Provide mechanism to update stale registry settings

Created on 26 June 2021, about 3 years ago
Updated 28 February 2024, 4 months ago

Problem/Motivation

These are several actions that developers commonly take during development that can lead to registry settings becoming out-of-date. For example, if a developer deletes (or renames) a config file on disk, but forgets to remove the registry entry, it can lead to the symptoms described in #3215684: Handle missing config yml files gracefully → and #3220448: Enforcing new configs can result in unrelated config files being created → . Similarly, adding comments to config files may alter hashes, which may require manual workarounds to re-synchronize.

Steps to reproduce

See #3215684: Handle missing config yml files gracefully → and #3220448: Enforcing new configs can result in unrelated config files being created → .

Proposed resolution

We should consider adding the capability to update a registry from the files on disk, removing entries if the files no longer exist, and updating hashes accordingly.
