From f4da7811e81823cae06ef8f4dfd219d4cdc502bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinnie Falco Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:18:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Document every public item of the promptforge facade The facade pages now explain each public type, constructor, method, argument, field, and variant for a host author. `lib.md` gives a short introduction to prompts, a first run, the host loop, the walk, determinism, concurrency, and a full reference for the root items. Each module page gives its place in the host loop, worked doctests, and a reference section. - Links to enum variant fields point at the re-exported enum with a field anchor, for example `(Event#variant.TaskAbandoned.field.reason)`. A direct link to the field resolves to the defining internal crate. - Doctest prompt sources use `concat!` with one string per line, because rustdoc hides doctest lines that start with `# `. - The pages state current gaps as facts: eight `Event` variants have no emit site, `Stat` and `Entry` have no public constructor for a custom `VfsAccess`, no `Flags` bit is defined, and `Environment::max_depth` is not read. - `cancel.md` now says that the engine shares one run flag with every section and does not create per-task child handles. - Only `.md` files under `crates/promptforge/src/` change. No Rust source or public signature changes. --- crates/promptforge/src/cancel.md | 206 +++- crates/promptforge/src/capabilities.md | 305 +++++- crates/promptforge/src/effect.md | 346 ++++++- crates/promptforge/src/event.md | 485 ++++++++- crates/promptforge/src/ids.md | 297 +++++- crates/promptforge/src/input.md | 375 ++++++- crates/promptforge/src/lib.md | 636 +++++++++++- crates/promptforge/src/metrics.md | 322 +++++- crates/promptforge/src/model.md | 651 +++++++++++- crates/promptforge/src/prompt.md | 513 +++++++++- crates/promptforge/src/replay.md | 136 ++- crates/promptforge/src/timestamp.md | 164 ++- crates/promptforge/src/tools.md | 508 +++++++++- crates/promptforge/src/transport.md | 409 +++++++- crates/promptforge/src/vfs.md | 898 +++++++++++++++-- guide/CONTRIBUTING.md | 22 +- tools/document.md | 290 ------ tools/dokuman-promptforge.md | 1288 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 18 files changed, 7267 insertions(+), 584 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 tools/document.md create mode 100644 tools/dokuman-promptforge.md diff --git a/crates/promptforge/src/cancel.md b/crates/promptforge/src/cancel.md index cf7d8a89..43dd9a94 100644 --- a/crates/promptforge/src/cancel.md +++ b/crates/promptforge/src/cancel.md @@ -1,17 +1,205 @@ -Cooperative cancellation for a run. +The cancel flag that stops a run, shared by cloning, arranged into parent and child handles, and set from any thread. -# Cancelling a run +A run is a pure state machine, so it never awaits a cancel.

[`CancelHandle`] is [`Send`], [`Sync`], and `'static`, so the clone moves into the other thread while the run stays with the thread that steps it. Calling [`CancelHandle::cancel`] on the clone has exactly the same effect as calling [`Run::cancel`](crate::Run::cancel) on the run, because both set one flag. +2. **Step.** The section's Lua loop is legal. The Lua instruction hook's trip budget is effectively unlimited, so the run's cancel flag is the only thing that aborts such a loop. Every block coroutine gets the same hook, and once the flag is set the hook fails the running chunk with "lua execution cancelled". +3. **Read the result.** This run had no effects outstanding, so the step that observes the cancel is already [`Step::Done`](crate::Step::Done) with [`RunResult::Cancelled`](crate::RunResult::Cancelled). + +Setting the flag is a request, not a synchronous stop. Running Lua aborts at its next hook firing, and then the shutdown in [Where this fits](#where-this-fits) follows.

On a run whose first step will report a startup failure, [`Run::cancel`](crate::Run::cancel) and [`Run::cancel_handle`](crate::Run::cancel_handle) still work before that first step. + +# Giving a run your own flag + +Cloning a [`CancelHandle`] gives another handle over the same flag, and a cancel through any clone is seen by every clone. That is how one flag is shared across threads and components. + +A host that wants to own the flag builds one with [`CancelHandle::new`] and passes it to the [`RunContext::cancel`](crate::RunContext::cancel) builder, which replaces the flag that [`RunContext::new`](crate::RunContext::new) minted. Whether or not the host does this, [`RunContext::cancel_handle`](crate::RunContext::cancel_handle) returns the context's flag. It is named `cancel_handle` because the builder method already has the name [`RunContext::cancel`](crate::RunContext::cancel). Hand the flag to your activated capabilities, and one cancel reaches the run and everything working for it. + +```` +use std::sync::Arc; + +use promptforge::cancel::CancelHandle; +use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; +use promptforge::{Prompt, Run, RunContext}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: greeter\n", + "description: says hi\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Greeter\n", + "\n", + "## Say hi\n", + "\n", + "Say hello.\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "greeter"); + +let host = CancelHandle::new(); +let ctx = RunContext::new("greeter", 7, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH).cancel(host.clone()); +let for_capabilities = ctx.cancel_handle(); +let mut run = Run::new(Arc::new(parsed?), "", ctx); +assert!(!host.is_cancelled()); + +run.cancel(); +assert!(host.is_cancelled()); +assert!(for_capabilities.is_cancelled()); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +The host's clone, the capabilities' handle, and the run all hold one flag, so [`Run::cancel`](crate::Run::cancel) is visible through each of them. The same works in the other direction: calling [`CancelHandle::cancel`] on `host` stops the run. + +**Bridging an async token.** A host whose async runtime cancels through an awaitable token bridges it to the run by setting this synchronous flag when the token fires. The capabilities that hold the same flag stop too. + +# Trees of handles + +[`CancelHandle::child`] mints a fresh handle with its own flag. The child reports cancelled when its own flag is set or when any ancestor's flag is set. Cancelling a parent cancels every descendant, and cancelling one child leaves its parent and its siblings running. + +The engine never builds a tree itself. Within a run it installs the one run flag on every section's Lua state and never calls [`CancelHandle::child`]. There are no per-task child handles inside a run. A script that cancels one of its own tasks with `task_cancel` goes through the engine's task table, not through a handle. So [`CancelHandle::child`] is a host-side tool, for arranging runs and capabilities into trees of your own. + +This host keeps one root and gives each of two runs a child: + +```` +use promptforge::cancel::CancelHandle; + +let host = CancelHandle::new(); +let first_run = host.child(); +let second_run = host.child(); + +first_run.cancel(); +assert!(first_run.is_cancelled()); +assert!(!host.is_cancelled() && !second_run.is_cancelled()); + +host.cancel(); +assert!(second_run.is_cancelled()); +assert!