feat(plugins): session process plugins stay running and hear the map - #1553
Adds session process plugins, as proposed in #1518: a process plugin with "session": true keeps one program running between its commands, so it can ask RustGIS for things at any time and hear when the map changes. A view of the map in a window of its own, such as RustPlanetX's 3D globe, can then stay linked to the map without the MCP relay. The relay is for agents the user turns on; a plugin never starts it.
The protocol, also in docs/plugins.md › Session plugins:
RustGIS starts the program the first time one of the plugin's commands runs, and writes {"session": {"abi", "plugin", "rustgis", "lang"}}.
Commands come as {"command": request, "id": n} and are answered {"ok"|"error", "id": n}.
The program sends host requests at any time, {"call": {...}, "id": "any"}; the answer carries the id back. They go through the same checks as a command's, within the plugin's permissions. Between commands, an edit is an undo step of its own named after the plugin, and host.fetch is refused, because it would make the app wait. The program can fetch for itself.
The desktop app sends {"event": "view", "view": {...}}, {"event": "layers"} (added, removed, reordered, renamed, shown or hidden, restyled, transparency, fields, features, web tile layers), {"event": "selection"} and {"event": "project"} (another project opened) when they change.
The channel is the program's own input and output: no port, no token file, nothing another program can join.
RustGIS stops the program, with what it started, when the plugin is turned off, removed or updated and when the app closes. The program's input closing (RustGIS gone, however it ended) is its sign to exit. A program that exits by itself is started again by the next command. On Linux and macOS what it left running is stopped too.
Left out on purpose:
A Windows job object, which would stop a globe even if the program detached from it. It needs windows-sys as a direct dependency, so it can follow separately. Until then, a Windows program must stop what it starts.
Tools still start the program once per run.
rustgis-cli and the Python package answer between-command requests only while a command runs, and send no events.
The view, layers, selection and project events replace polling.
host.features already answers GeoJSON in WGS 84, so no temporary file is needed.
The calls (map.goToXY, select.rows, layer.visibility, layer.transparency, group.add, layer.addDataText) are commands, run within edit. Two of them need more than edit: map.setTiles needs network and layer.addData needs files, the same rules as for any plugin.
A follow-up PR, since each is a new or wider host request:
host.layers with each layer's extent, opacity, group and kind, the web tile layers and the project.
A layer's symbology as a MapLibre style without writing a file.
A host request that renders one z/x/y tile of a raster layer in its RustGIS look.
This adds to the plugin interface (a manifest key, gated by minRustgisVersion), so per CONTRIBUTING it waits for a second maintainer's go-ahead before landing.
Testing
cargo xtask ci, the wasm32-unknown-unknown build of rustgis-web, and pre-commit run --all-files.
New tests run the test binary as a session program:
session_plugins_keep_one_program_running: the same program answers several commands; requests between commands; events; stop and restart; tools still per run.
session_plugins_that_end_or_fail_are_started_again: a quiet exit; a program it left running is stopped (fails without the fix); a crash names its last error; a hang is stopped; update and disable stop it.
session_plugins_ask_between_commands_and_hear_the_map (engine): reads leave no undo step; an edit is its own step; permission refusals and the host.fetch refusal go back to the program; layers, view and selection events.
process_manifests_are_checked: session only for process plugins.
Process plugins can stay running between commands, retain state, and receive map, layer, selection, and project change events on desktop.
Session plugins can make host requests between commands. Read-only requests avoid undo steps; permitted edits are undoable. host.fetch is unavailable between commands.
Map view information now includes camera bearing and pitch.
Sessions stop when a plugin is disabled, replaced, or unloaded, or when the app or CLI closes. They can restart when the plugin runs again.
Session log entries can include plugin attribution in JSON Lines and CSV exports; entries without attribution omit it from JSON Lines and show an empty CSV cell.
Documentation
Added guidance on session-plugin setup, permissions, events, compatibility, and log attribution.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Process plugins can now stay active across commands, handle host requests, and receive map-change events. The engine and desktop UI poll sessions. Project logs can record plugin attribution, and application shutdown and plugin lifecycle changes stop running sessions.
Changes: Session Process Plugins
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Session configuration and process transport crates/plugins/src/manifest.rs, crates/plugins/src/process.rs, crates/plugins/src/lib.rs
Process manifests and specifications add a default-false session setting. Process helpers provide reusable handles, wake callbacks, and queued-input tracking. Eligible non-tool calls use session::command; tools and non-session process plugins retain the existing call path.
The engine handles between-command requests, tracks map-state fingerprints, and sends view, layer, project, and selection events. The desktop UI polls sessions and installs a repaint callback. Tests cover requests, events, and undo behavior.
Plugin log attribution and retention crates/engine/src/project_log.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/sessionlog.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/project.rs, docs/user-guide/workspace.md
Log entries add optional plugin attribution. Plugin-attributed entries count toward the plugin retention limit, and entries merge only when command and attribution match. CSV exports, tests, and documentation cover attribution.
opengeos/RustGIS#1518 — Session plugins can make host requests and receive view, layer, selection, and project events. The run-scoped relay token described in the issue is not included.
opengeos/RustGIS#1202 — Session plugins can receive desktop layer-change events, but this change does not rerun commands or add web-app event support.
opengeos/RustGIS#1405 — The session manifest setting is validated as process-only. The broader release-selection and format work described in the issue is outside this change.
Persistent plugins still present material risks: queued edits can affect a newly opened project, and large requests can freeze the desktop. Resolve or explicitly accept these limitations before merging. CSV attribution and periodic session polling are now implemented.

