axon-lang 4.5.1

AXON — the formal cognitive language: a deterministic, proof-carrying AI runtime. Native Rust lexer/parser/type-checker/IR generator (re-exported from axon-frontend) plus the runtime: typed channels (π-calculus mobility, capability extrusion), algebraic effects via Free Monad CPS handlers, lease kernel + reconcile loop, the Epistemic Security Kernel, Trust Types, Proof-Carrying Code (independently verifiable proof objects), and the closed-catalog extension mechanism. Crate publishes as `axon-lang`; library import is `use axon::*` so existing call sites keep working unchanged.

//! v2.89.0 — **a declared `scan:` with no scanner to run it REFUSES.**
//!
//! # What this closes
//!
//! OSS ships zero shield scanners (the vertical HIPAA / legal / AML /
//! prompt-injection implementations are enterprise R&D). Until now a shield
//! with no registered scanner was an **identity passthrough** at both
//! enforcement sites, and the value was bound under a name asserting a property
//! nothing had checked. v2.67.0 F12 names that shape for `warden`: *a clean-looking
//! result for a target that was never opened*.
//!
//! # Why not simply refuse for every shield
//!
//! v2.83.0 already argued the other half, deliberately, when it DELETED
//! `apply_ots_to_target` and kept `apply_shield_to_target`:
//!
//! > *"an UNREGISTERED name REFUSES — because unlike a shield (a filter, where
//! > absence honestly leaves data untouched), an ots output CLAIMS to be the
//! > transformed input, and identity under that claim fabricates a result."*
//!
//! That argument is right, and this cycle keeps it — for a shield that declares
//! no `scan:`. Such a shield asserts nothing about the content, so passing the
//! content through untouched is honest.
//!
//! It stops being right the moment the shield declares `scan: [...]`. That is
//! not a request to filter; it is an ASSERTION about the content, which the PCC
//! proves over (`pcc::generate` walks `shield.scan`) and the ESK maps to ISO
//! 27001 A.8.23. It is also what v2.52.0's web-taint barrier rests on: `<web>`
//! content is born Untrusted and `prompt_injection` is what it must
//! pass before an agent's belief. An identity there tracks the taint at compile
//! time and evaporates it at runtime.
//!
//! So the refusal is bounded by the DECLARATION, and the boundary is the
//! subject: the `scan:` list is resolved onto the enforcement nodes at lowering
//! (Phase 0, beside `breach_policy` — v2.69.0's pattern) because `DispatchCtx`
//! carries no shield catalog and v2.88.0 measured that stamping beats threading an
//! `Arc` through eight ctx-build sites.
//!
//! # Law 4
//!
//! Every test below takes `.axon` SOURCE as its input and dispatches the node
//! the compiler actually produced. A gate that hand-builds the IR proves the
//! handler; only source proves the path.
