Insight: Code Connect v1.4 introduces slot support via figma.slot() for mapping Figma slot layer properties, a beta migration tool (figma connect migrate) for converting parser-based files to parserless templates, and automatic template file detection (eliminating --include-template-files flag). The default template extension changes from .figma.template.js to .figma.js.

Detail: v1.4.0 features: React slot support via figma.slot(), parserless template migration tool (beta), new .figma.js default extension (backward compatible), instance.getSlot(name) for slot references in templates, optional component and source comment fields. Dependencies add @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps (1.0.1) and puppeteer (24.36.1), suggesting MCP Apps integration. v1.4.1 patches an issue with publishing template files without a source value, defaulting to empty string.
