LPK-E0302 — registryId at the address is wrong

What it means

Every registry carries an identity file, and the tool checks the identity at the address against the identity it was asked for. When the two differ, the address is not who it claims to be — a copy, a move, or a typo — so the command refuses before trusting anything it serves. Nothing is created or changed by the refusal.

Checking the identity and the location side by side resolves it: either the address is wrong or the expected identity is.

Example

pkgtest

{"files": {"law.toml": "[package]\nname = \"demo.mini\"\nversion = \"0.1.0\"\nlanguage = \"0.2\"\nnamespace = \"urn:law:demo:mini\"\n", "registry.json": "{\"registryId\":\"someone-else\",\"specVersion\":\"0.2\"}"}, "cmd": ["add", "foo", "--from", "local", "--registry", "local=.", "--project", "."], "expect": "LPK-E0302"}

Fix

pkgtest

{"files": {}, "cmd": ["init", ".", "--name", "demo.diag"]}

Engine message

The tool reports this in its own wording:

Output

law: REFUSAL LPK-E0302: registry .: registryId 'someone-else' mismatches expected local
