This commit introduces a new extension type View, which enables developers
to implement extensions with GUI. It is implemented using iframe, developers
can specify the path to the HTML file in the `Extension.page` field, then
Coco will load and render that page when the extension gets opened.
coco-api
We provide a TypeScript library [1] that will contain the APIs developers
need to make the experience better.
We start from file system APIs. Since the embedded HTML page will be loaded
by WebView, which has no access to the local file system, we provide APIs
to bridge that gap. Currently, `fs:read_dir()` is the only API we implemented, more
will come soon.
Permission
As View extensions run user-provided code, we introduce a permision
mechanism to sandbox the code. Developers must manually specify the
permission their extension needs in the "plugin.json" file, e,g.:
"permissions": {
"fs": [
{ "path": "/Users/foo/Downloads", "access": ["read", "write"] },
{ "path": "/Users/foo/Documents", "access": ["read"] }
],
"http": [
{ "host": "api.github.com" }
],
"api": ["fs:read_dir"]
}
Currently, both fs and api permissions are implemented. Permission checks
apply only to View extensions for now; Command extensions will support
them in the future.

This commit fixes(I guess?) the issue that the Settings window may not be
rendered or loaded, you will see that the whole window is gray in that case.
Background, aka, why this issue exists
=============================================================
In commit [1], we wrapped all the backend setup routines in a tauri command, so
that frontend code can call it before invoking any other backend interfaces to
guarantee that these interfaces won't be called until the data/state they rely
on is ready.
The implementation in [1] had an issue that it didn't work with window reloading.
To fix this issue, we made another commit [2]. Commit [2] fixed the refresh
issue, but it also caused the settings window issue that this commit tries to fix.
The backend setup tauri command needs a state to track whether the setup has
completed. In the previous implementation, this was done in the frontend. In
this commit, it is moved to the backend.
Why didn't you guys move that state to backend in previous commits, e.g., commit [2]?
=============================================================
We tried, but failed. In the previous tries, the backend would send an event
to the frontend, but the frontend couldn't receive it, for reasons we still
don’t understand. And this weird issue still exists, we just happen to find
a way to work around it.

This commit reverts the logic introduced in
e7dd27c744:
> Pinning the main window would bring "NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces"
> back to make it really stay pinned across all the spaces.
Commit 6bc78b41ef (diff-b55e9c1de63ea370ce736826e4dea5685bfa3992d8dee58427337e68b71a1fc1)
did a tiny refactor to the frontend code merged in the above commit,
these changes are reverted as well.
We revert these changes because we observed an issue with window
focus, and we don't know the root cause and how to fix the issue either.
The following change is kept because we don't want to hit this NS panel
bug[1]. But if the issue still exists after this commit, it will
be removed as well.
In "src-tauri/src/setup/mac.rs":
```diff
panel.set_collection_behaviour(
- NSWindowCollectionBehavior::NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces
+ NSWindowCollectionBehavior::NSWindowCollectionBehaviorMoveToActiveSpace
```

Coco App has 4 sources of Extension/plugin.json that should be checked:
1. From the "<data directory>/third_party_extensions" directory
2. Imported via "Import Local Extension"
3. Downloaded from the "store/extension/<extension ID>/_download" API
4. From coco-extensions repository
Granted, Coco APP won't check these files directly, but we will
re-use the code and run them in that repository's CI.
Previously, only the Extensions from the first source were checked/validated.
This commit extracts the validation logic to a function and applies it to all
4 sources.
Also, the return value of the Tauri command "list_extensions()" has changed.
We no longer return a boolean indicating if any invalid extensions
are found during loading, which only makes sense when installing
extensions requires users to manually edit data files. Since we now
support extension store and local extension imports, it could be omitted.
This commit adds support for installing extensions from a local folder path:
```text
extension-directory/
├── assets/
│ ├── icon.png
│ └── other-assets...
└── plugin.json
```
Useful for testing and development of extensions before publishing.
