Package layout

Author source in JS or TS, bundle to dist/*.js, then pack the manifest and output files into a .hcp file (ZIP format):

my-plugin/
├── manifest.json
├── README.md               # or description.md — full Markdown listing (see manifest)
├── assets/
│   ├── icon.png            # plugin icon (referenced by manifest)
│   └── screenshots/        # gallery images for Settings → Plugins detail
│       ├── settings.png
│       └── sidebar.png
├── src/                    # author source (optional, not loaded at runtime)
│   ├── renderer.tsx
│   └── main.ts
└── dist/
    ├── renderer.js         # referenced by manifest "renderer"
    ├── main.js             # referenced by manifest "main" (optional)
    └── theme.css           # optional stylesheet for contributes.themes

At runtime HarborClient reads manifest.json, the Markdown description, icon, screenshots, and the files referenced under dist/.

See Manifest for field reference and Building for packaging steps.
