I have a slow lead in the side wall that came from scraping some kind of
sharp object laying by the curb. Looks like a 1/2-inch cut, but jagged.
Tire is tubeless radial. Is it possible to patch something like this on the
side wall? Patch kits say they are for the tread but don't say specifically
not to use them on the side.

2nd thought -- can I put a tube in it? Seems like I remember tire places
say tubeless can't be fixed with a tube, but I can't see why not.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

You cannot repair a sidewall. Let me say that differently, go to the tire
store where they fix tires that leak, they will not repair a sidewall.

You need to buy a new tire.
