Issue and question around zellij pipe with status-bar plugin

[gillisd]

Background

I'm attempting to communicate with the status-bar plugin using zellij pipe to display a notification message, but I'm encountering difficulties with both documentation and debugging.

Issues

1. Missing Documentation for Plugin APIs

• Unable to find documentation for the public APIs of stock plugins that can be used with the pipe feature
• Specifically looking for the standard public interface for CLI messaging with the status-bar plugin

2. Debugging Difficulties

• All zellij pipe commands return exit 0 regardless of input, even with --debug flag
• No log output is being generated

Questions

1. Where can I find documentation for the public APIs of stock plugins, specifically for use with zellij pipe?
2. What methods are available to debug zellij pipe communications? Are there verbose logging options?

Environment

• Zellij version: 0.41.1
• Operating System: Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.1 (23H222)
• Shell: zsh

This capability does not exist in zellij yet. imsnif just asked input on Discord before actually doing it.
Are you thinking about the zj-status-bar tab-alerts function?
