Starts the Data Analyst initiative: a local-first analyst that points the agent at CSV, Parquet, JSON, Excel and SQLite files on disk, answers questions in read-only SQL, and draws charts in the console. This PR adds the ADR and the two pieces core needs. The analyst itself is a plugin: protoLabsAI/data-plugin#1 (v0.1.0). That PR depends on this one.

ADR 0116: local-first data analyst

docs/adr/0116-local-first-data-analyst-duckdb-and-vega-lite-charts.md (Proposed). It records these decisions:

  • DuckDB, embedded, queries files where they sit. SQLite and Excel files are snapshotted to Parquet, because their DuckDB extensions would have to INSTALL from the network.

  • Read-only is enforced by the engine. Each query gets a fresh in-memory connection with:

    • exact-file allowed_paths
    • enable_external_access=false
    • a private temp dir
    • extension autoload and autoinstall off
    • lock_configuration

    On top of that, a guard admits exactly one SELECT statement, and row, time and memory caps apply.

  • The scope is an operator-only data_dirs setting (spawns: true), fenced the same way as campaign's upload dirs. It is re-checked on every query.

  • A core vega-lite artifact kind and a plugin-services call seam (below).

  • Exports go only to the agent's workspace.

  • Open questions for Josh: naming, archetype scope, dashboards.

vega-lite artifact kind

show_artifact(kind="vega-lite", code=<spec>) renders a Vega-Lite spec whose rows are inline in data.values. The model writes a few hundred bytes of JSON instead of a React component.

  • Vendored libraries. vega 6.4.0, vega-lite 6.4.3 and vega-embed 7.3.0 (BSD-3-Clause) are copied byte-for-byte from their UMD builds. They are SRI-pinned in LIB, served from the allowlisted same-origin vendor/ route, and covered by the existing plugins/artifact/vendor/** -text. Notices for everything they bundle are in vendor/vega.LICENSES.txt. Same pattern as the feat(artifact): render .pptx file artifacts as real slides #4019 pptx renderer.
  • Sandbox. Charts run in the same no-same-origin frame as other artifacts, under a nonce CSP with no network: connect-src 'none', and images and fonts from data: only.
    • Vega's expressions run in the CSP-safe interpreter (ast: true, which vega-embed 7.3 bundles), so the CSP never needs 'unsafe-eval'.
    • Vega's loader refuses every load: data.url, a spec loaded by URL, and image marks.
    • A spec's usermeta.embedOptions is stripped. vega-embed would otherwise merge it over our options, including the loader.
    • No export or editor menu.
  • Server-side checks. A spec that isn't a JSON object, or that has a url inside any data block, is refused when it is written (create, update and rewrite), with a reason the model can act on.
  • Theme. Charts use the console's own data-viz tokens (--pl-color-chart-series1…8, -axis, -grid, plus fg, bg and font) and redraw on a live theme switch. pushTheme now sends those tokens to every frame.
  • Render verdict. It comes from the embed promise, not from load. Errors inside the dataflow reach it through a logger.
  • The kind is added to the artifact-ref chip on both sides (_ref.py, artifactRef.ts).

Plugin services (cross-plugin call seam)

Before this, a plugin could only fire-and-forget on the bus or import another plugin's internals.

  • Provider: registry.register_service(name, fn, description) offers a callable as <plugin_id>.<name>. Names are namespaced and malformed ones are refused.
  • Consumer: graph.sdk.service(name) resolves it at call time. It returns None when the provider is off, and consumers degrade.
  • Wiring:
    • The loader aggregates services.
    • _apply_plugin_registries rebinds them wholesale on every reload, in both the main process and the operator-MCP process.
    • The testkit fake raises on registrations the host would refuse.
    • tests/conftest.py isolates the table per test.
  • First service: artifact.show(kind, code, title) -> {ok, id, version, message, ref}. It is show_artifact without links, and refusals come back as data. The data plugin's data_chart creates charts through it.
  • docs/reference/plugin-{registry,sdk}-api.md were regenerated.

