API 1.3 adds Event::FilesChanged(FilesChanged) for debounced external file creation, modification and removal in open projects. Declare engines.openidea = "^1.3", the events capability and activation = ["on-event:files-changed"], then handle the typed event in Plugin::handle_events. Use host::subscribe_paths("files-changed", &["config/**"]) to receive only matching project-relative paths in each category. An empty filter pauses delivery. Paths are absolute, like Event::FileSaved; pending batches are discarded when their project closes. The released WIT variant is unchanged: the SDK decodes event::other with kind files-changed.

See the event contract and the real Wasm fixture.

API 1.3 adds capability-gated interactive PTYs to that web bridge. Declare engines.openidea = "^1.3" and process:<program> in plugin.toml, then send pty-spawn, pty-input, pty-resize and pty-kill JSON strings using openidea.postMessage. Consume pty-data and acknowledge its sequence using pty-ack; handle pty-exit and pty-error through openidea.onMessage.

See the protocol, permission and resource limits and the minimal fixture. The frame cannot access IPC directly. Its sessions belong to that frame and end with its view or plugin. There is no new WIT import for this API.

API 1.3 also answers Find Usages and Rename from DocumentIndexer definitions and references. Existing indexers work without another export; declare engines.openidea = "^1.3" when requiring these host features. Each anchor must cover exactly the name, using UTF-16 columns. The host merges native results, previews indexed renames and applies them as one undoable workspace edit. The existing project.read capability and trusted-project boundary apply. See the indexing contract and the minimal fixture.

API 1.3 also adds diagnostics for unsaved documents. Declare kinds = ["diagnostics"] and the supported languages under [[contributes.providers]], implement openidea_plugin::diagnostics::DiagnosticsProvider, and export it with register_plugin!(MyPlugin, diagnostics). The host supplies versioned text after a 300 ms debounce, cancels superseded calls, and drops stale answers under the editor-provider budget. Ranges use 0-based UTF-16 positions.

The provider declaration supplies the document; host imports retain their usual capability checks. Provider results coexist with manually published diagnostics and are cleared with the document, project or plugin. Native tests can call MockHost::refresh_diagnostics and inspect MockHost::provider_diagnostics.

See the diagnostics contract and limits and the real Wasm fixture.

API 1.3 also adds open-log-tab to the web bridge: a generic read-only editor tab streams output from a granted process, with plugin-defined argument toggles. It uses the same backend authorization and bounded PTY transport. See the protocol and lifecycle and the built fixture.

API 1.3 also adds open-content-tab to the web bridge: a plugin-backed editor tab with custom toolbar actions (content-tab-action / content-tab-reply), native diff viewer integration, and full EditorDocumentLifecycle support. See the protocol and lifecycle and the built fixture.

Multi-page settings (API 1.3)

Declare [[contributes.settings.pages]] with id, title, and schema and require engines.openidea = "^1.3". The IDE supplies searchable pages, grouped fields, string lists and object tables. Values stay plugin-wide; read a table with host::setting("profiles") and deserialize its JSON array.

A page action declares title and command. Pending settings are applied before the command runs; return Error::Invalid / Error::Failed for an inline failure and call host::notify on success. Keep API keys in declared secrets.

The complete example contains two pages, a model-profile table and a Test button, including the manifest, schemas and Rust command implementation. See the settings contract for supported field types, limits and Apply/Cancel behavior.
