## New widgets ### plugin-file-manager (reusable) Inline file management UI driven entirely by x-widget-config in the plugin schema. Any plugin can adopt it by declaring web_ui_actions in manifest.json and adding x-widget: "plugin-file-manager" to their config schema. Features: - File card grid with enable/disable toggles, metadata (entry count, size, date) - Drag-and-drop + click upload zone with configurable hint text - Create file modal driven by create_fields schema config - Delete confirmation modal - Edit modal: auto-detects tabular data (object-of-objects) → paginated table with inline-editable cells and "Jump to today" navigation; falls back to JSON textarea for unstructured data - plugin_id auto-injected from template context; no per-plugin JS needed - Immediate saves via /api/v3/plugins/action — no Save Configuration required ### time-picker Wraps native <input type="time">, returns HH:MM string. Generic, zero config. ### file-upload-single Single-image upload for string fields. Shows thumbnail preview + clear button. plugin_id auto-injected from template context. ## New route (pages_v3.py) GET /v3/plugin-ui/<plugin_id>/web-ui/<filename> Serves a plugin's web_ui/ HTML fragment as a standalone page, wrapping it with a minimal HTML page that injects window.PLUGIN_ID and loads Tailwind CSS. Enables the json-file-manager iframe fallback (Phase A) and future plugin UIs. ## plugin_config.html updates - json-file-manager: renders plugin's web_ui/file_manager.html in an iframe via the new /v3/plugin-ui/ route (Phase A compatibility) - plugin-file-manager: full inline widget registration - time-picker, file-upload-single: registered in widget elif chain - color-picker: wired for type:array (RGB triplet) fields — renders hex picker + R/G/B number inputs with bidirectional sync - Plugin Actions section: suppressed when schema has a file-manager widget or when all actions are marked ui_hidden in manifest - x-widget-config passed to all widgets in the init script block ## array-table.js improvements (v2.0.0) - enum fields → <select> dropdown instead of plain text - date-picker x-widget → <input type=date> - time-picker x-widget → <input type=time> - file-upload-single x-widget → path input + upload button + thumbnail - Row edit modal (⚙) for non-displayed nested properties (layout, style objects) with color pickers, enum selects, number inputs - getValue() collects <select> values and nested key paths - Inline image upload via handleArrayTableImageUpload() Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
Contributing to the docs
- Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
- Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
- If a page becomes obsolete, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
