is not valid JSON

Error message

${source} is not valid JSON: ${error.message}

What it means

parseCatalogDescriptionExpectations throws when a catalog source file (a JSON manifest, e.g. an install manifest or openai.yaml-derived JSON) fails JSON.parse. The faulting input is the file content at `source`; the underlying parse error message is appended, so this is a wrapper around malformed JSON rather than a semantic check failure.

Solutions

1. Fix the JSON syntax error reported after the colon (check trailing commas, unquoted keys, encoding).
2. Validate the file with a JSON linter or `node -e "JSON.parse(...)"` before rerunning.
3. Regenerate the manifest from its canonical source if it is produced by tooling.
