Skipping missing keys for [${tablePath}] because it has no s

Error message

Skipping missing keys for [${tablePath}] because it has no standalone header and could not be safely updated

What it means

appendToTable in the Codex config merge script could not find a standalone [table] header for the target path and the inline-table and implicit-table fallbacks both failed, so it skips adding the missing keys rather than risk corrupting the TOML. A warning, not a failure: the merge continues without those keys.

Solutions

1. Add a standalone `[${tablePath}]` header to the TOML so the keys can be merged safely.
2. Run the migration manually for that table to give it a proper header.
