Concerns

1. No test coverage for checks.py

The new check has three meaningful branches (branching not installed → early return; NetBox version too low; branching version too low), plus the silent-pass paths. None are covered by tests. A failure in checks.py (e.g. a future refactor breaking the apps.is_installed guard) would go undetected until a user hits it at startup. Consider adding a test module — test_checks.py — that mocks apps.is_installed, settings.RELEASE, and _pkg_version to exercise each branch. Fix this →

2. PackageNotFoundError silently skips the branching version check for editable installs

checks.py:59 catches PackageNotFoundError and returns without an error. The comment acknowledges this ("editable install without dist-info — skip rather than warn"), but it creates a real gap: a developer running an incompatible editable netbox-branching checkout gets no warning at all. A Warning-level check (rather than silent pass) would at least surface the ambiguity:

except PackageNotFoundError:
    errors.append(Warning(
        'netbox-branching is installed but its version could not be determined.',
        hint='If using an editable install, ensure dist-info is present.',
        id='netbox_custom_objects.W001',
    ))