(host.child().child().is_cancelled()); +```` + +Pass a child to [`RunContext::cancel`](crate::RunContext::cancel), and the run becomes one node in the tree. Cancelling the parent from another thread then stops the run, including a Lua loop that never yields. That is the program from [Cancelling from another thread](#cancelling-from-another-thread) with two changes: the context gets a child of a host-held parent through [`RunContext::cancel`](crate::RunContext::cancel), and the other thread calls [`CancelHandle::cancel`] on the parent. + +Trees nest to any depth. A child minted from a parent that is already cancelled starts out cancelled, which is why the grandchild on the example's last line reports cancelled. A child holds its parent and never the reverse, so a tree has no reference cycles and nothing needs to unregister when a handle drops. Cloning a child shares the child's flag, not the parent's. + +# Waiting for a cancel + +Checking [`CancelHandle::is_cancelled`] is enough for a host that polls. A host that waits calls [`CancelHandle::cancelled`], which returns a [`Cancelled`] future that completes with `()` once the handle reports cancelled. It works without an async runtime or a timer. The cancel that sets the flag wakes it, so it never spins. + +```` +use std::future::Future; +use std::pin::pin; +use std::task::{Context, Poll, Waker}; + +use promptforge::cancel::CancelHandle; + +let host = CancelHandle::new(); +let mut waiting = pin!(host.child().cancelled()); +let mut cx = Context::from_waker(Waker::noop()); +assert_eq!(waiting.as_mut().poll(&mut cx), Poll::Pending); + +host.cancel(); +assert_eq!(waiting.as_mut().poll(&mut cx), Poll::Ready(())); + +let mut late = pin!(host.cancelled()); +assert_eq!(late.as_mut().poll(&mut cx), Poll::Ready(())); +```` + +A waiter on a child is woken by a cancel anywhere up its ancestor chain, exactly once. A descendant's cancel never wakes a waiter on its parent. A future drawn from a handle that is already cancelled is ready at its first poll, as the last two lines show. + +**Selecting beside effect answers.** A tokio host can drive a run from one task that waits on either the next effect answer from its workers or the flag's [`CancelHandle::cancelled`] future. When the flag fires, the task calls [`Run::cancel`](crate::Run::cancel), so the next [`Run::step`](crate::Run::step) observes it at once. Both arms are event-driven, so a fully suspended run costs no wakeups while it waits. + +# Cancelled versus failed runs + +A run cancelled through its flag ends with [`RunResult::Cancelled`](crate::RunResult::Cancelled). The flag is not the only way to get there. Answering an effect with [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped) resumes the waiting chain with a cancelled error, and if nothing handles that error, the run also ends with [`RunResult::Cancelled`](crate::RunResult::Cancelled), without any call to [`Run::cancel`](crate::Run::cancel). + +A failure that the host's cancel caused carries [`RunErrorKind::Cancelled`](crate::RunErrorKind::Cancelled), and [`RunError::is_cancelled`](crate::RunError::is_cancelled) returns `true` for it. The [`Run`](crate::Run) interface reports cancellation as [`RunResult::Cancelled`](crate::RunResult::Cancelled), so a host driving a [`Run`](crate::Run) normally sees that variant, and treats it as a clean stop rather than a failure. + +# Reference + +## CancelHandle + +[`CancelHandle`] is a cloneable, thread-safe cancel flag that can have a parent. The engine checks it before each chain step and from the Lua instruction hook, and the host sets it from any thread to stop a run or one branch of a tree of handles. + +The host gets one in four ways: [`CancelHandle::new`] or [`CancelHandle::default`] for a root, [`CancelHandle::child`] for a descendant, [`Clone`] for another handle over the same flag, or a run's flag from [`Run::cancel_handle`](crate::Run::cancel_handle) or [`RunContext::cancel_handle`](crate::RunContext::cancel_handle). It is [`Send`], [`Sync`], [`Unpin`], and `'static`. + +- [`CancelHandle::new`] takes no arguments and returns a root handle with no parent, not cancelled to start. It stays independent of every other handle until it is cloned or given children. [`RunContext::new`](crate::RunContext::new) mints its own flag this way. The result is `#[must_use]`. [`CancelHandle::default`] returns the same thing. +- [`CancelHandle::child`] takes `&self`, the parent, which may be any handle, cancelled or not. It returns a fresh handle with its own flag that reports cancelled when its own flag or any ancestor's flag is set. A child of a cancelled parent is cancelled from the start. Cancelling the child never affects the parent or siblings. The result is `#[must_use]`. It cannot fail. +- [`CancelHandle::cancel`] takes `&self`, so it works through a shared reference from any thread, and returns nothing. Afterwards this handle, every clone, and every descendant report cancelled. The parent and siblings are untouched. It is idempotent and irreversible: calls after the first do nothing, and the flag never clears. A host that needs a fresh flag builds a new handle. The call also wakes every [`Cancelled`] future waiting on this handle or on a descendant. It cannot fail. +- [`CancelHandle::cancelled`] takes `&self`, the handle to wait on, and returns a [`Cancelled`] future over a clone of that handle. The future completes at once if the handle already reports cancelled, and otherwise when a cancel lands on the handle or on any ancestor. Await it, pin and poll it, or select over it beside other event sources. It cannot fail. +- [`CancelHandle::is_cancelled`] takes `&self` and returns a [`bool`]: `true` if [`CancelHandle::cancel`] has been called on this handle, any clone, or any ancestor, and `false` otherwise. It is monotonic, so once it returns `true` it never returns `false` again. It walks the ancestor chain with one atomic load per level, so its cost grows with nesting depth. The result is `#[must_use]`. It cannot fail. + +[`CancelHandle`] implements [`Debug`](std::fmt::Debug) as `CancelHandle { cancelled: , depth: }`, where `depth` is the number of ancestors, `0` for a root. Use it to inspect a handle's state and nesting while debugging. + +```` +use promptforge::cancel::CancelHandle; + +let root = CancelHandle::new(); +assert_eq!(format!("{root:?}"), "CancelHandle { cancelled: false, depth: 0 }"); +assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", root.child()), "CancelHandle { cancelled: false, depth: 1 }"); + +root.cancel(); +root.cancel(); +assert!(root.is_cancelled()); +assert_eq!(format!("{root:?}"), "CancelHandle { cancelled: true, depth: 0 }"); +```` + +## Cancelled + +[`Cancelled`] is the future that [`CancelHandle::cancelled`] returns. It lets a host wait on a cancel instead of checking the flag on a timer. Hosts only receive it from [`CancelHandle::cancelled`]. It has no public constructor, fields, or methods. + +It implements [`Future`](std::future::Future) with an output of `()`. A poll returns [`Poll::Ready`](std::task::Poll::Ready) once the handle, a clone, or an ancestor is cancelled, and [`Poll::Pending`](std::task::Poll::Pending) otherwise. Each poll registers the task's [`Waker`](std::task::Waker) on every handle up the ancestor chain before it reads the flag, so a cancel that lands between the two is not lost. The cancel itself wakes the task, and the future never times out or spins. + +It owns a clone of its handle, so it can be held across awaits. It is [`Send`], [`Sync`], and [`Unpin`]. It is `#[must_use]`, because a future does nothing unless polled. diff --git a/crates/promptforge/src/capabilities.md b/crates/promptforge/src/capabilities.md index 74da6b15..6589d484 100644 --- a/crates/promptforge/src/capabilities.md +++ b/crates/promptforge/src/capabilities.md @@ -1,21 +1,306 @@ -Capability identities and the global naming grammar they are built on. +Capability ids, the naming grammar shared by capability and tool names, and the errors that name each broken rule. -# Capabilities +A capability is host code that runs at run setup and makes services, such as tools, available to a run.

