Remove personal names, local paths and fork-only process notes from code comments,
docs and the plugin manifest (repository now points at the upstream project), and
drop the handoff section from the plan.

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.
