#3180
6e151efThanks @ascorbic! - Adds binary-safectx.http.fetch()behavior to sandboxed plugins on Cloudflare Worker Loader and Node/workerd. Request and response bodies are buffered with an 8 MiB decoded limit, and the returned WHATWGResponsepreserves bytes, status text, headers, final URL, redirect state, and clones across both runners.Redirected requests follow Fetch method and body rules. The Node/workerd runner also applies the installed version's current network capability and host list immediately after a plugin update.
Reading binary responses
Read bytes from the buffered response with the standard Response API:
const response = await ctx.http!.fetch("https://api.example.com/report"); const bytes = new Uint8Array(await response.arrayBuffer());
Testing external HTTP
createPluginRuntimeTestHost()addshttp.respond(),http.requests(), andhttp.clear()for deterministic production-bridge tests:await host.http.respond("https://api.example.com/report", new Response(new Uint8Array([0, 255]))); await host.transport.invokeRoute("import-report"); expect(host.http.requests()).toContainEqual( expect.objectContaining({ url: "https://api.example.com/report" }), );

#3171
80ccfafThanks @ascorbic! - Adds capability-gated schema, translation, public URL, and content revision discovery for plugins.Declare
schema:readto list collection and field definitions throughctx.schema. Existingcontent:readaccess can inspect safe content identity, discover locale siblings withgetTranslations(), and resolve published routes withgetPublicUrl(). Public URL resolution follows the site's collection pattern, locale routing, and trailing-slash policy and returnsnullfor content without a public route.Revision snapshots require the separate
content:revisions:readcapability because retained history can contain field values that an administrator removed later. This capability implies ordinarycontent:readaccess. Installation and plugin updates show both new authorities for consent, and the native, Cloudflare Worker Loader, and Node.js workerd runtimes expose the same methods. -
#3184
46784e1Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds capability-gated redirect access for sandboxed plugins. Declareredirects:readto list redirect rules with cursor pagination and read a rule with an opaque_rev. Declareredirects:writeto create, update, and delete redirect rules; write access implies read access and installation consent states that the plugin can change where visitors are sent.Redirect mutations use EmDash's redirect validation and cache invalidation path. Writes are serialized across runtimes so duplicate-source and loop validation use a consistent rule graph. The expanded redirect schema remains compatible with writes from previous host processes during rolling deployments. Loop validation runs when a rule is created or its source or destination changes; enabled-only updates retain the host API's existing behavior. Updates and deletes require the latest
_rev, reject concurrent changes withCONFLICT, and do not let plugins set the host-owned automatic redirect marker. The Cloudflare Worker Loader and Node.js workerd runners expose the same API, andcreatePluginRuntimeTestHost()includes redirect fixtures and inspection for production-boundary tests. -
#3170
3538bb8Thanks @ascorbic! - Addscomments:readandcomments:moderatefor sandboxed plugins.ctx.commentscan get, count, and cursor-page through non-trashed comments, and can change a comment betweenapproved,pending, andspamwhen the caller supplies the status it previously observed.comments:readexposes comment bodies, author names and email addresses, pseudonymous IP hashes, user agents, and moderation metadata. It does not expose the linked EmDash user-account ID.comments:moderateimplies that read access, and installation or an update that requests either capability requires operator consent.Status changes use the core moderation path. A stale expected status rejects with
COMMENT_STATUS_CONFLICT, and an overlapping transition can reject withCOMMENT_MODERATION_IN_PROGRESS; a successful transition runscomment:afterModerateonce with the calling plugin's origin and preserves approval notifications. Hard deletion and bulk status replacement are not included. -
#3172
2818e66Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds separate sandboxed-plugin capabilities for reading media bytes and editing media metadata.Declare
media:bytes:readto usectx.media.readBytes(). Reads are available only for ready media, default to a 10 MiB limit, enforce the caller's limit while consuming the storage stream, and cannot request more than 16 MiB. The result includes the content hash; ordinarymedia:readmetadata excludes content hashes, storage keys, and author identity.Ready-media metadata URLs use an authenticated media ID route. Authenticated callers with the
