Felix RiestraandClaude Sonnet 5 eb22de636b Decide Insert and Polyline: Insert creatable by block name, Polyline update-only
Insert can be created by naming an existing ordinary block; the host refuses
unknown blocks, model/paper space and containment cycles, and keeps legacy
inserts of missing blocks editable. The legacy Polyline is update-only with a
hint toward Polyline2D and Polyline3D because both writers convert it on
save. The generator gains update_only_message.

Plugin registry

registry.json is the curated list of third-party plugins Open CAD Studio offers in its Plugin Manager → marketplace. The app fetches it from this repo's main branch at runtime, so adding an entry makes a plugin discoverable to every user without an app update.

Add your plugin

Open a pull request adding one object to the array in registry.json:

{
  "repo": "your-account/your-plugin-repo",
  "name": "Human-readable name",
  "description": "One line describing what it does."
}

Requirements for the linked repo:

  • Builds a cdylib against ocs_plugin_api and exports the host symbols via ocs_plugin_api::export_plugin!.
  • Publishes per-platform binaries plus plugin.toml as GitHub Release assets (see crates/ocs_example_plugin and its release workflow for a template). Asset names carry the platform, e.g. your.plugin-linux-x86_64.so, …-windows-x86_64.dll, …-macos-aarch64.dylib.
  • plugin.toml declares an api_version compatible with the host.

The host reads the release matching the user's platform, checks the API version, and installs it into the user's plugins folder.

Listing is curation, not endorsement or a security review. Installing a plugin runs its native code; users install at their own risk.
