Struct CitationConfig 

pub struct CitationConfig {
    pub title: String,
    pub abstract_: String,
    pub authors: Vec<CitationAuthor>,
    pub message: String,
    pub repository_code: String,
    pub url: Option<String>,
    pub license: Option<String>,
    pub date_released: Option<String>,
    pub doi: Option<String>,
}

Configuration for the alef-generated CITATION.cff file at the repo root.

When this section is present in alef.toml, alef sync-versions writes a fully-rendered Citation File Format YAML using these fields plus the current workspace version (read from Cargo.toml). When absent, alef falls back to updating the version: line of a hand-authored CITATION.cff in place.

All field names follow Rust convention; the renderer emits the canonical CFF kebab-case keys (cff-version, repository-code, date-released, family-names, given-names).

Fields

title: String

Software title (title:). Required.

abstract_: String

One-paragraph summary (abstract:). Required.

authors: Vec<CitationAuthor>

Authors list — at least one entry required. Persons and legal entities can be mixed (e.g. Na'aman Hirschfeld + Kreuzberg, Inc.).

message: String

Canonical citation message shown to consumers (message:).

repository_code: String

Source-code repository URL (repository-code:). Required.

url: Option<String>

Project landing-page URL (url:). Optional.

license: Option<String>

SPDX license identifier (license:). When omitted, the renderer falls back to Cargo.toml [workspace.package].license.

date_released: Option<String>

Release date in YYYY-MM-DD form (date-released:). Optional.

doi: Option<String>

Persistent DOI for the cited release (doi:). Optional.
