Three fixes for CLI tests and the issues they found.

install --dev on SDK 5 Modules (fix(install): …)

holoscan install --dev failed for every SDK 5 Module. It looked only for the holoscan_<slug>_dev.py helper and .pth pair that SDK 4 Module builds staged, and the SDK 5 template never stages them.

A Module created with --language cpp python writes its package and its holoscan.modules metadata to <build>/python/lib, and the SDK resolves holoscan.<module> through that metadata. install --dev now finds these build trees by their holoscan.modules entry points. For each one, it installs a holoscan-<module>-dev.pth that puts python/lib on the environment's path. SDK 4 hooks and --uninstall work as before.

HoloHub wrapper integration job (ci: …)

HoloHub is deprecated. Its archive-4x branch keeps the wrapper suite, but it is frozen and pins CLI 4.6.0, so testing the current CLI against it no longer covers a supported workflow. The job and its row in .github/CI.md are removed. build now waits only for pre-commit and the test matrix.

Dependabot and the Module template (ci: keep Dependabot …)

The SDK 5 Module template's pyproject.toml contains Jinja conditionals, so it is not valid TOML. Dependabot's pip scan stops at that file ("not parseable"), and that also stops the dependency graph on main from refreshing. As a result, a transitive certifi alert stays open against an old snapshot, even though fresh installs already resolve the fixed certifi. .github/dependabot.yml now excludes src/holoscan_cli/templates/** from the pip ecosystem. The next dependency-graph run after merge will show whether the graph job honors the exclusion too.

Testing:

• New unit tests:
  • A sample SDK 5 build tree gets a path-only hook.
  • A fresh interpreter that processes the site directory imports the package and finds the holoscan.modules entry point.
  • --uninstall removes the hook.
  • A Module that hasn't been built is built once, then linked.
• Unit tests: 723 passed, 1 skipped. The lint hooks pass.
• Container run on the Holoscan SDK 5.0.0 image (holoscan:v5.0.0-cuda13, x86_64), with a wheel built from this branch. The test Module was created with --language cpp python.
  • holoscan install --dev from the Module root built the Module image and then the Module inside the container. It then installed holoscan-dev-hook-check-dev.pth, which points at build/holoscan-dev-hook-check/python/lib.
  • In a later run-container session:
    • import holoscan.dev_hook_check returned the same module as holoscan_dev_hook_check, loaded from the build tree.
    • The operator class was identical through both names.
    • holoscan install --dev --uninstall removed the hook, after which the package no longer imported.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • install --dev now supports SDK 5 module builds, linking their build-time Python libraries for direct module imports.
  • Development installs automatically detect and prepare SDK 5 Python bindings, including fresh local builds when needed.
  • Uninstalling removes the development link cleanly.

• Documentation

  • Updated CLI documentation to explain how development installations expose SDK 5 module packages.

• Chores

  • Removed the HoloHub integration job from the documented and automated CI workflow.

Walkthrough

install --dev discovers SDK 5 module bindings through holoscan.modules entry points and links python/lib into the Python environment. Legacy staged hooks remain supported. The HoloHub CI job is removed, and Dependabot excludes CLI templates from pip updates.

Changes

SDK 5 development module installation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve SDK 4 and SDK 5 dev hooks src/holoscan_cli/commands/install.py	Hook discovery combines legacy staged hooks with holoscan.modules entry points from distribution metadata. It selects the newest hook per module slug.
Wire the selected build into Python src/holoscan_cli/commands/install.py	Metadata-backed builds use a .pth file for python/lib and remove the helper file. Legacy hooks retain helper copying and _BUILD_PATH rewriting. Messages and errors cover both hook types.
Validate and document SDK 5 installs tests/unit/test_install_cmd.py, CLI_REFERENCE.md	Tests cover path linking, package and entry-point discovery, helper absence, uninstall cleanup, and local builds. The CLI reference describes the python/lib behavior.

CI workflow update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove HoloHub integration job .github/workflows/main.yaml, .github/CI.md	The workflow and CI job list no longer include the HoloHub integration job. The build job now depends only on pre-commit and test.

Dependabot configuration update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exclude CLI templates from pip updates .github/dependabot.yml	The pip update configuration excludes src/holoscan_cli/templates/**.

Changes LGTM!

I was also looking at this in parallel with Codex, #277 has some possible edge case cleanup, no blockers
