load_webui_extensions.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the load_webui_extensions.py API endpoint.
• This module returns frontend extension manifests/files for a WebUI extension point.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with load_webui_extensions.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• load_webui_extensions.py owns the runtime implementation.
• load_webui_extensions.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• LoadWebuiExtensions (ApiHandler)
  • async process(self, input: dict, request: Request) -> dict | Response

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• LoadWebuiExtensions is an ApiHandler.
• LoadWebuiExtensions defines process(...).
• Imported dependency areas include: helpers, helpers.api.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: extension.get_webui_extensions, Response.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_webui_extension_surfaces.py
