E_DEP_KIND_MISMATCH

Lockfile / manifest

What happened

A dep alias referenced by import <alias> (or pkg.render({package = "<alias>"})) in package.k resolves to a kind that's unreachable from KCL. Most common case: an Akua/KCL-module dep was misclassified as a Helm chart by the resolver, or the user declared a Helm chart alias they then tried to import. akua lock catches this before akua check later fails with the opaque CannotFindModule from KCL.
