A lot of discussions are ongoing around how the Crane 2 UI might look when integrated into the OCP console using the dynamic plugin APIs. For this story, we're looking to build a POC to prove out how a next-gen Crane/MTC 2 UI will look, learn how it can integrate with the OCP console, and what limitations exist that we'll need to work within.

For this deliverable, we're looking for a demoable POC that is a "hello world" dynamic plugin. We'd like to lay the foundation for what the front-end stack looks like so this can be picked up by someone other than Ian and we can build on top of that. Since we expect the initial Crane 2 UI to probably be a wizard that builds up a Tekton Pipeline, let's experiment getting something that looks like that.

Some questions to answer:

• Can we establish an architecture that actually uses websockets to watch a CRD API surface?
• Is there a better alternative to a react-saga based data layer? (react query?)
• What can you actually do with the OCP dynamic plugin API at this point?
