FoldingText 3.0.21 Release Notes

Release Notes

[3.0.21] — 2026-06-29

New

• Add an optional requires map to plugin manifests (identifier → version

Other

• requirement, same comparator format as engines). Installing a plugin
• (sidebar or deep link) now downloads, installs, and enables each declared
• dependency first — recursively, so transitive deps resolve — before the
• requesting plugin.
• Manifest: requires field (forward-compatible; older builds ignore the
• unknown key), requiredPlugins, version(_:satisfies:), and a pure
• authoring-time detectDependencyCycle(in:). versionComparator made static.
• ExtensionManager: installExtensionWithDependencies(from:for:inFlight:) —
• recursive install with an in-flight ancestor set that guarantees termination
• on self-references and cycles. Already-satisfied deps are reused/re-enabled,
• not re-downloaded. Best-effort: the parent installs even if a dep can't be
• satisfied, with warnings.
• Surface failures via .extensionDependencyWarning, shown by the app scene
• ("Required Plugin Not Installed"). Wired into both install entry points
• (deep link in FoldingTextApp, sidebar ActionButton).
• Tests: ManifestDependencyTests (decoding, version satisfaction, cycle
• detection); mock conformance + lint touch-ups in Bridge/PluginLoading tests.
• Docs: distribution.md + foldingtext-plugin skill manifest reference.
• filter.ftplugin now declares requires jkpanel (0.5.4 → 0.5.5); jmkpanel
• lint cleanup (@ts-ignore → @ts-expect-error).
• App version 3.0.19 → 3.0.21.
