♻️ 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 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.

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.
