warnings.rs

//! Gap 14 - `warnings[]` structural diagnostics for `/v1/retrieve`.
//!
//! Surfaces "why did you get what you got" information to agent
//! callers: when a knob is accepted but its precondition is not met
//! (community_filter without substrate, graph_mode=ppr without edges,
//! rerank without provider, etc.), the response carries a structured
//! [`Warning`] entry describing the silent no-op and pointing at a
//! remediation doc.
//!
//! # Anti-prompt-injection posture
//!
//! Every message body is a **compile-time-constant** string sourced
//! from `crates/mnem-core/src/retrieve/warnings/<code>.txt` via
//! [`include_str!`]. The only constructor is
//! [`Warning::for_code`], and it takes a [`WarningCode`] variant -
//! there is no runtime-string path, no `format!`, no user-input
//! interpolation. User input can therefore never appear in
//! `warning.message`, making the array safe to forward verbatim into
//! an agent prompt.
//!
//! # Cap
//!
//! Callers MUST pass their collected warnings through [`cap_warnings`]
//! before serialising. Beyond [`WARNINGS_CAP`] (8), the tail is
//! replaced with a synthetic [`WarningCode::WarningsTruncated`] entry
//! so a crafted query cannot generate a multi-kB diagnostic payload.
//!
//! # Catalog lint
//!
//! `cargo xtask lint-warnings` walks every [`WarningCode`] variant
//! and asserts (a) the message `include_str!` target exists and is
//! non-empty and (b) the [`WarningCode::remediation_ref`] markdown
//! file exists. Adding a new variant without those two files is a
//! compile-time failure.
