* ✨ Add plugin with composable test framework and component tests The plugin provides a framework for writing composable tests against the Plugin API, and applies it to systematic end-to-end testing of component semantics. The framework's core ideas: a test is written once as a composition of operations over a starting configuration; choice points among the operations (optional steps, alternatives) expand the composition into a full sweep of test variants, so a single case definition yields broad combinatorial coverage; and the operations drive the real Plugin API with real change propagation, testing the full production implementation. The initial application is a suite of component test cases covering synchronization, overrides, swap slots and variants — the TypeScript/e2e continuation of the ClojureScript composable test suite (frontend_tests.composable_tests). Several cases originate from reproducing real defects (e.g. #10109 and the swap-slot corruptions). Tests run from an interactive panel in Penpot: cases are listed with plain-language descriptions, tests can be run selectively, results stream in live, and every checkbox carries a stable DOM id — so the panel can equally be driven programmatically (the basis for running the suite in CI), as documented in the plugin's README. Lives at plugins/apps/composable-test-suite as a regular member of the plugins workspace (init script, start:plugin:composable-test-suite, shared dev port 4202, covered by build:plugins via the new ./apps/*-test-suite filter). Related to #10584. AI-assisted-by: claude-fable-5 * ✨ Run the composable test suite headlessly in CI Adds a headless run mode for the composable test suite, following the plugin-api-test-suite's CI architecture, and a workflow that runs it as a per-PR gate. An in-sandbox entry (src/ci/headless.ts) runs the suite without the panel UI — the framework's runner was UI-free by construction, so no refactoring was needed — and streams each result through console markers, addressed by the same composite identifiers the panel uses (e.g. MainEditSyncs-2), with durations and, on failure, the error and the applied-steps transcript. It is built as a single self-executing bundle and evaluated directly inside a real Penpot plugin sandbox by the driver (ci/run-ci.ts), so no plugin dev server or port is involved. The driver needs no backend and no login: it serves the prebuilt frontend bundle via the frontend e2e static server and intercepts every backend RPC with Playwright fixtures. The mocked backend is not a limitation for this suite — everything it asserts is frontend store logic executed in memory — which the full run confirms: all 48 tests behave identically to the interactive panel, including variants and swap slots, with the single (currently expected) failure of MainEditSyncs-2 reproducing bug #10109 under the mock. TEST_FILTER selects tests by identifier substring; CI_TIMEOUT_MS bounds the run. The mock harness mirrors the frontend e2e harness (see the provenance note in the driver). Related to #10584.

Also records this session's additions (geometry operations, case N, the CI harness).

Also drop the outdated 'MCP' from the standard Note line.

Penpot Plugins
What can you find here?
We've been working in an MVP to allow users to develop their own plugins and use the existing ones.
There are 2 important folders to keep an eye on: apps and libs.
In the libs folder you'll find:
- plugins-runtime: here you'll find the code that initializes the plugin and sets a few listeners to know when the penpot page/file/selection changes. It has its own README.
- plugins-styles: basic css library with penpot styles in case you need help for styling your plugins.
In the apps folder you'll find some examples that use the libraries mentioned
above.
-
contrast-plugin: to run this example check Create a plugin from scratch
-
example-styles: to run this example you should run
pnpm run start:styles-example
Open in your browser: http://localhost:4202/
Run Penpot sample plugins
This guide will help you launch a Penpot plugin from the penpot-plugins repository. Before proceeding, ensure that you have Penpot running locally by following the setup instructions.
In the terminal, navigate to the penpot-plugins repository and run pnpm -r install to install the required dependencies. Then, run pnpm run start to
launch the plugins runtime.
After installing the dependencies, choose a plugin to launch. You can either run one of the provided examples or create your own (see "Creating a plugin from scratch" below). To launch a plugin, Open a new terminal tab and run the appropriate startup script for the chosen plugin.
For instance, to launch the Contrast plugin, use the following command:
// for the contrast plugin
pnpm run start:plugin:contrast
Finally, open in your browser the specific port. In this specific example would
be http://localhost:4302
A table listing the available plugins and their corresponding startup commands is provided below.
