resolve.rs

//! The profile resolver — turning a parsed command into its behavior profile
//! (annex `behavioral-taxonomy-engine`). Runs via `engine::bridge`, which is
//! AUTHORITATIVE for every command it can resolve (`engine_verdict(tokens).unwrap_or(legacy)`
//! in `cst::check::leaf_verdict`) — there is no opt-out.
//!
//! This file holds the dispatch (`resolve`) and the per-command `resolve_*` functions;
//! the shared toolkit they build on lives in submodules: [`flags`] (the getopt-style
//! flag walker), [`locus`] (`classify_locus` — the [`LocalLocus`] ladder that refines the
//! old `is_safe_write_target` boolean, v1.4 §2.2), and [`capability`] (the builders that
//! stamp out each `Capability` with the facet pairing its operation warrants).
