#10179 feat: add refresh catalog flag to invoke Pull request opened by BharatDeva Description Adds

--refresh-catalog

support to

meltano invoke

for extractor plugins.

meltano invoke

creates a plugin invoker directly, so it did not previously attach an ELT context with

refresh_catalog=True

. This change reuses the existing

ELTContextBuilder

path for extractors when the flag is provided, allowing invoke runs to bypass the cached catalog and run discovery again. I also added a focused CLI regression test that verifies

meltano invoke --refresh-catalog <tap>

passes an invoker context where

should_refresh_catalog()

is true. Checklist • I have read the contribution guide Was generative AI tooling used to co-author this PR? • Yes: OpenAI Codex Generated-by: OpenAI Codex following the agentic coding guidelines Testing Ran locally on Windows 11 with Python 3.14 via `uv`/`nox`. •
