…on to specific types Catch (TypeError, ValueError, KeyError, ValidationError) instead of bare Exception. ExtensionManifest raises ValidationError (not ValueError) for malformed/unreadable manifests, so it must be caught to preserve the fallback to generic path-based registration. Add regression test verifying ValidationError during manifest load is silently skipped. Co-authored-by: GitHub Copilot (model: mimo-v2.5-free, supervised)
