chore: prune unused apps and services for the moeka fork
- Remove stage-tamagotchi, stage-pocket, server, and engine workspaces with their workflows, addons, and docs
- Switch the toolchain from pnpm to bun, replace lockfiles with bun.lock
- Rewrite remaining product references to Moeka

## Summary
Moeka is a multi-node system where plugins, bridges, and viewers communicate over Eventa transports. A Plugin Host loads plugins, provides a single API surface, and routes control and data across devices. The platform separates the control plane from the data plane, supports local and remote plugins, and enables multi-device orchestration without changing plugin APIs.
## Background
Moeka needs to run across desktop, web, and mobile while keeping one clean API surface. Plugins must be able to register UI, declare capabilities, and exchange data with device-specific bridges. To keep the system scalable, high-rate streams must be separated from lifecycle and configuration traffic.
Runtime dependency orchestration is intentionally split into a dedicated design document to keep this architecture document focused on platform shape and planes.
## Goals
- Provide a single plugin API surface across runtimes.
- Separate lifecycle and configuration traffic from high-rate streams.
- Support local plugins and remote plugins with the same protocol.
- Allow multiple viewers and bridges to coordinate through a shared control plane.
- Keep deployment flexible: embedded, external, or remote Plugin Host.
## Non-goals
- Defining the full plugin lifecycle state machine in this document.
- Specifying detailed UI layouts or viewer implementations.
- Implementing a new transport beyond Eventa adapters.
## Proposal
- Use Eventa for all control and data traffic.
- Use a dedicated control plane for configuration, permissions, UI, and routing.
- Use a data plane for high-volume streams like audio, vision, and telemetry.
- Run plugins inside a Plugin Host that loads plugin entrypoints and exposes the SDK.
- Treat bridges as device-specific integrations that only provide data and actions.
## Design Details
The platform design focuses on consistent APIs, transport-agnostic integration, and multi-device orchestration.
### Control And Data Planes
Control plane purpose: lifecycle, configuration, routing policy, permissions, and UI contributions.
Typical control messages:
- control:hello
- control:announce
- control:plugin:register
- control:plugin:config:get
- control:plugin:config:set
- control:capability:grant
- control:capability:revoke
- control:ui:register
Data plane purpose: real-time and high-throughput streams.
Typical data messages:
- data:context:update
- data:vision:frame
- data:audio:stream
- data:transcript
- data:character:output
Both planes use Eventa messages. Transport options:
- Two WebSocket endpoints
- One multiplexed connection with namespaces
### Plugin Host And Viewers
The Plugin Host is a Node process that:
- Loads plugin entrypoints.
- Exposes the Moeka SDK.
- Registers UI contributions.
- Negotiates capabilities.
- Connects to control and data planes.
Viewers render UI and character output. Examples:
- Electron Stage with Configurator features.
- Web Configurator client.
- Pocket Stage client.
### Plugin Lifecycle Overview
The lifecycle below mirrors the detailed lifecycle comment in
`packages/plugin-sdk/src/plugin-host/core.ts` and focuses on the module
announcement, configuration, and capability phases.
```mermaid
flowchart TD
A[Connect to control plane] --> B[Authenticate]
B --> C[Host sends registry:modules:sync]
C --> D[Module emits module:announce]
D --> E[Module declares deps + initial config]
E --> F{Dependencies resolved?}
F -- no --> G[module:status emitted]
F -- yes --> H[module:prepared]
H --> I[module:configuration:needed]
I --> J[validate/plan/commit config]
J --> K[module:configuration:configured]
K --> L[Offer capabilities]
L --> M[Capability configuration phase]
M --> N[module:status ready]
```
Detailed capability dependency orchestration, waiting phases, and readiness gates are defined in `capability-orchestration.md`.
### Bridges And Remote Plugins
Bridges connect external devices and services to Moeka. They do not own UI; they only provide data and actions. Examples:
- VS Code extension for editor context and commands.
- Browser extension for page context.
- Minecraft service for game events and commands.
Remote plugins are services in any language that connect over Eventa and register capabilities. They are preferred for server integrations and non-JS/TS stacks.
### Transport Abstraction
All SDK calls are transport-agnostic. The host controls whether communication is local IPC or remote RPC without changing plugin APIs.
### Capability Model
Each node announces capabilities on registration. The control plane grants or denies permissions and routes requests based on policy.
Example capabilities:
- context.read
- context.write
- ui.panel
- ui.widget
- vision.capture
- vision.stream
- device.mobile.sensors
### Deployment Modes
The Plugin Host can run in three modes:
1. Embedded in Electron main for install-and-go.
2. External Node process for hot reload and isolation.
3. Remote server for cross-device continuity.
### Manifest And Entrypoints
Plugins declare metadata in a manifest file and provide runtime entrypoints.
Example:
```json
{
"id": "airi.vscode",
"name": "Moeka VS Code",
"version": "1.0.0",
"capabilities": ["context.read", "ui.panel", "commands"],
"entrypoints": {
"node": "./dist/node/index.js"
}
}
```
## Verify & Test
### Criteria
- Plugins can be loaded by the host and register UI and capabilities.
- Bridges can connect and be discovered by the control plane.
- Data plane streams stay isolated from control plane traffic.
- The same plugin API surface works across desktop, web, and mobile.
### Test & QA
- Integration test: host + viewer + bridge with control plane routing.
- Integration test: data plane streaming with a high-rate source.
- Compatibility test: same plugin entrypoints across multiple runtimes.
## Progress
### Status
Active design.
### Next Steps
- Align runtime docs with updated plugin context and transport strategy.
- Integrate capability registry and readiness-gate lifecycle transitions from `capability-orchestration.md`.
- Expand remote plugin examples by language.
## Reviews
### Q&A
- Q: Why split control and data planes?
A: Lifecycle traffic and high-rate streams have different reliability and QoS needs.
- Q: Do bridges render UI?
A: No. UI is contributed to viewers through the control plane.
- Q: Can remote plugins be written without JS or npm?
A: Yes. They only need to speak the Eventa protocol over WebSocket.
