docs: remove misleading nav.screen/nav.icon from plugin manifest docs

[carochacs]

What

plugin.json's documented nav object includes a screen field, but the frontend never reads it — static/js/plugin-loader.js always derives the nav dropdown's screen id as "plugin-" + plugin.id, regardless of what a manifest declares. nav.icon (set by at least one plugin) has no consumer either. Plugin authors were cargo-culting inconsistent nav.screen values (one didn't even match its own plugin id) because the docs implied it did something.

Went with the issue's suggested safer option: removed nav.screen from the CLAUDE.md manifest example, documented that neither field has any effect, and fixed the same misleading claim in plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md. No runtime code changes — the loader's existing behavior was already correct, only the docs were wrong.

Fixes #21

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Plugin manifest examples no longer configure nav.screen. Documentation states that the loader derives screen IDs from the plugin ID and ignores nav.screen and nav.icon.

Changes

Plugin navigation documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Align manifest examples and loader guidance AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md	Manifest examples remove nav.screen. Documentation identifies plugin.json’s "id" as the plugin ID and documents the loader’s screen ID derivation and ignored navigation fields.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b3716

The documentation change correctly clarifies that nav.screen and nav.icon have no effect, but one existing plugin manifest still declares nav.screen. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up to align that manifest with the updated guidance.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly identifies the documentation-only removal of misleading nav.screen and nav.icon fields.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description explains the rationale, scope, issue, feedpak impact, and checklist status; skipped changelog and tests are justified for a doc-only change.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

Sibling Imports Use Load_sibling	✅ Passed	The pull-request diff changes only AGENTS.md and two CLAUDE.md files; it adds no plugin Python module or import, so no new sibling import can violate the check.
Routes Namespaced Under /Api/Plugins/Id	✅ Passed	The base-to-HEAD diff changes only three documentation files. It changes no routes.py or route registration, so it introduces no route outside the required prefixes.
Blocking Route Handlers Use Def Not Async	✅ Passed	The PR changes only AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md documentation; no routes.py file or async handler was added or modified.
Plugin.Json Version Bumped On Change	✅ Passed	The PR diff changes only AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md. No plugin functional source changed, so the documentation exemption applies.
No Per-Frame Dom Queries In Draw/Raf	✅ Passed	The pull request changes only AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files; no .js file is modified, so the specified DOM-query and MutationObserver checks do not apply.
Shortcuts Unregistered With Matching Scope	✅ Passed	The PR changes only AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md documentation; the added-line scan found no registerShortcut call, so the shortcut cleanup condition is inapplicable.
Idempotent Guard On Top-Level Listeners	✅ Passed	The PR diff from main changes only AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md documentation; no screen.js diff adds a top-level listener, interval, or wrapper.
Server_files Entries Are Safe Relpaths	✅ Passed	The PR changes only AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md; no plugin.json file is in the PR diff, so this check is not applicable.
Setrenderer Factory Has Init/Draw/Destroy	✅ Passed	The PR diff only changes AGENTS.md and plugin documentation; it adds or modifies no window.feedBackViz_ factory, so the init/draw/destroy check is not applicable.
Overlay Gates On Isdefaultrenderer Instructions	✅ Passed	The base-to-head diff changes only AGENTS.md and two CLAUDE.md files; it adds no overlay drawing code or renderer coordinate usage.
V3 Ui Mounts Via Playercontrolslot	✅ Passed	The PR diff changes only three documentation files; it adds no code that queries #player-controls or injects controls, so the v3-branch condition is not triggered.

Feedpak Manifest Required Keys Present	✅ Passed	The PR diff changes only AGENTS.md and plugin documentation; it does not touch manifest-assembly code or alter emitted feedpak keys.
Changelog Unreleased Section Updated	✅ Passed	The diff changes only three Markdown documentation files; it introduces no application or library behavior, so the changelog requirement is excluded.
New Python Modules Have Pytest Coverage	✅ Passed	The complete PR diff changes only AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and plugin documentation; it adds no Python module, so pytest coverage is not required.
No Hardcoded Secrets Or Tokens In Diff	✅ Passed	The PR adds five documentation lines; scans found no AWS keys, PEM headers, or credential-valued variable assignments.

