hive

Overview ¶

Package hive provides the kernel plugin management infrastructure for Tierceron.

This package implements a dynamic plugin system that allows loading, managing, and orchestrating Go plugins at runtime. Key features include:

• Dynamic plugin loading and reloading
• Plugin lifecycle management (initialization, startup, shutdown)
• Certificate monitoring and automatic renewal
• Kernel command routing and execution
• Chat message handling and inter-plugin communication
• Panic recovery and error handling

Plugin Handler ¶

The PluginHandler manages multiple plugin kernels, each running in its own goroutine. It handles:

• Plugin registration and initialization
• Certificate lifecycle monitoring
• Dynamic plugin updates without downtime
• Safe channel communication between plugins

Safety Features ¶

All channel operations use generic safeChannelSend[T] to prevent panics from:

• Sending to closed channels
• Nil channel dereferences
• Closed channel detection

Usage ¶

The hive package is designed to work with plugins built using Go's plugin package. Plugins must implement the expected interface methods for initialization, startup, and shutdown operations.
