commands-resolve: a verb a document names must be one the command dispatches on - #70
Conversation
`links-resolve` resolves a path a reader would CLICK. `anchors-resolve` a value
a reader would BELIEVE. This one a command a reader would RUN, which is the last
of the three things a document asserts about a tree -- and before any of them
existed all three failed the same way: silently, forever, with every gate in
every repository still green.
The defect it was built from is measured rather than imagined. A README opened
with `fg-registry credentials` for as long as the file existed. That command has
two verbs and `credentials` was never one of them; the binary's own error names
the alternatives, so the answer was one invocation away. Nobody invoked it,
because a reader who trusts the README has no reason to and a reader who does
not is not reading the README.
WHY THE DISPATCH AND NOT `--help`. Running the binary needs a build, and a gate
that needs the network is a gate that gets skipped. Worse, it invites resolving
a verb by RUNNING it: `fg-registry sync` in a document would be verified by
fast-forwarding thirty-nine submodules. Only the help text is safe to execute
for, and help text is prose too -- a doc comment drifts from the switch below it
exactly as the README drifted. The switch IS the verb list.
WHY A GRAMMAR. The implementation this ports read dispatches with a regex over
lines and an allow-list of eight subject spellings taken off dispatches in one
workspace. Both halves of its measured false-finding rate come from that: a
tagless `switch {` is a line the matcher cannot read, and a subject list read
off one tree describes one tree. tree-sitter was already in this binary for the
comment checks, so Go is one grammar crate and Rust is already here. A dispatch
is now recognised structurally -- it dispatches on something, two or more
branches match string literals, a catch-all exists -- and each of those three
conditions is a false finding the line matcher produced.
WHY A COMMAND MUST AGREE WITH ITSELF FIRST. A verb list read wrong is worse than
no verb list: it produces confident findings against documents that were right.
The first run of the ported implementation reported 38 findings and one binary
supplied 22 of them, every one false and every one reading as real. So a command
judges documents only when two readings of its own sources agree -- the string
labels of its dispatch, and the verbs its own usage block names about itself --
and when they disagree it is counted, named and skipped. The count is printed
every run, because a check that read four commands out of a hundred otherwise
reads exactly like one that read them all. Zero judged is exit 1 rather than a
pass, for the same reason.
WHY A PATTERN AND NOT A TABLE. `command_sources = ["cmd/{}/*.go"]` says what a
command looks like in this tree and captures the name out of the path. A list of
command names would be a second copy of the tree, free to go stale, which is the
class of defect this rule refuses in documents. The capture also bounds the
union: a command's verbs come from the files its own pattern selected, so a
sibling binary in the same repository cannot lend it verbs -- a repository-wide
widening in the original resolved a flag-only command to its neighbour's verbs,
and a document naming one of them would have passed.
NO BUNDLED SET SHIPS IT. The rule needs a pattern describing one tree's layout,
and a rule arriving from a set cannot be handed a parameter. A set carrying a
layout would either impose one workspace's convention on every inheriting
repository or ship a rule that refuses to run.
Two limits are stated in the reference and asserted by a test rather than left
to be found: a flag taking a separate value hides the verb behind it, and a
binary whose name lives in a manifest rather than in its path is not
discoverable by a path pattern.
Closes #55.
…n sentences
Two defects, both found by pointing the rule at a real workspace of nineteen
commands rather than at its own fixtures.
A TAGLESS SWITCH IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A CHAIN OF BOOLEANS. "Dispatches on
something" was never the property worth testing. Go spells a dispatch that also
guards its own argument count as `switch { case len(args) > 0 && args[0] ==
"serve": }`, and refusing to read it left a real command judged against a
SUB-dispatch found in another file of the same package -- the `record|last` of
one of its own verbs -- which produced three confident findings against a README
that was right. That is the exact failure this rule exists to prevent, arriving
through the guard against it.
The condition is now: every branch names a literal. A tagless switch whose arms
are `ready()` and `waiting()` still contributes nothing, which is the case the
guard was written for.
A SENTENCE THAT BEGINS WITH THE COMMAND'S NAME IS NOT A USAGE CLAIM. The two
readings fail in opposite directions: a false document finding accuses a file
that was right, while a false USAGE verb costs coverage in silence -- the
readings disagree and the command then judges nothing at all. A command called
`session` collected `for` and `in` out of three ordinary comments ("session in
an already-running browser", "session for the ref"), disagreed with its own
dispatch over words that are not verbs, and skipped itself out of every document
in its repository. Any command whose name is also an English word has that
waiting for it.
So the usage reading now takes only lines whose remainder still reads as an
invocation: a flag, a placeholder, an alternation, or nothing. Applied to the
usage half and deliberately not to the documents, where narrowing would drop
real findings.

documentedreturns an empty set wheninvocation(command)returnsNone.

