Add notes on UI plugins that use QPluginLoader + IComponent (installed to plugins/ not modules/), the manifest.json format, and the QML_PATH env var needed to load QML from filesystem instead of embedded QRC. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

logos-protocol 0af8e0c -> 988e0ba (#59) logos-rust-sdk 571d570 -> 671bcc6 (#39) logos-dev-boost 31cbcd3 -> 4fb867a (#17) logos-tutorial (#81) also merged but is not a rev-pinned root input, so nothing to move for it. All three were SQUASH-merged, so the branch commits are not ancestors of master and `origin/master..HEAD` still counted them as ahead — the pins move to the new master SHAs rather than to anything recognisable from the branches. Checked by CONTENT rather than by topology before moving: master carries jsonRequireArray/jsonRequireObject, TokenManager::forIdentity/isolateIdentity, lp_grant_host_services and lp_token_keys; rust-sdk's dead gen_provider example is gone; dev-boost's guidelines name logos-qt-host-generator. Both platforms evaluate: aarch64-darwin 641, x86_64-windows 399 — unchanged, as expected for a pin move whose content was already in the closure via the branches.

logos-protocol 988e0ba -> f4407ff (#59 then #60) logos-rust-sdk 671bcc6 -> 7c65d31 (#39 then #40) logos-dev-boost 4fb867a -> a915699 (#17 then #18) Set 1 merged in two waves, which is why this moves a second time. The first four PRs were squash-merged at their pre-CI heads, so the CI conversions that had been pushed to those same branches afterwards were not included and needed their own PRs; those have now merged too. logos-tutorial (#81, #83) merged in both waves as well but is not a rev-pinned root input. Every SHA here came from `git ls-remote`, not from a local ref: an explicit `git fetch origin master` in these submodules left origin/master at the PRE-merge tip, and repinning off that would have quietly pinned stale revisions while reporting success. Both platforms evaluate: aarch64-darwin 641, x86_64-windows 399. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
plugins/install directory vsmodules/,manifest.jsonformat, andIComponentinterface requirementQML_PATH=<dir>env var to load QML from filesystem instead of embedded QRC — essential for QML iteration without full rebuildsContext
Discovered while building the WhisperWall Basecamp UI plugin. Without
QML_PATH, any.qmlfile changes on disk are silently ignored because the plugin loads QML from the baked-in Qt resource. This tripped us up multiple times before finding the override mechanism.Test plan
