Module validate 

Functions

normalize_namespace

Normalize a namespace input to the canonical form accepted by validate_namespace. Not called by write paths (would lowercase existing flat namespaces and break their lookup keys); instead exposed as a helper that callers opt into, and used by Task 1.5+ when accepting user-typed hierarchical paths.

validate_agent_id

Validate an agent identifier (NHI-hardened).

validate_agent_type

Validate an agent type. Accepts any value matching one of these forms (red-team #235 — the original closed whitelist blocked future agents):

validate_capabilities

Validate a list of capability strings. Shares validate_tags rules (non-empty, <=128 bytes each, clean chars, <=50 entries).

validate_confidence

validate_consolidate

Validate consolidation request.

validate_content

validate_create

Validate a full CreateMemory before insert.

validate_expires_at

validate_expires_at_format

Validate expires_at format only (no past-date check). Used by update path.

validate_governance_policy

Validate a [GovernancePolicy] (Task 1.8). Closed-set tag checks are already handled by serde on deserialization; this adds semantic bounds: consensus quorum must be ≥ 1, Agent references must pass validate_agent_id, and the policy as a whole must not use GovernanceLevel::Approve without a meaningful approver.

validate_id

validate_link

Validate link creation.

validate_memory

Validate a full Memory (used for import).

validate_metadata

validate_namespace

Validate a namespace (flat or hierarchical, Task 1.4).

validate_priority

validate_relation

validate_scope

Validate a visibility scope against the closed VALID_SCOPES set (Task 1.5). Enforced on write paths that accept an explicit scope parameter. Memories with no scope metadata are treated as private by the query layer without needing explicit validation here.

validate_source

validate_tags

validate_title

validate_ttl_secs

validate_update

Validate update fields (only validates present fields). Note: expires_at allows past dates in updates for programmatic TTL management and GC testing — only format is validated, not chronological ordering.
