Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issue #34 and the current plugin and tab behavior. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point, and the placement and plugin interface remain unspecified. Before implementation, clarify which locations can host the tab, how plugins use its canvas, and what behavior defines completion.
