4//! Which package manager delivered the binary that is running, and what that implies.
5//!
6//! Every lifecycle command needs this answer and each one used to work it out for
7//! itself. `update` had a private `Channel` enum, `uninstall` had a substring match
8//! returning an uninstall command, and `doctor` had a hand-written list of directories
9//! to search. Three classifiers, three sets of markers, and only one of them had ever
10//! heard of WinGet — so `devp update --install` overwrote a file WinGet owns, `devp
11//! uninstall` offered to delete it, and `devp doctor` never looked there at all.
12//!
13//! This module is the one answer. A channel knows its own name, its upgrade and
14//! uninstall commands, whether it owns the files it installed, and — the distinction
15//! that matters most — whether it *replaces its whole directory* on upgrade.
16//!
17//! The markers are path fragments rather than probes on purpose: classification happens
18//! on the startup path of every lifecycle command, so it must not spawn a process, touch
19//! the network, or depend on a manager being installed to recognise what it installed.
20
21use std::path::{Path, PathBuf};
22
23/// Path fragments that identify a channel, matched against the executable's path with
24/// separators normalised to `/` and folded to lower case.
25///
26/// Kept here rather than in `constants` because nothing outside this module refers to
27/// them — they are this classifier's private fingerprints, not names shared with the
28/// install scripts.
