✨ Add size limits to profile props and plugin registry (#11596)
* ✨ Add size limits to profile props and plugin registry

Bound the total serialized size of profile settings to 2 MiB
(:profile-props-max-size), checked on the merged result before
persisting, with a controlled :props-too-large error. Profiles
that already exceed the limit can still shrink but cannot grow.

Cap plugin registry entries in the shared schema (code 1 MiB, 50
plugins max, bounded name/host/description/icon) and restore rate
limiting on the plugin RPCs (profile-mutations bucket, one write
at a time per profile). The plugin manager now asks for
confirmation before removal and ignores repeated clicks while a
persist request is in flight.

Closes #11592

* 🐛 Enforce plugin count cap, byte sizes and removal guard

Enforce the declared 50-plugin cap in add-profile-plugin with a
specific :too-many-plugins error (updates of existing entries
still pass); the cap lives in a shared max-plugins constant.

Measure profile props size in UTF-8 bytes instead of chars so
multibyte content cannot slip past the limit.

Cover install/remove persist logic with mocked-RPC frontend tests
(release semantics, in-flight dedupe, validation vs rollback
split) and add the missing boundary tests in common.

Expose the in-flight persist set from the plugin registry and
disable the remove button of entries being saved.

Closes #11592

* 🐛 Fix rollback loops and restore paths in plugin registry

Restore the previous plugin version instead of dropping the entry
when a validation error rejects an update of an installed plugin.

Make compensating writes one-shot with terminal callbacks so a
persistent failure cannot ping-pong between install and remove.
Restores keep the original list position; the unused public
plugin-persisting? predicate is removed.

Pin count-before-size precedence with a dedicated test and fix
translation source refs to their canonical lines.

Closes #11592

* 🐛 Guard notifications write and fix restore ordering

Route update-profile-notifications through check-props-size! so
oversized profiles cannot grow through that path; document the
exempt system writers. Remove the duplicated stale entries in
en.po, keeping the canonical translation refs.

Restore rejected plugin updates at their original list position
instead of leaving the optimistic move in place.

Closes #11592

* 🐛 Skip no-op plugin removal and clarify size comments

Return early from remove-profile-plugin when the id is absent:
no wasted write, no size check, and no manufactured :plugins key
that could spuriously fail on oversized profiles.

Clarify that per-field string caps count chars while the byte
budget is enforced by profile-props-max-size.

* ♻️ Simplify props size check and tighten plugin entry caps

Measure props with transit bytes directly instead of the
PGobject string roundtrip.

Rename check-props-size! to check-props-size: single hard limit
on the merged props, no growth comparison, and return props so
writers thread the check into the update.

Move the 2 MiB default into default-props-max-size on the
profile namespace, still overridable with the optional
:profile-props-max-size config entry.

Tighten registry-entry :code and :icon to 500 chars: they hold
manifest paths, not content.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.

Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.

Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.

Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.

The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.

With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.

Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.

If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us
