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.
