# Default registry name reads as `registry:`
|
|
|
|
Residual from `CANP-WP-0002` (`origin: residual`, `origin_ref: CANP-WP-0002`).
|
|
|
|
## Give the default registry a better name
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: CANP-WP-0003-T01
|
|
status: todo
|
|
priority: low
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "ead2d409-2b80-5f50-9f0f-a397822ba2ae"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`CANP-WP-0002-T02` made a registry's name come from its `registry.yaml`, and
|
|
otherwise from its directory basename (§ 20.1). The reference tool's default
|
|
registry lives at `~/.canned-prompts/registry`, so its basename-derived name is
|
|
`registry`, and every install from it reads:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
installed registry:practice/pqrst-estimate@0.1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That is honest — it is genuinely what the directory is called — but it reads
|
|
poorly, and `registry:` is a confusing qualifier for the one registry most
|
|
users will ever see.
|
|
|
|
Deliberately not fixed in `CANP-WP-0002`: special-casing the default path to
|
|
produce a prettier name would be exactly the kind of magic the § 20.1 rule was
|
|
written to avoid, and it was not worth an exception mid-task.
|
|
|
|
Options worth weighing:
|
|
|
|
1. Write a starter `registry.yaml` when the default registry is first created,
|
|
naming it something like `default` or `local-registry`. Uses the documented
|
|
mechanism rather than bypassing it; the cost is a tool writing a file into
|
|
a store the user may consider theirs.
|
|
2. Rename the default directory itself, so the basename is already good.
|
|
Changes an existing on-disk layout.
|
|
3. Accept it and document it. Zero code, and the escape hatch — add a
|
|
`registry.yaml` — already exists and is documented.
|
|
|
|
Option 3 is the current state. Pick deliberately rather than by default.
