Wire a scaffolded PortalJS portal to a CKAN backend over its API. Generates a tiny server-side fetch client (no runtime dependency) and feeds the /search catalog and /@namespace/slug showcases from CKAN instead of datasets.json. Use when connecting an existing portal to a live CKAN instance instead of a static manifest.

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Missing CKAN URL	User invoked the skill with no `$ARGUMENTS`	Ask for the base URL (and optional org/group filter); never error out.
`package_search` request fails or times out	URL isn't a reachable CKAN root	Tell the user, ask them to confirm the URL, and retry.
Org filter not found	`organization_show` returns `success: false`	List valid orgs from `organization_list` and ask which one was meant.
Catalog renders empty after connecting	Wrong org/group filter name in `lib/ckan.ts`	Clear or correct the filter constants and rebuild.
`next build` fails	Typo in substituted `CKAN_URL` or bad TypeScript edit	Print the log, fix the first error, and re-run before reporting success.
`<Table>` fails to load a resource	CKAN resource host blocks CORS	Note that the Download link still works; prefer datastore-backed resources.
