Nocode 96/cmd runner

[nocode-96]

Plugin

• Id: nocode-96/cmd-runner
• New plugin
• Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

Command Runner adds a top-bar widget that lets users save custom CLI commands and execute them silently in the background with a single click — no terminal window pops up. Commands that require sudo store the password once at save time so subsequent runs are one-click. Completed runs show their stdout/stderr and exit code inside a collapsible log view directly in the panel.

External dependencies

None. Command Runner is self-contained and uses only Noctalia's built-in noctalia.runAsync API for background execution. Sudo commands are dispatched via the standard sudo -S pattern using the cached password.

Testing

• How it was exercised:

  • Widget left-click opens/closes the panel.
  • Added, edited, and deleted commands via the Add/Edit form.
  • Ran a non-sudo command (echo hello) and verified stdout appeared in the log view.
  • Ran a sudo command and confirmed the password is cached and not re-prompted on subsequent runs.
  • Toggled show_label and show_toast settings and confirmed the widget and notifications respond correctly.
  • Verified that the sudo password field is empty (not pre-filled) when opening the Edit form for an existing command.
  • Confirmed commands.json stores passwords obfuscated (prefixed with enc:) and not as plain text.

Checklist

• The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
• It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
• README.md follows the README template, documents every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
• I created thumbnail.webp with the thumbnail generator.
• version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
• Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
• I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
• This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

• The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
• It does not download and execute remote code.
• Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
• I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.
