# lean-toolchain
Lean 4 toolchain discovery, fingerprinting, link diagnostics, and `build.rs` helpers for the `lean-rs` project. Sits
above [`lean-rs-sys`](https://docs.rs/lean-rs-sys) (raw FFI + header digest + symbol allowlist) and below
[`lean-rs`](https://docs.rs/lean-rs).
Owns the typed `ToolchainFingerprint`, the Lake fixture digest, layered link diagnostics, and reusable build-script
helpers downstream embedders can call from their own `build.rs`. Re-exports `LEAN_VERSION`, `LEAN_HEADER_DIGEST`, and
`REQUIRED_SYMBOLS` from `lean-rs-sys` so the allowlist lives in one place.
It also owns Lake module discovery for higher layers. `discover_lake_modules` resolves a Lake root, discovers `lean_lib`
source roots, validates module names, enumerates Lean source files deterministically, and returns source-set
fingerprints. This discovery layer does not know worker pools or downstream cache policy; `lean-rs-worker` uses it to
build import/session batches.
Runtime application code usually does not depend on this crate directly: it shows up transitively through `lean-rs`.
Downstream crates that ship Lean source commonly depend on it from `build.rs`, where `CargoLeanCapability` builds the
Lake shared library and emits the compile-time path that runtime code opens through `lean-rs` or `lean-rs-worker`.
Same-process apps pair that path with `LeanCapability`; worker apps pair it with `LeanWorkerChild` and an app-owned
worker-child binary. See
[`docs/recipes/ship-crate-with-lean.md`](https://github.com/jcreinhold/lean-rs/blob/main/docs/recipes/ship-crate-with-lean.md).
## Quick start in a downstream `build.rs`
```toml
[build-dependencies]
lean-toolchain = "0.1"
```
```rust,ignore
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
lean_toolchain::CargoLeanCapability::new("lean", "MyCapability")
.package("my_app")
.module("MyCapability")
.build()?;
Ok(())
}
```
`CargoLeanCapability` emits Lean link directives, Cargo rerun triggers, runs `lake build <target>:shared`, resolves the
built dylib path, writes a JSON artifact manifest, and emits deterministic `LEAN_RS_CAPABILITY_<TARGET>_MANIFEST` plus
compatibility `LEAN_RS_CAPABILITY_<TARGET>_DYLIB` compile-time environment variables. `build_lake_target` remains
available as the lower-level escape hatch and also covers Lake targets that depend on the generic
`lean-rs-interop-shims` package. It reports cache hits and misses on stderr, emits only `cargo:` directives on stdout,
and returns typed `LinkDiagnostics` for missing `lake`, target lookup failures, Lake build failures, and unresolved
outputs.
