Found while building an out-of-tree scripting plugin from scratch against
this doc and the actual ocs_plugin_api/host source. Two categories:
Fixed outright (docs/examples didn't match the real code):
- The worked CadModule example returned Vec<RibbonGroup> from
ribbon_groups(); the real trait requires &[RibbonGroup] - the example
wouldn't compile. Fixed with the OnceLock pattern the host's own
benchmark code already uses.
- Reconciled a contradiction between "process isolation removes the need
for a shared Rust ABI" and the exact-rustc_version requirement described
a few paragraphs earlier in the same doc.
- The roadmap's "Next" list still had external automation as unstarted;
--mcp/--serve are real and operational (src/cli.rs, src/mcp.rs).
- Added the missing plugin.toml to docs/plugin-template-v2 (its own
DESIGN.md already claimed one could be installed).
- Documented that plugin-template's CI floats rust-toolchain@stable, which
doesn't guarantee matching the host's exact rustc - added acadrust_source
to both templates' plugin.toml plus the release.yml step that fills it
from Cargo.lock's resolved acadrust source, alongside the existing
rustc_version fill.
Flagging for your call, not fixed here (found the behavior, not sure it's
the intended one, prefer to ask than guess at a fix):
- acadrust_compatible()'s ABI gate only runs at all if plugin.toml declares
acadrust_source - an undeclared field is silently treated as compatible,
unlike rustc_version (undeclared = incompatible). The same shortcut
appears in two places: ExternalPlugin::acadrust_compatible
(src/plugin/external.rs) and the inline check inside fetch_release_info
(src/plugin/marketplace.rs). If this is deliberate (e.g. back-compat with
manifests from before the field existed), no action needed beyond a
comment; if not, both call sites need the same fix.
- The command line still uppercases typed/pasted input even with the `>`
literal-spaces prefix (Message::CommandInput, src/app/update/mod.rs) -
`>` only stops a space from auto-submitting the line, it doesn't skip
`s.to_uppercase()`. A plugin command needing a case-sensitive typed
argument has no escape today short of automation.
- fetch_release_info (src/plugin/marketplace.rs) returns every release
under a linked repo with no filter on the manifest's own id field (which
it already parses to build ReleaseInfo) - a repo hosting more than one
plugin under tag-namespaced releases surfaces all of them mixed
together in one plugin's version list.

Change CadModule::ribbon_groups() from -> Vec<RibbonGroup> to -> &[RibbonGroup],
backed by a per-module OnceLock cache. The ribbon group tree is static data
(&'static str, Copy enums) that was being fully reconstructed — Vecs, String
clones, enum discriminants — on every call, including all three per-frame
call sites (view(), dropdown_overlay(), style_combo_overlay()).
- 7 built-in modules + 2 plugin templates cache via function-local OnceLock.
Safe because each is a unit struct with exactly one instance per process
(plugins run in isolated child processes; see PluginProcess::spawn()).
- SharedCadModule avoids the static pattern entirely, storing groups in an
instance field (owned.rs).
- IPC runner converts &RibbonGroup -> OwnedRibbonGroup directly via new
From<&T> impls, avoiding an intermediate clone.
- render_small/render_large and the two make_tool_row closures now borrow
(&RibbonItem, &[ToolDef]) instead of taking ownership, so the view loop
doesn't need to clone items to satisfy the old by-value signatures.
- Various match-ergonomics deref fixes (*id, *default, *icon, etc.) from
the &RibbonItem pattern change.
