direnv -- Automatic environment variable loading

Packages
RPM: direnv · PAC: direnv · DEB: direnv — full cross-distro parity.
Usage
# charly.yml
my-image:
candy:
- direnv
Typically used as part of the agent-forwarding composition candy rather than directly. Also available in the heavyweight dev-tools candy (46 packages).
Runtime Behavior
Provides the direnv binary AND the per-shell hook installation for automatic environment variable loading from .envrc files.
Shell hooks are declarative. The candy carries a shell: block:
shell:
init: |
eval "$(direnv hook ${SHELL_NAME})" # bash/zsh/sh — POSIX-style
fish:
init: |
direnv hook fish | source # fish — different syntax
Container images get /etc/profile.d/charly-direnv-<shell>.sh and /etc/fish/conf.d/charly-direnv.fish emitted at charly box build time. target: local host deploys get a managed-block in ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc plus ~/.config/fish/conf.d/charly-direnv.fish at charly bundle add time, only for shells the runtime probe finds. The fish hook lands in ~/.config/fish/conf.d/charly-direnv.fish (its own conf.d drop-in), so it works without editing ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
The primary use case in OpenCharly is the .secrets workflow: .envrc calls eval "$(charly secrets gpg env)" which decrypts a GPG-encrypted .secrets file in memory and exports the variables — no plaintext on disk. No external direnvrc dependency needed.
Used In Boxes
Part of agent-forwarding composition candy, used in 27 application boxes.
Also available in the dev-tools candy.

Use when authoring or modifying a charly PLUGIN — a candy with a `plugin:` block that contributes Providers (verbs/kinds/deploy-targets/steps/builders/commands), its own CUE schema, builtin (compiled-in) or external (out-of-tree git repo). Covers the unified Provider model, the per-plugin CUE-schema contract (single source → Go params for dev + schema-over-Describe RPC for runtime), the SDK, and the loader.

The CUE data-validation / configuration CLI (cue), pinned to v0.16.1. Use when working with the cue candy, installing the cue binary into a box or onto a target:local dev host, or running the offline schema-vendoring pipeline that feeds charly's egress validation.

CUE EGRESS validation — validating (and, where it adds value, generating) the config files charly WRITES to a system BEFORE the bytes hit disk. MUST be invoked before working on charly/egress.go, the vendored schemas under candy/plugin-egress/egress-schemas/vendor/, the ValidateEgress / registerVendoredEgressKind path, the offline `task cue:vendor` pipeline, or adding an egress schema for any written artifact (cloud-init, k8s manifests, traefik routes, runtime config, install ledger, systemd/quadlet units, ssh_config, libvirt XML).

Kubernetes cluster-probe declarative check verb — the `kube:` check verb (nodes, pods, ingress, storage class, addon health, apply/delete, and arbitrary resource GETs) served out-of-process by the candy/plugin-kube plugin (vendored client-go; no external kubectl required).
