🔌 Plugin Interface

Abstract Base Class

from mjr_am_backend.features.metadata.plugin_system.base import (
    MetadataExtractorPlugin,
    ExtractionResult,
)

class MyExtractor(MetadataExtractorPlugin):
    @property
    def name(self) -> str: ...

    @property
    def supported_extensions(self) -> list[str]: ...

    @property
    def priority(self) -> int: ...

    async def extract(self, filepath: str) -> ExtractionResult: ...

Plugin Lifecycle

1. Discovery - Scan plugin directories for .py files
2. Validation - Security check (no eval, exec, os.system, etc.)
3. Loading - Import module, instantiate extractors
4. Registration - Register in loader and registry
5. Runtime - Handle extraction requests
6. Cleanup - Release resources on unload

---

🔒 Security Features

Validation Checks

Check	Description
Pattern-based	Blocks dangerous patterns (eval, exec, subprocess)
AST-based	Analyzes imports and function calls
File size	Max 1MB per plugin
Complexity	Warns on high complexity (>50 functions)

Blocked Patterns

# Code execution
eval(), exec(), compile()

# OS access
os.system(), os.popen(), subprocess.*

# Network access
socket.*, requests.*, urllib.*

# Unsafe deserialization
pickle.load(), marshal.load()

Validation Modes

• strict - Fail on any warning (default)
• permissive - Fail only on critical issues
• disabled - No validation (not recommended)

---

📊 Features

Plugin Loader

• ✅ Auto-discovery from multiple directories
• ✅ Security validation before loading
• ✅ Priority-based extractor selection
• ✅ Hot-reload support
• ✅ Error tracking and reporting
• ✅ Plugin information tracking

Plugin Registry

• ✅ State persistence (JSON config)
• ✅ Enable/disable plugins
• ✅ Statistics tracking (extractions, errors, confidence)
• ✅ Performance metrics (avg extraction time)
• ✅ Import/export configuration

Plugin Manager

• ✅ Lifecycle management (init, shutdown)
• ✅ Extraction with fallback support
• ✅ Event hooks (on_extract, on_error)
• ✅ Statistics and monitoring
• ✅ Hot-reload capability

---

🔧 Integration Steps

Step 1: Modify MetadataService

# mjr_am_backend/features/metadata/service.py

from .plugin_system.manager import PluginManager

class MetadataService:
    def __init__(self, exiftool, ffprobe, settings, plugin_dirs=None):
        # Existing initialization
        self.exiftool = exiftool
        self.ffprobe = ffprobe
        self.settings = settings

        # NEW: Initialize plugin system
        self.plugin_manager = PluginManager(
            plugin_dirs=plugin_dirs,
            config_path=INDEX_DIR_PATH / "plugin_config.json"
        )

    async def extract_metadata(self, filepath: str, file_type: str):
        # NEW: Try plugin extractors first
        result = await self.plugin_manager.extract(
            filepath,
            fallback_extractor=lambda fp: self._extract_with_builtin(fp, file_type)
        )

        if result.success:
            return result.data

        # Fallback to built-in extractors
        return await self._extract_with_builtin(filepath, file_type)

Step 2: Add API Routes

# mjr_am_backend/routes/handlers/plugins.py

from aiohttp import web

def register_plugin_routes(routes: web.RouteTableDef):
    @routes.get("/mjr/am/plugins/list")
    async def list_plugins(request):
        services = request.app["services"]
        metadata = services.get("metadata")
        plugins = metadata.plugin_manager.list_plugins()
        return web.json_response({"ok": True, "data": plugins})

    @routes.post("/mjr/am/plugins/{name}/enable")
    async def enable_plugin(request):
        name = request.match_info["name"]
        services = request.app["services"]
        metadata = services.get("metadata")
        success = metadata.plugin_manager.enable_plugin(name)
        return web.json_response({"ok": success})

    @routes.post("/mjr/am/plugins/reload")
    async def reload_plugins(request):
        services = request.app["services"]
        metadata = services.get("metadata")
        count = await metadata.plugin_manager.reload()
        return web.json_response({"ok": True, "data": {"reloaded": count}})

Step 3: Register Routes

# mjr_am_backend/routes/registry.py

from .handlers.plugins import register_plugin_routes

def register_all_routes():
    # ... existing route registrations
    register_plugin_routes(routes)

---

🧪 Testing Strategy

Unit Tests

# tests/plugins/test_plugin_loader.py

class TestPluginLoader:
    def test_discover_plugins(self, tmp_path):
        loader = PluginLoader([tmp_path])
        count = loader.discover_plugins()
        assert count > 0

    def test_get_extractor_by_priority(self, tmp_path):
        loader = PluginLoader([tmp_path], auto_discover=False)
        loader.register_extractor(HighPriorityExtractor())
        loader.register_extractor(LowPriorityExtractor())

        extractor = loader.get_extractor("test.png")
        assert extractor.priority == 100  # Highest priority

Integration Tests

# tests/plugins/test_plugin_integration.py

class TestPluginIntegration:
    @pytest.mark.asyncio
    async def test_plugin_extraction(self, metadata_service):
        result = await metadata_service.extract_metadata("test.png", "image")
        assert result.get("success") is True

📝 Next Steps

Immediate (Required for Functionality)

1. Modify MetadataService to use PluginManager
2. Add API routes for plugin management
3. Register routes in registry.py
4. Update deps.py to initialize plugin system

Short-Term (Enhancements)

1. Write unit tests for all plugin modules
2. Create frontend UI for plugin management
3. Add more example plugins (rgthree, ControlNet, etc.)
4. Document plugin API in main README

Long-Term (Future)

1. Plugin marketplace - Share plugins via PyPI
2. Plugin versioning - Automatic updates
3. Sandboxed execution - Better isolation
4. Performance profiling - Identify bottlenecks