Tests

  • tests/test_artifact_vega.py (30). Covers:

    • the kind, and refusals on create, update and rewrite
    • the service result and its refusal shape
    • the vendor route and notices
    • the CSP directives
    • the error boot waiting for the embed
    • the theme-token set

    It also runs the frame controller under node against a stubbed vega-embed, checking: ast: true, every loader method rejects, actions: false, the theme config built from tokens, a live redraw on re-theme (messages from non-parents are ignored), usermeta.embedOptions stripped, bad specs never embedded, and facet sizing.

  • tests/test_plugin_services.py (14): namespacing, refusals, first-registration-wins, the testkit, wholesale replacement, and an end-to-end path from a real plugin dir through load_plugins and _apply_plugin_registries to sdk.service, plus a reload that drops it.

  • SRI inventory tests now cover all 8 UMD libs. Console: artifactRef.test.ts accepts vega-lite.

Live check (throwaway instance: :7907, own box root, PROTOAGENT_INSTANCE=datachart)

  • Dark and light themes: the chart renders in the DS dark and light chart palettes, with the background matched to the panel, no CSP errors and no error overlay.
  • Live re-theme: with no reload, the ground, title and series colours switch.
  • Hostile spec: a spec with image-mark URLs pointing at the instance plus a usermeta.embedOptions loader override made zero requests, and the action menu stayed off.
  • End to end with the data plugin: I asked what were my best weekdays last quarter? chart it on 92 days of synthetic coffee-shop sales, using anthropic-oauth:claude-sonnet-5-5. The agent connected the allowlisted folder, queried, and called data_chart, and the chip and a clean render verdict came back. Send to chart took 17.9 s (the full turn, including the written answer, took 25.5 s). The React-component path in the launch demo took about 50 s.

Not in this PR

  • The plugin itself (data-plugin#1).
  • The Data Analyst archetype bundle (scope is an open question in the ADR).
  • No version bump: the plugin's min_protoagent_version is 0.192.0, assuming this ships in the next minor.

ADR 0116 records the local-first Data Analyst design (DuckDB over files in
place, an operator-only data_dirs fence, engine-enforced read-only SQL; the
plugin itself ships in protoLabsAI/data-plugin) and lands the two pieces core
needs for it.

- vega-lite artifact kind: a Vega-Lite spec with its rows inline renders in
  the Artifact panel. vega 6.4.0 / vega-lite 6.4.3 / vega-embed 7.3.0
  (BSD-3-Clause, their own UMD builds byte-for-byte, notices in
  vendor/vega.LICENSES.txt) are vendored, SRI-pinned and served same-origin.
  The frame runs under a nonce CSP with no network; expressions use the
  CSP-safe interpreter (ast:true, no eval); Vega's loader refuses every load
  and a spec's usermeta.embedOptions is stripped. Specs that aren't a JSON
  object or carry a data url are refused at write time. Charts are themed
  from the console's --pl-color-chart-* tokens and redraw on a live theme
  switch.
- Plugin services: registry.register_service(name, fn) offers a callable as
  <plugin_id>.<name>; graph.sdk.service(name) resolves it at call time (None
  when the provider is off). Rebound wholesale on every reload, in the main
  and operator-MCP processes. First service: artifact.show, which the data
  plugin's data_chart uses to create charts without importing this plugin.

Walkthrough

The change adds a plugin-service registry and SDK lookup, adds Vega-Lite chart artifacts with validated inline-data specs and sandboxed rendering, and documents a proposed local-first data analyst plugin.

