# Connectors & Marketplace

> Connector registry, package lifecycle, trust, and development-branch Marketplace capabilities.

# Connectors & Marketplace

A Connector is a connection family. A Source Pack is declarative integration content. Neither is a runtime execution process.

## Package model

The current package architecture is declarative. It can describe request contracts, auth requirements, pagination/cursors, mapping/enrichment, fixtures, expected output, compatibility, and documentation.

Package files must not contain credentials or arbitrary Python, JavaScript, shell, or native executable code in the V1 model.

## Development-branch capabilities

The audited development history contains implemented work for:

* Manifest v2 compatibility
* unified built-in/installed registry
* local install, upgrade, rollback, and uninstall
* package validation and cache invalidation
* secret scanning, canonical digest, Ed25519 signature verification, trusted signing keys
* license/provenance policy
* static Connector Harvester
* AI Connector Builder core
* Marketplace UI
* private/remote registry administration and SSRF-safe acquisition paths
* offline signed bundle installation

These capabilities are **implemented in development**, but this documentation does not label them as tag-proven stable release behavior.

## Lifecycle invariant

Install does not silently create a credential, enable a Stream, modify a running Stream, or advance a checkpoint. Operator action remains explicit.