Fixed the core-commit-labeling CI failure on PR #66.

Diagnosis: The commit touched CLAUDE.md (a core path) but used docs: as its subject prefix. The fork's labeling policy (.github/workflows/fork-audit.yml) only accepts core:, hook:, sync:, or fix: prefixes for core-touching commits.

Fix: Amended the commit message from docs: remove misleading nav.screen/nav.icon from plugin manifest docs to core: remove misleading nav.screen/nav.icon from plugin manifest docs. No content changes — the diff is byte-identical to the original. Verified locally by re-running the exact CI check step (exit 0) and confirming the diff vs main is unchanged. Force-pushed the rewritten branch.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes — doc-only fix removing misleading nav.screen / nav.icon references from plugin manifest documentation.

• CLAUDE.md line 41 — Removes "screen": "plugin-my_plugin" from the example nav object in the plugin.json manifest example.
• CLAUDE.md lines 59-60 — Adds a paragraph explaining that nav.screen and nav.icon are not consumed by the plugin loader, which always derives the screen id as "plugin-" + plugin.id.
• plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md line 72 — Removes the → "nav.screen" reference from the plugin-id consistency checklist.

ℹ️ Consistency follow-up

AGENTS.md line 52 still carries the same old example ("nav": { "label": "My Plugin", "screen": "plugin-my_plugin" }). It wasn't part of this PR's scope, but it's the same outdated reference this fix removes from CLAUDE.md — worth updating in a follow-up for consistency.

✅ No new issues found. Both consistency concerns from the prior review are now resolved.

Reviewed changes — incremental fixes addressing prior review flags.

• AGENTS.md:52 — Removes the stale "screen": "plugin-my_plugin" from the example nav object, matching the same fix already applied to CLAUDE.md in the first commit.
• plugins/folder_library/plugin.json:6 — Drops the ignored "screen": "plugin-folder_library" field from the nav object, aligning the bundled plugin's manifest with the newly documented guidance.

Both are trivial doc/manifest cleanup. No behavioral surface.

Verification of core claims

The PR asserts that nav.screen and nav.icon are not consumed anywhere in the frontend, and that the nav dropdown builder derives the screen id as plugin- + plugin.id. I verified this against the actual runtime:

• nav.screen is genuinely unconsumed. The nav dropdown builder in static/js/plugin-loader.js line 413 sets const screenId = "plugin-" + plugin.id (template literal form) — derived from plugin.id, not nav.screen. Neither _pluginNav() (plugin-loader.js lines 40-47) nor _navLabel() (plugin-loader.js lines 34-38) reads nav.screen; they only read nav.label.
• nav.icon is genuinely unconsumed. A repo-wide search for nav.icon / .nav.icon returns zero matches anywhere in the codebase (including static/v3/). The only consumer of any nav.* property is nav.label (plugin-loader.js:36, static/v3/shell.js:316).
• nav.label IS consumed and is correctly retained in the updated docs.

Note: the top-level manifest icon field (CLAUDE.md:63) is a separate, distinct field that IS consumed by the v3 Plugins page. The PR correctly targets only nav.icon (icon inside the nav object), which is a different thing.

Changes reviewed

File	Change	Verified
CLAUDE.md:41	Removed screen field from nav example; kept label	matches diff
CLAUDE.md:59	Added paragraph documenting nav.screen/nav.icon are ignored	accurate, sourced to real code
AGENTS.md:52	Same nav.screen removal as CLAUDE.md	matches diff
plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md:72	Removed nav screen reference from consistency checklist	matches diff
plugins/folder_library/plugin.json:6	Removed ignored nav.screen from bundled manifest	verified in working tree

Existing discussion

The 3 active inline comments on plugins/folder_library/CLAUDE.md:72 concern the folder_library manifest still declaring nav.screen. This was resolved by commit 8255817 (plugins/folder_library/plugin.json), so no action is needed and no duplicate is filed.

CI / changelog

Doc-only change with no behavioral surface; CHANGELOG and test checklist boxes are correctly unchecked (exempt for doc-only).

No inline comments posted. No code, tests, or feedpak-format keys touched.
