1//! `dbmd-core` — the reference library for **db.md**, the open database in
2//! plain files.
3//!
4//! db.md is one directory: raw evidence in `sources/`, atomic typed data in
5//! `records/`, curator-synthesized narrative in `wiki/`, and a single `DB.md`
6//! config file at the root. Records are markdown files with YAML frontmatter;
7//! relationships are wiki-links; the index is the derived, write-through
8//! `index.md` / `index.jsonl` catalog plus embedded ripgrep.
9//!
10//! This crate owns **all** toolkit logic. The `dbmd` binary (`dbmd-cli`) is a
11//! thin wrapper that parses args, calls into here, and formats output. Any
12//! Rust tool wanting to be db.md-aware can `cargo add dbmd-core` and get the
13//! full library — the same shape as ripgrep, where the `grep`/`ignore` libs do
14//! the work and `rg` is a thin CLI.
15//!
16//! # Hard invariants this crate is built to uphold
17//!
18//! - **Zero AI/LLM dependencies.** No provider SDKs, no API keys, no model
19//!   calls, no embeddings, no vectors, no ANN — anywhere, ever. The agent
20//!   driving `dbmd` is the semantic layer; `dbmd` is a deterministic tool.
21//! - **The interactive loop is O(changed), never O(store).** Loop ops
22//!   ([`graph::backlinks`], [`validate::validate_working_set`],
23//!   [`index::Index::on_write`], …) never call [`store::Store::walk`]. Whole-
24//!   store walks belong only to SWEEP ops ([`validate::validate_all`],
25//!   [`index::Index::rebuild_all`], [`stats`]).
26//! - **Wiki-links are full store-relative paths.** A short-form wiki-link is a
27//!   validation error ([`validate`] code `WIKI_LINK_SHORT_FORM`).
28//! - **Embedded ripgrep.** Free-text body search uses the `grep` + `ignore`
29//!   crates in-process; the toolkit never bundles or shells out to `rg`.
30//!   Structured loop reads ([`graph::backlinks`], [`query::Query`]) ride the
31//!   `index.jsonl` sidecars instead, never a frontmatter tree scan.
