Description

StepCatalog.add_catalog() treated any falsy parsed YAML root as an empty mapping. A config containing [], 0, false, or an empty string was therefore overwritten when adding a catalog instead of being reported as corrupt.

This distinguishes empty/null documents from present non-mapping roots and preserves malformed files unchanged.

Testing

  • Tested locally with uv run specify --help
  • Ran existing tests with uv sync && uv run pytest (6,655 passed, 177 skipped)
  • Added parameterized regressions for falsy non-mapping config roots
  • uvx ruff@0.15.0 check src tests clean

Implemented autonomously by GitHub Copilot CLI (model: GPT-5.6 Sol) under human direction; failing regressions were added before the fix, then the full suite and lint were run locally. Commit includes Assisted-by and Co-authored-by trailers.
