The daemon imports the plugin SDK at runtime, but the workspace was named
@paseo/plugin and marked private, so it was never published. 0.5.0-beta.1
shipped @getpaseo/server depending on a package that does not exist and
`npm install @getpaseo/cli@beta` failed with a 404 for every user.
Two things hid it. sync-workspace-versions only rewrites deps matching
@getpaseo/*, so the "*" range on @paseo/plugin survived untouched into the
published tarball. And `npm pack --dry-run`, which is all release:check and
CI run, lists files without ever resolving the dependency graph.
Renaming to @getpaseo/plugin rather than publishing the old name: @paseo is
not our scope on npm, so that name could never have been published at all.
The rename also brings the package under the version-sync filter, which is
what pins it correctly from here on.
Plugins scaffolded against the old name still import @paseo/plugin. Both
spellings resolve through plugin-sdk-specifiers.ts, tagged COMPAT with a
removal date, so existing plugins keep loading.
This does not repair 0.5.0-beta.1 — a published tarball's dependencies
cannot be changed. The package publishes with the next release.
The plugin compiler spawned esbuild through app.asar, and the subprocess
imported the React client barrel. Point esbuild at the unpacked binary,
add a react-free @paseo/plugin/server entry, and pass a typed PluginTheme
so plugin UI follows the active theme on desktop and mobile.
Keep the entry point focused on contribution wiring so client UI and daemon handlers can use their own runtime APIs safely. Surface compilation failures and lifecycle transitions in the retained plugin log tail.
