Function validate_id 

Source
pub fn validate_id(id: &str) -> Result<()>
Expand description

Refuse an identifier the crate’s own encodings cannot represent (D-061).

Called from ConceptUpsert::normalized and EdgeAssertion::normalized, so a bad id is refused at the boundary with a typed error rather than becoming an ambiguous log key three layers down.

The error type is the fix for defect J. This used to return DbError::NotFound(id) for a malformed identifier, which says the opposite of what happened — the id was not looked up and not missing; it was refused. A caller matching on NotFound to decide whether to create the thing would have been sent to create it again, with the same id, forever.