Bug (confidence: high).mutates is true for every request from a plugin with edit, so guarded snapshots the project and, on Ok, pushes an undo step, clears redo and bumps the revision, even when the request only read. guarded (crates/engine/src/lib.rs ~1624) has no "nothing changed" check. A session program that calls a read command between commands, such as identify.featureInfo or any stats command, gets an empty step named after the plugin on every call. This clears the user's redo history and pushes real edits out of the undo limit. The new test only covers host.layers, which is in reads_only, so it misses this.
Suggested fix: take the flag from the command being run, the way refused() and Bridge::command already do.
Suggested change
let mutates = plugin.manifest.has(Permission::Edit);
let mutates = plugin.manifest.has(Permission::Edit)
Please add a regression test: an edit-permitted session plugin runs a read command between commands, and the undo label, redo stack and revision are unchanged.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 4e2f432: the undo step's flag now comes from the request (host.addLayer, or the command's own mutates). Regression: a map.extent request between commands leaves the undo depth and top step unchanged.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Bug (confidence: medium-high). A program's baseline is first recorded here, after the command that started it has returned. Any project change made during that command (for example, host.addLayer or select.rows from its first command) is therefore absorbed into the baseline and never sent as a layers or selection event. This happens again after every restart, because retain drops the entry once the program stops. docs/plugins.md says "changes the program made itself are told too", so this contradicts the docs.
Suggested fix: record the baseline before the command runs. In run_plugin, before self.guarded(...), if the plugin is a session plugin and has no plugin_seen entry, push (id, seen(self)). Add a test in which the first command adds a layer and the program receives a layers event.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 4e2f432: run_plugin notes the map before a session plugin's command when its program has no baseline yet, so what the first command changes is told. Regression: the first command adds a layer and the program hears layers.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Performance (confidence: medium). While any session program runs, this runs on the UI thread every frame. seen() serializes every layer's renderer and the tile list to JSON strings, hashes every selection vector and formats every field type, and view_of is computed twice per frame (once in seen, once in the loop below). The cost grows with layer count, symbology size and selection size, even when nothing changed.
Consider gating the layer and selection fingerprints on a cheap change counter (Session::revision, if every change goes through a command; verify this for direct UI edits), and computing view_of once per frame.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 4e2f432: view_of is computed once per frame, and the symbology, labels, fields and tile layers are fingerprinted again only after Session::revision changes (the Style pane's previews bump it too). What's left each frame is a few numbers per layer and the selection.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Bug / doc mismatch (confidence: medium). The doc says a program that stopped reading "misses" an event. The writer (process.rswriter) uses an unbounded channel(), though, so the events queue in memory while the program is busy. The desktop app sends a view event on every frame the view changes, so a program that stalls while the user pans grows without bound.
Suggested fix: coalesce pending events (keep one pending view, one layers, one selection, one project), or switch to a bounded queue that drops and notes what was dropped. Then fix the doc wording to match.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 4e2f432: the writer counts lines not yet written; while 16 or more wait, events are held with the latest of each kind replacing an earlier one, and sent once the program reads again. Replies to its requests are never held. Regression: 5,000 view events to a program that stops reading arrive as far fewer. Docs updated.
I reviewed the full PR diff (13 files), the new session.rs, the surrounding guarded, refused and process.rs code, and the prior-review file. There are no earlier review threads, so nothing was skipped as already raised.
Bugs
Between-command requests from a plugin with edit are always run as mutating. Any read command (for example identify.featureInfo or a stats command) therefore pushes an empty undo step, clears redo and bumps the revision. Commented inline. (crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:806, confidence: high)
The baseline for a newly started program is taken after its first command returns. Changes made during that command are never announced as events, which contradicts docs/plugins.md. Commented inline. (crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:901, confidence: medium-high)
event() queues events without bound while a program is not reading its input, but the doc says such a program "misses" them. Commented inline. (crates/plugins/src/session.rs:383, confidence: medium)
Security
No concrete vulnerability found. The new surface is that an edit-permitted program can change the project at any time, without a user action. Permissions are granted at install time, so this may be intended. Maintainers may want a notice the first time a session plugin changes the project in the background, or a line in the docs. (confidence: low)
Performance
seen() runs on the UI thread every frame while a session program runs. It serializes all layer renderers and tiles to JSON and hashes every selection. Commented inline. (crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:898, confidence: medium)
poll() has a 64-line budget per frame but no time budget. Each line can be a heavy host request, such as host.features on a large layer, so a program can stall several frames in a row. (confidence: low-medium)
Quality
rustgis-python loads session plugins but never calls stop_all(). The docs say RustGIS stops programs when the app closes, so for Python that relies on the program exiting on EOF. (confidence: low)
The module doc in session.rs lists the events view | layers | selection and leaves out project. (confidence: high, nit)
On overflow, poll() logs TooLong to the log only. The user sees "stopped unexpectedly" with no reason. (confidence: medium, nit)
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect, panic! or unsafe in the new non-test code. The one catch_unwind is on the same last-resort pattern used elsewhere.
The wasm gates look right: session is non-wasm, ui-egui calls the poll only in the non-wasm block, and Seen is compiled on all targets.
Engine notices are plain format! strings, consistent with the rest of the engine, so the tl! rule does not apply here.
The "policy scope" ingress rule in AGENTS.md does not appear in this codebase (with_scope finds nothing), so I did not check against it.
Gap: the new test covers only host.layers, which is in reads_only. Neither the read-with-edit path nor the first-command baseline has a test.
I did not compile or run the tests, because there is no Bash tool in this session. The findings come from reading the code.