Return an explicit "unreadable" outcome so the caller skips the command and names it.♻️ One way to make the outcome explicit

- Around line 689-694: Update the first table row in REFERENCE.md so its rule
matches dispatch_labels: a tagless switch with at least two string-literal
branches and a catch-all is still treated as a dispatch even without an explicit
dispatch subject, while preserving the existing rejection examples for
boolean-arm tagless switches.
In `@src/scan.rs`:
- Around line 678-687: Update the command discovery flow around
command_name_pattern and the select loop so selected paths that cannot produce a
capture are not silently discarded: either record each selected-but-unnamed
relative path for downstream handling, or validate and reject command_sources

globset 0.4.20 Glob syntax wildcard question mark bracket alternation braces
💡 Result:
In the globset crate (version 0.4.x), the supported Unix-style glob syntax includes the following features [1][2]:? (Wildcard) Matches any single character [1][2]. If the literal_separator option is enabled in the GlobBuilder, it cannot match a path separator [1][3]. * (Wildcard) Matches zero or more characters [1][2]. Like the question mark, if the literal_separator option is enabled, it cannot match a path separator [1][3]. (Recursive Wildcard) Recursively matches directories and is only legal in three specific situations [1][2]: 1. If the glob starts with / (e.g., /foo matches foo and bar/foo). 2. If the glob ends with / (e.g., foo/ matches foo/a and foo/a/b, but not foo). 3. If the glob contains // anywhere within the pattern (matches zero or more directories). Using anywhere else is illegal, except for the pattern itself, which matches everything [1][2]. [ab] (Bracket / Character Classes) Matches any character contained within the brackets [1][2]. You can use [!ab] to match any character except those listed [1][2]. Note that unclosed character classes can be configured to be treated as literal strings via the allow_unclosed_class setting in the GlobBuilder [3]. {a,b} (Alternation / Braces) Matches a or b, where a and b are arbitrary glob patterns [1][2]. Currently, nesting braces is not supported [1][2]. By default, empty alternates (e.g., {,.txt}) are not accepted, but this can be enabled using the empty_alternates setting in the GlobBuilder [3][4]. Additional Syntax Notes: Metacharacters like * and? can be escaped using character class notation (e.g., [*]) [1][2]. If backslash escapes are enabled (the default on Unix), a backslash () can be used to escape meta characters [1][2]. This setting can be explicitly toggled using the backslash_escape method on the GlobBuilder [3][2].

Handle selected paths that the capture regex cannot name.
Selection::files() returns repository-relative paths without a ./ prefix. However, command_name_pattern translates only * and **; valid glob syntax such as ?, bracket classes, and brace alternation remains literal in the regex. For example, cmd/{}/main?.go selects cmd/tool/main1.go, but the regex does not capture tool. Record these selected-but-unnamed paths or reject unsupported command_sources syntax so they cannot reduce the discovered-command count silently.

… table says Both from the review on #70. THE TABLE DESCRIBED THE RULE BEFORE THE FIX. `docs/REFERENCE.md` still listed "it dispatches on something" as a condition and named a Go tagless `switch {` as what it rejects, which is what the code did until the previous commit stopped doing it. An adopter reading that table would expect a guarded tagless dispatch to be skipped where it is now judged. The table now lists the condition that replaced it and says why, since the reason is the interesting half. A PATTERN READ TWICE HAS TO MEAN THE SAME THING TWICE. `command_sources` is a glob when it selects the files and a regex when it reads the command's name out of each path, and only `*`, `**`, `/` and literal text mean the same thing to both. `cmd/{}/main?.go` selects `cmd/tool/main1.go` and cannot name `tool`, so the source drops out of the discovered count with nothing said -- the failure this rule exists to refuse, arriving through its own configuration. Refused at load rather than translated: teaching the regex the rest of globset's syntax is a second implementation of somebody else's grammar, free to disagree with it on the next version. And a path that is selected and cannot be named is now counted and printed anyway, because reaching that state means the two readings have drifted and drift is the thing that must not be silent.

deleted on the merge of #68; same branch, rebased onto
main.What it is
The third resolver.
links-resolveresolves a path a reader would CLICK,anchors-resolvea value a reader would BELIEVE, this a command a reader wouldRUN.
The three decisions
A grammar, not a line matcher. The implementation this ports used a regex
over lines plus an allow-list of eight subject spellings read off one
workspace's dispatches, and both halves of its measured false-finding rate come
from that. tree-sitter was already in this binary for the comment checks, so Go
is one new grammar crate and Rust was already here.
A command agrees with itself before it judges anyone. Two readings of its
own sources -- the string labels of its dispatch, and the verbs its own usage
block names about itself -- must agree, or the command is counted, named and
skipped. The count prints every run.
A pattern, not a table.
{}is captured out of the path, so the conventionstays in the repository that has one. It also bounds the union: a sibling binary
in the same repository cannot lend a command its verbs.
What a real workspace changed about it
The rule was pointed at nineteen commands in a live Go workspace, not only at
its own fixtures, and that found two defects the fixtures could not:
a dispatch that also guards its argument count as
switch { case len(args) > 0 && args[0] == "serve": }. Refusing to read itleft a real command judged against a SUB-dispatch in another file of the same
package -- the
record|lastbelonging to one of its own verbs -- and producedthree confident findings against a README that was right. The condition is now
"every branch names a literal", which still rejects a tagless switch whose arms
are
ready()andwaiting().command called
sessioncollectedforandinout of ordinary comments,disagreed with its own dispatch over words that are not verbs, and skipped
itself out of every document in its repository. The usage reading now takes
only lines whose remainder still reads as an invocation. Applied to the usage
half and deliberately not to the documents, where narrowing would drop real
findings.
Not shipped in a bundled set
The rule needs a
command_sourcespattern describing one tree's layout, and arule arriving from a set cannot be handed a parameter.
