Add MuteOnSleep to Plugin Store

[genc-v]

Automatically mutes your Steam Deck's audio right before it goes to sleep, so you don't get blasted with sound when you wake it up in public. Uses a toggle in the Quick Access Menu to enable/disable. Hooks into the Steam client's SuspendResumeStore via MobX to detect suspension, then calls pactl to mute and set volume to 0%.

LGTM, to testing store now

[beebls]

One thing to note, you will need to update your plugin's license to either BSD-3 or a compatible license because that is the license of the plugin template itself, which you will have had to had used in order to create a plugin.

I'll let the plugin go to testing store now, but you will need to change the license before we can fully release it.

Looks like requests are failing because you don't have an image in your plugin.json, please add this (you can refer to other plugins for examples on what they should look like)

[EMERALD0874]

Your LICENSE is incorrect. Please see the license of the plugin template repo and replace "Hypothetical Plugin Developer" and its year with your own information if you wish to use BSD-3. Crediting Steam Deck Homebrew is mandatory.

Issues

Has the following major blocking issue(s):

• Plugin fails to load with TypeError: plugin_exports.default is not a function at PluginLoader.importReactPlugin. Backend loads successfully (log: MuteOnSleep loaded), but frontend JS bundle crashes during import. Same error as previously reported on v1.0.0-bc9d6d5 — persists in v1.0.1-856b414.

Has the following minor non-blocking issue(s): None

Summary

Installed MuteOnSleep 1.0.1-856b414 from the testing store. Plugin does not load — shows plugin_exports.default is not a function error immediately. Could not test any features.

Possible Cause - (This is AI analysis)

The error plugin_exports.default is not a function means Decky's PluginLoader.importReactPlugin expects a default export from the JS bundle, but doesn't find one. Your src/index.tsx uses export default definePlugin(...) which looks correct, so the issue is likely in the build output. Check that rollup.config.js outputs the format @decky/rollup expects and that the built dist/index.js actually contains a proper export default. If you're using an older @decky/rollup version or a custom rollup config, the bundle may be wrapping the export in a way Decky can't resolve. Rebuilding with the latest @decky/rollup and verifying dist/index.js contains a default export should fix this.

Additional note: Your plugin.json has "flags": ["root"] — the standard Decky convention is "_root" (with underscore prefix). This may not be related to the frontend crash but worth verifying against the plugin template.

Backend Logs

Backend logging is minimal — only a single MuteOnSleep loaded line on startup. For a plugin that hooks into suspend/resume via pactl, consider adding:

• Plugin version and pactl availability on startup
• Suspend/resume event detection
• pactl command execution results with stderr on failure
• User toggle enable/disable actions
