Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
This PR adds an interactive “catalog approval” flow to unblock installing extensions from discovery-only catalogs, and persists that approval into the project’s .specify/extension-catalogs.yml. It also tightens YAML serialization safety and adds a __main__.py entry-point.
Changes:
- Add
ExtensionCatalog.approve_catalog_install()to persistinstall_allowed: truefor an active catalog while preserving the catalog stack. - Update
extension addUX to prompt for approval before starting any spinner/install work; refresh several related CLI messages. - Switch YAML writes to
yaml.safe_dumpand addsrc/specify_cli/__main__.py.

Description
This PR introduces an interactive approval flow when users attempt to install an extension from a non-approved catalog (like the
communitycatalog). Previously, users were met with a hard error instructing them to manually edit.specify/extension-catalogs.yml.Changes Made
extension_addnow prompts the user with a warning panel if the extension's catalog is not approved. If approved interactively, it updates the config and proceeds with installation.approve_catalog_installinExtensionCatalogto cleanly serialize and write the updated active catalogs to YAML, preserving the full catalog stack (including defaults).extension_searchandextension_infoCLI output to guide users to runspecify extension addinstead of manual file editing.yaml.dumpwithyaml.safe_dumpin all catalog-related commands for consistency and safety.__main__.pytospecify_cliso the package can be invoked locally usingpython -m specify_cliwithout global installation collisions.
