Error message

Provide the source name, git URL, or local path to remove.

What it means

The marketplace `remove` command requires an argument identifying the source to remove. When the trimmed argument is empty (empty string or whitespace only), it bails immediately before any lookup. The library throws this to fail fast rather than guessing a source.

Solutions

1. Pass the source name, git URL, or local path: `grok marketplace remove <name-or-url>`.
2. Run `grok marketplace list` to see valid identifiers.
3. In scripts, guard the argument: `[ -n "$SRC" ] || { echo 'missing source'; exit 1; }` before invoking.

Example fix

// before
grok marketplace remove "$SRC"   # SRC empty
// after
[ -n "$SRC" ] && grok marketplace remove "$SRC"

if src.trim().is_empty() {
    eprintln!("usage: grok marketplace remove <name|git-url|local-path>");
    std::process::exit(2);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling marketplace_remove with name_or_url that is empty or whitespace-only after trim — e.g. `grok marketplace remove ""` or `grok marketplace remove " "`.

Common situations: Shell variable interpolation producing an empty value (unset env var in a script); accidentally passing a bare flag; copy-paste dropping the argument.
