//! The community dog index: fetching it, validating it, and treating every
//! string in it as hostile input.
//!
//! `shep dogs --available` reads a JSON document the docs site publishes at
//! [`DEFAULT_INDEX_URL`], listing the dogs an operator could adopt. That
//! document is built from pull requests by strangers, and **every string in
//! it is printed to a terminal**. A `description` carrying `\u{1b}[2J`
//! clears the operator's screen; `\u{1b}]0;` rewrites their window title;
//! and since shep emits colour of its own now, a well-placed escape can
//! imitate shep's own output with the reader having no way to tell an
//! entry's bytes from shep's. Without a guard, "somebody added a row to a
//! table" becomes "somebody can drive your terminal".
//!
//! So this module is the security boundary for everything the index says,
//! and it holds the whole of that boundary bar one function.
//!
//! ## What it does about that
//!
//! **Every string that survives is sanitised first** ([`sanitise`], which
//! lives in [`crate::terminal_safe`] and states the rule in full). Control
//! characters, and the invisible or reordering format characters that are
//! not control characters, are stripped; non-ASCII prose survives
//! untouched.
//!
//! The sanitiser sits in its own module rather than in this file because
//! the *body* of a response is not the only hostile string in a fetch. Its
//! **headers** are too, and those are read a layer below this one, in
//! [`crate::fetch`] — which cannot import from here without a module
//! cycle. That asymmetry was a real hole for the length of this branch: a
//! hostile `Location:` on a 3xx reached the terminal raw while every string
//! beside it in the body was cleaned. [`crate::terminal_safe`]'s own doc
//! has the history.
//!
//! **An entry that needed stripping still lists, and is counted**
//! ([`Index::sanitised`]). It is reported rather than quietly repaired
//! because silently fixing hostile input teaches nobody that it happened,
//! and a maintainer reading that count has a reason to go and look at the
//! pull request that added the row.
//!
//! **shep re-validates rather than trusting the site's own build**
//! ([`parse_index`]). The docs site validates this JSON at build time, but
//! that is a different program on a different machine, and it may be older,
//! newer, or bypassed entirely by whoever is serving `SHEP_DOG_INDEX`. So:
//! required fields present, `category` one of the six known, `repo` and any
//! `source` URL `https://`.
//!
//! **A malformed entry is skipped and counted, never fatal**
//! ([`Index::skipped`]). One bad row must not blank the listing, and the
//! skip must not be silent either.
//!
//! ## Errors and the URL
//!
//! None of [`IndexError`]'s variants but [`IndexError::InsecureUrl`] names
//! the document's location, because the caller always knows it and would
//! otherwise print it twice. A caller renders these as
//! `reading the dog index from {url}: {err}`.
