anodizer-core 0.5.0

Core configuration, context, and template engine for the anodizer release tool
Documentation
//! Generic external-tool detection — `<tool> --version` and
//! `<tool> <args>` probes used by the CLI's `healthcheck` command *and*
//! capability probes elsewhere in core (e.g.
//! `signing::gpg_supports_faked_system_time`, which delegates to
//! [`tool_runs_with_args`]).
//!
//! Centralised here so the `Command::new(<tool>)` probe shell-outs live
//! inside the module-boundaries allow-list. The CLI used to do these
//! probes inline; that put `Command::new` outside the allow-list and
//! counted as a boundary violation. Capability probes in other core
//! modules (signing, etc.) delegate here for the same reason.

///   mismatches).
/// `Err(_)` — `<name>` could not be spawned (typically `NotFound` —
///   the binary is not on `PATH`). Distinct from `Ok(false)` so callers
