## Purpose
Investigate draw.io custom shapes, libraries, plugins, and desktop-app configuration for Cognitive Architecture work.

## Active Topics
- Whether external plugins can be enabled from the draw.io desktop GUI without CLI flags.
- The JSON accepted by draw.io configuration.
- Whether `Default Custom Libraries` can include JavaScript or otherwise activate external behavior.

## Key Context
- RootAtSkic wants an in-app/configuration-based solution, not a CLI-only workaround.
- Any proposed configuration must distinguish supported settings from unverified hacks and account for draw.io desktop security restrictions.

## Action Items
- Continue evidence-based investigation of desktop configuration and external-plugin support.
- Track upstream draw.io desktop issue #2499 concerning enabling external plugins through configuration.
