client. Every optional
EngineStatus field is `Schema.NullOr` with an explicit value on the wire.
The host plugin runner is de-privileged now (LocalService) and can't read the
interactive user's %APPDATA%\Playnite\ExtensionsData — so it never saw the
export. Bridge it through the host's user-writable ingest inbox:
- exporter (C#): also drop punktfunk-library.json into
%ProgramData%\punktfunk\ingest\playnite (best-effort, only when a punktfunk
host is present), alongside its ExtensionsData home.
- plugin (TS): locateExport() reads <config_dir>/ingest/playnite first, then
falls back to the ExtensionsData scan (same-user/SYSTEM runner, Linux). The
watcher also watches the inbox so a drop reconciles within seconds.

A two-part Punktfunk plugin that syncs the Playnite library into the host
game library as the `playnite` provider:
- exporter/ — a minimal C# Playnite GenericPlugin ("Punktfunk Sync") that
writes punktfunk-library.json on every library change. Reading Playnite's
live-locked LiteDB from outside isn't robust, so this adapter runs inside
Playnite. Builds net462 via reference assemblies; packaged as a .pext.
- src/ — the TS plugin (on @punktfunk/host, rom-manager shape): watches the
export, embeds covers as data URLs, reconciles via
PUT /library/provider/playnite, with a console-hosted web UI + standalone
fallback + CLI. Launch = playnite://playnite/start/<id>, run by the host
in the interactive session so Playnite performs the real launch.
Verified locally: backend tsc + 23 tests + biome clean, SPA build, C#
exporter build + .pext pack.
