jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 2235cc4c19 drop leading zeros from all D/Q/R/T IDs
pql 1.2.0 changed its record format to drop leading zeros. All
262 references across 18 files renumbered (D-001→D-1, T-043→T-43,
etc.). pql-plan.json export updated as the git source of truth
for the planning database. DB rebuilt via pql plan import.

# Open Questions — Extensions
Extension API shape, Lua runtime vendoring, manifest schema version.
---
### Q-8: Extension API shape — widgets, subcommands, both?
- **Status:** Open
- **Question:** Should extensions contribute widgets (panels, tabs, status-bar items), subcommands (CLI verbs), or both? Both is the obvious answer but has a cost in API surface that must be designed carefully to satisfy user/Claude parity ([D-6](architecture.md)).
- **Context:** CLAUDE.md flags this as "decide during Tier 6." `builtin.*` stubs today contribute widgets + commands + keybindings; the third-party Lua contract has to match.
- **Source:** CLAUDE.md "Open questions" footer.
### Q-9: Lua runtime vendoring
- **Status:** Open
- **Question:** Does the Lua supporter tool ([D-19](extensions.md#d-19-lua-runtime-as-ptyc-peer-supporter-tool)) bundle liblua source (build with the binary) or link system liblua (smaller binary, fragile ABI)?
- **Context:** `ptyc` has no deps; Lua is different — it's a whole VM. Bundling is the straightforward choice but locks a Lua version per clide release.
- **Source:** 2026-04-21 planning.
### Q-10: Extension manifest `schema_version:`
- **Status:** Open
- **Question:** What's the manifest schema-version scheme and bump policy? Coupled with [Q-5](questions-architecture.md#q-5-ipc-wire-format-stability) (IPC wire format) — both want a versioning story.
- **Context:** Today's manifests have no `schema_version:`. Adding one is cheap; the hard part is deciding when we bump.
