♻️ Consolidate auto-link libraries with unified export-type and fix ref integrity (#9958)
*  Auto-link libraries during import based on slugified name

When a Penpot file is exported without bundled libraries and then
imported into a different environment, external library links are
broken because library UUIDs differ across environments.

This feature adds a heuristic to auto-relink libraries by matching
slugified library names against shared files in the target team:

- Export: embed external library metadata (id, name, slug, used-by)
  in the manifest when libraries are not included in the export.
- Import: resolve external libraries by slugifying shared file names
  in the destination team and matching against manifest slugs.
- Single match: auto-link silently (creates file-library-rel row).
- Multiple matches: emit SSE event so the frontend shows a selection
  dialog for the user to pick the correct library.
- No match: import continues without linking (current behavior).

Backend changes:
- Extended manifest schema with optional :external-libraries field
- Added slugify-name, get-files-names, get-shared-files-for-team,
  find-shared-files-by-slug helpers in app.binfile.common
- Threaded team-id into import cfg from RPC layer
- Added resolve-external-libraries and auto-link-libraries in v3
- Emit :library-candidates SSE event for multi-match cases

Frontend changes:
- Worker captures library-candidates SSE events and forwards them
- Import dialog shows auto-link notification and multi-match
  selection UI with select dropdowns
- Added link-files-to-library! RPC helper for user selections
- Added en/es translations for new UI strings

Closes #9263

*  Add UI for the auto-link plumbing

* ♻️ Consolidate auto-link libraries with unified export-type and fix ref integrity

Consolidates the auto-link libraries feature into a single coherent implementation:

- Unify boolean flags (embed-assets, include-libraries, link-later)
  into single ::bfc/export-type parameter
- Fix critical reference-integrity bug: pre-resolution no longer remaps
  :component-file refs when no link is created (multi-match / no-permission)
- compute-link-decisions as single source of truth for auto-link logic
- 80+ backend tests covering round-trip, cross-team, permissions,
  edge cases, and reference integrity

Penpot plugin-types

The @penpot/plugin-types package provides TypeScript type definitions for the Penpot Plugin API, making it easier to develop plugins for the Penpot design platform with full type safety and IDE support. It streamlines the development process by ensuring that your code is well-typed and less prone to errors.

Getting started

Installation

To add penpot's plugin-types to your project, use the following command:

npm install @penpot/plugin-types

Configuration

To ensure the typings work correctly in your project, update your tsconfig.json as follows:

"typeRoots": [
  "./node_modules/@types",
  "./node_modules/@penpot"
],
"types": ["plugin-types"],
