By name: 01-mofa-studio-core description: Core architecture of MoFA Studio: plugin system, shell/app boundaries, state coordination, theme and dark mode, and timer/event lifecycles. Use when changing architecture, refactoring, or adding cross-cutting behavior.
MoFA Studio Core
1. Overview
Follow the black-box app principle and keep shell/app coupling limited to the four required points. Use the references for details and examples.
2. Core rules
- Keep apps self-contained; shell does not reach into app internals.
- Register widgets in the correct order in
LiveRegister. - Use
MofaAppandAppRegistryfor metadata and registration. - Propagate shared state via WidgetRef methods, not a global store.
3. Workflow for architectural changes
- Identify the coupling point you need to touch (import, register, instantiate, visibility).
- Update the app crate first, then wire the shell.
- Verify dark mode and timer lifecycle hooks.
- Update dataflow wiring if the app uses Dora.
