Summary

  • Implemented comprehensive improvements to the Red editor plugin system
  • Added 20+ enhancements across 5 phases prioritized by importance and implementation difficulty
  • Fixed all compilation warnings and improved error handling

Major Features Implemented

Phase 1: Critical Fixes

  • ✅ Made plugin deactivate function optional
  • ✅ Fixed memory leaks in setTimeout implementation
  • ✅ Improved error handling with JavaScript stack traces
  • ✅ Enhanced plugin lifecycle management

Phase 2: Core Features

  • ✅ Buffer Manipulation APIs with full undo/redo integration
  • ✅ Event System Expansion (mode changes, cursor movement, file events)
  • ✅ Command Discovery API (red.getCommands())
  • ✅ Configuration Support (red.getConfig())

Phase 3: Developer Experience

  • ✅ TypeScript definitions with comprehensive API coverage
  • ✅ Testing framework with Jest-like syntax
  • ✅ Improved logging with debug/info/warn/error levels
  • ✅ Plugin metadata support via package.json

Phase 4: Additional Features

  • ✅ setInterval/clearInterval implementation with proper async cancellation
  • ✅ Memory leak prevention in timer systems
  • ✅ Hot reload planning document

Phase 5: CI/CD

  • ✅ GitHub Actions workflows for testing, releases, and plugin validation
  • ✅ Multi-OS and multi-Rust version testing
  • ✅ Security audits and documentation checks

Test Plan

  • All existing tests pass
  • Plugin examples work correctly
  • No compilation warnings
  • Timer functions (setTimeout/setInterval) work without memory leaks
  • Plugin hot reload plan documented
  • Manual testing of all new plugin APIs
  • Verify TypeScript definitions work in IDEs
  • Test plugin reload functionality

Breaking Changes

None - all changes are backward compatible. The deactivate function is now optional for plugins.

Documentation

  • Updated plugin system documentation
  • Added TypeScript definitions for better IDE support
  • Created hot reload implementation plan
  • Added comprehensive test examples

- Add buffer manipulation plugin requests (insert, delete, replace text)
- Add cursor position get/set operations
- Add buffer text retrieval with line range support
- Implement JavaScript API methods for all buffer operations
- Add full undo/redo integration for plugin edits
- Support async operations for cursor position and buffer text queries

Also fix compilation warnings:
- Remove redundant needs_render assignment in InsertNewLine action
- Suppress async_fn_in_trait warning for test utilities

These APIs enable plugins to programmatically edit buffer contents while maintaining
proper undo history and triggering appropriate change notifications.

- Add mode:changed event for editor mode transitions
- Add cursor:moved event for cursor position changes
- Add file:opened and file:saved events for file operations
- Implement notify_cursor_move() helper method
- Update basic movement actions to emit cursor events
- Add comprehensive event data for all notifications

Update plugin documentation to include:
- All new events with descriptions
- Buffer manipulation API reference
- Event data structures

This enables plugins to react to editor state changes and build more
interactive features like status indicators, file watchers, and
cursor-aware tools.