Review comments at @crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:
- Around line 848-849: Update the layer fingerprint computation around the
`l.renderer` serialization so changes to raster renderer state and layer labels
also affect the fingerprint. Include the relevant raster and label data in the
hash while preserving the existing tracked fields and renderer hashing.
- Around line 613-617: Gate the `reads_only` method in `Bridge` with a non-wasm
target configuration so it is compiled only where its caller is available. Keep
the existing method logic unchanged.
- Line 848: Update the layer fingerprint hashed in the plugin event path so undo
snapshot restoration changes it even when geometry_rev matches the edited layer.
Include geometry content or another restoration-sensitive value in addition to
geometry_rev, while preserving the existing fingerprint fields.
- Around line 806-810: Update the mutation flag passed to self.s.guarded in the
plugin command flow to use the requested operation’s mutation behavior instead
of Permission::Edit from plugin.manifest. Preserve the existing guard and
request_only handling.
- Around line 807-814: Update the plugin request handling in `guarded` so
project changes made between commands are recorded as standalone requests in the
session log. Reuse the log’s existing redaction and plugin-limit behavior, and
preserve the current undo-step behavior for changed projects.
- Around line 792-796: Update the plugin bridge around Bridge.call so session
plugin layer.addUrl requests made between commands never wait for a download on
the frame thread. Defer the download using an established asynchronous path or
refuse the request safely; preserve the existing behavior for other bridge
operations.
Review comments at @crates/engine/src/lib.rs:
- Around line 756-758: On wasm32, the `plugin_seen` field is unread and triggers
a `dead_code` warning; add a wasm32-specific `dead_code` allowance to that field
while preserving its existing behavior on other targets.
Review comments at @crates/plugins/src/lib.rs:
- Around line 407-408: Update the session plugin process path in the
Code::Process match arm and session::command so process lookup and request
handling are scoped by both the owning engine Session and plugin ID. Ensure
requests from one Session cannot be handled by a process associated with another
Session.
Review comments at @crates/plugins/src/process.rs:
- Around line 183-189: Update all session exit paths that call kill_left_behind
to keep the child unreaped until process-group cleanup completes; ensure
try_wait or equivalent reaping cannot occur before cleanup, so the group ID
cannot be reused before SIGKILL is sent.
Review comments at @crates/plugins/src/session.rs:
- Around line 267-270: Check the deadline at the start of each loop iteration
before calling `r.rx.recv_timeout`. When it has expired, stop the session
program and return the existing timeout error; preserve the current receive
handling for iterations before the deadline.
- Line 377: Update the `poll` logic that sets `out.ended.failed` to also report
failure when shutdown forcibly stops the process after it outlives `END_GRACE`.
Track the forced-stop outcome and include it in the failure determination while
preserving the existing status-based failure behavior.
- Around line 383-387: Bound pending events in the session event flow around
event and process::send so a stalled stdin reader cannot cause unbounded growth.
Keep event submission nonblocking for the UI, and apply the bound only to
map-change events; preserve command replies rather than dropping them. Reuse or
establish a bounded queue policy that maintains the required delivery behavior
for map changes.
- Around line 104-108: Update the session tracking around take and RUNNING so
sessions held by commands or polls remain discoverable to concurrent stops and
cannot be started again while busy. Coordinate stop and start attempts with the
current session owner, and ensure a session’s final state is reconciled after
the operation completes rather than restoring it to RUNNING after an update or
stop.
- Around line 154-156: Update the stderr capture path that feeds Kept to log
each stderr line as it arrives during the session, while preserving the bounded
retained output and ensuring last_error still reports the final retained
diagnostic on failure.
Review comments at @crates/plugins/src/tests.rs:
- Around line 1141-1142: Move the call to crate::call using command("l") and the
subsequent poll_until session-end check inside the existing #[cfg(unix)] block.
Keep the descendant PID assertion in that block so the cleanup check runs only
on Unix.
- Around line 1169-1171: Update the test around `set_enabled`,
`session::is_running`, and `unload` to re-enable the plugin and restart its
session before unloading. Assert that unloading removes the plugin from the
registry and stops the session, so the test exercises the unload stop hook while
a session is running.
Review comments at @crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs:
- Around line 4618-4621: Update the background read completion path around
drop_read and map.invalidate to request a repaint through app.frame_ctx when a
frame context is available, so newly added layers are processed without waiting
for another repaint.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 6 remain after this review.
The three inline bugs and the performance point are fixed, each with a regression test. That includes tests for the read-with-edit path and for the first command's baseline. See the inline replies.
Unattended edits: the docs now say that between commands each change is an undo step named after the plugin and an entry in the session log, so a background edit can be found and undone. Session plugins are process plugins, already marked Not sandboxed at install.
No time budget in poll(): left as it is. A host request between commands costs what the same request costs during a command, and the 64-line budget matches the relay's per-frame handling.
Python: a program learns RustGIS is gone when its input closes, and the docs require it to exit then. That covers Python, rustgis-cli and a crash alike.
Module doc missing project, and the reason for an overflow stop not shown: left for the release quality pass.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Bug (confidence: medium-high). The Permission::Edit gate makes mutates false for any session plugin without edit, even for a mutating command it is allowed to run. guarded takes its undo snapshot only when mutates is true (crates/engine/src/lib.rs ~1629), so a plugin with files or network that runs layer.addData (registry effect Files, mutating by default) or map.setTiles between commands gets:
no undo step, although docs/plugins.md says each change is one;
no rollback when the command fails part way;
no edited_streamed check (lib.rs ~1662), which runs only when a snapshot exists.
The same command run as one of the plugin's commands is treated as mutating (cmd.mutates() in Bridge::command), so the two paths disagree. The permission check in authorize already refuses what the plugin may not do, and guarded(true) restores the snapshot on that refusal, so the gate isn't needed.
Suggested fix:
Suggested change
let mutates =
let mutates = op == "host.addLayer" || self.s.registry.get(op).is_some_and(|c| c.mutates);
Regression test: a session plugin with files (no edit) runs layer.addData on a readable file between commands and expects undo_label() to be that step. Another one with edit only is refused and leaves the undo history unchanged.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Not a bug: since #1461 the policy refuses a mutating command to a plugin without edit, whatever other permission it has. Checked on this head: a files-only session plugin asking layer.addData on a readable file between commands gets "needs the 'edit' permission to run 'layer.addData'", and nothing changes. So every command that passes the gate here mutates only for a plugin with edit, and guarded snapshots it. map.setTiles is the same (edit and network).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Nit (left for the release quality pass if you prefer): this module doc lists the events as view, layers and selection, but the app also sends {"event": "project"} (another project opened, crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rspoll_plugin_sessions). Adding it here keeps the protocol doc complete.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Nit: the doc comment of shut has two conflicting summaries. Line 150 says it returns the last error line; line 152 says it returns the exit status. Keep one sentence per fact. The function returns (Option<ExitStatus>, Option<String>), so the doc should name both values in order.
Undo gate uses Edit permission, not the command's own flag (crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:650, medium-high confidence). Between commands, a session plugin that has files or network but not edit runs mutating commands such as layer.addData or map.setTiles with mutates = false. Those edits get no undo snapshot, no rollback on failure, and skip the streamed-layer check. The same command run as a normal plugin command is treated as mutating, so the two paths disagree. Suggested fix is in the inline comment; it needs a regression test with a files-only plugin.
Security
No new findings. Between-command host requests run under the plugin's narrowed authority, host.fetch is refused there, and the new events carry no attribute values.
Performance
The per-frame fingerprint in seen() still hashes every selected index and every layer's fields each frame. An earlier thread raised this and it is partly addressed, so I left it alone.
Quality (grouped nits, posted inline)
The session.rs module doc omits the project event (crates/plugins/src/session.rs:12).
The shut doc comment has two conflicting summary lines (crates/plugins/src/session.rs:150-152).
AGENTS.md
No violations found. Wasm gating is correct: the new poll_plugin_sessions call in ui-egui sits inside the native-only block. No unwrap/expect/unsafe was added to non-test code. Interned leak() avoids a per-call leak.
Prior reviews: I checked the 22 existing threads. Most are addressed by the current code or by the author's reply on the undo flag. I left alone the ones still open and already raised: the unanswered forced-stop-reported-as-no-failure design choice, process-group and session-identity concerns, the geometry undo fingerprint, and the per-frame cost. Those are unchanged in substance.
Verified: I read the full diff and the new tests against the implementation, and checked the guarded snapshot logic, the layer.addData mutating flag, and the CLI and desktop shutdown paths. I did not build or run the tests, since I have no shell.

