SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured Rust backend reference for qol-tray, unifying plugin orchestration, daemon supervision, IPC, feature modules, and shared crates to guide implementation and long-term maintenance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plugin system with per-plugin daemons and contract definitions via qol-plugin-api.
  • Shared qol-* crates alignment to enable modular architecture and code reuse across plugins.
  • Cross-platform strategy patterns and Tokio-based concurrency for robust, responsive behavior.
  • Runtime IPC endpoints to support UI communication and debugging.

Quick Start

Review the Rust backend reference to understand plugin layout, IPC endpoints, and cross-platform strategies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Rust backend for plugin orchestration and IPC?▼

A Rust backend for plugin orchestration requires per-plugin daemons, contract definitions via a plugin API, and Tokio-based concurrency. Using shared qol-* crates aligns the modular architecture, enabling runtime IPC endpoints for UI communication and long-term maintenance.

What is the best way to manage cross-platform concurrency in a Rust plugin system?▼

Managing cross-platform concurrency in a Rust plugin system relies on Tokio-based asynchronous strategies. This approach provides robust, responsive behavior across different operating systems while maintaining structured daemon supervision and shared crate placement.

How does IPC communication work between a Rust daemon and a UI frontend?▼

IPC communication between a Rust daemon and a UI frontend works through defined runtime IPC endpoints. These endpoints support UI communication and debugging by orchestrating plugin contracts and supervising daemons across platforms.

Do I need a specific crate layout for maintainable Rust plugin architecture?▼

A maintainable Rust plugin architecture needs a documented module layout with shared qol-* crates. This shared crate placement enables code reuse across plugins, ensures architectural clarity, and supports per-plugin daemon supervision.

Can I define plugin contracts dynamically in a Rust backend?▼

Plugin contracts in a Rust backend are defined statically via the qol-plugin-api. This structured approach establishes clear per-plugin daemon boundaries, ensuring robust error handling and cross-platform runtime stability.

Why does my Rust plugin daemon lose responsiveness during UI communication?▼

Rust plugin daemon responsiveness during UI communication often drops without proper Tokio-based concurrency. Implementing structured runtime IPC endpoints and aligning shared crates ensures robust, asynchronous handling of UI requests and debugging tasks.
