Panel controls

The PS Agent Bridge panel provides:
  • Connection status line (Connected/Disconnected)
  • Single connect/disconnect toggle button
  • Transaction log (append-only, scrollable)
  • Clear Log button

​
Required permissions

photoshop-uxp-bridge/manifest.json requires:
  • Network access to all domains (requiredPermissions.network.domains = "all")
  • Local file system full access (requiredPermissions.localFileSystem = "fullAccess")
If network permission is missing or stale, bridge polling fails with URL permission errors.

​
Connection flow

  1. Bridge daemon receives CLI calls on /rpc.
  2. UXP plugin registers client on /bridge/register.
  3. Plugin long-polls /bridge/poll.
  4. Plugin executes operations and returns /bridge/result.

​
Reload rule

After plugin code or manifest changes:
  1. Run npm run bridge:reload (macOS automation path).
  2. If automation is unavailable, reload from UXP Developer Tool manually.
  3. Reconnect in panel UI only if auto-connect did not succeed.
Do not run Photoshop integration tests until reload is confirmed.
