Struct Candidate 

pub struct Candidate {
    pub identity: CandidateIdentity,
    pub path: Vec<u8>,
    pub mode: CandidateMode,
    pub change: CandidateChange,
    pub object: Option<ObjectId>,
}

What: One changed path of a version. Vec<u8> is an owned byte list (sibling String would require UTF-8). Option<ObjectId> is “an object name or nothing”. Why: Git pathnames are arbitrary bytes on Unix and are kept exactly. A deleted path has no object, which the type states.

In TS you’d write (pseudocode):

type Candidate = { identity: CandidateIdentity; path: Buffer; mode: CandidateMode; change: CandidateChange; object?: ObjectId };

Fields

identity: CandidateIdentity

Invocation-local identity, independent of the pathname.

path: Vec<u8>

Repository-relative pathname with / separators, exactly as Git stores it.

mode: CandidateMode

Mode in the candidate state, or the baseline’s mode for a deleted path.

change: CandidateChange

Change against the baseline.

object: Option<ObjectId>

Object in the candidate state; absent for a deleted path.
