finding.rs

//! What a validator says when something is wrong.
//!
//! # Severity is about conformance, not about how annoyed you should be
//!
//! [`Severity::Error`] means the file violates the schema: a required
//! attribute is absent, a reference points at nothing, a GUID is duplicated.
//! [`Severity::Warning`] means the file is legal but suspicious.
//! [`Severity::Unsupported`] means *this validator did not check* -- the rule
//! exists in the schema and is not implemented here.
//! [`Severity::EvaluationError`] means an implemented rule applied to an
//! instance and *could not be decided* for it: an operand has a shape the rule
//! cannot read, names a target the file does not contain, or is missing from
//! the schema tables the rule was written against.
//!
//! The last two variants are the important ones. A validator that silently
//! skips what it cannot evaluate reports a clean file and is worse than
//! useless, because a clean report is exactly what a user acts on. Counting
//! the unchecked rules is what makes "no errors" mean something.
//!
//! They differ in what they say about the file. `Unsupported` is a fact about
//! this validator for every file alike, so it leaves conformance alone. An
//! `EvaluationError` is about *this* instance: the rule may well be violated
//! there, so a report carrying one is not conformant.