Possible silent loss of a program's last lines (confidence: medium-low).poll takes Empty from the channel and then checks process::exited. The reader thread may not have delivered lines the program wrote just before exiting, because they can still be in the pipe. In that case ended is set, shut drops rx, and those lines (a final call, log or answer) are discarded without a notice.
Suggested fix: when the program has exited, read what remains of r.rx until Line::End or a short timeout, handle those lines, then call shut. Please add a test where the program writes a request and exits at once.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in fceea3d: when poll finds the program gone, it reads what is left of its output (until the end, or a moment) before shutting it, handling a last request or log line; answers to an exited program are skipped. The new step in session_plugins_that_end_or_fail_are_started_again covers a program that sends a request and a log line and exits at once; the race itself can't be forced in a test.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
stop can freeze the app thread for the full grace period (confidence: medium-low, performance).stop is reached from disable, update, unload and stop_all-style paths on the frame thread. shut(r, EXIT_GRACE) loops in process::end for up to 3 s when the program ignores its closed input. Each running program adds its own 3 s, one after another.
Moving the wait to a detached thread would avoid the freeze, but the session tests assert that the old pid is gone right after stop, so a plain thread::spawn would make them flaky. Better to keep the wait synchronous and shorten the grace on the UI paths, or to have the tests wait for the pid to go. Left as a design question for the author.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in fceea3d: turning a plugin off, removing or updating it gives its program 1 s (STOP_GRACE), not 3; a program that exits on its closed input, as the docs require, ends at once. Closing the app keeps the shared 3 s.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Python embedding never stops session programs (confidence: medium).stop_all is called only from rustgis-cli and the desktop app's on_exit. apps/rustgis-python has no teardown hook (no stop_all, atexit or Drop), so a session program started by a Python run is left alone when the interpreter exits. Its input closes at process exit, which lets a well-behaved program leave, but on Linux and macOS whatever it started is not stopped. That breaks the docs' "on Linux and macOS, what a program left running is stopped too" for Python users.
Suggested fix: register rustgis_engine::plugins::session::stop_all() in the Python package at exit (for example atexit), or say in docs/plugins.md that the Python package doesn't stop session programs.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in the docs in fceea3d: the guarantee is now "while RustGIS runs". Once RustGIS has gone (an embedding Python interpreter exiting, a crash), nothing of it is left to stop anything, and the docs already require the program to exit and stop what it started when its input closes.

AGENTS.md: a new visible notice without screenshots (confidence: low-medium). The PR says "No visible UI change", but this adds a toast (" stopped unexpectedly: …") that users will see. AGENTS.md asks for screenshots for any visible change. Please add a before/after screenshot of the notice, or justify why it doesn't count as visible.

No change: it's an ordinary notice through Session::notify, shown like every other error notice in the status bar; no element of the interface changes.
crates/plugins/src/session.rs:360: when poll finds the channel empty and the program has exited, lines still in the pipe are dropped without a notice, so a program's final request or log line can be lost. Confidence: medium-low.
Security
No confirmed findings. Between-command requests run with the plugin's own scope and permissions, and mutations go through undo and the session log. Reads are neither logged nor announced, so a files or network permission can now be used with no user action. Confidence: low, a design question rather than a defect.
Performance
crates/plugins/src/session.rs:186: stop (disable, update, unload) can block the UI thread for the full 3 s grace per running program, if the program ignores its closed input. Confidence: medium-low. A detached thread would make the session tests flaky, so this needs a design choice.
Quality
crates/plugins/src/session.rs:192: the Python package never calls stop_all, so on Linux and macOS a session program started from Python can keep the children it started running after the interpreter exits. This contradicts the doc's guarantee. Confidence: medium.
AGENTS.md
crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:782: the PR says "No visible UI change", but it adds a user-visible notice, and AGENTS.md asks for screenshots of visible changes. Confidence: low-medium.
I checked the wasm gating of the new ui-egui calls, the guarded panic handling, the minRustgisVersion gate, and the plugin re-entrancy guard, and found no problems there. The 24 earlier review threads are left alone, none re-raised. The one still-open point is the try_wait fallback in exited() on the waitid error path, which the author has not answered.

