Update `codebuddy` integration — `codebuddy.ai` domain dead, product moved to `codebuddy.cn`

[mnriem]

The `CodeBuddy` (Tencent) integration (`src/specify_cli/integrations/codebuddy/`) has a dead `install_url`.

• Current `install_url` is `https://www.codebuddy.ai/cli\`; the `codebuddy.ai` domain no longer resolves.
• The product is still viable but has consolidated onto `codebuddy.cn` (Tencent Cloud Code Assistant CodeBuddy); `codebuddy.tencent.com` redirects there.

Suggested action: repoint `install_url` to the current `codebuddy.cn` location. (Related devcontainer breakage noted in #2605.)

Bug Assessment: CodeBuddy install_url points to dead domain

• Slug: codebuddy-dead-install-url
• Created: 2026-06-25
• Source: issue Update codebuddy integration — codebuddy.ai domain dead, product moved to codebuddy.cn #3172
• Verdict: valid
• Severity: low

Report (summarized)

Reported by @mnriem. The codebuddy integration sets install_url to (www.codebuddy.ai/redacted), but the codebuddy.aidomain no longer resolves. Tencent has consolidated the product (CodeBuddy / Tencent Cloud Code Assistant) ontocodebuddy.cn; codebuddy.tencent.comredirects there. The reporter also references issue #2605, which documents a related devcontainer failure:post-create.shdies when Kiro CLI returns a 404, causing CodeBuddy (and other tools installed after it) to be silently skipped. That is a separate, pre-existing defect inpost-create.sh`'s error-handling.

Symptom

When a user runs specify init --integration codebuddy without the CLI present, the error panel shown by init.py displays the dead URL (www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) as the install location. The same dead link appears in docs/reference/integrations.mdanddocs/installation.md`, making the docs misleading.

Reproduction

1. Run specify init my-project --integration codebuddy in an environment where codebuddy is not installed.
2. Observe the error panel: `Install from: (www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) — the URL does not resolve.
3. Open docs/reference/integrations.md and docs/installation.md and follow the CodeBuddy link — same dead URL.

Suspected Code Paths

• src/specify_cli/integrations/codebuddy/__init__.py:12 — install_url field set to `"(www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) (the stale value).
• src/specify_cli/commands/init.py:326-330 — reads agent_config["install_url"] and renders it directly into the CLI error panel shown to the user when the agent binary is missing.
• docs/reference/integrations.md:14 — table row `[CodeBuddy CLI]((www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) links to the dead domain.
• docs/installation.md:6 — inline link `[Codebuddy CLI]((www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) also uses the dead domain.

Root Cause Hypothesis

The integration was created when the product was hosted at codebuddy.ai. Tencent later consolidated the product under codebuddy.cn (and codebuddy.tencent.com now redirects there). The install_url value in the Python integration file and the matching links in two documentation files were never updated. Confidence: high — the issue is a straightforward stale string literal with no ambiguity about the cause.

Proposed Remediation

Preferred: Update the install_url in src/specify_cli/integrations/codebuddy/__init__.py from (www.codebuddy.ai/redacted) to the current canonical URL (e.g. (codebuddy.cn/redacted)or a direct CLI install page such as(codebuddy.cn/redacted) — the exact path should be confirmed against the live site before merging). Apply the same URL to the matching links in docs/reference/integrations.md and docs/installation.md. This is a three-line change across three files.

Alternatives:

• Use (codebuddy.tencent.com/redacted) as the canonical host (it currently redirects to codebuddy.cn); less preferable because redirect targets can change silently.

Files likely to change:

• src/specify_cli/integrations/codebuddy/__init__.py
• docs/reference/integrations.md
• docs/installation.md

Tests to add or update:

• Consider adding a test (similar to those in tests/integrations/test_integration_agy.py:26-29) that asserts CodebuddyIntegration().config["install_url"] equals the new canonical value. This acts as a regression guard so a future stale-URL situation surfaces in CI rather than in production.

Risks & Considerations

• Low blast radius: install_url only appears in the "agent not found" error panel at specify init time; it does not affect command generation, template processing, or any runtime path.
• Confirm the target URL before merging: Verify that the chosen codebuddy.cn path actually serves CLI installation documentation so the replacement URL is live and useful.
• The related devcontainer issue ([Bug]: devcontainer post-create.sh fails on Kiro CLI 404, blocking uv, DocFx, Kimi and CodeBuddy installs #2605 — post-create.sh stopping on Kiro CLI 404 and blocking CodeBuddy install) is independent and should be tracked separately; it is not in scope for this fix.

Open Questions

• [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What is the exact CLI install page path at codebuddy.cn? (e.g. /cli, /docs/install, etc.) The maintainer or reporter should confirm the live URL before merging the fix.]
