basis-tasks 0.7.1

//! One error type for the whole crate.
//!
//! Every fallible operation in the moved implementation — file I/O, decode
//! failures, policy refusals — already carries a human-readable message; that
//! was true when it answered only to `basis-cli`'s own `ClientError`, and
//! nothing about becoming a library changes it. What changes is the type: a
//! `Result<_, String>` is an implementation detail a caller should not have
//! to `.to_string()` their way around, so the public surface returns this
//! instead. `basis-cli`'s exit-code and hint *text* — which of these are a
//! timeout, which are a usage error, what a `next:` line reads — stays
//! exactly where ADR-0015 puts it, in the CLI's own `ClientError`; this type
//! carries no opinion about either. What it does carry, for the handful of
//! errors that name one unambiguously, is [`hint`](Error::hint) — a fact a
//! host builds its own hint text from, not the text itself.