Re-raised with new evidence (confidence: high): a between-command layer.addUrl can block the app's frame thread.
The earlier reply says the desktop leaves downloads to the app through leave_downloads. That flag is set only by with_deferred_downloads (engine/src/lib.rs ~1325), which run_leaving_downloads uses. The desktop calls poll_plugin_sessions directly from ui-egui/src/lib.rs:4915, with no wrapper, so leave_downloads stays false here. add_url_as_given then reaches download_blocking (cmd/layer.rs ~3352), which waits up to BLOCKING_TIMEOUT (60 s) on the frame thread. A session plugin with edit and network can trigger this on every poll. The run_leaving_downloads doc comment says this path is meant to avoid exactly that freeze.
Suggested fix: run the poll under the deferred mode, so the request is answered as pending and the app downloads it off the frame:
Suggested change
let polled = session::poll(&id, &mut Between { s: self, plugin: plugin.clone() });
let polled = self.with_deferred_downloads(|s| session::poll(&id, &mut Between { s, plugin: plugin.clone() }));
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
You're right, and my earlier reply was wrong: leave_downloads is only set inside with_deferred_downloads, and the frame's poll didn't use it. Fixed in fce9a94: poll_plugin_sessions runs each program's requests under with_deferred_downloads, so a between-command layer.addUrl answers pending and the app downloads it off the frame. Regression session_plugin_downloads_between_commands_are_left_to_the_app fails without it.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Re-raised with new evidence (confidence: medium-high): session stderr is silently cut to 20 lines, so it isn't fully logged.
The earlier reply says each poll logs the error output since the last one. But errors() (crates/plugins/src/process.rs ~159) still keeps only the last 20 lines and pop_fronts the rest with no count and no log line. This drain only sees what survived that cap. That breaks the "never silent" rule. The loss is also likelier than a per-frame burst suggests: the stderr reader never wakes the app, unlike lines(), so while the app is idle nothing polls. A 25-line traceback that arrives while idle keeps only its last 20 lines.
Suggested fix: have the stderr reader call the wake callback as lines() does, and count what the cap drops, so this function can report "N earlier error lines not kept". Add a test with more than 20 stderr lines between polls.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Right, fixed in fce9a94: the error-output reader counts the lines it lets go past the 20 it keeps, and the log says how many weren't kept; it also wakes the app as lines arrive, so output written while the app is idle is logged. Regression error_output_past_what_is_kept_is_counted.
I read the full diff, checked the prior threads, and traced the call paths I was unsure about in the repo. I found two issues that earlier threads raised, where the author's reply does not match the code. I also found one design concern, and a few smaller points.
Bugs
Between-command layer.addUrl can freeze the desktop UI (re-raised; confidence high). The author's reply says the desktop leaves downloads to the app through leave_downloads. That flag is set only by with_deferred_downloads. poll_plugin_sessions runs from ui-egui/src/lib.rs:4915 without that wrapper. So a session plugin with edit and network can make layer.addUrl reach download_blocking on the frame thread, which can wait up to 60 s. Inline suggestion posted on crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:782.
Security
None found. Session programs get the plugin's own permissions, host.fetch is refused between commands, and the program's channel is its own stdin and stdout.
Performance
Frame cost while a session runs (already raised; not re-raised). Each frame still hashes every selection vector, and the symbology is re-serialized at least once a second. The author accepted this in the reply.
Quality
Stderr is silently cut to 20 lines (re-raised; confidence medium-high).errors() in process.rs drops older lines with no count. The stderr reader also never wakes the app, so the loss is most likely while the app is idle. Inline comment posted on crates/plugins/src/session.rs:170. The inline comment on process.rs:159 failed because that line is unchanged context outside the diff.
Nits, which may wait for the release quality pass: let mut reply = reply; in testing.rsserve_session can become let mut reply = match …, and a few long lines in docs/plugins.md.
AGENTS.md
Feedback loops are unguarded (design concern; confidence medium). A program with edit that answers each layers or view event with an edit that changes the fingerprint will loop at frame rate. Each edit is an undo step, and UNDO_LIMIT is 40, so the user's history is evicted within 40 frames. The docs warn about this only for view. Consider a per-program rate limit on between-command edits.
Engine notice is an untranslated format! ("{} stopped unexpectedly…"). The engine has no tl! or i18n at all, so this is probably consistent with existing engine notices. Low confidence.
Checked and fine: no unwrap/expect/panic/indexing in non-test code, the new UI call is inside the non-wasm block, Session::notify is used for notices, leak interns its strings, and the new LogEntry.plugin field is not part of a saved file.
Earlier concerns: 34 threads are on this PR. I re-raised 2 (the addUrl freeze and the stderr cap). I left the other 32 alone because they were already fixed, declined with a reason I accept, or deferred. For the process-group thread, the code does not reap on the error path, so I did not re-raise it.