Changes

Plugin services and Vega-Lite artifacts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local-first analyst proposal
docs/adr/0116-local-first-data-analyst-duckdb-and-vega-lite-charts.md, docs/adr/index.md, plugins/docs/nav.json
ADR 0116 describes the proposed data plugin, DuckDB query safeguards and scope, Vega-Lite charts, plugin services, and workspace-only exports. The ADR index and navigation link to it.
Service registration and collection
graph/plugins/registry.py, graph/plugins/testkit.py, graph/plugins/loader.py, docs/reference/plugin-registry-api.md, tests/test_plugin_services.py
Registries accept namespaced callable services with metadata. Plugin loading collects services, skips duplicate names, and records service names in plugin metadata. Tests and the API reference cover registration behavior.
Service wiring and lookup
graph/plugin_services.py, graph/sdk.py, server/plugin_wiring.py, tests/conftest.py, docs/reference/plugin-sdk-api.md, tests/test_plugin_services.py
Plugin wiring replaces the live service table. graph.sdk.service resolves a registered callable or returns None. Tests and SDK documentation cover lookup and provider removal.
Vega-Lite artifact creation and validation
apps/web/src/artifacts/artifactRef.ts, apps/web/src/artifacts/artifactRef.test.ts, plugins/artifact/_ref.py, plugins/artifact/_tools.py, plugins/artifact/__init__.py, tests/test_artifact_vega.py
Artifact references accept vega-lite. Creation and edits validate Vega-Lite specs, and the artifact plugin registers show_service when the registry supports service registration. Tests cover validation and service results.
Sandboxed chart rendering and supporting docs
plugins/artifact/shell.js, plugins/artifact/_routes.py, plugins/artifact/README.md, plugins/artifact/skills/rendering-artifacts/SKILL.md, changelog.d/4025.added.md, tests/test_artifact_vega.py, tests/test_artifact_plugin.py, tests/test_artifact_slides.py
The artifact shell serves pinned Vega libraries and renders charts in a sandboxed frame with network loading disabled, theme tokens, and embed-result reporting. Tests cover rendering and pinned assets. Documentation describes chart specs and the artifact service.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29c66

This change adds plugin services and Vega-Lite chart support, and no concrete runtime defect remains. Before merge, the ADR should be reworded so it does not imply data stays local when a remote model is configured.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29c66

The privacy promise is broader than the documented protections: locally read data may still be sent for remote processing. Strong isolation controls limit the new chart feature, although browser-level enforcement remains partially verified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: The new ADR says “Nothing is uploaded,” while its proposed tools return sample rows, query results and profiles to a runtime that can use external processing providers. Local query execution and offline chart rendering do not establish end-to-end data confidentiality. This is an overbroad design guarantee; the separate analyst implementation is not introduced here, and new runtime disclosure was not demonstrated.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The named-service seam expands supported invocation among already trusted in-process plugins, without establishing a separate caller-authorization boundary. Retaining a callable after unload does not, on the inspected evidence, grant an external attacker new privileges.
  • inferred — The privacy condition concerns local data returned to remote processing, including samples, query rows and profiles. It does not establish unrestricted filesystem access, cross-tenant disclosure or a newly deployed data reader in this PR.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained privacy finding identifies a mismatch between the unconditional no-upload statement and data-bearing tool results in an externally routable runtime. The analyst’s separate implementation and off-by-default design limit attribution: the PR adds the misleading guarantee, but new production egress is not demonstrated.
  • observed — The suspected Vega href bypass has strong static counterevidence: the vendored renderer routes hyperlink handling through loader.sanitize, and the supplied loader rejects that operation. This does not establish browser-wide network isolation, but it does not support retaining a confirmed navigation vulnerability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The nested frame grants scripts and pointer lock but not same-origin, popups or top navigation. Vega-Lite adds nonce-only scripts, no eval, blocked connection and embedding directives, constrained image/font sources, fixed loader rejection and removal of user-supplied embed overrides.
  • observed — The supplied renderer tests use source assertions and a stubbed embed implementation. They support option propagation and validation but do not close the explicit browser-level request and navigation proof gap.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Callable and metadata dictionaries are published in separate assignments, allowing transient generation mismatch under concurrency. Lookup reads one callable table, and the inspected consumers do not establish metadata as an authorization control; no security-impacting identity substitution was demonstrated.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate local file processing from end-to-end confidentiality in the privacy contract. State when data-bearing results reach external processing and what configuration or enforcement is required for a no-upload guarantee.
  • proposed — Close the browser proof gap with request and navigation observation under the actual frame policy, including hostile resource and href specs, redraw interruption and renderer errors. Preserve these as enforcement evidence when upgrading the vendored libraries.