A descriptor's [`ToolDescriptor::conflicts`](crate::tools::ToolDescriptor::conflicts) lists [`CapabilityId`] values, which the host checks before activation. The host can confirm that each tool belongs to its capability with [`CapabilityId::contains`]. +3. **Report.** The host records what it could not satisfy in a [`Requirements`](crate::Requirements) value.

[`ToolId::capability`](crate::tools::ToolId::capability) goes the other way and returns the tool's [`CapabilityId`] without re-parsing. +4. **Handle a rejection.** A three-segment tool id is not a capability id, so the parse fails.

This is [`CapabilityIdErrorKind::Empty`] or [`GlobalNameErrorKind::Empty`]. +- **Disallowed byte.** A segment holds a byte outside `a` to `z`, `0` to `9`, `-`, `_`, and `.`. This is [`CapabilityIdErrorKind::Control`] or [`GlobalNameErrorKind::Control`]. Despite the name, this kind covers every disallowed byte, not only control characters. + +The checks run in a fixed order, and the first failure wins. + +1. **Count first.** The segments are counted before any segment is examined. The empty string splits into one empty segment, so it is a segment count error, not an empty segment error. A four-segment input that also has an empty segment is still a segment count error. +2. **Segments left to right.** The segments are then checked in order. Each one is checked for emptiness first and then byte by byte, from left to right. +3. **Exactly 2 for a capability id.** [`CapabilityId::parse`] runs the first two checks with the shared 2-or-3 count, and only text that passes them is checked for exactly 2 segments. So a three-segment input is a segment count error only when all three segments are valid. `promptforge//web` is an empty segment error, and `Promptforge/web/fetch` is a disallowed byte error. Both count checks give the same message. + +So `/Web` is an empty segment error, because its empty first segment is checked before the uppercase `W`. `Promptforge/` is a disallowed byte error, because the uppercase `P` in the first segment is found before the empty second segment. + +```` +use promptforge::capabilities::{CapabilityId, CapabilityIdErrorKind, GlobalName, GlobalNameErrorKind}; + +let kind = |text: &str| CapabilityId::parse(text).err().map(|error| error.kind()); +assert!(kind("promptforge/web").is_none()); +assert!(matches!(kind(""), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::SegmentCount))); +assert!(matches!(kind("promptforge"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::SegmentCount))); +assert!(matches!(kind("promptforge/web/fetch"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::SegmentCount))); +assert!(matches!(kind("a//b/c"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::SegmentCount))); +assert!(matches!(kind("promptforge/"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::Empty))); +assert!(matches!(kind("/Web"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::Empty))); +assert!(matches!(kind("promptforge//web"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::Empty))); +assert!(matches!(kind("Promptforge/"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::Control))); +assert!(matches!(kind("promptforge/web@2"), Some(CapabilityIdErrorKind::Control))); + +let name_kind = |text: &str| GlobalName::parse(text).err().map(|error| error.kind()); +assert!(name_kind("promptforge/web/fetch").is_none()); +assert!(matches!(name_kind("promptforge/web/fetch/extra"), Some(GlobalNameErrorKind::SegmentCount))); +assert!(matches!(name_kind("promptforge//web"), Some(GlobalNameErrorKind::Empty))); +assert!(matches!(name_kind("promptforge/w\tb"), Some(GlobalNameErrorKind::Control))); + +let tab = GlobalName::parse("promptforge/w\tb").err().ok_or("a tab is rejected")?; +assert_eq!(tab.to_string(), "invalid global name: segments must not contain a control character"); +let tab = CapabilityId::parse("promptforge/w\tb").err().ok_or("a tab is rejected")?; +assert_eq!( + tab.to_string(), + "invalid capability id: segments may contain only lowercase ASCII letters, digits, '-', '_', '.'", +); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +The last two checks show the one difference between the two error types' messages.

A host that describes its own tools passes a [`Vec`] of them to [`ToolDescriptor::with_conflicts`](crate::tools::ToolDescriptor::with_conflicts).

Supply `namespace/pack` for a capability or `namespace/pack/name` for a tool. +- [`GlobalNameErrorKind::Empty`]: the count is 2 or 3, but a leading, trailing, or doubled `/` leaves a segment empty, as in `/web`, `promptforge/`, or `promptforge//web`. Remove the stray separator or fill in the missing segment. +- [`GlobalNameErrorKind::Control`]: a segment contains a byte outside the allowed set.