Bug (confidence: medium-high): a session program's failure is dropped when the restart path runs.
poll(plugin, host) returns a Polled whose ended says whether the program failed (non-zero exit, a line too long, or a stop for flooding). Here it is discarded, so poll_plugin_sessions never sees the Ended and never calls notify. The user gets no "stopped unexpectedly" notice, only a log::info! line. This breaks the "never silent" rule. The CLI is worse: it never calls poll_plugin_sessions, so this is the only place a crashed program is noticed.
Two related losses on the same path:
poll stops after POLL_BATCH (64) lines, so anything the exited program wrote beyond that is dropped by the shut that follows, unhandled and unlogged.
last_error from shut is also lost, so the next command's error doesn't name the failure.
Suggested direction: have command record the Ended (and any unread lines) in a shared queue, such as a staticMutex<Vec<(String, Ended)>> drained by poll_plugin_sessions and by the CLI, so the failure is reported through Session::notify on the next poll. Add a test: a program that exits with status 3 after answering, then a command starts it again, and the notice is still produced.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Right, fixed in aa621a8: before a session plugin's command runs, a program that exited since is answered through the between-commands path (all of what it sent, a batch at a time), and a failure is said for that plugin; a command that still finds it exited (a race) keeps how it ended for the engine to say after the command, so rustgis-cli hears of it too. Regression a_session_program_found_failed_by_a_command_is_said (exit status 3 after answering, then another command, no poll).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Performance (confidence: medium, partly open from an earlier thread). The earlier fix moved the symbology and tile fingerprint behind Session::revision. The selection fingerprint is still hashed every frame while a session program runs: (l.id, &l.selection).hash(h) walks every selected row index of every layer that has a selection, so a 500k-row selection costs a full pass per frame. Layer fields, features and view are cheap, so only this one needs a fix.
Suggested direction: gate the selection hash on a change counter for selections, or cache it with the same once-per-frame reuse as styled. If selections don't go through revision (for example, a direct map_mut() edit), the 1-second refresh covers them, as it does for styling.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
AGENTS.md: "Never silent" (confidence: medium). Re-raised with new reasoning.
This field is what the CSV export drops. The CSV header and write_entry (project_log.rs ~616) have no plugin column, so a row for a between-command host.addLayer or select.rows from a plugin looks the same as the user's own. The JSON export keeps it. AGENTS.md says a writer that drops data must say what it dropped. The earlier answer, "a format and an interface addition of their own", doesn't cover that: the attribution is already in the entry, and the CSV drops it without a notice.
Options: add a plugin column to the CSV, or have the export notice say how many entries carry an attribution the CSV leaves out. Add a test for both the clean case and the lossy one.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fair, fixed in aa621a8: the CSV export has a plugin column (empty for the user's own entries), so nothing in the entry is dropped; docs updated. The export test checks both an attributed row and a clean one.
A session program's failure is dropped on the restart path (medium-high). In command(), poll(plugin, host) returns Polled and the result is discarded. A non-zero exit or a too-long line is therefore never reported through Session::notify, and the CLI, which never polls, never reports it at all. Lines beyond the 64-line poll batch are also dropped unhandled. Inline comment posted at crates/plugins/src/session.rs:288.
Security
No new issues found. Between-command requests go through as_session_plugin with the plugin's authority pinned, the host.fetch refusal holds, and the mutating path is covered by guarded's catch_unwind. I did not fully trace the policy-scope nesting rules, so treat that part as unverified.
Performance
Selection hashed on every frame while a session runs (medium).seen() still walks every selected row index each frame. The earlier fix only moved styling behind Session::revision. Inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:756.
Quality
No findings beyond the nits below.
AGENTS.md
The CSV export drops plugin attribution (medium). This is a re-raise with new reasoning: the earlier answer deferred the column, but the AGENTS.md "Never silent" rule covers a writer that drops data. Inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/project_log.rs:474. The CSV header is at about line 616, which is outside the diff, so the comment is anchored to the new field instead.
Checked and found addressed in the current head. I did not repost these:
The stderr 20-line cap is now counted and logged, and errors() wakes the app.
The layer.addUrl frame-thread download is covered by with_deferred_downloads around poll.
The undo-step gating, the session-log attribution and limit, and the mutating-flag fixes are all in place.
The reply and event backlog limits and the wasm dead-code allowances are in place.
Nits (left for the release quality pass)
The shut doc comment has two summaries.
The session.rs module doc omits the project event.
The poll()Err(_) if gone arm swallows the error without a log line.
Earlier concerns left alone: about 45 threads were already raised. I re-raised two of them and left the rest, which are either fixed in the head or answered by the author with reasoning I didn't find new evidence against.

Running owns the Child without an unwind cleanup mechanism. command and poll temporarily remove Running from RUNNING, so a panic from a Host callback can drop the process handle without calling shut or returning it to the registry.
The plugin process can remain alive outside session tracking, or exit without being reaped; subsequent commands can start another process.
This can occur when: A Host::call, Host::log, or Host::progress implementation panics while command or poll owns the running process, and an outer engine boundary catches the panic.

Bug (confidence: medium). The drain stops after DRAIN_BATCHES (16 × 64 = 1024) lines, so the comment "All of it" is wrong. If an exited program has more lines queued, the rest are dropped by shut without a notice. The same drain runs through the command's own Bridge, so those requests join the new command's undo step and are rolled back if it fails. The program is also reported as failed: true even when it exited cleanly, so the user sees a false "stopped unexpectedly".
The suggestion below fixes the false failure: it takes the failure from the real exit status. The 1024-line cap still needs its own fix, either by draining until Line::End or by letting the app drain between commands.

Fixed in 689b871. The engine's drain before a session plugin's command is the main path. It answers an exited program through the between-commands path, so its edits are steps of their own; its bound is now 256 batches (DRAIN_BATCHES). That only matters when something the program left running keeps its output open and writing. The command's own drain is the fallback for a race. When output is still coming past the bound, the program is stopped (with what it left running) and the log says the rest wasn't read. Whether it failed now comes from its exit status, as suggested.
A program writing without pause can't keep a command from being sent: setting aside what
arrived before it is bounded like the drain of an exited program; past the bound, what the
program sends is read with the command.
A program a command starts (none running, or the last one gone) takes the map as it is then,
not what an earlier program was last told: no events for what changed before it started.

Performance (confidence: medium-high). The symbology cache is keyed on Session::revision, but guarded() bumps that revision on every call (crates/engine/src/lib.rs ~1795), including non-mutating ones. A session program that drives the view with map.goToXY (effects NONE, so no undo step, yet not in reads_only) therefore invalidates the cache on every request. If it does that per frame, seen() re-serializes every layer's renderer, labels, strokes, fills, raster style and tile list each frame, and re-hashes the selection, even though no styling changed.
Suggested direction: don't let non-mutating requests invalidate styled. For example, key it on a counter that only mutating commands and the Style pane's edits bump, and keep the 1-second refresh as the backstop for changes made without a command. This needs an audit of where style changes are made.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 221a67f: the symbology and selection fingerprints are cached on the project's Session::state, which edits change (and undo moves back) but reads and moves of the view, such as map.goToXY, don't; the one-second refresh stays the backstop for anything changed without a command, as the Style pane's live previews are.

