//! The community dog index: fetching it, validating it, and treating every
//! string in it as hostile input.
//!
//! `shep dogs --available` prints this document to a terminal, so every
//! string that survives is passed through [`sanitise`] first. Response
//! headers are hostile too and are sanitised a layer below, in
//! [`crate::fetch`], which cannot import from here without a cycle.
//!
//! shep re-validates every entry itself: `SHEP_DOG_INDEX` can point
//! anywhere. A malformed entry is skipped and counted, never fatal. Only
//! [`IndexError::InsecureUrl`] names the URL; callers render these as
//! `reading the dog index from {url}: {err}`.
//!
//! [`parse`] owns the document grammar: the version check, the
//! per-entry validation and the field helper. This file owns the types,
//! the URL policy and the fetch.
