Crate inker 

Inker

Modular engine/renderer controller for the mere browser — selects and orchestrates content engines (Wry system webview, Serval, nematic smolweb, file/media viewers).

In the printing-press metaphor that organizes Mere’s architecture, the Inker pairs each engine to its content and applies the engine’s “ink” to the platen press. Routing URI schemes to engines, lifecycle management, and engine-output piping all live here. (Verso names the engine-flip / compatibility-view seam — see design_docs/verso_docs/ — not a pipeline stage below platen.)

Status

Pre-1.0. This 0.0.x release reserves the crate name and documents intent; implementation is in progress within the Mere workspace.

Modules

a11y

Accessibility capability contract (R0 invariant — every surface declares what it can expose to the a11y tree; degradation is declared, never silent). Accessibility capability contract — the invariant every content surface declares about what it can expose to the accessibility tree.

document

Portable document model — what engines produce. Portable document model — what engines produce.

engine

Engine trait and registry. Engine trait, input/error vocabulary, and registry.

routing

Host-neutral engine routing contracts. Host-neutral engine routing vocabulary and default policy.

session_engine

Session-engine traits and registry — the third engine kind: retained document sessions producing paint frames (the serval HTML lanes, smolweb native). Frame-type generic; this crate stays paint-free. Session-engine traits and registry — the third engine kind (2026-07-10 session-engines plan).

sniff

Content-type sniffing for unlabelled byte streams. Content-type sniffing.

statements

Statement extraction — the pure walk collecting knot rel links. The graph-side apply lives in mere’s linked-data crate (kernel-free split). Statement extraction from knot documents (knot design doc §10.5 Phase 4; linked-data plan Phase 0) — the pure half.

surface_engine

Surface-engine traits and registry — parallel dispatch path for long-lived, frame-streaming engines (e.g. scrying.web). Surface-engine traits and registry — parallel dispatch path for long-lived, frame-streaming engines alongside crate::engine.
