Yichen Jiang 0a2ac90617 docs: fix reference sidebar ordering and group the subsystem pages
The VitePress config declared no position for the subsystem or other-interface
sections, so `indexOf` returned -1 and sorted them ahead of every declared
group: the reference landing page's own sidebar entry sat 1549px below the
fold. Four subsystem pages also shared `order` values with pages in the same
section, resolved only by sort stability and array concatenation order.

Section placement and collapse move into the manifest as a per-locale
declaration, and `sectionSpec` throws for an undeclared section instead of
sorting it silently to the top. Subsystem pages are grouped by concern, the
six topical groups collapse until one holds the page being read, and page
order derives from array position.

The projector drops the language-switcher line and repository badge the
canonical pages carry for their GitHub readers. The navigation bar gains the
DeepSeek wordmark, a release-stage tag, and a favicon; the sidebar scrollbar
rests invisible and appears while scrolling. Subsystem pages carry a two-level
outline, and the two plugin-development tracks now cross-link.

# Your first plugin
English | [中文](index.zh.md)
This tutorial creates a minimal Harness plugin and loads it into the Web UI. Start from a repository checkout that has completed the [run-from-source path](../../../../README.md#run-from-source).
## Create a local project
From the repository root, create a scratch project for the tutorial:
```sh
mkdir -p scratch-plugin/src
```
## What is a plugin?
In Harness, a plugin is a TypeScript module that exports an `apply` function. The framework calls `apply` when loading the plugin and passes a `ctx` context object through which the plugin registers capabilities:
```ts
import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export const name = 'my-plugin'
export function apply(ctx: Context) {
// Register capabilities here.
}
```
That is the complete configuration.
## Create the plugin file
Create `scratch-plugin/src/my-plugin.ts`:
```ts
import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export const name = 'hello-plugin'
export function apply(ctx: Context) {
// Required dependencies are ready before apply runs.
console.log('[hello-plugin] plugin loaded!')
}
```
## Register it in cordis.yml
Create `scratch-plugin/cordis.yml` as a Web overlay that inserts the local plugin:
```yaml
- insert:
- id: hello
name: './src/my-plugin.ts'
```
Start the Web UI with that overlay:
```sh
pnpm dsh web --patch ./scratch-plugin/cordis.yml
```
Open `http://127.0.0.1:3080`. The terminal prints `[hello-plugin] plugin loaded!` during startup.
## Automatic cleanup
Anything registered through `ctx`—event listeners, tools, or timers—is cleaned up when the plugin unloads. You do not need to call removeListener or clearInterval manually.
For a resource that needs explicit cleanup, such as a network connection, use `ctx.effect()` to provide its disposer:
```ts
import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export function apply(ctx: Context) {
ctx.effect(() => {
const timer = setInterval(() => {
console.log('heartbeat')
}, 5000)
// The returned function runs when the plugin unloads.
return () => clearInterval(timer)
})
}
```
## Declare dependencies
If the plugin consumes another service such as `tools` or `llm`, declare it in `inject`:
```ts ignore-check
import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export const name = 'my-tool-plugin'
export const inject = ['tools']
export function apply(ctx: Context) {
// ctx.tools is ready here.
ctx.tools.register(/* ... */)
}
```
The framework waits for every required service before loading the plugin.
## Three plugin forms
In addition to a function module, a plugin can use object or class form.
### Object form
```ts
import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export default {
name: 'my-plugin',
inject: ['tools'],
apply(ctx: Context) {
// ...
},
}
```
### Class form
```ts
import { Service, type Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
export default class MyService extends Service {
static inject = ['tools']
constructor(ctx: Context) {
super(ctx, 'myService')
// Perform synchronous initialization in the constructor.
}
}
```
Function form is sufficient in most cases. Use class form when the plugin provides a service to other plugins; see [services and dependencies](../framework/service.md).
