try- is a reserved SDK name on refresh with a sdkcraft try'ed SDK

Following https://ubuntu.com/workshop/docs/how-to/develop-sdks/build-an-sdk/#try-the-sdk

$ sdkcraft try ~mir/sdk/mir/[email protected]
Copied 'mir' SDK ([email protected]:amd64) to the try area.
To use it, add 'try-mir' to the SDK list in a workshop and run 'workshop refresh'.

$ workshop refresh
error: cannot refresh "dev": cannot refresh "dev": "try-mir:install" is not a valid plug or slot reference: "try-mir" is a reserved SDK name

where does try-mir:install come from? The SDK is still named mir, the try- prefix only goes in the name: field under sdks:

Ah, that'd be the design-sdk skill that led me astray - feel free to close or transfer there.

It generated this in the test:

The SDK is still named mir, the try- prefix only goes in the name: field under sdks:

ACK!

I don't think I can do the transfer, maybe @dmitry-lyfar can

Sorry, am not sure what needs a transfer?

The design-sdk skill doesn't know about try-foo vs foo so it put try-foo under connections:

i.e. we can transfer this issue here: https://github.com/canonical/use-workshop-skill/issues

I think it does now, but the new version of the skill was extracted and consolidated as a separate repo.

FWIW I only just ran this last week and got this in a test:

sdks:
  - name: try-mir
  - name: project-mir-consumer
connections:
  - plug: project-mir-consumer:mir
    slot: try-mir:install