media:readpermission can fetch the asset without receiving its storage key; logged-out requests are rejected before the route queries media.Declare
media:metadata:writeto usectx.media.updateMetadata()for alt text, captions, and focal points. This capability cannot upload, replace, move, or delete media. It does not implymedia:readormedia:bytes:read.@emdash-cms/plugin-testalso provides binary media fixtures and inspection through the runtime-backed host so plugin tests can exercise the production Worker Loader bridge. -
#3173
7aa12b3Thanks @ascorbic! - Addsctx.settingsfor plugin configuration and encrypts fields declared astype: "secret"before writing them to the database. Native plugins, Cloudflare Worker Loader plugins, and Node/workerd plugins share the same versioned AES-GCM envelope and plugin-scoped API.@emdash-cms/plugin-testcan update generated settings through the runtime host and inspect their raw persisted envelope.Set
EMDASH_ENCRYPTION_KEYin the runtime process environment before saving secret settings. A standalone Node server does not load.envautomatically. To rotate the key, place the new key first in a comma-separated list and retain old keys until every plugin secret has been saved again. EmDash does not currently report which key IDs remain in use, so track each resaved credential and verify its integration before removing an old key. Restores need both the database and every encryption key referenced by its stored envelopes.Cloudflare sites using
nodejs_compatwith a compatibility date before2025-04-01must also addnodejs_compat_populate_process_envbefore saving secrets through the generated admin form. Cloudflare enables that behavior by default for later compatibility dates.Existing plaintext secrets remain readable and are encrypted when saved again. The
ctx.kv.get("settings:<key>")compatibility alias remains available throughout the EmDash 0.x release line; new plugin code should usectx.settings.get("<key>").Only fields declared as
type: "secret"inadmin.settingsSchemause this encryption path. Arbitrary plugin KV and state values are unchanged; credentials stored by the bundled AT Protocol and webhook notifier plugins are not migrated by this release. -
#3194
1e13daaThanks @ascorbic! - Adds separately consented publication and restore actions to native and sandboxed plugin contexts.Plugins with
content:publishcan read an entry with an opaque revision and publish, unpublish, schedule, or unschedule it through the same runtime behavior as REST and MCP. Each mutation requires the revision returned by the read or preceding action, and a plugin cannot recursively run the same action for the same entry. The capability impliescontent:readbut notcontent:write.Plugins with
content:restorecan read and restore trashed entries without receiving ordinary content-read or write authority. Restore is revision-fenced and returns the next revision. Existing plugin installations receive neither capability unless a new version declares it and the administrator approves the expanded access. -
#3185
c029134Thanks @ascorbic! - Addshooks.content-policy:registerfor sandboxed and native plugins that need to inspect and reject publication, scheduling, or unpublication without receiving content read, write, or publication-action access.Policy plugins can register
content:beforePublish,content:beforeSchedule, andcontent:beforeUnpublish. Each event identifies the API, MCP, visual editor, plugin, scheduler, or system origin and includes the authenticated actor when one exists. Return{ cancel: true, reason }to reject the action with a stable error code. EmDash validates the reason as 1–500 plain-text characters. For allowed actions, the revision read before policy evaluation becomes the mutation precondition.Scheduled content runs
content:beforePublishagain when it becomes due. A policy rejection unschedules the entry, lists its public-safe reason and entry link on the dashboard, and avoids retrying the same permanent rejection on every scheduler tick. Successful rescheduling, publication, or deletion clears the record; administrators can dismiss stale records.@emdash-cms/plugin-testexposes stored scheduler rejections throughinspect.scheduledPolicyRejections(). -
#3190
6daffeaThanks @ascorbic! - Adds declared request and raw response contracts for sandboxed plugin routes across the native,
Cloudflare Worker Loader, and Node/workerd runtimes.Use
methodsto have the host reject other HTTP methods with405 Method Not Allowed. Use
request.bodywithjson,text,bytes,form-data, ornonefor bounded buffered parsing, and
list the safe request headers the handler needs. Undeclared routes retain their existing
method-agnostic JSON and query-string behavior.Routes with
response: "raw"returnpluginResponse()with an unwrapped text or byte body, status,
and allowlisted representation, download, or redirect headers. Raw responses are limited to 8 MiB.
