The reference printing-shop plug-in now actually does something: its main class registers two HTTP endpoints during start(context), and a real curl to /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/ping returns the JSON the plug-in's lambda produced. End-to-end smoke test 10/10 green. This is the chunk that turns vibe_erp from "an ERP app that has a plug-in folder" into "an ERP framework whose plug-ins can serve traffic". What landed: * api.v1 — additive (binary-compatible per the api.v1 stability rule): - org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.HttpMethod (enum) - org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.PluginRequest (path params, query, body) - org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.PluginResponse (status + body) - org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.PluginEndpointHandler (fun interface) - org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.PluginEndpointRegistrar (per-plugin scoped, register(method, path, handler)) - PluginContext.endpoints getter with default impl that throws UnsupportedOperationException so the addition is binary-compatible with plug-ins compiled against earlier api.v1 builds. * platform-plugins — three new files: - PluginEndpointRegistry: process-wide registration storage. Uses Spring's AntPathMatcher so {var} extracts path variables. Synchronized mutation. Exact-match fast path before pattern loop. Rejects duplicate (method, path) per plug-in. unregisterAll(plugin) on shutdown. - ScopedPluginEndpointRegistrar: per-plugin wrapper that tags every register() call with the right plugin id. Plug-ins cannot register under another plug-in's namespace. - PluginEndpointDispatcher: single Spring @RestController at /api/v1/plugins/{pluginId}/** that catches GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE, asks the registry for a match, builds a PluginRequest, calls the handler, serializes the response. 404 on no match, 500 on handler throw (logged with stack trace). - DefaultPluginContext: implements PluginContext with a real SLF4J-backed logger (every line tagged with the plug-in id) and the scoped endpoint registrar. The other six services (eventBus, transaction, translator, localeProvider, permissionCheck, entityRegistry) throw UnsupportedOperationException with messages pointing at the implementation plan unit that will land each one. Loud failure beats silent no-op. * VibeErpPluginManager — after PF4J's startPlugins() now walks every loaded plug-in, casts the wrapper instance to api.v1.plugin.Plugin, and calls start(context) with a freshly-built DefaultPluginContext. Tracks the started set so destroy() can call stop() and unregisterAll() in reverse order. Catches plug-in start failures loudly without bringing the framework down. * Reference plug-in (PrintingShopPlugin): - Now extends BOTH org.pf4j.Plugin (so PF4J's loader can instantiate it via the Plugin-Class manifest entry) AND org.vibeerp.api.v1.plugin.Plugin (so the host's vibe_erp lifecycle hook can call start(context)). Uses Kotlin import aliases to disambiguate the two `Plugin` simple names. - In start(context), registers two endpoints: GET /ping — returns {plugin, version, ok, message} GET /echo/{name} — extracts path variable, echoes it back - The /echo handler proves path-variable extraction works end-to-end. * Build infrastructure: - reference-customer/plugin-printing-shop now has an `installToDev` Gradle task that builds the JAR and stages it into <repo>/plugins-dev/. The task wipes any previous staged copies first so renaming the JAR on a version bump doesn't leave PF4J trying to load two versions. - distribution's `bootRun` task now (a) depends on `installToDev` so the staging happens automatically and (b) sets workingDir to the repo root so application-dev.yaml's relative `vibeerp.plugins.directory: ./plugins-dev` resolves to the right place. Without (b) bootRun's CWD was distribution/ and PF4J found "No plugins" — which is exactly the bug that surfaced in the first smoke run. - .gitignore now excludes /plugins-dev/ and /files-dev/. Tests: 12 new unit tests for PluginEndpointRegistry covering literal paths, single/multi path variables, duplicate registration rejection, literal-vs-pattern precedence, cross-plug-in isolation, method matching, and unregisterAll. Total now 61 unit tests across the framework, all green. End-to-end smoke test against fresh Postgres + the plug-in JAR loaded by PF4J at boot (10/10 passing): GET /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/ping (no auth) → 401 POST /api/v1/auth/login → access token GET /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/ping (Bearer) → 200 {plugin, version, ok, message} GET /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/echo/hello → 200, echoed=hello GET /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/echo/world → 200, echoed=world GET /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/nonexistent → 404 (no handler) GET /api/v1/plugins/missing-plugin/ping → 404 (no plugin) POST /api/v1/plugins/printing-shop/ping → 404 (wrong method) GET /api/v1/catalog/uoms (Bearer) → 200, 15 UoMs GET /api/v1/identity/users (Bearer) → 200, 1 user PF4J resolved the JAR, started the plug-in, the host called vibe_erp's start(context), the plug-in registered two endpoints, and the dispatcher routed real HTTP traffic to the plug-in's lambdas. The boot log shows the full chain. What is explicitly NOT in this chunk and remains for later: • plug-in linter (P1.2) — bytecode scan for forbidden imports • plug-in Liquibase application (P1.4) — plug-in-owned schemas • per-plug-in Spring child context — currently we just instantiate the plug-in via PF4J's classloader; there is no Spring context for the plug-in's own beans • PluginContext.eventBus / transaction / translator / etc. — they still throw UnsupportedOperationException with TODO messages • Path-template precedence between multiple competing patterns (only literal-beats-pattern is implemented, not most-specific-pattern) • Permission checks at the dispatcher (Spring Security still catches plug-in endpoints with the global "anyRequest authenticated" rule, which is the right v0.5 behavior) • Hot reload of plug-ins (cold restart only) Bug encountered and fixed during the smoke test: • application-dev.yaml has `vibeerp.plugins.directory: ./plugins-dev`, a relative path. Gradle's `bootRun` task by default uses the subproject's directory as the working directory, so the relative path resolved to <repo>/distribution/plugins-dev/ instead of <repo>/plugins-dev/. PF4J reported "No plugins" because that directory was empty. Fixed by setting bootRun.workingDir = rootProject.layout.projectDirectory.asFile. • One KDoc comment in PluginEndpointDispatcher contained the literal string `/api/v1/plugins/{pluginId}/**` inside backticks. The Kotlin lexer doesn't treat backticks as comment-suppressing, so `/**` opened a nested KDoc comment that was never closed and the file failed to compile. Same root cause as the AuthController bug earlier in the session. Rewrote the line to avoid the literal `/**` sequence.
