@STATUS ACCEPTED
@BRIEF Define the implemented plugin discovery and execution boundary.

@RATIONALE The repository already contains first-party plugins that share the application runtime, configuration, database access patterns, and async Task Manager. The executable contract is PluginBase, not an unimplemented manifest or subprocess protocol.
@REJECTED plugin.toml manifests and a mandatory subprocess executor — rejected as the current architecture because neither is the runtime contract implemented by the repository.
@REJECTED Treating dynamic discovery as a sandbox — rejected because imported plugin code runs in the backend process and has the same process privileges.
Decision
First-party plugins live in backend/src/plugins/. PluginLoader discovers Python
modules and package __init__.py files in that directory, imports them under the
src.plugins package, instantiates subclasses of PluginBase, and exposes their
validated PluginConfig metadata.
Every discoverable plugin must implement the abstract PluginBase contract:
- stable
id,name,description, andversionproperties; get_schema()returning an input schema;- asynchronous
execute(params); - optional
ui_routeand a permission derived fromrequired_permission.
Plugins are trusted, versioned source in this repository. They are not third-party sandboxed extensions. A future marketplace or untrusted-plugin feature requires a new ADR that specifies its isolation, permission, resource, and failure model.
Consequences
- Plugin failures during discovery are logged and do not stop discovery of other modules, but execution remains subject to normal backend failure handling.
- Plugin dependencies must be compatible with the backend runtime.
- Adding a plugin requires tests for discovery and its public execution contract;
it does not require a
plugin.tomlmanifest.
