Why

The first real kitctl apply (cairn, Gestalt's gestalt-flow + gestalt-plugin, kitctl 0.1.1, Windows) turned up three kitctl problems and one doc slip.

What

  1. validate no longer crashes on a marketplace with no git source (0f7aade, review fix in 83269c2). resolve.marketplace() passed source.git = None to _github_slug on the Codex path, so validate died with AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'. model.py now requires source.git on every marketplace primitive, external or not (_check_kind is skipped for external ones, so the rule sits beside the _check_source call). New test test_marketplace_without_a_git_source_is_a_problem covers both cases through parse_primitive and validate; it fails on 641142d ("DID NOT RAISE ModelError") and passes here.
  2. Codex marketplace remedy names the route for older Codex (debd53e, 83269c2). The marketplace_fetch fact was verified on Codex 0.163.0. On codex-cli 0.144.1, with the project trusted, codex plugin marketplace upgrade <name> fails with "not configured as a Git marketplace" and codex plugin list shows only user marketplaces. The remedy now reads: upgrade (0.163.0), or on an older Codex codex plugin marketplace add <slug> --ref <ref>, then codex plugin add <plugin>@<name> (what worked on 0.144.1). Three Codex goldens change in that one remedy line only. docs/harness-reference.md records the 0.144.1 and Claude Code 2.1.304 CLI observations; owner-checklist.md and pilot-brand-studio.md say which Codex version the upgrade-only route holds for.
    • Not changed: harness.py's marketplace_file Fact note (still the 0.163.0 wording). A local structural-budget hook blocks edits to that file (2 top-level classes > 1); the version scope is in the remedy and the docs. Claude Code has no remedy to change: its CLI ignores a project's extraKnownMarketplaces (claude plugin install <name> --marketplace <owner/repo> --scope local worked), but the interactive prompt was not exercised, so only the docs say so.
  3. Docs (cfc3267): the #npm example uses <version> instead of 0.0.1 (CodeRabbit on Print UTF-8 on every platform; prepare 0.1.1 #12).
  4. Per-repo structural budgets (9644f9d, 240b100): .claude/structural-budgets.json sets exceptions for model.py (889 lines), resolve.py (1233) and cli.py (551), which were already over that hook's 400-line tier. Limits are the measured size plus about 3%. Splitting them is not scheduled.

Proposal (not implemented): derive marketplaces from plugins

A plugin primitive already names marketplace: marketplace:<name>, and the resolver already loads it, but only a loadout's marketplaces: list is compiled. Deriving it would let ConnorBritain/gestalt#7 drop its catalog marketplace field. It touches: the active set and compile loop (a derived marketplace needs a layer, the enabling plugin's), disable (keep it while any active plugin needs it; disabling a needed one becomes a conflict), profiles (derive after _apply_profile), and ledger ownership (explicit vs derived, removal when the last plugin goes). Every plan with plugins would change. A cheaper first step: a validate warning "plugin X needs marketplace Y, which is not in the loadout".

Checks (Windows, Python 3.12, LF clone)

uv sync --locked, ruff check, ruff format --check, mypy, pytest (173 passed, 5 skipped), check_secrets, uv build, prepare_npm, npm test: all green on 83269c2.

Reviews: verification critic SHIP (no reward hacking; goldens change only the remedy line); architecture review SHIP WITH FIXES, applied except the harness.py move above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Marketplace definitions now produce a validation error when the Git source is missing or does not include a nonempty URL.
  • Documentation

    • Updated marketplace setup and upgrade guidance to reflect differences across older and newer Codex and Claude Code versions, including an alternate setup path for older Codex versions.
    • Updated npm publishing guidance to use the release version in package checks and tarball names.

Connor's structural-sensor hook blocks any edit to a file over its budget.
src/kitctl/model.py (889 lines), resolve.py (1233) and cli.py (551) were
already over the 400-line standard tier, so no fix could touch them. Each
exception is the measured size plus a small margin, with the measurement in
its reason; splitting the modules is a separate refactor.
resolve.marketplace() passed source.git = None to _github_slug on the
Codex path, so validate died with an AttributeError instead of naming the
file. The model now requires source.git on every marketplace primitive,
external or not; a test covers both, through parse_primitive and validate.
The fact behind the marketplace_fetch gap was verified on Codex 0.163.0. On
codex-cli 0.144.1 (Connor's machine) a trusted project's [marketplaces.*]
is not read at all, so 'codex plugin marketplace upgrade <name>' fails with
'not configured as a Git marketplace'. The remedy now also gives the route
that worked there: marketplace add --ref <sha>, then plugin add. The three
Codex goldens carry the new remedy. docs/harness-reference.md records the
0.144.1 and Claude Code 2.1.304 CLI observations.
CodeRabbit on #12: the 0.1.1 steps point to #npm, whose commands still
named kitctl-0.0.1.tgz and kitctl@0.0.1.
Review follow-up. Limits are now the measured size plus about 3% of lines
and one function or import; the comment no longer claims a tracked
refactor or names a personal hook path.
- resolve.py builds the 'codex plugin marketplace add' command once for both
  remedies, with a note that the upgrade route was verified on 0.163.0.
- model.py: a non-mapping source is already a type problem, so the
  marketplace rule no longer adds a second one.
- owner-checklist, pilot-brand-studio and harness-reference say which Codex
  version the upgrade-only route holds for.

Walkthrough

The changes add version-specific Codex marketplace instructions and remedies, require marketplace primitives to have a Git source, update publishing commands to use a version placeholder, and add structural-budget exceptions for three modules.

Changes: Marketplace compatibility guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document CLI version behavior
docs/harness-reference.md, docs/owner-checklist.md, docs/pilot-brand-studio.md
The documentation records observed marketplace behavior across Codex and Claude Code versions. It gives older Codex versions a marketplace-add route and retains the upgrade instruction for newer versions.
Add older-Codex remedy
src/kitctl/resolve.py, tests/fixtures/expected/brand-studio*.json
The Codex marketplace-fetch remedy adds an older-version fallback that adds the marketplace and then the plugin. The expected fixtures include the fallback. The unsupported-marketplace remedy uses the shared add_market command string.

Marketplace source validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Require marketplace Git source
src/kitctl/model.py, tests/test_resolve.py
Marketplace parsing reports a required problem when a mapping source lacks a nonempty string git value. Tests cover a missing source, external: true, and a Git source without a URL, including warehouse validation.

Publishing instructions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Use versioned publishing commands
docs/publishing.md
The guide uses <version> in tarball and registry commands and gives 0.1.1 as an example release.

Structural budget exceptions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set per-file structural limits
.claude/structural-budgets.json
The configuration adds measured structural-budget exceptions for src/kitctl/model.py, src/kitctl/resolve.py, and src/kitctl/cli.py.

Require source.git to be a non-empty string.

A truthy non-string value such as git: true passes the current checks when sha is valid. During Codex resolution, _github_slug calls .startswith() on that value. validate catches ModelError, but not this AttributeError.

CodeRabbit on #13: 'git: true' with a valid sha passed the new check, and
_github_slug would still crash on .startswith(). The rule now requires a
string; the test gains that case (it fails on the previous commit).