It is `false` for a nested `models.infer`, where only the completed reply matters, and then the host passes a no-op delta callback to [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream). + +The run reads the answer this way. A backend error that reports a provider context overflow becomes the overflow answer under a failed turn. An empty-reply error becomes a completed round with no reply. Any other error fails the turn. If the model requests a tool outside the set advertised for the round, the call fails as out of scope. The host never sees an over-window request for a `models.loop` round, because the run refuses it before issuing the effect. -# Records +**ToolCall.** [`Effect::ToolCall`] asks for one call to a bound tool. The host sees it when a section's script calls a bound tool, or when a model round requests one. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::ToolCall`], which holds a [`Result`] of a [`ToolOutput`](crate::tools::ToolOutput) or a [`ToolError`](crate::tools::ToolError). -An [`Effect`] may hold a live handle (the store capability), and an [`EffectAnswer`] may hold values a log cannot keep whole (a completion's bodies, an error's boxed cause), so neither serializes itself. [`Effect::record`] projects an effect onto its [`EffectRecord`], the request minus its handles, and [`EffectAnswer::record`] projects an answer onto its [`AnswerRecord`], the outcome with every failure rendered as text. Both records round-trip through serde: a run log stores them, and a replay compares a re-executed run's records against them. A completed round records as a [`ChatAnswerRecord`], a tool's output as a [`ToolAnswerRecord`], an input outcome as an [`InputAnswerRecord`], and a store outcome as a [`StoreAnswerRecord`]. +To produce the answer, resolve the effect's [`tool`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.tool) to your own implementation. It is the tool's stable [`ToolId`](crate::tools::ToolId), and it names the implementation behind the tool slot that [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) filled. The [`alias`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.alias) is only the prompt's local name, so never resolve by it. Call the implementation with the effect's [`args`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.args). Build a success with [`ToolOutput::trusted`](crate::tools::ToolOutput::trusted) or [`ToolOutput::untrusted`](crate::tools::ToolOutput::untrusted), and a failure with [`ToolError::message`](crate::tools::ToolError::message) or [`ToolError::with_source`](crate::tools::ToolError::with_source), optionally refined with [`ToolError::with_kind`](crate::tools::ToolError::with_kind). When the id resolves to nothing in your table, answer an error, as the example above does. The [`tools`](crate::tools) module page covers tool implementations. -``` -use promptforge::effect::{AnswerRecord, Effect, EffectAnswer, EffectRecord}; +The run counts the call when it issues the effect, before the host runs the tool. After the answer arrives, the run applies its trust rule, which wraps untrusted output in a nonce envelope. A local tool is a Lua function on the section's own Lua state, and the run answers it internally, so it never becomes an [`Effect::ToolCall`]. + +**UserInput.** [`Effect::UserInput`] is one wait for operator input. The host sees one for every `user_input()` call, whether or not it has an operator. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::UserInput`], which holds a [`Result`] of an [`InputOutcome`](crate::input::InputOutcome) or an [`InputError`](crate::input::InputError). In Lua, `user_input()` returns two values: the text and an `available` flag. There are three answers: + +- [`InputOutcome::Text`](crate::input::InputOutcome::Text) in [`Ok`] carries the operator's text, which the section receives byte-exact. The section resumes with `available` set to true. +- [`InputOutcome::Unavailable`](crate::input::InputOutcome::Unavailable) in [`Ok`] means the host has no input to give. The section resumes with the fixed sentence "User input is unavailable in this host; continue without it." and `available` set to false. +- An [`InputError`](crate::input::InputError) in [`Err`] reports that the host's input handling failed. Build it with [`InputError::message`](crate::input::InputError::message) or [`InputError::with_source`](crate::input::InputError::with_source). It raises a [`RunErrorKind::Input`](crate::RunErrorKind::Input) failure at the Lua call site. + +A blocking host may hold the effect until the operator answers, and the rest of the run keeps moving meanwhile. The [`input`](crate::input) module page covers the outcomes. + +**Store.** [`Effect::Store`] is one store operation under the chain's access capability. The host sees one for every `store.*` call, whatever backend serves the store. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::Store`], which holds a [`Result`] of a [`StoreOutcome`](crate::vfs::StoreOutcome) or a [`StoreError`](crate::vfs::StoreError). To produce the answer, pass a reference to the effect's [`access`](Effect#variant.Store.field.access) and its [`op`](Effect#variant.Store.field.op) to [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op). Its return value is exactly the variant's payload, so wrap it in [`EffectAnswer::Store`] as it is. + +Use the access capability exactly as given. Never derive, widen, or keep store scope from it. Drop your handle to it when the operation completes and before you answer, so its claims are released before a resumed chain can take overlapping claims. [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op) is synchronous, because the store is synchronous by design, so an async host runs it off its executor, for example with tokio's [`spawn_blocking`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/task/fn.spawn_blocking.html). A store answer that reports a claims conflict ends the run at once with [`RunErrorKind::Determinism`](crate::RunErrorKind::Determinism). + +**Timer.** [`Effect::Timer`] is one sleep of [`seconds`](Effect#variant.Timer.field.seconds). It is the internal timeout behind a timed wait, which an author sets with `opts.timeout` and a model sets with the timeout of its `await_tasks` call. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::Timer`], which carries no data, once that many seconds have passed. The example converts the value with [`Duration::try_from_secs_f64`](std::time::Duration::try_from_secs_f64) and sleeps with [`sleep`](std::thread::sleep). + +A timer resumes no chain. Its firing completes an internal task slot and wakes whatever waits on it. Dropping a timer instead moves its slot to cancelled without waking its owner, so a host drops a live timer only when it is cancelling the run. + +**TaskEvents.** [`Effect::TaskEvents`] is one read of a task's reported history. The run issues it for an author's `tasks.events(task, opts?)` call and for a model's `task_events` built-in. