standards.rs

//! The Flight Rules standards corpus (ticket
//! `.kranz/tickets/flight-rules-pack-contract.md`, KRZ-341; design
//! `docs/scoping/flight-rules-engineering-standards.md`, decisions D-A through
//! D-C, D-F, and D-J): an ADDITIVE schema-4 extension of the pack contract.
//! A pack declaring `[standards] root = "..."` carries a corpus of RFC and
//! rule Markdown files that this module loads into ONE normalized,
//! stable-sorted manifest plus a sha256 content digest, and whose lifecycle
//! transitions `kranz standards lint --against <ref>` checks against the
//! trusted base.
//!
//! Corpus shape (D-A, "Canonical pack shape"):
//!
//! ```text
//! <root>/RFC-014-slug/rfc.md            — one directory per RFC
//! <root>/RFC-014-slug/rules/RULE-ID.md  — flat rule files, one rule each
//! ```
//!
//! WHY a hand-written frontmatter subset and not YAML: the engine's
//! dependency tree has no YAML crate and AGENTS.md prefers existing
//! utilities over new dependencies — the same call `super::toml` made for
//! the manifest. The subset is line-oriented and fully accountable: `key:
//! value` scalars, `key: [a, b]` inline lists, double-quoted strings with
//! `\\`/`\"` escapes, and `#` comments. Everything else — anchors, aliases,
//! tags, block scalars, single-quoted strings, nested/block values, tabs —
//! is REFUSED naming the file and field, never guessed at. Implicit typing
//! is refused field-by-field: integers are digit strings, booleans are
//! exactly `true`/`false`, enums name their vocabulary.
//!
//! WHY the traversal is capability-relative and no-follow (D-J): house
//! standards are prompt input and policy input. The pack dir is the
//! operator-chosen anchor (the same trust basis as [`crate::pack::Pack::load`]'s
//! textFile reads); every parent component is opened `open_dir_nofollow`,
//! every leaf is stat-checked regular and read `FollowSymlinks::No` with a
//! byte cap — a symlinked parent/leaf, a FIFO, a device, an oversized file,
//! or a bloated corpus fails promptly naming the file, and is never
//! followed or read unboundedly. The git-ref source applies the same
//! posture to tracked blobs: `git ls-tree` modes `120000` (symlink) and
//! `160000` (submodule) inside the corpus are load errors.
//!
//! WHY the digest covers exactly these bytes (D-C/D-F): identity comes from
//! stable frontmatter IDs, never paths — renaming a file preserves the
//! digest. The digest hashes the NORMALIZED metadata (every frontmatter
//! field of every RFC/rule, sorted by id, lists sorted and deduplicated)
//! PLUS the declarations of referenced pack gates, so changing a referenced
//! checker changes the standards digest. Markdown prose bodies are NOT
//! hashed: prose is rationale, not a second machine authority — a rationale
//! typo must not churn the digest.
//!
//! WHY the trust boundary (D-A/D-J): an external/untracked pack may supply
//! approved ADVISORY rules but cannot activate ENFORCED rules in this slice
//! — kranz has no base history with which to prove an external pack's
//! lifecycle transitions. [`crate::pack::standards::StandardsTrust::External`] plus an effectively
//! enforced rule is a load error naming the remedy (vendor the pack into
//! the repo as a tracked, repo-relative `packDir`). Repo-relative packs are
//! read from tracked blobs in the pinned base tree where the engine already
//! does that ([`crate::pack::standards::load_at_ref`], mirroring the merge-gate base-read idiom);
//! mission-time approval pinning is the next slice (KRZ-342).
//!
//! Loading and linting parse bytes only — no checker command or source text
//! is ever executed by this module.
