The output contract cut only the top level of an entity result. A derived key's value went out untouched, so the children that are whole rows still carried every column: a day's notes_items are full day_notes entities and a reservation's endpoints are SELECT e.* on reservation_endpoints. About fifty methods were also left as readModel and passed through whole, many of them backed by SELECT * reads (day_accommodations, day_notes, todos, tags, packing bags, journal entries, collab, collections, vacay plans). A new column on any of those tables reached every plugin by default, which is what the contract was meant to stop and what the SDK README and the wiki already claimed it did. PLUGIN_ENTITY_NESTED now names, per entity, the derived keys that hold rows of another entity, and the shaper cuts those rows down to their own field list, recursively. dayNote and reservationEndpoint are the child tables that were whole rows; day.assignments and place.tags are held to the assignment and tag lists too, although their reads already name their columns. The remaining derived children (travelers, participants, ratings, budget members, payers and receipts, packing recipients, attachments, voters, bag members) are built field by field, which the contract comment now states as the rule for a derived key without a nested entity. The whole-row read models get entity contracts: accommodation, dayNote, todo, tag, category, packingBag, fileLink, collabNote, collabPoll, collabMessage, journey, journalEntry, bucketItem and collection, and vacayPlan with its holiday calendars. collections.listMine, collections.get and vacay.mine return envelopes around rows; an entity with a null table describes those, so their rows are reached through the same nesting. Every list holds exactly the keys each read returned before, so no plugin loses a field. What stays readModel is built field by field from named columns, and each such entry says what it returns: setBagMembers, atlas.visited, collections.savePlace and copyToTrip, the two vacay toggles and journal.addEntryPhoto. The schema test now covers every child and new table, and calls each newly shaped method on the real services, comparing nested rows key for key so the only field allowed to disappear is a withheld one. A further case proves the nested rows it compares are not empty. gen:plugin-facts publishes PLUGIN_ENTITY_NESTED to the SDK, and the SDK README, the plugin wiki pages and server/CLAUDE.md describe the nested rows and list the new entities.

What this package is
trek-plugin-sdk — the author-facing SDK and CLI for building TREK plugins. It lives in the TREK monorepo but is not a root npm workspace: own package-lock.json, versioned and published to npm independently, and it must ship standalone (a published copy has no access to the rest of the repo). Run all commands from plugin-sdk/. The root CLAUDE.md conventions (target dev, conventional commits, no attribution trailers) still apply.
Three bins from one codebase: trek-plugin-sdk / trek-plugin (same entry, src/cli/trek-plugin.ts, one file per command under src/cli/) and create-trek-plugin (src/cli/create.ts). README.md here is the author guide; the trek-plugin-dev skill is the long-form authoring reference.
Commands
npm install
npm run build # tsc ESM build + tsc CJS build + scripts/finish-cjs.mjs
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit (CI)
npm test # vitest run
npm run test:coverage # what CI runs (feeds the Sonar new-code coverage gate)
npx vitest run test/sdk.test.ts # single test file
node scripts/gen-lucide-icon-names.mjs # regenerate src/lucide-icon-names.ts (uses repo-root lucide-react)
Node >= 18, "type": "module"; the dual build emits ESM to dist/ and CJS to dist/cjs/ (finish-cjs.mjs writes the {"type":"commonjs"} marker there — without it Node parses the CJS output as ESM). There is no lint script here.
Release: a pushed plugin-sdk-v* tag runs npm ci && npm publish via the root publish-plugin-sdk.yml; prepublishOnly builds and tests first. The published version is whatever package.json says — bump it in the same PR as the SDK change. Never push the tag yourself.
The load-bearing principle: mirrored host code + parity tests
The SDK's promise is that local results equal host/registry results: dev enforces what a real TREK enforces, and validate passes iff the TREK-Plugins registry CI passes. A drift in the lenient direction is the worst bug in this package — a false green lets an author cut an effectively immutable GitHub release (the registry pins its sha256) that the registry then rejects.
