Description

Current Behavior

The registry tree item checkbox is permanently hidden:

visibility: hover || checked ? 'hidden' : 'hidden'

Because both branches return hidden, the bulk-action checkbox never becomes visible even on hover or after being checked.

Desired Behavior

The checkbox should become visible when the intended condition is met, or the dead control should be removed until the feature is supported.

Screenshots/Logs

Relevant code path:

  • ui/components/Settings/Registry/StyledTreeItem.tsx
  • checkbox style.visibility

Environment

  • Browser: Chrome
  • Host OS: Linux
  • Meshery Server Version: stable-v
  • Platform: Kubernetes

Research direction
Locate the file ui/components/Settings/Registry/StyledTreeItem.tsx. Find the checkbox element where style.visibility is set. The current code always returns 'hidden'. Change the condition to show the checkbox on hover or when checked. Alternatively, remove the dead code if the feature is not supported. Check the issue comments for any additional context.