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::TaskEvents`], which holds a [`Vec`] of [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values taken from the host's own log. + +To produce the answer, keep every event in your log whose [`Event::provenance`](crate::event::Event::provenance) has a [`Provenance::task`](crate::ids::Provenance::task) equal to the effect's [`task`](Effect#variant.TaskEvents.field.task). When the effect's [`last`](Effect#variant.TaskEvents.field.last) is [`Some`], keep only events whose [`Provenance::seq`](crate::ids::Provenance::seq) is greater than it. When it is [`None`], keep all of the task's events. Return them in log order. An empty [`Vec`] is a valid answer. + +Commit each step's events to the log before performing that step's effects, so the read sees everything reported before it was issued. The reader receives the events as untrusted, nonce-wrapped JSON lines, or the trusted sentence "no new events" when the answer is empty. + +# Logging effects and answers + +[`Effect`] and [`EffectAnswer`] do not serialize, and they are not [`Clone`]. An effect can hold a live handle such as the store access capability, and an answer can hold values that a log cannot keep whole, such as a completion's bodies or an error's boxed cause. So a logging host projects each one onto a record. + +- [`Effect::record`] returns an [`EffectRecord`], the same request minus its live handles. +- [`EffectAnswer::record`] returns an [`AnswerRecord`], the same outcome with every failure rendered as its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text. + +Both methods borrow, so order matters. Call [`Effect::record`] before the host moves the effect's fields out, because performing an [`Effect::Store`] or an [`Effect::Chat`] consumes them. Call [`EffectAnswer::record`] before handing the answer to [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume), which consumes it. + +Both records derive serde's [`Serialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html) and [`Deserialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Deserialize.html) with no attributes, so they use serde's default externally tagged form. A struct variant becomes an object under its name, such as `{"Timer":{"seconds":0.5}}`. A unit variant becomes its bare name, such as `"Dropped"`. An inner [`Result`] becomes `{"Ok": ...}` or `{"Err": "..."}`. They round-trip through serde, for example as JSON, so a host can store a run log and later compare a re-executed run's records against it. Replay itself is not built yet. The records define what a log stores and what a future replay would compare, and nothing re-executes a log today. + +```` +use promptforge::effect::{ + AnswerRecord, ChatAnswerRecord, Effect, EffectAnswer, EffectRecord, ToolAnswerRecord, +}; +use promptforge::model::{Completion, CompletionResult}; +use promptforge::tools::{ToolError, ToolOutput}; let effect = Effect::Timer { seconds: 0.5 }; -assert_eq!(effect.record(), EffectRecord::Timer { seconds: 0.5 }); -assert_eq!(EffectAnswer::Dropped.record(), AnswerRecord::Dropped); -``` +let record = effect.record(); +assert_eq!(record, EffectRecord::Timer { seconds: 0.5 }); +assert_eq!(serde_json::to_string(&record)?, r#"{"Timer":{"seconds":0.5}}"#); + +let reply = CompletionResult::Text("the reply".to_owned()); +let answer = EffectAnswer::Chat(Ok(Box::new(Completion::from_result(reply, "test-model")))); +assert_eq!( + answer.record(), + AnswerRecord::Chat(Ok(ChatAnswerRecord { + model: "test-model".to_owned(), + finish_reason: None, + reply: Some("the reply".to_owned()), + tool_calls: Vec::new(), + })), +); + +let trusted = EffectAnswer::ToolCall(Ok(ToolOutput::trusted("done"))).record(); +assert_eq!( + trusted, + AnswerRecord::ToolCall(Ok(ToolAnswerRecord { text: "done".to_owned(), trusted: true })), +); +let failed = EffectAnswer::ToolCall(Err(ToolError::message("backend failed"))).record(); +assert_eq!(failed, AnswerRecord::ToolCall(Err("backend failed".to_owned()))); + +let dropped = EffectAnswer::Dropped.record(); +assert_eq!(serde_json::to_string(&dropped)?, r#""Dropped""#); +let stored: AnswerRecord = serde_json::from_str(r#""Dropped""#)?; +assert_eq!(stored, dropped); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +The timer's record keeps the effect's `0.5` seconds, and its JSON is the externally tagged form.

The dropped answer's record reads back from JSON unchanged. + +# Reference + +This part covers every item in the module: the effect handle, the effect and answer enums, and the records a log stores for them. + +## EffectId + +[`EffectId`] is the run-wide handle of one in-flight effect, the key that pairs an issued [`Effect`] with its [`EffectAnswer`]. The host receives it as the first element of each tuple in [`Step::Pending::effects`](crate::Step#variant.Pending.field.effects) and passes the same id back to [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume). It has no public constructor and no serde form, so a host only ever receives one from a run. + +- [`EffectId::get`] takes the id by value and returns its raw [`u64`] handle, so a host can key its own log or task table by it. It cannot fail. + +[`EffectId`] implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display), which writes the same raw number, and it can serve as a [`HashMap`](std::collections::HashMap) key. The id comes from a run-wide counter and means something only within the run that issued it. It need not reproduce across runs, so a log that matches effects across runs uses the effect's [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) instead. + +## Effect + +[`Effect`] is one piece of work the run asks the host to perform. The host receives it from [`Run::step`](crate::Run::step) in [`Step::Pending::effects`](crate::Step#variant.Pending.field.effects), in issue order, paired with its [`EffectId`] and the [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) of the task that built it. The variants and their fields are public, so a value can be built directly, as the records example builds a timer. A host never needs to build one to drive a run. [`Effect`] has no serde form and is not [`Clone`], so a host logs it through [`Effect::record`]. [Answering each kind](#answering-each-kind) says how to answer each variant. + +- [`Effect::Chat`]: one model round over its messages, with its tool schemas advertised, under the binding's frozen options. The host sees it for each round of a section's `models.loop` and for a nested `models.infer`. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::Chat`]. + - [`Effect::Chat::binding`](Effect#variant.Chat.field.binding), a [`ModelBinding`](crate::model::ModelBinding), is the round's binding: its alias, model id, frozen invocation, and context window. Read [`ModelBinding::id`](crate::model::ModelBinding::id), [`ModelBinding::alias`](crate::model::ModelBinding::alias), and [`ModelBinding::invocation`](crate::model::ModelBinding::invocation) when routing the request. The effect's record takes its model name, alias, temperature, token cap, and thinking switch from the binding. + - [`Effect::Chat::messages`](Effect#variant.Chat.field.messages), a [`Vec`] of [`Message`](crate::model::Message), is the projected conversation in wire order. Pass it as the first argument of [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body). A nested `models.infer` carries exactly one message, built with [`Message::user`](crate::model::Message::user) from its prompt. + - [`Effect::Chat::tools`](Effect#variant.Chat.field.tools), a [`Vec`] of [`ToolSchema`](crate::model::ToolSchema), is the set of tool schemas advertised for the round. It is always empty for a nested `models.infer`. Pass it to [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body), which omits the tools field from the body when the slice is empty. + - [`Effect::Chat::options`](Effect#variant.Chat.field.options), a [`CompletionOptions`](crate::model::CompletionOptions), holds the per-request fields, built from the binding with [`ModelBinding::completion_options`](crate::model::ModelBinding::completion_options) when the run issued the effect. They name the model on the wire. Pass them as the third argument of [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body). + - [`Effect::Chat::stream`](Effect#variant.Chat.field.stream), a [`bool`], says whether the host forwards the round's live deltas to its delta consumer. It is `true` for a `models.loop` round and `false` for a nested `models.infer`. It is not recorded, because a delta is not an event and the flag changes nothing in the request body. +- [`Effect::ToolCall`]: one call to a bound tool. The host sees it when a section's script calls a bound tool, or when a model round requests one. