* ⚡ Build the frontend bundle once for all E2E suites Merge tests-integration, tests-composable-suite and tests-plugin-api-suite into one "CI: E2E" workflow. Each of the three ran its own full frontend/scripts/build on every PR, so one PR paid the build three times. The new build-bundle job restores actions/cache key frontend-bundle-<sha>, runs frontend/scripts/build only on a miss and saves the key before the job ends. The integration shards, the composable suite and the mocked Plugin API suite now all need build-bundle and restore the same key with fail-on-cache-miss, so none of them builds. A workflow re-run of the same SHA reuses the cached bundle instead of rebuilding it. Triggers become the union of the previous paths (frontend, common, render-wasm, plugins): the bundle embeds the built plugins, so a plugins change runs the whole set. workflow_dispatch keeps running the integration job only, as before. Job names are kept identical on purpose: they are the GitHub check contexts and branch protection may match them by name. Docs: new mem:frontend/e2e-ci-workflow records the build-once contract, referenced from mem:frontend/core and mem:frontend/testing; the composable memory and both suite READMEs are updated. AI-assisted-by: deepseek-v4.1-flash * 🐛 Fix mocked plugin suites crashing without frontend deps The mocked CI drivers shelled out to frontend/scripts/e2e-server.js, which imports express from frontend/node_modules. CI jobs install only plugins/ deps, so the import failed with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND and the run timed out waiting for localhost:3000. Serve the prebuilt bundle with a zero-dependency static server built into each driver (ci/static-server.ts, kept in sync in both suites) plus node:test coverage for it.

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.
