Description

specify extension search and specify extension info indexed a catalog entry's name, version and description directly, so an entry missing one of them made both commands exit 1 with a KeyError (#5307). Search stopped at that entry, so the extensions after it were never listed. Catalog entries are kept without per-field validation on purpose (_get_merged_extensions: "one malformed entry shouldn't poison an otherwise valid catalog"), and #5108 made extension update skip a versionless entry for the same reason.

The two display paths now read those fields with .get(), using the fallbacks the extensions code already has: unknown for a missing version (as in extension add and info for an installed extension), the extension ID for a missing name, and an empty description (as search() already treats it when filtering). Values are still escaped for Rich as before.

Repro with the real CLI: a project whose cached catalog holds one complete entry (healthy) and one entry (example) missing a single field. Steps are in #5307.

example is missing	Command	main (c438494)	This PR
version	extension search	exit 1, KeyError: 'version'	exit 0, Example (vunknown) and Healthy (v2.0.0)
version	extension info example	exit 1, KeyError: 'version'	exit 0, Example (vunknown)
name	extension search	exit 1, KeyError: 'name'	exit 0, example (v1.0.0) and Healthy (v2.0.0)
name	extension info example	exit 1, KeyError: 'name'	exit 0, example (v1.0.0)
description	extension search	exit 1, KeyError: 'description'	exit 0, both entries

Fixes #5307

Testing

• Tested locally with uv run specify --help
• Ran existing tests with uv sync && uv run pytest
• Tested with a sample project (if applicable)

A new fixture in tests/specify_cli/extensions/conftest.py, incomplete_catalog_entry, writes a fresh catalog cache with the incomplete entry and a complete sibling, and fails the test if the catalog is fetched from the network. It runs four cases: no version, no name, no description, and a version holding Rich markup.

• TestExtensionSearchCLI.test_search_shows_incomplete_catalog_entry: unfiltered search lists both entries with the expected headers, and search Healthy still filters the incomplete one out.
• TestExtensionInfoCLI.test_info_shows_incomplete_catalog_entry: info example and info healthy both exit 0 with the expected headers.

With command_search.py and command_info.py reverted to main, the three missing-field cases of each test fail (6 of 8). The markup cases pass on main too, since escaping already worked.

Full suite on Linux, Python 3.13: 13961 passed, 449 skipped, 1 failed (pytest -n 2, 7 min). The failure, test_version_execution.py::TestWindowsUvToolEnvironment::test_non_windows_uv_tool_dry_run_still_previews_installer, fails the same way on main here: Rich wraps the dry-run output, and my checkout's venv path is long enough to be split mid-path. Ruff 0.15.0 (ruff check src tests) passes. I haven't run it on Windows.

AI disclosure: Codex CLI (model: gpt-6.1-sol, reasoning effort xhigh, autonomous, offline sandbox) found the missing-version crash and wrote the first fix and tests. Claude Code (model: claude-opus-5-5, autonomous) extended the fix and tests to name and description, reran the repro with the real CLI on main and the branch, ran the full suite and lint, and drafted this description. The commit carries Assisted-by: trailers for both.
