/**
 * The SafeBrowser component implementation is responsible for executing the safeBrowser component
 * of a plugin.
 *
 * A plugin's safeBrowser component is made of one main entry point (the javascript files declares
 * in the manifest), html files and any resources included by the html files (css, scripts, images
 * ...). The main script is the main entry point which uses the Grist API to render the views,
 * communicate with them en dispose them.
 *
 * The main script is executed within a WebWorker, and the html files are rendered within webviews
 * if run within electron, or iframe in case of the browser.
 *
 * Communication between the main process and the views are handle with rpc.
 *
 * If the plugins includes as well an unsafeNode component or a safePython component and if one of
 * them registers a function using the Grist Api, this function can then be called from within the
 * safeBrowser main script using the Grist API, as described in `app/plugin/Grist.ts`.
 *
 * The grist API available to safeBrowser components is implemented in `app/plugin/PluginImpl.ts`.
 *
 * All the safeBrowser's component resources, including the main script, the html files and any
 * other resources needed by the views, should be placed within one plugins' subfolder, and Grist
 * should serve only this folder. However, this is not yet implemented and is left as a TODO, as of
 * now the whole plugin's folder is served.