## Context

The Data Analyst is a local-first agent shape: *your agent, your data, your way*. The operator points it at data that already sits on their disk — CSV, Parquet, JSON, Excel and SQLite files, or a folder of them — and the agent explores it, answers questions in SQL, and puts charts in the console. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is imported into a database first.

Sensitive Data Exposure

CWE: CWE-200 — Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Qualify the “Nothing is uploaded” claim. The ADR says data_schema returns sample rows and data_query returns query results to the agent. If the configured model is remote, those results can be sent to that model. Separate local file access from model locality.

Suggested wording
- Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is imported into a database first.
+ The files are queried in place and are not imported into a database first. If the configured model is remote, dataset content returned by tools such as `data_schema` and `data_query` can be sent to that model.

…r enforces service namespaces

Review findings on #4025:
- The data-url check no longer descends into inline rows (`values` / `datasets`), on the server
  or in the frame. A table with a `url` column (page hits) was refused, which broke data_chart
  on any such table. A `url` inside any other data definition is still refused.
- The spec walk is now iterative and bounded (64 levels, 100k structural nodes), and json's own
  RecursionError is caught. A spec nested ~700 deep is now a clean refusal; before, it raised
  RecursionError through show_service, which promises never to raise for a refusal.
- The loader skips, with a warning, any service a plugin puts outside `<manifest.id>.`. A
  plugin writing `registry.services` directly could otherwise shadow artifact.show.
- The show_service docstring says it can block for up to ~3.2 s (render-verdict wait, file lock),
  so async callers should use asyncio.to_thread.

Each fix has a test that fails before it.

Review-gate waiver for df60bfb. The QA panel posted no verdict on this head, so two rounds of adversarial review served as the gate.

  • Round 1 (FIX-FIRST)
    • Charts were refused when rows had a url column, because the remote-reference walk went into data.values.
    • Deeply nested specs raised RecursionError.
    • Services registered outside the plugin's namespace weren't enforced.
    • Fixed, with 7 tests that fail without the fixes.
  • Round 2 (MERGE)
    • All repros now pass.
    • 8 remote-reference shapes are still refused: a top-level data.url, a lookup from.data.url, a layer/concat/repeat/facet with data.url, and named data.
    • The namespace check accepts artifact.show.
  • Security (round 1)
    • The vendored vega 6.4.0, vega-lite 6.4.3 and vega-embed 7.3.0 are byte-identical to their npm tarballs, and the SRI pins match.
    • The nonce CSP sits in the same document as vega and blocks all network access. The sandbox is allow-scripts allow-pointer-lock with no same-origin. The loader denies every load. ast:true uses vega-interpreter, so there's no eval.
    • Licences are covered.
  • Gates: ruff and lint-imports (4 contracts) pass, the full suite has 11895 passing, and CI is green.

All four findings were confirmed by the verifier; none were refuted. The most actionable item is the graph.plugin_services import in testkit.py (line 344), which breaks the file's explicit "stdlib only, zero protoAgent-internal imports" vendoring contract — this is the fix-first item. The remaining three are test-coverage gaps (new vega-lite kind untested in the parametrize list, no Python tests for the new plugin-services seam) and a nit-level flakiness risk in a timing assertion. No panel disagreement; no coverage gaps on heavily-changed files. Verification confirmed all four without modification.

1 structural finding(s) are nearby notes, not part of the verdict: they sit in code this PR did not change (outside its changed lines and the functions those lines are in). Worth a look; not a request for this PR.