The host removes all other plugin-supplied headers, applies the route's cache and browser security
policy, and rejects active same-origin content types.pluginRoute()infers a sandboxed handler's input from its declared body mode.
definePluginRoute()provides the equivalent inference for trusted native routes.
createPluginRuntimeTestHost()acceptsrawBodyfor testing the production request parser with
text, bytes, URL-encoded data, and multipart form data. -
#3169
8ad06e9Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds thetaxonomies:writesandboxed-plugin capability for creating taxonomy terms and adding or removing term assignments throughctx.taxonomies.Assignment methods accept term row IDs or translation-group IDs and apply idempotent deltas, so they do not replace existing assignments and concurrent additions are preserved. EmDash validates collection attachment, entry existence, term ownership, configured locales, translation identity, and hierarchy before changing taxonomy state. Sandboxed
createTerm()rejectsparentIdfor a non-hierarchical taxonomy instead of ignoring it. The capability impliestaxonomies:readand requires renewed consent when an installed plugin first declares it.Existing REST and MCP term mutations also reject creating or updating a term with a parent in a non-hierarchical taxonomy. Callers that assign parents must mark the taxonomy as hierarchical before creating or reparenting terms.
This release includes migration
082_taxonomy_translation_locale_unique, which enforces one term per translation group and locale. If an existing database contains duplicate rows, the migration preserves them as independent term groups and copies their assignments before adding the unique index. It can restart safely after any completed statement.@emdash-cms/plugin-testadds taxonomy fixtures and an assignment inspector for production-boundary tests. Taxonomy definition management, assignment replacement, term updates, and term deletion remain unavailable to sandboxed plugins.

#3272
fc4a7beThanks @ascorbic! - Fixes revision restore on Cloudflare D1 so the restored content and its audit revision commit atomically. If either write fails, the entry and its revision history remain unchanged. -
#3164
6ce67bbThanks @danielmlr! - Fixes concurrent core migrations on Cloudflare D1 failing partway with errors such astable "_plugin_storage" already exists.emdash migrateand runtime migrations inautomode take a migration lock in the D1 database. A second run waits up to 10 seconds: it succeeds without applying anything if the first run finishes in that time, and otherwise fails without applying migrations.A run that stops before releasing the lock leaves it held, because it may have stopped partway through a migration. This happens when a CI job is cancelled during
emdash migrate, when a Worker inautomode stops during a runtime migration, or when a development server is stopped while it applies migrations. Until the lock is released, pending migrations do not run and a D1 site inautomode fails to initialize EmDash. Once the lock is older than a minute, migration runs fail at once with the lock's time and id, and the runtime retries after its migration-failure backoff.Adds
emdash migrate --release-lock <id>to release such a lock.emdash migrate --statusreports the lock and its id. After confirming that no migration is running, release the lock with that id:pnpm emdash migrate --release-lock 1788264000000
Releasing the lock of a remote D1 database needs a build manifest and an API token with D1 Edit permission. A lock in the local D1 database of a development server is released with Wrangler. See Release a stuck migration lock for both procedures.

#3095
f88db94Thanks @dchaudhari7177! - Fixesemdash migrate --d1 <name>failing for every database name with "Cloudflare D1 database list total_pages is invalid". The D1 list endpoint does not returntotal_pages, so the page count is now derived fromtotal_countandper_pagewhen it is absent. A preview database whose name only contains the requested name (thenamefilter matches substrings) no longer fails the lookup either. -
#3244
5129196Thanks @ascorbic! - Fixes playground retries reusing a partially initialized database after setup fails, which could make every retry return another 500 error. Trying again now discards the incomplete session and creates a fresh playground database. -
#3052
34e9bb5Thanks @logelog! - Fixes sandboxedctx.content.create()acceptingauthor_idandprimary_byline_idfrom plugin data on Cloudflare and Workerd. Those values are ignored during creation, and sandboxed reads omit the rawprimary_byline_idfield fromitem.data. -
#3176
b11095dThanks @connorblack! - FixescloudflareImages()andcloudflareStream()so their*EnvVaroptions (accountIdEnvVar,accountHashEnvVar,apiTokenEnvVar) readprocess.envon the Node adapter. Previously they only checked Cloudflare Workers bindings, so a Node-hosted site with credentials exported as environment variables failed with a "Missing ..." error even though the variable was set. A Cloudflare Workers binding of the same name still takes precedence when one exists. -
#3152
a823276Thanks @ascorbic! - Fixes standard sandboxed plugins so lifecycle, content, media, comment, email, cron, and page metadata hooks run through the same ordered, capability-gated host pipeline as trusted plugins on Cloudflare Workers and Node.js.Sandbox contexts now expose canonical capabilities, database-backed
ctx.cron, complete content metadata and filtering, and a realResponseshape fromctx.http.fetch(). Cloudflare response bodies still cross the bridge as text. Admin-managed settings now share thectx.kvsettings namespace, lifecycle hooks run once at the correct install/enable boundary, and uninstall cleanup runs before plugin data or bundles are removed.Plugin builds also preserve hook, route permission and cache, MCP, settings, and field-widget metadata in registry bundles and npm descriptors.