Resource bound (confidence: low-medium). The set-aside is bounded by line count only (POLL_BATCH * DRAIN_BATCHES = 16,384 lines), not by bytes. Each line can be up to MAX_LINE (256 MB), and MAX_QUEUED_BYTES covers only replies RustGIS writes, not lines it holds. The loop keeps popping while the reader thread keeps refilling the channel, so a program writing large lines fast during the gap between the pre-command poll and the command write can make RustGIS hold a lot of memory.
Suggested fix: also stop the drain once the lines held pass a byte budget (for example MAX_QUEUED_BYTES), leaving the rest in the channel so the pipe applies backpressure. Add a test with large lines written during that gap.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Moot in 221a67f: the set-aside is gone (see the reply on the deadlock it caused), so nothing is held beyond what the channel and the pipe hold, which keep their backpressure.
Nothing new that I could confirm. The exited-program path in command() (crates/plugins/src/session.rs:370) still answers the program's pending requests with the command's own host, so they join that command's undo step. This was raised earlier and the author answered it as a fallback, so I left it alone. (confidence: medium-low, narrow race)
Security
Nothing new. Session programs act unattended within the permissions granted at install. That design question was raised and answered earlier, so I left it alone.
Performance
crates/engine/src/cmd/plugins.rs:770: guarded() bumps Session::revision on every call, including non-mutating ones such as map.goToXY. The symbology cache is keyed on that revision, so a program that drives the view per frame makes seen() re-serialize all layer symbology every frame. (confidence: medium-high)
Quality
crates/plugins/src/session.rs:398: the set-aside before a command is bounded by line count (16,384), not bytes. Each line can be up to 256 MB, so a fast writer during the gap can make RustGIS hold a lot of memory. (confidence: low-medium)
AGENTS.md
The PR changes platform-specific code (rustix::process::waitid, kill_process_group, the Windows try_wait/kill_tree paths), but PR CI runs on Linux only. AGENTS.md asks for a ci:macos / ci:windows / ci:full label on such changes before merge. (confidence: medium that this applies)
Checked and left alone: 109 earlier review threads were on this PR. I re-raised none of them as-is. The two inline comments above are new, and I did not repost the earlier concerns on the command drain, Python teardown, CSV columns, event coalescing, or the permission design.
I did not run the build or tests; this review is by reading the staged diff and the working tree.

…ology cache keyed on edits
- The set-aside of what arrived just before a command is taken back out: a program that waits
for its reply before reading the command would never read it. The engine's drain before each
command still answers what was sent until then as between commands.
- The symbology and selection fingerprints are cached on the project's state, which edits
change and reads or view moves (map.goToXY) don't, with the one-second refresh kept.

Portability risk (confidence: low-medium, not verified).exited() and end() now call rustix::process::waitid on every Unix target. I could not confirm offline that rustix exposes waitid on macOS (or the BSDs). This PR's CI runs Linux only; macOS and Windows run on push to main, so a compile break there would surface only after merge. Please check with ci:macos before merging, or gate the waitid path to the targets where it exists and keep the try_wait fallback elsewhere.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Checked: the ci:macos label ran the macOS Rust tests on a875b1d (rust / Test (macos-latest): success), with this waitid path; rustix compiles waitid on every target but Cygwin, Horizon, OpenBSD, Redox and WASI. RustGIS builds for Linux, macOS and Windows (where the path is cfg(unix)-gated off), not the BSDs.
I read the full diff against the repository guidelines and checked it against the prior review threads. Most concerns raised so far were already addressed in the PR or deliberately deferred by the maintainer, so I did not re-raise them. I read the first ~40 prior threads in full and checked the rest by path and line index only.
Bugs
No new high-confidence defects found. I checked the drain-before-command ordering, the undo-step boundaries between commands, the event coalescing, the reaping and PID-reuse handling in end()/exited(), and the Ended notice paths. The one candidate I looked at, a re-entrant start of the same plugin's program, is not reachable: Bridge::command refuses plugin: ids from plugins.
Security
No new issues. Session requests go through as_session_plugin and the same policy checks as a command, host.fetch is refused between commands, and the plugin's is_current check runs first.
Performance
Nothing new beyond the per-second fingerprint cache already discussed in the threads.
Quality
Nothing new worth raising beyond the threads already open.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect, panic! or unsafe in non-test code. Test-only panics are allowed by #[allow(clippy::panic)].
Notices use format!, which matches the existing engine pattern. The i18n::fmt rule applies to UI text, so I did not flag this.
No new dependency; rustix with the process feature was already present.
Open question (posted inline, low-medium confidence)
crates/plugins/src/process.rs:212: rustix::process::waitid is now used on every Unix target. I could not confirm it exists on macOS or the BSDs. PR CI is Linux only, so a break there would only show after merge. Please run ci:macos before merging.
Prior concerns I left alone because they were already raised: about 40 in the threads I read in full, plus those I saw only by index.

…roject state
- The selection fingerprint has its own cache, keyed on the revision a selection command bumps;
the symbology stays keyed on the project's state.
- Docs: whether a request is part of a command depends on when RustGIS handles it.

Never silent (confidence: medium-low).flush discards the result of r.stdin.send(&e), and poll calls flush the same way. The writer thread returns on its first failed write and drops its receiver, so every later send fails too. Once the program closes its input while still running, events are dropped with no notice. The session also stays in RUNNING indefinitely, because poll only notices exit from output EOF or exited(), and an event-only program never reaches the handle error path that sets gone.
Related: when that write-failure path does end the program, shut sets reason = "it closed its output but kept running" (line 562). The cause was its input, so that reason is wrong.
Suggested direction: have flush report failure, and when a send fails, mark the program as input-closed so the next poll ends it with a reason naming the input (for example "it closed its input while running"). Then say_session_ended will say it. A test would have a stub close its stdin while it keeps running, then check for the notice.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 66369fc: a failed write to the program (an event, or the answer to its request) marks its input closed; the next poll stops a program that's still running then, with "it stopped reading its input while running" in the notice, and a program stopped after the grace for that reason gets that reason, not the one about its output. One that exits is still ended quietly. No test: the test program would have to close its own standard input while running, which needs unsafe here.
No new blocking bugs found. I checked the new command(), poll(), end(), exited(), and Between paths against the engine (guarded, in_scope, leak, Bridge::command's plugin: refusal). The panic, scope, and reentrancy paths are sound.
Writes that discard errors when a session program closes its input but keeps running. Events are dropped silently and the session stays running. Posted inline at crates/plugins/src/session.rs:586. Confidence: medium-low.
Security
No new issues in the diff. The unattended network/files concern was already raised and answered by the maintainer as a design call, so I left it alone.
Performance
seen() re-serializes every layer's renderer, labels, strokes, and fills once a second while a session runs. This is bounded but is frame-thread work. Confidence: low.
Quality
seen() turns serialization failures into empty strings with unwrap_or_default(), so a failure would hide a restyle instead of reporting it. Confidence: low.
reads_only and Between::call duplicate the catch_unwind that handle() already applies. This is harmless but redundant. Confidence: low.
AGENTS.md
Non-test code adds no unwrap, expect, panic!, or unsafe. Every unwrap in the diff is in test code.
The new ui-egui block is inside the non-wasm cfg. Spec.session and Code::Process are behind the non-wasm cfg, so the wasm build is unaffected.
Engine notices use plain format!, which matches existing practice in the engine.
Test coverage matches the "test both ways" rule for the notices, the CSV plugin column, and the log limits.
Already raised, left alone: I left about 36 open threads from earlier rounds alone, because the code they point at is unchanged and the maintainer answered them.

