I'm still trying to get a handle on how best to do extension stuff. Like, okay, I need a manifest.json file. Is that something that it makes more sense to generate or hardcode? Where is the extension-writing guide for people who got turned off of JavaScript like ten years ago because "Uh... something about variable scoping"?

I know I need to do a lot more research here, because otherwise I'll put together something that only mostly sort of works, if that.

Thinking about what I'm trying to proof-of-concept here... I have a common library. It is, I think, getting bundled into a wasm file in a pkg directory. I believe I want every file in that directory to be somehow accessible from a directory with a manifest.json file. On top of that, the manifest.json file has to somehow point at those files so that they actually get used.

I'm not going to figure out anything else right now; I've got to get some sleep.

Good night.
