fix: Skip meshery-integration-template model during registry generate

[Ontiomacer]

This PR fixes meshery/meshery #14702.

In the Meshery Integrations Spreadsheet, the row
meshery-integration-template is an example/template model used for
creating new model entries. It should not be processed during
mesheryctl registry generate.

This PR adds a simple conditional check inside registry/model.go to
skip this model gracefully, preventing the generator from attempting to
register a template model and avoiding unnecessary errors in the logs.

• Added conditional to skip model == "meshery-integration-template"
• Prevents generator from processing a template-only entry
• Eliminates the "generator not implemented" error during registry generate

---

What I changed :

• Added a conditional in registry/model.go to skip the model named meshery-integration-template.
• Prevents the registry generator from processing the template/example row.
• Removes the unnecessary “generator not implemented” errors during mesheryctl registry generate.
  Ran:
  mesheryctl registry generate --directory ./mesheryctl/templates/template-csvs

Summary of Changes

Hello @Ontiomacer, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses an issue where the mesheryctl registry generate command was attempting to process a template model, meshery-integration-template, leading to errors. The change introduces a safeguard to gracefully skip this template model, ensuring that only legitimate integration models are processed and preventing unnecessary log errors during the generation process.

Highlights

• Template Model Exclusion: Introduced a conditional check to explicitly skip the "meshery-integration-template" model during registry generation.
• Error Prevention: Prevents the mesheryctl registry generate command from attempting to process a template-only entry, thereby eliminating "generator not implemented" errors.
• Streamlined Generation: Ensures that the registry generator only processes valid integration models, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the generation process.

Code Review

This pull request correctly prevents the meshery-integration-template model from being processed during registry generation by adding a skip condition. The change is straightforward and effective. My feedback focuses on improving maintainability by replacing a hardcoded string with a constant.

[gemini-code-assist]

The string "meshery-integration-template" is used as a magic string. To improve maintainability and avoid potential typos, it's better to define it as a constant at the package level. This also makes it easier to update if the template name changes in the future.

Please define a constant at the top of the file, for example:

const mesheryIntegrationTemplateModel = "meshery-integration-template"

And then use it here.

Suggested change

	if model.Model == "meshery-integration-template"{
	log.Info("Skipping meshery-integration-template model")
	continue
	}
	if model.Model == mesheryIntegrationTemplateModel {
	log.Infof("Skipping model: %s", mesheryIntegrationTemplateModel)
	continue
	}

@leecalcote This PR resolves meshery/meshery#14702.

It adds a constant for meshery-integration-template and ensures this
template-only model is skipped during registry generation. Verified that
normal models continue to generate correctly.

👋 @Ontiomacer thanks,

Even if it does the job, the intention is not clear enough, I mean if I am not aware of the open issue I will have the question why do we skip this model, I'd suggest to use a slice with a name that describe the intention to make easier to understand the main purpose. Then, you can check if the model name is inside that slice. Does it make sense ?

[leecalcote]

There is a "PublishToRegistry" column that should be set to false for this row and just like any other row with a false value for this column, those columns should not be considered for generation.

This column is an ideal flag (built for this purpose).

[Ontiomacer]

Thanks @leecalcote and @lekaf974!
Acknowledged — the PublishToRegistry flag is indeed the intended control for excluding template rows.
Since the spreadsheet doesn’t mark this row yet, the skip here prevents generator errors until the flag is updated.