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::ToolCall`]. + - [`Effect::ToolCall::tool`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.tool), a [`ToolId`](crate::tools::ToolId), is the tool's stable identity, in `namespace/pack/name` form. The host resolves this field to its implementation. + - [`Effect::ToolCall::alias`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.alias), a [`String`], is the prompt-local name used in the call. It is kept for the record and plays no part in resolving the implementation. + - [`Effect::ToolCall::args`](Effect#variant.ToolCall.field.args), a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html), holds the call's arguments. Pass it to the tool implementation. +- [`Effect::UserInput`]: one wait for operator input on behalf of one section. The host sees one for every `user_input()` call. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::UserInput`]. + - [`Effect::UserInput::execution`](Effect#variant.UserInput.field.execution), a [`String`], is the run's execution identifier, which is the `name` the host passed to [`RunContext::new`](crate::RunContext::new). + - [`Effect::UserInput::section`](Effect#variant.UserInput.field.section), a [`String`], is the name of the section asking for input. +- [`Effect::Store`]: one store operation under the chain's access capability. The host sees one for every `store.*` call. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::Store`]. + - [`Effect::Store::access`](Effect#variant.Store.field.access), an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc) of an [`Access`](crate::vfs::Access), is the chain's access capability. The run mints it from the chain's claims, and it is released when the operation completes. Pass a reference to it to [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op). It is not recorded. + - [`Effect::Store::op`](Effect#variant.Store.field.op), a [`StoreOp`](crate::vfs::StoreOp), is the validated operation: a write, append, read, numbered read, string replace, delete, glob, or existence check. Pass it by value to [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op). +- [`Effect::Timer`]: one sleep, the internal timeout behind a timed wait. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::Timer`]. + - [`Effect::Timer::seconds`](Effect#variant.Timer.field.seconds), an [`f64`], is the sleep duration in seconds. It is non-negative and finite, because the run checks it with [`Duration::try_from_secs_f64`](std::time::Duration::try_from_secs_f64) before issuing the effect. +- [`Effect::TaskEvents`]: one read of a task's reported history. Answer it with [`EffectAnswer::TaskEvents`]. + - [`Effect::TaskEvents::task`](Effect#variant.TaskEvents.field.task), a [`TaskId`](crate::ids::TaskId), is the task whose events are read. Compare it with each logged event's [`Provenance::task`](crate::ids::Provenance::task). + - [`Effect::TaskEvents::last`](Effect#variant.TaskEvents.field.last), an [`Option`] of [`u32`], is the highest sequence number already seen by the reader. [`None`] asks for all of the task's events. [`Some`] asks only for events whose [`Provenance::seq`](crate::ids::Provenance::seq) is greater than the value. + +[`Effect::record`] borrows the effect and returns its [`EffectRecord`]. It cannot fail. The record of an [`Effect::Chat`] flattens the binding to the model name, alias, and frozen invocation, and stores the messages in wire form and the tools by name. The record of an [`Effect::Store`] keeps only the operation. + +## EffectAnswer + +[`EffectAnswer`] is the host's reply to one [`Effect`]: one variant per effect kind, plus [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`] for an effect the host gave up on. The host builds it from the result of performing the effect and passes it to [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume) under the effect's [`EffectId`]. Each variant with a payload wraps the exact result type that its performer returns. [`EffectAnswer`] has no serde form and is not [`Clone`], so a host logs it through [`EffectAnswer::record`]. + +- [`EffectAnswer::Chat`] holds a [`Result`] of a [`Box`] of a [`Completion`](crate::model::Completion) or a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError). It answers an [`Effect::Chat`], including one from a nested `models.infer`. The completion is boxed because it holds both the request and response bodies. +- [`EffectAnswer::ToolCall`] holds a [`Result`] of the tool's own [`ToolOutput`](crate::tools::ToolOutput) or [`ToolError`](crate::tools::ToolError). It answers an [`Effect::ToolCall`], and the run applies its trust rule after it arrives. +- [`EffectAnswer::UserInput`] holds a [`Result`] of an [`InputOutcome`](crate::input::InputOutcome) or an [`InputError`](crate::input::InputError). It answers an [`Effect::UserInput`]. +- [`EffectAnswer::Store`] holds a [`Result`] of a [`StoreOutcome`](crate::vfs::StoreOutcome) or a [`StoreError`](crate::vfs::StoreError), which is exactly the return type of [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op). It answers an [`Effect::Store`]. +- [`EffectAnswer::Timer`] carries no data. It answers an [`Effect::Timer`] once the effect's [`seconds`](Effect#variant.Timer.field.seconds) have passed. +- [`EffectAnswer::TaskEvents`] holds a [`Vec`] of [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values: the task's events after the read's [`last`](Effect#variant.TaskEvents.field.last), in the host's log order. It answers an [`Effect::TaskEvents`]. +- [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`] carries no data. It answers any kind of effect without performing it, as [One answer per effect](#one-answer-per-effect) describes. + +[`EffectAnswer::record`] borrows the answer and returns its [`AnswerRecord`]. It cannot fail. A failure is recorded as its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text. A completion is recorded as a [`ChatAnswerRecord`], because the round's bodies travel as debug events and its metrics travel in the turn's event. A tool output becomes a [`ToolAnswerRecord`], input and store outcomes become an [`InputAnswerRecord`] and a [`StoreAnswerRecord`], and task events are cloned. + +## EffectRecord + +[`EffectRecord`] is an [`Effect`] minus its live handles, which is what a run log stores for the effect. The host gets one from [`Effect::record`], or deserializes one from a stored log. Every variant can also be built directly.

