flemming-it 25353adb43 chore: rename fai-studio-plugin-sdk → fai-plugin-sdk
Adopts the three SDK families convention documented in
fai/platform/docs/architecture/sdks.md: each base SDK
(module, plugin, client) gets a language suffix on dir + repo
so polyglot variants can be added later without renaming.

  fai_studio_plugin_sdk  → fai_plugin_sdk_rust
  fai-studio-plugin-sdk  → fai-plugin-sdk
  fai/studio-plugin-sdk  → fai/plugin-sdk-rust

# fai-plugin-sdk (Rust)
Rust SDK for writing F∆I plugins (Studio extensions). One of
three SDK families documented in
`fai/platform/docs/architecture/sdks.md`:
* `fai-module-sdk` (Rust) — building flow modules
* `fai-plugin-sdk` (Rust) — building plugins ← this crate
* `fai-client-sdk` (Dart) — building hub-talking clients
Each gets a language-suffix on its dir/repo so polyglot
variants can be added later without renaming the existing
ones (e.g. a future `fai-plugin-sdk-go`).
## Status
**v0.1 builds.** Studio plugins targeting the `studio-plugin`
world declared in `wit/studio-plugin.wit` can be compiled to
`wasm32-wasip2` against this crate today. The proof-of-
contract plugin is `studio-theme-solarized` in the
fai-plugins namespace.
What's NOT yet implemented:
- **Hub side**: a Component-Model loader path for
`studio-plugin`-world components + the `InvokePlugin`
gRPC RPC that Studio talks to. Tracked in
`fai/platform/docs/advanced/plugin-sdk.md`.
- **Studio side**: `plugin_host.dart` that discovers
installed `studio.*` capabilities and dispatches.
- **Per-hook worlds**: today's v0.1 ships a single world
(`studio-plugin`) that exports all three hooks
(`theme`, `translate`, `output-view`). A plugin only
caring about one hook still has to declare empty /
declined impls for the other two. v0.2 splits into one
world per hook.
- **`#[plugin(...)]` proc-macro**: v0.1 ships a plain
`export_plugin!` macro that wraps the wit-bindgen-emitted
`__export_studio_plugin_impl!`. The proc-macro that
generates the WIT bindings + the `Guest` impls in one
pass arrives in v0.2.
## Usage
```toml
# Cargo.toml of your plugin
[package]
name = "my_studio_plugin"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021" # match SDK edition
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
[dependencies]
fai-plugin-sdk = { git = "https://git.flemming.ai/fai/plugin-sdk-rust", branch = "main" }
```
```rust
// src/lib.rs of your plugin
use fai_plugin_sdk::{bindings, export_plugin};
type ColorScheme = bindings::fai::studio_plugin::plugin_types::ColorScheme;
type PluginError = bindings::fai::studio_plugin::plugin_types::PluginError;
type RenderedOutput = bindings::fai::studio_plugin::plugin_types::RenderedOutput;
struct MyPlugin;
impl bindings::exports::fai::studio_plugin::theme::Guest for MyPlugin {
fn theme_for(brightness: String) -> Result<ColorScheme, PluginError> {
// Return a ColorScheme or PluginError::Declined.
}
}
// v0.1: every plugin must declare all three hooks. Plugins
// that don't actually serve a hook return Declined.
impl bindings::exports::fai::studio_plugin::translate::Guest for MyPlugin {
fn translate(_: String, _: String, _: String) -> Result<String, PluginError> {
Err(PluginError::Declined("not a translate plugin".to_string()))
}
}
impl bindings::exports::fai::studio_plugin::output_view::Guest for MyPlugin {
fn render(_: String, _: Vec<u8>) -> Result<RenderedOutput, PluginError> {
Err(PluginError::Declined("not a view plugin".to_string()))
}
}
export_plugin!(MyPlugin);
```
Then:
```bash
cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip2
fai pack . -o my-plugin-0.1.0.fai
```
## WIT layout
```
wit/
├── studio-plugin.wit # main world, fai:studio-plugin@0.1.0
└── deps/
└── platform/
└── world.wit # fai:platform@1.0.0 (host imports)
```
Both files are verbatim copies of the authoritative versions
in `fai/platform/wit/`. When the contract changes upstream,
re-copy here in lock-step.
## Why edition 2021
wit-bindgen 0.36 emits `#[link_section]` / unsafe-attribute
syntax that the edition-2024 compiler rejects. Bump when
moving to a wit-bindgen version with edition-2024-compatible
codegen.
