Struct Candidate 

pub struct Candidate {
    pub kind: BlobKind,
    pub score: Confidence,
    pub summary: String,
    pub citation: &'static str,
    pub inner: Option<Box<DecodedChain>>,
}

One scored, cited candidate reading of a blob. A wrapper candidate nests the identification of its decoded payload in Candidate::inner, so a base64 → gzip → binary-plist blob reports the whole chain.

Fields

kind: BlobKind

The identified (or unidentified) kind.

score: Confidence

How strongly the evidence supports this reading.

summary: String

A human summary of what was found (root type, byte counts, decoded text prefix, or — for BlobKind::Unknown — the raw head bytes).

citation: &'static str

The authoritative spec citation for Candidate::kind.

inner: Option<Box<DecodedChain>>

For a wrapper kind, the identification of the decoded/decompressed payload — the next link in the chain. None for a leaf reading, a failed decode, or when the recursion depth cap was reached.
