brief.rs

//! Run-brief rendering — the engine-side assembly of the Markdown brief an
//! ingest agent consumes as its prompt.
//!
//! The brief is a **rendered string** by deliberate design: an agent reads
//! it as a prompt, so a rendered Markdown contract (matching the plugin's
//! `inject.mjs` stdout) is the natural boundary, and parity between clients
//! is checked on the rendered bytes. Each block function returns a string
//! ending in a blank line (or the empty string), and the full brief is the
//! truthy blocks concatenated.
//!
//! All three modes are assembled here: [`assemble_discovery_brief`] (with the
//! header blocks [`render_situation`], [`render_intent`],
//! [`render_goal_and_avoid`], [`render_operative_data`]),
//! and [`assemble_one_shot_brief`] — plus the
//! changed-slice preface ([`render_changed_slice`], rendered from a
//! [`SourceCursor`]).

**Cross-mem references:** consult `memstead_search mem=engine` before authoring cross-mem edges. The target entity must exist — a wiki-link or relationship to a missing target either auto-stubs (silent) or fails authorization (`CROSS_MEM_RELATION`).

### Destination

- **macos** — schema: `macos-code@0.1.0`

### Paired process mem

- **ingest/macos** — schema: `ingest@0.5.0`. Inspect via `memstead_overview` / `memstead_search mem=macos`.
