Release 6.2.18 (ISSUE-173). It has two commits plus the version bump, all on top of 6.2.17 (#522).

Report specs from installed packages. refresh_report_specs() now reads a pyegeria.report_specs entry-point group, and also trellis.report_specs as an alias.

• An entry point names a callable that returns a FormatSetDict (or a dict of label to FormatSet), or names such a dict directly.
• Each entry point loads on its own: if one fails or clashes, it is skipped, logged, and returned from refresh_report_specs(), and the rest still load.
• pyegeria's own analytic demo specs now load through its own entry point (analytic_demos), so the "Pyegeria Report Spec Modules" key is gone from config/config.json.

Deprecated, and removed in 6.2.19. These still load in this release:

• config.json's "Pyegeria Report Spec Modules"
• PYEGERIA_REPORT_SPEC_MODULES
• PYEGERIA_REPORT_FORMATS_JSON
• PYEGERIA_REPORT_FORMATS_MODULES

When any of them is set, each refresh raises one DeprecationWarning and logs one WARNING line naming the replacement. If a config entry names the same loader as an installed entry point, it is treated as that entry point rather than as a clash.

Registered names in report specs. This applies to a report spec's analytic_function and to metric_trend's metric_path.

• A dotted path still resolves under the Resolve analytic functions by registry name or allowed module prefix (ISSUE-169) #516 allowlist, but raises a DeprecationWarning naming the registered name to use, and logs once per path. 6.2.19 refuses them.
• metric_path was imported with no allowlist check at all; it now goes through the same resolver.
• pyegeria's own specs now use registered names, and a test enforces it.

Docs updated: output-formats-and-report-specs.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, the view README, and ISSUE-173.

Tests: new tests/micro-tests/test_issue_173_*.py. The full micro-test suite passes on Python 3.13 (1722 collected, 0 failed).

Downstream:

• egeria-workspaces report_specs_handler.py switches to count_elements and metric_trend.
• trellis-analytics registers its tile function and declares the pyegeria.report_specs entry point (already on trellis main, df407a6c).
