This is an offline reference. MCP calls quoted below describe the connected workflow; use the linked documents and create local files instead. Live state, installed plugins, available providers and the user's active theme are unknown. Never claim a live check.

Read with [styling](https://smabar.com/docs/plugin-ref-styling.md) and [examples](https://smabar.com/docs/plugin-ref-examples.md).

## tile

```json
"Persistent compact bar content. Uses the configured tile chrome unless the tile manifest overrides it."
```

## flyout

```json
"Persistent detail content opened by click (and shown as the hover preview while no hover content exists). Optional width requests: conventions.flyoutWidth. Split layouts: sb-split and snippets.splitFlyout."
```

## hover

```json
"Optional persistent hover-preview content. Once pushed, hovering the tile shows THIS content after the user's hoverPeek delay instead of the click flyout — even when the user disabled the generic hover preview (the tile's hover content overrides that setting for this tile). A click pins the normal flyout target. Identical preview and flyout HTML is promoted in place with its DOM and scroll preserved; different compact previews are replaced. Remote iframe players still load only when pinned. Cached and replayed like tile/flyout."
```

## popup

```json
"Transient toast content. Send ui.render with target=\"popup\". ttlMs omitted or null makes the popup STICKY — it stays until the user clicks its X button; an unsigned 32-bit integer ttlMs auto-dismisses after that many ms, clamped to 1000–120000. Any other ttlMs falls back to 5000 ms and is logged once instead of becoming sticky. Popups stack at a user-configured screen position (popups.position, up to 5 visible and 45 queued) — the plugin cannot choose the position. When the bounded queue is full, the oldest waiting popup is discarded and reported in the plugin log. Auto-dismiss pauses while the user hovers a popup or keeps keyboard focus inside it. Popups may be disabled globally (do-not-disturb). Buttons with data-action are interactive and reach the normal plugin handler. For stable IDs, updates, explicit closing, delivery events and an optional local sound use app.popups.show(tile_id,popup_id,html,...) and app.popups.dismiss(...); see plugin_guide sdk.popups. Keep the task state in plugin storage and dismiss only after a successful write."
