ostraka-runtime 1.0.0

//! The gate, and the one type the orchestrator cannot forge.
//!
//! The structural rule is that whoever wrote a change cannot be the one who
//! approves it. Stating that in documentation makes it a convention; stating it
//! here makes it a fact about the program.
//!
//! [`MergeToken`] has private fields and no public constructor. The only way to
//! obtain one is [`evaluate`], which requires both an [`AllChecksPassed`] —
//! itself obtainable only by actually running the checks — and an approval whose
//! reviewer differs from the change's author. An orchestrator holding every
//! other type in this crate still cannot produce one.
//!
//! This is also why the gate is not a separate crate. Across a crate boundary it
//! would have to be an injectable trait, and an injectable gate is a bypassable
//! one — which is the failure the whole design exists to prevent.