This module holds the [`Event`] enum and all its variants, [`DebugMode`], which turns on raw request and response capture, and [`ReplyOrigin`], which tells a chat reply from an inference result.

They always start with [`Event::ParseStarted`] and end with [`Event::ParseSucceeded`] when the parse returns a [`Prompt`](crate::Prompt), or [`Event::ParseFailed`] when it returns a [`ParseError`](crate::ParseError). In between comes one [`Event::LuaCompilationStarted`] and [`Event::LuaCompilationSucceeded`] pair per Lua block. When a block fails to compile, the parse reports [`Event::LuaCompilationFailed`], fails with [`ParseErrorKind::Lua`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Lua), and ends with [`Event::ParseFailed`]. Parse events never contain Lua source text. +2. **Continue the sequence.** Parse events are stamped under task `0` with sequence numbers from zero. A run's root task also counts from zero by default, so a log that holds both would repeat keys. [`RunContext::provenance_start`](crate::RunContext::provenance_start) takes the number of logged parse events as a [`u32`], and the run's root task continues from there. The example checks that [`Event::RunStarted`] holds exactly that sequence number. +3. **Append every batch.** The loop is the host loop from the crate page, and every batch goes into the same log in order. [`Event::RunStarted`] opens the first step's events. [`Event::RunSucceeded`] or [`Event::RunFailed`] arrives in a later step, at the latest in [`Step::Done`](crate::Step::Done). The run boundaries report under the prompt's H1 title, here `"Notes"`. +4. **Check the keys.** [`Event::provenance`] returns each event's key without a match on its variant. The example collects the keys into a set to show that no key repeats across the parse and the run. +5. **Write JSON lines.** Each event serializes with serde to one line with no newline, and reading the line back gives an equal event. The store write's line starts with `{"kind":"store_write_succeeded"`. + +# Coordinates and provenance + +Every variant starts with the same three fields, its coordinates. [`Event::execution`], [`Event::section`], and [`Event::provenance`] read them from any event, so a host fills a log record's columns the same way for every kind. + +- **Execution** is the caller-chosen run identifier: the name given to [`RunContext::new`](crate::RunContext::new) for run events, and the `execution` argument of [`Prompt::parse`](crate::Prompt::parse) for parse events. +- **Section** is the reporting scope. For most events it is the H2 heading text of the section that reported it, or an agent's name. Parse events use `"Prompt"`, and [`Event::RunStarted`], [`Event::RunSucceeded`], and [`Event::RunFailed`] use the prompt's H1 title, the value of [`Prompt::title`](crate::Prompt::title). It is prompt-authored text. +- **Provenance** is the replay key, a [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance). Its [`Provenance::task`](crate::ids::Provenance::task) is the nearest enclosing task, a [`TaskId`](crate::ids::TaskId), and its [`Provenance::seq`](crate::ids::Provenance::seq) is the event's position within that task, a [`u32`]. -# Sensitivity +The main walk and the parse are task `0`. A `call` child reports under its caller's task, and a spawned chain gets its own task. Each task's sequence counts from zero by default and is dense. An issued effect's provenance draws from the same per-task counter as that task's events, so the events and effects of one task share one dense sequence, and a host can interleave them in one ordered log. -Lifecycle events hold only their coordinates, and those are author-controlled: the execution name is the host's, and the section is prompt-authored heading text. The exception is a degraded model-metadata report, whose message may quote values from a backend's response. Content events hold model-, tool-, or user-authored text, task events hold the author's spawn seeds, and debug events hold verbatim request and response bodies. A host that persists or forwards events treats all of it as untrusted. +[`RunContext::provenance_start`](crate::RunContext::provenance_start) seeds only the root task. Spawned tasks still count from zero, and their keys stay unique because their task ids differ. -# Serialized form +# Events as JSON lines -One event serializes to one JSON object tagged by `kind` (the variant name in snake case), with the three coordinates and then the payload fields beside it: +Every variant serializes with serde to a single-line JSON object tagged by a `"kind"` field. The kind is the variant name in snake case, such as `section_started`, `store_write_succeeded`, or `assistant_reply`. The object holds `"kind"` first, then the three coordinates, then the variant's payload fields in declaration order. A [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) serializes as `{"task":"","seq":}`, and a [`TaskId`](crate::ids::TaskId) as its dotted string, such as `"0.2"`. A serialized event never contains a newline, and deserializing the line gives back an equal event. So a host persists events one JSON line each and reads them back with serde. -``` +Here are three lines: a section start on the root task, a store write on the spawned task `0.2`, and a task notice with its payload. + +````json +{"kind":"section_started","execution":"run-1","section":"Gather","provenance":{"task":"0","seq":4}} +{"kind":"store_write_succeeded","execution":"run-1","section":"Gather","provenance":{"task":"0.2","seq":9}} +{"kind":"task_notice","execution":"run-1","section":"Gather","provenance":{"task":"0","seq":10},"turn":3,"task":"0.1","text":"Task id=0.1 (## Worker) completed: done"} +```` + +Every variant's fields are public, so a host can also build an event with struct-literal syntax, for example to write a test fixture or to rebuild events while replaying a log: + +```` use promptforge::event::Event; use promptforge::ids::Provenance; @@ -46,4 +141,352 @@ assert_eq!( ); assert_eq!(event.provenance().seq, 4); # Ok::<(), Box>(()) -``` +```` + +[`Event`] is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` on it keeps a wildcard arm for kinds a later engine adds.

