I wonder if you would want to publish your plugin as an npm package instead? I have not looked at the code but seems like if you only use the plugin API, it should be doable. |

And any API changes needed I am more than happy to merge to make PI WEB easier to extend |
Adds a bundled "Ideas" workspace panel that lets users capture short
ideas, run each one in a new git worktree + Pi session, and mark them
done. State lives in .pi-web/ideas.json.
Plugin (pi-web-plugins/workspace-ideas):
- Captures ideas, persists them in .pi-web/ideas.json via public
WorkspaceFiles.writeFile.
- Warns if .pi-web/ is not gitignored, offers one-click fix.
- Run starts a Pi session in a fresh idea worktree via
WorkspacePanelSessions.startWithPrompt({ newWorkspace, ideaId }).
- Done archives the idea and keeps a link to its session.
Core changes (minimal seams):
- WorkspaceFiles.writeFile in the public plugin API.
- WorkspacePanelSessions.startWithPrompt seam to start a session in a
new idea worktree without changing focus and refresh host state.
- PUT /api/.../workspaces/:id/file and POST /api/.../idea-workspace
routes (path-escape guarded).
- .gitignore: ignore .pi-web/ in this repo.
Previously `git worktree add` ran with `-C project.path` and no start-point, so the new worktree was always based on the HEAD of the main worktree (usually main) regardless of which workspace the user had selected. Run it with `-C workspace.path` and an explicit `HEAD` start-point so the idea branch forks from the currently selected workspace's branch.
The Fix button silently swallowed write errors and never re-read the gitignore status, so the warning could stay visible after a failed or no-op write. Wrap fixGitignore in try/catch, re-load gitignore state from disk after writing, and show an explicit success or error status.

Problem
External PI WEB plugins need a small public API surface to persist workspace-local files and start a session from a workspace panel without relying on private
/api/...calls.The Workspace Ideas plugin now lives outside this repo in:
https://github.com/ZoRDoK/pi-web-plugins/tree/main/plugins/pi-ideas
Change
Add public seams needed by external workspace plugins:
WorkspaceFiles.writeFile(path, content)in the public plugin API.WorkspacePanelSessions.startWithPrompt(prompt, { newWorkspace, ideaId })returningWorkspacePanelSessionInfowith optionalworkspaceId.files.writeFileandsessions.startWithPrompt.HEAD.The bundled
workspace-ideasplugin source was moved out ofpi-web; it is now installable as a Pi package from the external plugin repository.Verification
npm run verify— typecheck, lint, knip, and 588 tests pass.
