Row descriptions clamp at three lines instead of one. Metadata chips
(scope/type/auth) lose the loud accents — only status chips keep colour —
and the auth chip speaks human ("Requires an API key") instead of the
raw enum, via a shared authLabel().
Drop the access-grant section from the connector detail page: the Users
page modal already grants both global and per-user connectors, so
"who has what" now has a single surface.
The standalone Catalog page added nothing the Connectors page could not
do: drop it (component, route, sidebar entry) and move its affordances
onto the Connectors page — the Add-connector dropdown (marketplace /
manual form, now at #connectors/new) and per-row removal for the admin.
Replace the card grid with a sharper row list (4px radius) built for
scanning status and acting; the marketplace's back link now returns to
#connectors. i18n keys renamed catalog.* -> connectors.add/new/*.
Fills a gap the blueprint names: the admin had to hand-author every
`mcp_catalog` entry. A remote feed of vetted connectors now proposes them
and the admin installs — the feed is *consultative*, so §14's risk axis is
untouched and the trust anchor stays on the box.
Marketplace client (`src/frontend/api/marketplace.rs`):
- Fetches the feed server-side (it sends no CORS headers) and caches it;
icons are proxied for the same reason.
- Verifies every declared SHA-256 before writing, fail-closed and
all-or-nothing. Feed-supplied paths are refused if they escape
`./scripts/<id>/`. Importing an `mcp_local` entry still demands the
admin-only `mcp.register_local_script`.
- Translates the feed's vocabulary into Skald's: `user`→`per_user`,
`mcp_local`→`local_script`. Scope is read, never inferred from transport
(a remote connector can be per-user — that is what `mcp.register_remote`
is for), and an unreadable `type` fails closed to the answer needing more
authority. The feed's `llm_short_description` maps to `description`, the
column `render_mcp_list` puts in front of the LLM for `activate_tools()`.
- Feed URL is config (`marketplace.url`), not a constant: an on-premise
product must not hard-require reaching one vendor's host.
Two silent failures found while wiring it:
- `transport_of` maps anything unknown to Stdio, so the feed's
`streamable-http` would have tried to spawn a command. Normalised on import.
- Some servers want their key as a query param, not a bearer header, and say
so with a `{key}` placeholder. Substituted at connect time in
`global_row_spec`/`user_row_spec` — never at rest, so the key stays in its
own column and the stored URL stays a template.
Pages, split by the question each answers:
- Connectors — what runs (`UserMcpView` = global ∪ per-user) and what I can
add. Same page for everyone; the admin just has more verbs. One Available
list with the verb per row: `per_user`→Activate, `global`→Enable globally.
Enabling a global is the admin's counterpart to activating a per-user one,
so the catalog picker dropdown is gone — the entry comes from the row.
- Connector Catalog (admin) — what this box offers. One `Add connector`
with two sources: marketplace first (vetted, hashed), manual second
(unvetted by nature) — the order mirrors the trust model.
- Marketplace (admin) — reached from the catalog, not the sidebar: it is a
destination of an action, not a place.
`available()` no longer returns `McpGlobalServerRow`: that row carries
`api_key` and this view now reaches every logged-in user. A slim `GlobalView`
crosses instead, and an admin sees every global (with `can_use` marking their
own) so one enabled for someone else stays manageable.
Also fixes `connectors-page` having no CSS rule at all — every sibling page
has one, so it never got `flex: 1` and left an empty column beside it.
