ptuf 0.5.0

PreToolUseFilter: a generic guardrail layer for coding agents
Documentation
//! Built-in rules defined in `builtins.yaml` and compiled through the
//! plugin DSL (`crate::plugin::dsl`).
//!
//! This is the first slice of the builtin/DSL unification tracked in
//! `docs/adr/0004-builtins-as-dsl-2026-07.md`: rules whose semantics
//! the DSL can express live in the embedded YAML instead of a
//! hand-written Rust `ConfigRule`. [`crate::rules::iter`] chains these
//! after the static Rust built-ins, so the engine applies pack
//! disables, rule overrides, allowlists, and `hardDeny` semantics
//! identically to both kinds.
//!
//! The YAML is embedded via `include_str!` and its compilation is
//! deterministic, so a load failure is structurally unreachable and
//! pinned by tests. Should it ever happen anyway, the set degrades to a
//! single match-everything hard-deny sentinel — ptuf fails closed
//! rather than silently dropping guardrails.
