The plugin runtime received the active locale (init payload + 'locale-change')
and plugins could declare a `locales` map, but none of it was usable: the
locales never reached the runtime, and buildPluginApi exposed no i18n. So
plugin code calling pluginApi.i18n.t(...) (as the External Link Warning plugin
does) always got undefined and fell back to English.
Thread plugin locales end to end and surface an i18n API:
- ServerPlugin gains `locales`; the upload route persists manifest.locales
(alongside configSchema/settingsSchema), and /api/plugins surfaces it to the
client so it flows registry -> client -> sandbox host-bridge -> runtime.
- runtime sets __PLUGIN_LOCALE__ at init (not only on later 'locale-change')
and buildPluginApi exposes `i18n.locale` + `i18n.t(key, vars)` resolving
against the plugin's declared locales (manifest.locales) with English/key
fallback and {placeholder} interpolation.
Lets any sandboxed plugin localize its strings from its manifest.
Upstream 1.7.2 prefixes most hand-written URLs with basePath via apiFetch /
withBasePath, but four subpath-relevant spots were missed:
- host-bridge: the sandbox iframe src was a bare "/plugin-sandbox" -> 404
under NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH, breaking all plugins. Wrap in withBasePath.
- host-api doHttpPost: the same-origin /api/* plugin proxy used raw fetch on
url.pathname -> 404 under a subpath. Route it through apiFetch.
- admin branding preview <img>: unprefixed src -> broken thumbnail.
- (sandbox) layout: drop the Geist font + globals.css imports. The sandbox
runs with an opaque origin, so those assets are CORS-blocked; the plugin
bundle and all host API calls travel over the postMessage bridge, so no
same-origin asset fetch happens there.