Because the package ships standalone it cannot import server code, so several files are deliberate copies of host sources, each guarded by a parity test that reads the original directly. Those tests skip outside the monorepo but run in this checkout — keep the pairs in sync when touching either side:
| SDK copy | Source of truth | Parity test |
|---|---|---|
src/generated/host-facts.ts (permissions, RPC methods, hooks, event catalog, KNOWN_ADDONS, the output contract PLUGIN_ENTITY_FIELDS / PLUGIN_ENTITY_NESTED / PLUGIN_METHOD_RESULT) |
server/src/nest/plugins/protocol/envelope.ts, protocol/output-contract.ts and server/src/addons.ts via server/scripts/gen-plugin-facts.ts (machine-written, never hand-edit) |
server check:plugin-facts CI gate; the entity interfaces in src/index.ts are type-checked against PLUGIN_ENTITY_FIELDS |
src/egress-policy.ts (pure helpers, kept byte-identical) |
server/src/nest/plugins/runtime/egress-policy.ts |
test/permissions-parity.test.ts |
src/manifest.ts (validation rules incl. the trek version range) |
server/src/nest/plugins/install/ |
kept in sync by hand |
src/cli/checks/* (registry gates) |
TREK-Plugins registry repo (scripts/validate-entry.mjs, check-readme.mjs) |
test/checks-parity.test.ts (runs the registry's real script; TREK_PLUGINS_REPO points at a checkout) |
src/zip.ts (ZIP writer) |
server safe-extract.ts reader |
format frozen against the reader |
Direction: single-source the contract. The hand-kept copies are the residual risk, and the parity tests' skip-outside-the-monorepo guards mean the published SDK's own CI can green-light drift in them — keep moving copies into the generated/parity-tested set, never away from it. Changing an egress rule, manifest rule or registry gate means touching every copy in one change; parity gates fail closed; version/compat checks fail closed on unknown host versions.
A subtlety documented in src/permissions.ts: ctx methods fail loudly at call time, but hooks/events/jobs are gated before the plugin is reached and fail silently in production — so the dev server and mock host deliberately make those failures loud.
Architecture
src/index.ts— the plugin API surface: all types,definePlugin,PLUGIN_API_VERSION(bump on any breaking API change). Pure and dependency-free; it mirrors exactly what TREK's plugin runtime injects. Runtime deps for the whole package are only@clack/prompts,semver,update-notifier— keep it that way (Playwright forshotis the author's devDependency; the ZIP writer is in-tree).- Two package exports:
.(the SDK) and./testing(src/mock-host.ts) — a mockPluginContextenforcing the same permission model against fixtures. src/cli/— interactive TTY sessions get prompts; non-TTY stays flag-driven. Machine output (entryJSON,pack --json, PR URLs) goes to stdout, notices to stderr.src/cli/checks/— one check registry, two depths:runOffline(synchronous on purpose, so packing can validate before zipping) andrunAll(adds the GitHub-dependent gates used bypreflight/publish).src/ui/kit.ts— the design kit as plain strings, inlined where the<!-- trek:ui -->marker sits in a plugin'sclient/index.html(the opaque-origin iframe CSP forbids external link/script). Not a security boundary.src/lucide-icon-names.ts— generated snapshot; an unknown icon is a validate warning, never an error.test/helpers.ts—makePublishable(dir)turns a fresh scaffold into a registry-passing plugin; the scaffold deliberately fails publish gates, so tests choose "fresh" vs "publishable" explicitly.
Behavioral contracts to not break
statusnever exits non-zero;validateis the enforcing form.publishorder is check → pack → release → preflight → submit, and a check failure must stop anything from being tagged or released.- Signed → unsigned is refused forever; unsigned → signed is always allowed.
- Update notices print to stderr only and are silent in CI/
NODE_ENV=test/non-TTY, so JSON output stays pipeable.
