dodot_lib/paths/mod.rs
1//! Path resolution for dodot.
2//!
3//! `Pather` is dodot's single source of truth for *every* filesystem
4//! coordinate the rest of the codebase touches: `$HOME`, the dotfiles
5//! repo root, the XDG data/config/cache directories, and per-pack and
6//! per-handler subdirectories. Two reasons it's a trait, not free
7//! functions:
8//!
9//! 1. **Testability.** Constructing a `Pather` whose roots all live
10//! under a `tempfile::TempDir` lets every command run end-to-end
11//! against a real filesystem without ever touching the user's
12//! actual `$HOME`. The `testing::TempEnvironment` builder does
13//! exactly this.
14//!
15//! 2. **Centralisation of OS-shaped policy.** The XDG fallback chain,
16//! the `DOTFILES_ROOT` env-var lookup, and (planned, per
17//! `docs/proposals/macos-paths.lex`) the macOS `app_support_dir`
18//! selection all live in one place. The resolver, the symlink
19//! handler, and `adopt`'s source-path inference all consult the
20//! same accessors — drift between them is impossible by construction.
21//!
22//! ## Adopt source-root invariants
23//!
24//! The inference function in `commands::adopt::infer` needs *stable
25//! root strings* it can prefix-match against canonicalised source
26//! paths. The accessors exposed here meet two requirements that make
27//! that work safely:
28//!
29//! - `home_dir()` and `xdg_config_home()` return paths that
30//! `std::fs::canonicalize` resolves to themselves on a real
31//! filesystem (they're real directories, not synthetic constants).
32//! This is what makes the `/var` ↔ `/private/var` macOS equivalence
33//! collapse cleanly when both a source and a root are canonicalised
34//! before comparison.
35//!
36//! - On the default config (no `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` set), `xdg_config_home()`
37//! is `home_dir().join(".config")` — i.e. *nested under* `$HOME`.
38//! Inference must check the more-specific (XDG) root before HOME so
39//! `~/.config/nvim/init.lua` matches XDG, not "nested under HOME".
40//! That's enforced by the inference function, not by `Pather`, but
41//! the nesting shape originates here.
