Ontology id has no registry index entry

Type URI: https://modeled-information-format.github.io/mif-rs/references/errors/ontology-not-in-registry/v1 HTTP status: 404 Exit code: 1 Emitted by: mif-rh (MifRhError::OntologyNotInRegistry)

ontology '{id}' is not in the registry index — it has no canonical definition yet (author one with the `ontology author` subcommand)

This fires when a requested ontology id, or an ancestor reached while walking an extends chain, has no matching entry in the registry index. The registry simply does not know about a canonical definition for that id yet, so there is nothing to resolve or fetch.

MaybeIncorrect — author the ontology from your research and contribute it upstream with the ontology author subcommand, then retry.
