To install Freshell extensions, you clone or create the project, validate the freshell.json manifest, ensure pre-built artifacts exist, symlink it into ~/.freshell/extensions, and restart Freshell to load the extension reliably.

The safe symlink workflow for Freshell extensions involves creating or updating extension metadata, symlinking the project directory into ~/.freshell/extensions, and restarting Freshell to trigger the startup discovery workflow and load the custom pane safely.

Freshell extensions fail to load if the freshell.json manifest is invalid, pre-built artifacts are missing, the category block is incorrect, or the symlink was not created properly before restarting Freshell to trigger startup discovery.

Yes, configuring Freshell extensions requires a valid freshell.json manifest with a single category block and existing pre-built artifacts to ensure the startup discovery workflow can load the extension reliably without errors.

Yes, you can create Freshell extensions from scratch and debug their installation by validating manifest requirements, enforcing pre-built artifacts, creating safe symlinks, and verifying the startup discovery workflow loads the extension upon restart.

The best way to update Freshell extensions is to modify the project directory, validate the freshell.json manifest, ensure pre-built artifacts are current, update the symlink in ~/.freshell/extensions, and restart Freshell to load the new extension.
