What happened?

I have tried the implemented registry feature today and found some improvements:

1.) Update documentation

https://moonrepo.dev/docs/proto/config#unstable-registries refers to a setting which is not toml compatible

[settings]
unstable-registries = [
  { registry: "ghcr.io", namespace: "moonrepo" }
]

But it has to be

[settings]
unstable-registries = [
  { registry = "ghcr.io", namespace = "moonrepo" }
]

Additional the mention of the default-registry is missing

2.) Only one registry will be used

In the loader logic https://github.com/moonrepo/proto/blob/v0.51.4/crates/core/src/loader.rs#L62 only one registry, which is equal to the default-registry will be used for searching plugins.

It would be good if the default-registry for the moonrepo plugins will be used, but if users have own registries with closed source plugins, also these registries will be scanned.

3.) default-registry and unstable-registry type mismatch

default-registry is implemented as string and registry as a type of registry and namespace.

The user have to set now the following settings to getting stuff working.

[settings]
auto-install = true
default-registry = "ghcr.io/moonrepo"
unstable-registries = [
  { registry = "ghcr.io/moonrepo" }
]

We have two options here

• Either, the default-registry will be the same type as unstable-registries
• Or, unstable-registries is getting String values

Both will work and will lead into a consistent behaviour.

Side Note:
I have tested also the registry:// locator in moon for toolchain plugins, and it's directly working out of the box!
Perfect.
Next improvement for moon would be the loader logic (incl. settings, like default-registry and registries)
