Apex and working directory render in web

Today apex manage the rendering of working directory (of HEAD) in web.

Problem

Apex is too big (3.4Mo) and make enormous work to render it. I have added an option to not use it but I think every body will want it.

Solution

I think render working dir could be done outside apex in another plugin.

Challenges

But how to render complete page outside of apex? This new plugin could render working_partial.html and apex integrate it in the global layout. But how apex could know about this partial in web?

Another choice could be to permit to plugin to talk between them. Like that this new plugin could call to apex::renderPage() directly.

Or we could introduce *_partial.html into gitroot itself.

Or we could use something like htmx to manage that.
