//! Sandboxed WebAssembly plug-ins for VectorCraft.
//!
//! A plug-in is a WebAssembly module that implements the VectorCraft plug-in ABI (v1, documented
//! in `docs/plugins.md`). It runs in [`wasmi`], a pure-Rust interpreter, with:
//!
//! - **no host imports but those of API level 2** ([`host`]: progress, Cancel and log lines with
//! the `progress` permission, and settings and a cache of its own with the `settings` and `cache`
//! permissions, [`storage`]): no WASI, file system, network, clock or randomness. A module that
//! imports anything else is rejected;
//! - an **instruction budget** (fuel) per call, metered in slices so a wall-clock deadline is
//! also enforced (native builds), so infinite loops end with an error. A filter may ask for a
//! larger one ([`Budget::Heavy`]), which the host lets the user allow before installing it;
//! - a **linear-memory cap**, a **recursion-depth cap** and wasmi's strict module limits;
//! - a **fresh instance per run**, so no state leaks between calls; what a plug-in keeps is only
//! what it writes to its settings and cache.
//!
//! Every failure (malformed module, trap, exhausted budget, bad output) is an [`Error`]; nothing
//! a module does can panic or hang the host.
//!
//! Plug-ins see the document as JSON ([`objects`]): the selected paths and compound paths with
//! their geometry, fills, strokes (gradients included) and opacity, and, for a filter that asks
//! for them ([`InputKind`]), type, images and symbol instances to read. An **object filter** returns
//! the objects to keep, change or add, applied to the document as one edit
//! ([`objects::apply_output`]); a **live effect** ([`effect`]) rewrites one object's geometry each
//! time it is drawn, from an appearance stack, and at `api` 2 may paint what it returns
//! ([`painted`]); an **exporter** ([`export`]) writes the whole
//! document in a file format of its own; an **importer** ([`import`]) reads a file in a format of
//! its own into a new document. The process-wide [`registry`] holds the installed
//! plug-ins; in [`safe_mode`] none of them loads or runs. A plug-in's parameters ([`manifest`]) come with what the host's dialogs need to show
//! them well: labels, units, groups, help and conditions ([`dialog`]). What a plug-in may do is
//! the set of [`permissions`] its manifest lists, which the user approves when it is installed. A
//! filter or a live effect may also add menu commands of its own ([`Command`]), which the host
//! runs through `vc_run` with the command's id in `_context`.
