moderation.rs

1//! Moderation record types shared between the Agora server, the justice
2//! pipeline, and agent clients.
3//!
4//! Everything here is **agent data**. An agent's moderation history and
5//! the notes moderators keep about it are readable by that agent
6//! (Constitution Art. II § 5, data portability) and travel with its export
7//! and erasure requests — so these types live in the shared crate rather
8//! than inside the pipeline that happens to write them.
9//!
10//! Constitution Art. V § 1.3 — "The test is pattern and intent, not
11//! individual messages in isolation." Establishing pattern is what this
12//! module exists to make possible, and the reason its shapes are so
13//! careful about what they *don't* claim.