-
#3199
a487ae3Thanks @ascorbic! - Addsemdash/plugins/hostas a narrow runtime entry for platform sandbox adapters. The Cloudflare Worker loads scheduled maintenance and sandbox bridge dependencies when those capabilities first run, reducing startup CPU while preserving existing Worker exports and behavior. -
#3162
a4af578Thanks @ascorbic! - AddscreatePluginRuntimeTestHost()for sandboxed plugin tests that must exercise EmDash orchestration instead of invoking an isolate directly. The host separates direct transport calls, fixtures, production actions, observable-state inspectors, scheduled time control, cold restart, and disposal.Runtime actions cover the shipped content lifecycle, plugin activation and deactivation, media upload, public comment submission, comment moderation, plugin-route policy, and scheduled task execution. The controlled scheduler clock applies to cron tasks and scheduled publishing.
restart()retains D1, plugin storage, media storage, and plugin state while replacing runtime and isolate memory. The host captures delivered email for assertions.createPluginTestHost()and its top-levelinvokeHook()andinvokeRoute()methods remain compatible for fast transport-level tests.emdashPluginTest()supplies the runtime modules required by the documented Vitest configuration. Generated plugin projects continue to use Worker Loader by default and describe Node/workerd parity as an opt-in test for runner-sensitive behavior. -
#3174
06bad83Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds structured Block Kit navigation and host-attested administrator locale context for sandboxed plugin pages and dashboard widgets.Plugins can return
linkelements that target saved content, another page declared by the same plugin, generated plugin settings, or an external HTTP, HTTPS, ormailto:URL. EmDash constructs internal admin URLs and opens external links withnoopener noreferrer. Links never dispatch block actions and cannot appear as form fields.Block Kit route handlers receive
routeCtx.uiwith the validated surface, administrator locale, and text direction. The host validates every sandboxed page and widget response before rendering it, rejects undeclared plugin-page targets and active URL protocols, and permits external images only over HTTPS to hosts declared inallowedHostsundernetwork:requestconsent or undernetwork:request:unrestrictedconsent. Responses are limited to 256 KiB, 20 levels, 2,000 nodes, 1,000 items per array, and 64 KiB per string.createPluginRuntimeTestHost()addsadmin.loadPage(),loadWidget(),act(), andsubmit()helpers that exercise the private production route, Worker Loader isolate, host UI context, and response validation.This is a breaking security tightening for sandboxed plugins that return an external Block Kit image without matching network authority. EmDash rejects the complete page or widget response instead of allowing the administrator's browser to contact an unapproved host.
What should I do?
If a plugin returns external Block Kit images, add
network:requestand every image hostname toallowedHosts, or addnetwork:request:unrestrictedwhen the plugin genuinely requires any hostname. Publish a plugin update so administrators can review and approve the expanded authority. Root-relative images need no manifest change. -
#3182
70ab2f8Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds translation-aware sandboxed plugin content creation throughctx.content.create(collection, data, { locale, translationOf }).The source must be an active entry in the same collection. The new entry joins its translation group, inherits its byline credits and taxonomy assignments, and takes non-translatable field values from the source. Content validation and save hooks run in both the Cloudflare Worker Loader and Node/workerd runners. Save-hook-originated creates do not re-enter save hooks, and the creating plugin's own
content:afterSavehook is not re-entered.Each translation group permits one active entry per locale. Duplicate locale creates return
CONFLICT, missing sources returnNOT_FOUND, invalid or unconfigured locales returnVALIDATION_ERROR, and save hooks can returnSAVE_REJECTED. -
