affidavit 26.6.22

Provenance Layer — receipt assembly and certification (verify a witness against a format standard; never decide honesty).
# rust.yml — Rust checks that are HONEST about this repo's build situation.
#
# DESIGN / WHY THIS WORKFLOW LOOKS UNUSUAL
# ----------------------------------------
# The `affidavit` crate depends on FIVE sibling PATH crates that live OUTSIDE
# this repository (see Cargo.toml):
#   ../clap-noun-verb  (+ ../clap-noun-verb/clap-noun-verb-macros)
#   ../wasm4pm/wasm4pm + ../wasm4pm-compat
#   ../lsp-max
#   ../clnrm/crates/clnrm-core
#   ../chicago-tdd-tools   (dev-dependency)
# None of those are checked out in CI, so `cargo build` / `cargo test` /
# `cargo clippy` CANNOT succeed in a clean checkout of this repo alone. We do
# NOT pretend otherwise.
#
# What CAN run with zero sibling crates is `cargo fmt --check`: rustfmt only
# parses source, it never resolves the dependency graph. So:
#   * The `fmt` job is a REAL, BLOCKING gate — the workflow's success hinges
#     ONLY on it.
#   * The `build-and-test` job attempts a real build/test for signal, but is
#     marked `continue-on-error: true` so a (fully expected) failure from the
#     missing sibling workspace never reports the workflow as broken.
#
# This follows the repo's ethos: a green that is true whether or not the work
# happened carries no information. fmt is a green that means something here.
