forensicnomicon-core

Stable engine layer of the ForensicNomicon. Houses the slow-moving pieces that downstream analyzers and readers depend on, kept apart from the fast-moving detection knowledge (the ~6.5k artifact descriptors) in the umbrella forensicnomicon crate:

  • [report] — the normalized cross-scheme DFIR finding vocabulary (Finding/Severity/Observation) that every *-forensic analyzer emits.
  • [catalog] — the descriptor types, the [catalog::ForensicCatalog] lookup engine and its query methods, container/record parsing profiles, and the in-core decoders. It carries no artifact data; the umbrella crate wires the assembled dataset into a global CATALOG via ForensicCatalog::new.
  • [evidence::EvidenceStrength] and [volatility::VolatilityClass] — the rating types stored on each descriptor (the catalog-querying helpers live in the umbrella crate, where the global catalog is wired).
  • Structural format constants readers depend on: [decmpfs], [filesystems], [partition_schemes], [partition_types].

These carry no dependency on the assembled detection catalog, so a knowledge change never forces a republish of crates that only need this engine. The umbrella forensicnomicon crate re-exports everything here, so existing imports such as forensicnomicon::report::Finding or forensicnomicon::catalog::CATALOG continue to resolve unchanged.
