Struct PolicyDescriptor 

pub struct PolicyDescriptor {
    pub id: PolicyId,
    pub name: &'static str,
    pub default_severity: Severity,
    pub warn_safe: bool,
    pub accepts_options: bool,
    pub off_unless_listed: bool,
}

What: struct PolicyDescriptor is one registry row. &'static str is a borrowed string baked into the executable for its whole run ('static is that “lives forever” lifetime). Sibling: String, an owned copy. bool is true/false, exactly TS boolean. Why: Registry text is compiled in and never changes, so borrowing forever is free, while String would allocate at startup for no gain.

In TS you’d write (pseudocode):

type PolicyDescriptor = { id: PolicyId; name: string; defaultSeverity: Severity;
  warnSafe: boolean; acceptsOptions: boolean; offUnlessListed: boolean };

Fields

id: PolicyId

Typed identity used by Rust callers.

name: &'static str

Stable configuration key and JSONL policyId.

default_severity: Severity

The incumbent policy definition’s defaultSeverity. A built-in policy the repository configuration does not name runs at this severity.

warn_safe: bool

Whether warn keeps the policy’s protection (an unsafe warn earns a warning event).

accepts_options: bool

Whether the ["severity", { ... }] form is accepted for this policy.

off_unless_listed: bool

Whether the policy runs only where cli-git.config.jsonc names it. The four policies that plugins used to provide are off everywhere else, with or without a configuration file (decided 2026-10-05).