…ed, and that's said
A failed write to the program (an event, an answer) marks its input closed; the next poll
stops one still running with "it stopped reading its input while running", instead of keeping
it as running while nothing reaches it, and that reason replaces the one about its output.
The selection fingerprint is also taken again at least every second (a streamed layer's window
can change it without a command); docs: a request sent after answering is a separate step
likely, not certain.

Compatibility (confidence: medium-low). The new plugin column is inserted before project, so every existing CSV export row moves its project value from column 8 to column 9. Anyone who reads this export by position (a spreadsheet macro, a script that uses cut -f8) gets the wrong field after upgrading, and nothing says so.
Appending the column after project keeps every existing column where it was. The header here and the write_entry row (csv_cell(e.plugin…) before csv_cell(&e.project)) would both move the new cell to the end. The sessionlog.rs test that checks the header prefix would need the same change.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
No released export has project in column 8: the project column came in #1583, after v0.6.0, whose CSV ends at params. So both new columns arrive together in the next release, and every column a released export has stays where it was in either order. Leaving the order as it is.
I read the full diff and the prior threads. Most of what I checked was already covered by earlier review rounds, and the author has answered or fixed most of it. I found one new issue and posted it inline. I did not read the last ~1,200 lines of prior-reviews.json, so a few threads there may overlap with what I left alone.
Bugs
No new bugs beyond those already raised. I traced the between-command drain, the command() path, the frame poll, end()/exited(), the writer backlog and the undo-step flags. I found no new defect that is both reachable and not already discussed.
Security
No new issues. Plugin programs cannot re-enter their own commands (plugin: ids are refused), and between-command requests run under the plugin's authority with host.fetch refused. The design question about session programs acting unattended is already open in the threads.
Performance
No new issues. Per-frame fingerprinting, the stderr wait and the 200 ms stop-grace stalls on the UI thread are already raised, and the author accepted them as bounded.
Quality
New, inline (confidence: medium-low): the session-log CSV puts the plugin column before project (crates/engine/src/project_log.rs:722). Positional readers of existing exports would then read the wrong field after upgrading. Appending the column at the end avoids this. Posted as an inline comment.
AGENTS.md
The new engine notices use format!, which matches how other engine notices are written, so I did not flag them.
No unwrap, expect, panic! or unsafe in non-test code. The panic! in the test host is in tests.rs.
Already raised, left alone (about 60 threads)
end() still checks waitid and then signals the group, leaving a small race window. Raised earlier, and it needs a concurrent reaper or SIGCHLD set to ignore. Confidence low.
Frame-path stalls (poll waits up to 200 ms when a program has exited; the stderr wait); broad layers fingerprint and cache behavior; minRustgisVersion not enforced; the session-log plugin attribution in CSV and History; the lack of a notice test for stop reasons.

Summary
Adds session process plugins, as proposed in #1518: a process plugin with
"session": truekeeps one program running between its commands, so it can ask RustGIS for things at any time and hear when the map changes. A view of the map in a window of its own, such as RustPlanetX's 3D globe, can then stay linked to the map without the MCP relay. The relay is for agents the user turns on; a plugin never starts it.The protocol, also in
docs/plugins.md› Session plugins:{"session": {"abi", "plugin", "rustgis", "lang"}}.{"command": request, "id": n}and are answered{"ok"|"error", "id": n}.{"call": {...}, "id": "any"}; the answer carries theidback. They go through the same checks as a command's, within the plugin's permissions. Between commands, an edit is an undo step of its own named after the plugin, andhost.fetchis refused, because it would make the app wait. The program can fetch for itself.{"event": "view", "view": {...}},{"event": "layers"}(added, removed, reordered, renamed, shown or hidden, restyled, transparency, fields, features, web tile layers),{"event": "selection"}and{"event": "project"}(another project opened) when they change.Left out on purpose:
windows-sysas a direct dependency, so it can follow separately. Until then, a Windows program must stop what it starts.rustgis-cliand the Python package answer between-command requests only while a command runs, and send no events.What RustPlanetX needs, from the list on #1518:
host.featuresalready answers GeoJSON in WGS 84, so no temporary file is needed.map.goToXY,select.rows,layer.visibility,layer.transparency,group.add,layer.addDataText) are commands, run withinedit. Two of them need more thanedit:map.setTilesneedsnetworkandlayer.addDataneedsfiles, the same rules as for any plugin.host.layerswith each layer's extent, opacity, group and kind, the web tile layers and the project.This adds to the plugin interface (a manifest key, gated by
minRustgisVersion), so per CONTRIBUTING it waits for a second maintainer's go-ahead before landing.Testing
cargo xtask ci, thewasm32-unknown-unknownbuild ofrustgis-web, andpre-commit run --all-files.session_plugins_keep_one_program_running: the same program answers several commands; requests between commands; events; stop and restart; tools still per run.session_plugins_that_end_or_fail_are_started_again: a quiet exit; a program it left running is stopped (fails without the fix); a crash names its last error; a hang is stopped; update and disable stop it.session_plugins_ask_between_commands_and_hear_the_map(engine): reads leave no undo step; an edit is its own step; permission refusals and thehost.fetchrefusal go back to the program; layers, view and selection events.process_manifests_are_checked:sessiononly for process plugins.UI evidence
