Widget plugins can now declare capabilities.widget.slot 'hero' to render as a transparent, click-through overlay sitting on the boarding-pass bar's top edge (migration 157 persists capabilities; manifest validation server+SDK, feed exposes the slot, dashboard mounts hero frames above the pass). Sidebar stays the default slot. Replaces the trip-countdown example with Koffi, the TREK mascot: an animated suitcase with a 14-state behavior engine driven by real trip data — walking, waving, napping, trolley rolls, passport-stamp stickers, a split-flap luggage- tag countdown under 7 days, and sunglasses while the trip runs. Validated by the SDK suite like any author plugin; published as mauriceboe/trek-plugin-koffi in the registry. Migrations 156/157 follow the idempotent ALTER pattern (the reconciliation test re-runs everything from v135, so duplicate-column must stay non-fatal).
Koffi
A tiny animated suitcase mascot that lives on your boarding pass.
What it does
Koffi is TREK's mascot — a little vintage suitcase with travel stickers, a swinging luggage tag, and big friendly eyes. He walks along the top edge of the dashboard's boarding-pass bar, looks around, waves at you, reads his map, naps (only when there's plenty of time), rolls a stretch in trolley mode, and collects passport-stamp stickers.
He also reacts to your actual trip: the closer the departure, the more excited he gets — under 7 days he jumps for joy and his luggage tag flips into an airport-style split-flap countdown; while the trip is running he puts on tiny sunglasses. Vacation mode.

|---|---|
db:read:trips |
To read the current trip's start/end dates so Koffi knows how excited to be. The read is membership-checked by TREK, so he only ever sees a trip you already have access to. |
No network access, no data storage of its own — Koffi just vibes.
Setup
None. Enable plugins on your instance (TREK_PLUGINS_ENABLED=true), install
and activate Koffi, and he appears on the boarding-pass bar of your dashboard
hero. He respects prefers-reduced-motion (static pose, no locomotion).
Requires TREK ≥ 3.2.0 (hero widget slot).
Building
Plain JS/HTML — no build step. server/index.js is the plugin entry;
client/index.html is the mascot iframe.
