M3 of design/library-scanner-plugins-implementation-plan.md. Target shape: a
first-party scanner plugin is its parsers plus a scan function.
WP3.1 — a parsers module under the new ./library subpath, porting what the six
in-host scanners hand-rolled: text VDF/ACF, the BINARY shortcuts.vdf KeyValues
walker with its CRC-32 appid derivation and the 64-bit rungameid composition,
read-only SQLite (bun:sqlite, immutable=1 so a scan can never take a lock or
spawn WAL sidecars next to a launcher's live database), a reg.exe wrapper,
capped readers, the path-confinement join that keeps a crafted goggame-*.info
from pointing a launch at an arbitrary program, Steam root/library discovery,
art location helpers, and a fetch helper carrying the host's no-redirect
anti-SSRF posture. Every parser is total: a missing launcher or a truncated file
degrades to "no titles", never to a throw.
Two deliberate departures from the Rust originals, both about the Windows
runner's account: steam root discovery now also reads HKLM Valve\Steam
InstallPath (a non-default install dir was previously uncovered), and the
registry wrapper refuses HKCU outright — as LocalService that is not the
operator's hive, so reading it would silently look like "not installed".
WP3.2 — GET/PUT /__config on the kit's UI server, so a plugin with settings does
not ship an SPA (closes G8). GET answers {schema, value}: the derived JSON Schema
and the raw operator-authored config. PUT validates by decoding and only then
persists RAW, so defaults are never baked into the file. The handler is split out
as makeConfigHandler and driven directly in tests.
WP3.3 — defineLibraryPlugin wires SyncEngine (poll + fs-watch + debounce), the
store-claiming reconcile, launcher entries appended to every sync, a UI server
serving only __config under category "library" (which keeps six installed
scanners out of the console nav), and the standard detect/scan/uninstall CLI
verbs. It warns ONCE when a pre-M2 host silently ignores the store claim — that
degradation is otherwise invisible except as duplicated titles.
M0/S2 is recorded here as a committed fixture rather than prose. Two findings the
original spike missed because deriving a schema does not exercise it:
withDecodingDefaultKey takes an Effect, not a thunk — a thunk type-checks, derives
fine, and dies at decode time; and a checked schema (Schema.Int) nests its
annotations under allOf, so a form must merge those branches. Both are pinned.
plugin-kit: version 0.3.0, tsc clean, 46 tests pass (16 ported parser tests, 10
config/derivation). Publishing (WP3.4) is deferred — it needs a tag and a push.
