v1.2.0 — Plugin Manifest System

Plugin Manifest System with Post-Deploy Actions

Every plugin in the registry now ships with a manifest — a structured declaration of environment variables, dependencies, post-install steps, and health checks. This is the standard for all current and future plugins.

What's New

• Environment Variable Prompting — Deploying a plugin that requires configuration (API keys, network settings, auth tokens) shows a configuration modal before deployment. Required fields are validated, secrets are masked, and auto-generation is supported.
• Plugin Dependency Validation — The deploy flow checks that all required plugins are installed first. Portainer requires Docker, AgentPay Skill Pack requires AgentPay SDK, etc.
• Health Check Endpoints — GET /api/plugins/{slug}/health runs manifest-defined checks (shell commands, HTTP endpoints, Python imports, file existence). Health indicators show green/red status in the Plugins tab.
• Manifest-Driven Post-Install — Plugin-specific setup steps replace the old generic auto-detection. Docker installs Docker CE, Tailscale authenticates with an auth key, Bankr installs the CLI, etc.
• 10 Complete Plugin Manifests — Superpowers, Shannon, AgentPay SDK, AgentPay Skill Pack, Bankr Agent, Docker, Portainer, Browser Control, Tailscale, Hello Plugin

Plugin Manifest Standard

All plugins must declare:

• envVars — required/optional config with descriptions, validation regex, auto-generate support
• dependencies — other plugins that must be installed first
• systemRequirements — system packages needed (docker, nodejs, python, etc.)
• postInstallSteps — ordered commands to run after cloning
• healthChecks — verification that the plugin works

See DOCUMENTATION.md for the full schema reference.

Security

• Env var values injected via subprocess env, never via shell interpolation
• SSL verification only disabled for localhost health checks
• Python import paths validated to prevent code injection
• Env var values never logged

Files Changed

• 19 files, +1,970 / -287 lines
• New: manifest.py, EnvVarPromptModal.tsx, 4 setup scripts, DB migration

MultiClaw v1.0.1

What's New

Added

• Agent authentication for memory API endpoints (X-API-Key alongside JWT)
• requireAuthOrAgent middleware for dual auth support
• agent role in RBAC with task execution permissions
• Python memory client (multi-claw-agent/src/memory.py) for shared state and knowledge
• Auto-creation of management API keys when agents are registered, spawned, or docker-spawned
• Auto-generated admin password on first startup when ADMIN_PASSWORD is not set
• Improved agent stop/start with port-based process detection fallback

Fixed

• Memory API endpoints blocked by delegation router middleware ordering
• hasPermission return type coerced to boolean
• Dashboard default port changed from 3000 to 3100 to avoid conflicts
• Registration no longer grants first user admin role (admin seeded via seed-admin)
• Agent stop button visibility for externally-started agents
• Settings link moved to top-right nav for consistency

Changed

• Default admin email set to admin@multiclaw.dev when not configured
• Documentation updated for admin account seeding and CORS defaults
• Tests directory excluded from git tracking
