Missing board qualifiers for connectkit_nrf52840?

[logikal]

I thought that I had configured my west/zephyr/nrf/everything install correctly from the docs, but I'm running into a problem building the blinky sample.

I'm not sure where to go from here, and could use some guidance.

Thanks!

This seems related:

the error

CMake Error at /Users/logikal/repos/ncs-playground/nrf/sysbuild/CMakeLists.txt:117 (list):

looks like it's checking for board qualifiers

# Calculate the secure board target when building for non-secure board targets
  string(REPLACE "/" ";" split_board_qualifiers "${BOARD_QUALIFIERS}")
  list(GET split_board_qualifiers 1 target_soc)

the connectkit_nrf52840 has no qualifiers according to west

connectkit_nrf52840, , /Users/logikal/repos/ncs-playground/ncs-playground/boards/arm/connectkit_nrf52840,

An example of other nrf52840 board qualifiers:

> west boards --board adafruit_feather_nrf52840 -f "{name}, {qualifiers},  {dir},"
adafruit_feather_nrf52840, nrf52840,nrf52840/uf2,nrf52840/sense,nrf52840/sense/uf2,  /Users/logikal/repos/ncs-playground/zephyr/boards/adafruit/feather_nrf52840,

Every other board in west boards -f "{name}, {qualifiers}" has qualifiers, but not the connectkit_nrf52840 and dongle_nrf52840 boards. Other makerdiary boards included in the zephyr/boards/makerdiary path (nrf52832_mdk, nrf52840_mdk) have qualifiers.
