trust-tasks-rs 0.13.2

Reference Rust library for the Trust Tasks framework — transport-agnostic, JSON-based descriptions of verifiable work between parties.
//! Deterministic document serialization and the SHA-256 digest built over it.
//!
//! SPEC.md §7.2 (*Keying and comparison for item 11*) defines two documents
//! sharing an `id` as **the same document** when their serializations are
//! identical under [RFC 8785][] canonicalization — the same identity §8.4
//! gives a *retry*. A consumer implementing item 11 therefore has to retain a
//! digest of what it accepted, not merely the `id`.
//!
//! [RFC 8785]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8785
//!
//! # What this module canonicalizes, and what it does not
//!
//! [`canonical_json`] emits a JSON serialization that is *equality-equivalent*
//! to RFC 8785: two [`serde_json::Value`]s produce the same bytes here exactly
//! when they produce the same bytes under JCS. It is deliberately **not**
//! claimed to be byte-identical to a JCS implementation's output, and it must
//! not be used where the bytes themselves are the interoperable artifact —
//! notably the §4.9.3 *task digest*, which is published in citations and
//! recomputed by other parties, and the `eddsa-jcs-2022` proof input, which
//! `trust-tasks-proof` canonicalizes with a real RFC 8785 implementation.
//!
//! Two deviations are known and both are confined to the bytes, not the
//! equality relation they induce:
//!
//! * **Member ordering** is by Unicode scalar value (Rust's `str` ordering),
//!   where JCS orders by UTF-16 code unit. The two disagree only for member
//!   names containing characters above the BMP alongside names in
//!   `U+E000..=U+FFFF`. Any such disagreement reorders the output of *both*
//!   documents being compared identically, so it cannot make two
//!   JCS-identical documents differ here, nor two JCS-differing documents
//!   agree.
//! * **Number formatting** is `serde_json`'s, which is shortest-round-trip
//!   like ECMAScript's `Number::toString` but spells some exponents
//!   differently (`1e100` vs JCS's `1e+100`). Again, the same `f64` always
//!   formats the same way, so the induced equality is unchanged.
//!
//! The item-11 digest is **consumer-local**: it is written to the consumer's
//! own replay record and never appears on the wire, in a citation, or in a
//! proof. Only the equality relation is load-bearing, which is why this
//! dependency-free serializer is the right size of tool for it.
//!
//! # Why a digest of the canonical form rather than the received bytes
//!
//! A consumer that keyed on the octets it received would treat re-indented
//! JSON, a reordered `payload`, or a transport that re-serializes in transit
//! as a *different* document, and would answer a legitimate §8.4 retry with
//! `idConflict` — or, worse, execute it. Canonicalizing first is what makes
//! "the same document" a property of the document rather than of the pipe it
//! arrived through.
