-
-# Initial Python plugin SDK TODO list
-#
-# General tasks
-# * [DONE] refactor hook channel and controller definitions out to a submodule
-# * [DONE] refactor hook registration to be data driven instead of hardcoded in the runner
-# * refactor to allow "Abort" request handling to be common across hook invocation tasks
-# * refactor to allow hook invocation error handling to be common across hook invocation tasks
-# * [DONE] gracefully handle app termination while a dev plugin is still running
-# * [DONE] gracefully handle using Ctrl-C to terminate a running dev plugin
-# * [DONE] add async tool handling support to SDK (as part of adding .act() to the async API)
-#
-# Controller APIs (may be limited to relevant hook controllers)
-#
-# * [DONE] status blocks (both simple "done" blocks, and blocks with in-place updates)
-# * citation blocks
-# * debug info blocks
-# * [DONE] tool status reporting
-# * full content block display
-# * chat history retrieval
-# * model handle retrieval
-# * UI block sender name configuration
-# * [not necessary (handled directly by UI)] interactive tool call request confirmation
-#
-# Prompt preprocessing hook
-# * [DONE] emit a status notification block when the demo plugin fires
-# * [DONE] add a global plugin config to control the in-place status update demo
-# * [DONE] handle "Abort" requests from server (including sending "Aborted" responses)
-# * [DONE] catch hook invocation failures and send "Error" responses
-# * [DONE] this includes adding runtime checks for the hook returning the wrong type
-#
-# Token generator hook
-# * add an example plugin for this (probably proxying a remote LM Studio instance)
-# * define the channel, hook invocation task and hook invocation controller for this hook
-# * main request initiation message is "Generate"
-# * handle "Abort" requests from server (including sending "Aborted" responses)
-# * add controller API for fragment generation
-# * add controller API for tool call generation
-# * add controller API to indicate when token generation for a given request is completed (or failed)
-# * catch hook invocation failures and send "Error" responses
-#
-# Tools provider hook
-# * [DONE] add example synchronous tool plugin (dice rolling)
-# * [DONE] add example asynchronous tool plugin (Wikipedia lookup) (note: requires async tool support in SDK)
-# * [DONE] define the channel, hook invocation task and hook invocation controller for this hook
-# * [DONE] main request initiation message is "InitSession" (with Initialized/Failed responses)
-# * [DONE] handle "AbortToolCall" requests from server
-# * [DONE] handle "CallTool" requests from server (including sending "CallComplete"/"CallError" response)
-# * [DONE] handle "DiscardSession" requests from server
-# * [DONE] add controller API for tool call status and warning reporting
-#
-# Plugin config field definitions
-# * define approach for specifying plugin config field constraints and style options (e.g. numeric sliders)
-# * [usable] numeric: https://github.com/lmstudio-ai/lmstudio-js/blob/main/packages/lms-kv-config/src/valueTypes.ts#L99
-# * [usable] string
-# * [usable] boolean
-# * select (array of strings, or value/label string pairs)
-# * string array
