feat: platform extension migrator + code mode rename by alexhancock · Pull Request #6611 · block/goose

alexhancock · 2026-01-21T17:15:04Z

Summary

At present, it's impossible to rename or edit platform extensions in the stored config. For three reasons:

We use the "name" as both the id and the display name
We never update the values in config.yaml if the platform extension is already there
We have no concept of versions for each extension

This PR introduces two new values that make it possible to update the config stored in a user's configuration file for platform extensions - display_name (shows in the UI, and is not coupled to the name identifier) and version which can be bumped when we have made config updates to an extension to have it take effect in the config file.

It also introduces the first migration which is to rename "Code Execution" to "Code Mode" per the request in #6581

This can also be used in the future to rename or edit other extension config (descriptions, default enabled value, etc)

    }
+
+    if needs_save {
+        save_extensions_map(extensions_map.clone());


The clone operation is unnecessary here. Since extensions_map is returned at the end of the function, you could pass it by value to save_extensions_map instead of cloning it. Consider changing save_extensions_map to take ownership and return the map, or restructure the logic to avoid the clone.

This makes sense to me. But what if we instead just had a "config migrator" that did anything necessary when it sees the config version doesn't match?

It could run any time we load the config file, and migrations could manipulate the document however necessary, including something like this

michaelneale

I think this makes sense - maybe @jamadeo or @DOsinga could think over what the version of things means and if there are unexpected side effects, but I think this makes sense.

alexhancock · 2026-01-22T22:24:04Z

@jamadeo @michaelneale That's a good idea. A versionless generate-diff-and-maybe-update seems better than putting version fields in if it can work. I will attempt tomorrow morning and update this PR.

Normally I would just merge and try to improve but this is going to write version values to config files, so I will try to improve it in this way before merge.

alexhancock · 2026-01-23T19:18:55Z

@jamadeo updated to a versionless approach. good call!

                        name: def.name.to_string(),
                        description: def.description.to_string(),
+                        display_name: Some(def.display_name.to_string()),
                        bundled: Some(true),
                        available_tools: Vec::new(),


This migration overwrites any existing bundled/available_tools settings for platform extensions (resetting to Some(true) and an empty tool list), which can unintentionally broaden tool availability and discard user config; preserve the existing values when present and only update the fields you intend to migrate (e.g., description/display_name).

 pub struct PlatformExtensionDef {
    pub name: &'static str,
+    pub display_name: &'static str,
    pub description: &'static str,
    pub default_enabled: bool,


The PR description mentions adding per-extension version and version-driven migrations, but the platform extension definition/config only adds display_name (no version field), so migrations are currently based on field diffs; either implement the version field end-to-end (schema + config + migration logic) or update the PR description to match the actual behavior.

+    if needs_save {
+        save_extensions_map(extensions_map.clone());
+    }


get_extensions_map() now writes to disk during reads; if save_extensions_map fails, the migration silently won’t persist and callers still proceed with the in-memory map, so consider returning/propagating a Result (or at least surfacing a warning/error) so migration failures aren’t hidden.

jamadeo · 2026-01-27T17:40:33Z

@alexhancock I was actually thinking that this could live in the config load itself. Then any time we need to change the config structure we can do it here.

WDYT?

+            if let Err(e) = self.save_values(values.clone()) {
+                tracing::warn!("Failed to save migrated config: {}", e);


Config::load() may write the migrated config back to disk without taking self.guard, which can race with concurrent set_param/delete calls and cause lost updates; take the same mutex around the migration save (or route through a guarded write path).

Suggested change

if let Err(e) = self.save_values(values.clone()) {

tracing::warn!("Failed to save migrated config: {}", e);

// Persist migrated config under the same guard used by other writers

match self.guard.lock() {

Ok(_guard) => {

if let Err(e) = self.save_values(values.clone()) {

tracing::warn!("Failed to save migrated config: {}", e);

}

}

+}


The PR description and example config show a per-extension version field used to drive migrations, but this PR only adds display_name (no version field in ExtensionConfig, OpenAPI, or the migration logic); either implement the versioned migration mechanism or update the PR description/screenshots to match the actual behavior.
