Build and sideload

Do this after the echo sample runs.

From src-extension, pack the examples. The script builds them in release mode and writes one zip per sample under dist.

./pack.sh

Each zip has the manifest, the executable, and a ui folder only when the extension has a panel.

manifest.json
bin/echo-tool-daemon
ui/index.html

The manifest in the zip must be the same file the process parses at startup. The samples embed that file and parse it before they serve, so a bad manifest fails immediately.

Install the zip on this machine. This path skips the store, the signature, and sign-in. Use it for a program you just compiled. It is not how you publish to other people.

koma ext install --dev /path/to/your.zip

After it is installed, open Koma and use the tool, or open the tab, the way the sample describes.

Removing the extension removes its tools, its models, and its providers together. Settings will not delete a provider an extension owns. Uninstall is the removal. See Lifecycle.
