csp_solver/
error.rs

1//! Unified error family for the solver's public API surface.
2//!
3//! Reconciled from grand-audit Pass 2 prototype 14 (`api-error-taxonomy`)
4//! onto the Pass-3 composed tree (Pass 3 `py-module-reconciliation`, T9).
5//!
6//! Before this, the crate had two independent, incomplete error shapes:
7//! `Unsatisfiable` (a bare unit struct, `lib.rs`) and `AssignmentError`
8//! (`builder/assignment.rs`, five variants scoped to the assignment-problem
9//! builder only, and — per the Pass-1 `rust-cop-builder` finding —
10//! conflating budget-exhaustion with genuine infeasibility). Every
11//! downstream binding (`py/`, wasm's `isomorphic.rs`) re-derived its own ad
12//! hoc mapping of "something went wrong" onto a bare
13//! `PyRuntimeError`/`JsError` string, which is exactly the "silent/conflated
14//! handling" the audit's fail-explicit precept bans (Pass-1 ledger R15, B0).
15//!
16//! `CspError` is the one family every layer should map 1:1 rather than
17//! reinvent: PyO3 via `create_exception!` (`py/errors.rs`) and wasm via a
18//! typed `WasmCspError` that stamps a `.code` onto a genuine `Error` instance
19//! (`wasm/src/errors.rs`, not reconciled in this pass — see report). `code()`
20//! is the one string all downstream layers agree on.
21//!
22//! Tests: `tests/error.rs`.