[`Event::ModelMetadataDegraded`], once for each metadata section of the response that was present but malformed, and once when the response named no model. The turn still succeeds, so a host can show it as a backend-quality warning. +3. [`Event::Thinking`], only when the response's reasoning content is present and non-empty. +4. [`Event::ModelTurnTruncated`], when the round produced text and its finish reason is `"length"`. A host flags the reply that follows as cut off by the model's length limit. +5. [`Event::AssistantReply`] when the round's outcome is text, or [`Event::AssistantToolCalls`] when the outcome is tool calls. [`Event::AssistantToolCalls`] is reported only in the chat arm, and it lists the requested calls before any of them run. + +Each dispatched tool call then reports [`Event::ToolCallSucceeded`] or [`Event::ToolCallFailed`], followed by an [`Event::ToolResult`] with the same turn and the call's id. For a model-issued call, the [`Event::ToolResult`] arrives whether the tool succeeded or failed, because a failure's message is nonce-wrapped and delivered to the model as the result. For a script-issued call, it arrives only on success, and a failure propagates to the Lua caller. + +[`Event::ToolResult::trusted`](Event#variant.ToolResult.field.trusted) says whether the dispatch treated the tool as trusted. The host decides that when it answers a tool call with [`ToolOutput::trusted`](crate::tools::ToolOutput::trusted) or [`ToolOutput::untrusted`](crate::tools::ToolOutput::untrusted). Untrusted output is nonce-wrapped before it is recorded, so for an untrusted tool [`Event::ToolResult::content`](Event#variant.ToolResult.field.content) already holds the wrapped text. + +**Chat replies and inference results.** [`Event::AssistantReply::origin`](Event#variant.AssistantReply.field.origin) is a [`ReplyOrigin`] that names the path that produced the reply. [`ReplyOrigin::Chat`] marks a user-facing chat turn, and [`ReplyOrigin::Infer`] marks a programmatic `models.infer` round. A host appends chat replies to the visible conversation and can log inference replies without showing them as chat turns.

A host can use it to show a "waiting for input" indicator. The host answers the effect with an [`EffectAnswer::UserInput`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::UserInput). When the answer resolves to [`InputOutcome::Text`](crate::input::InputOutcome::Text), the run reports [`Event::UserInput`] with the operator's reply, byte-exact. The unavailable fallback, [`InputOutcome::Unavailable`](crate::input::InputOutcome::Unavailable), reports no [`Event::UserInput`]. + +# Following tasks + +A task is a chain started by `tasks.spawn`, by each arm of `fanout`, or by the model's task tool. [`Event::TaskStarted`] reports each one. Its payload names the new task's id, the section where its chain starts, the principal that started it, and the full spawn seeds. Together they are enough to start the same chain again under the same id. [`Event::TaskStarted`] is reported under the spawning section and on the spawner's task sequence, not the new task's. The new task's own events hold the new id in [`Provenance::task`](crate::ids::Provenance::task). Those two facts are enough to rebuild the task tree from a log. + +Every started task gets exactly one terminal event: [`Event::TaskSucceeded`], [`Event::TaskFailed`], [`Event::TaskCancelled`], or [`Event::TaskAbandoned`]. Each terminal event is reported under the task's target section and stamped with the task's own provenance. + +- [`Event::TaskCancelled`] means the owner stopped the task on purpose, for example through `tasks.cancel`. A repeated cancel reports nothing more. A cancelled task backed by a pending request instead of a chain still reports it. +- [`Event::TaskAbandoned`] means the task's owner chain ended while the task was still live. Its reason is an [`AbandonReason`](crate::ids::AbandonReason). +- When the run ends, the engine settles every live task exactly once by abandoning it, before it reports [`Event::RunSucceeded`] or [`Event::RunFailed`]. Still-live tasks get [`AbandonReason::RunTerminated`](crate::ids::AbandonReason::RunTerminated), and nested tasks get [`AbandonReason::OwnerAborted`](crate::ids::AbandonReason::OwnerAborted). So the contract holds even for tasks stranded by a host cancel or a fatal answer. +- The contract covers the tasks that have an [`Event::TaskStarted`]. Internal timer slots are a wait's own bookkeeping and never an author-visible task, and they end without reporting [`Event::TaskCancelled`] or [`Event::TaskAbandoned`]. + +**Task notices.** When a task started by the model ends, the run reports an [`Event::TaskNotice`] under the owner's section. Its text is the engine's own sentence telling the model how the task ended, in one of four shapes: `Task id= (## ) completed: `, `... failed: `, `... was canceled: the author cancelled it`, or `... was abandoned: `. For example, `"Task id=0.1 (## Worker) completed: done"`. A completed task's final text is embedded nonce-wrapped as untrusted, and the rest of the sentence is the engine's. A task started by the author gets no notice. + +# Lifecycle boundaries + +The remaining lifecycle events mark operational boundaries. Apart from [`Event::Lua`] and [`Event::ModelMetadataDegraded`], they hold only their coordinates. + +- **Sections.** [`Event::SectionStarted`] and [`Event::SectionFinished`] mark the start and the successful end of a top-level section, reported under its H2 heading text. There is no section-failed variant. Chains still suspended when the run ends are torn down without an [`Event::SectionFinished`]. +- **The run.** At most one of [`Event::RunSucceeded`] and [`Event::RunFailed`] is reported, because a second decision keeps the first. +- **Section VM phases.** Each section's Lua VM reports four phases. Compilation reports [`Event::LuaCompilationStarted`], [`Event::LuaCompilationSucceeded`], and [`Event::LuaCompilationFailed`]. The shared-program load runs the prompt's `lua shared` library in the section VM and reports [`Event::LuaSharedLoadStarted`], [`Event::LuaSharedLoadSucceeded`], and [`Event::LuaSharedLoadFailed`]. Chunk execution reports [`Event::LuaChunkStarted`], [`Event::LuaChunkSucceeded`], and [`Event::LuaChunkFailed`]. Teardown reports [`Event::LuaTeardownStarted`] and [`Event::LuaTeardownSucceeded`], and there is no teardown-failed variant. +- **Tool scope.** [`Event::ToolScopeValidationStarted`], [`Event::ToolScopeValidationSucceeded`], and [`Event::ToolScopeValidationFailed`] report the check the engine runs when it builds a model round's advertised tool scope. +- **The store.** Every harness-mediated store operation reports a paired succeeded or failed event, for fourteen variants from [`Event::StoreWriteSucceeded`] to [`Event::StoreGlobFailed`]. They hold only the coordinates, so paths, contents, and error details stay out of the log. Together they form a store audit trail. +- **Author checkpoints.** A prompt author's Lua `log(message)` call is reported as [`Event::Lua`], and [`Event::Lua::message`](Event#variant.Lua.field.message) holds the text verbatim. It is the one author-controlled checkpoint in the event stream. The message is checked against a byte quota first, and an oversize message raises a Lua error instead of producing an event. + +Error detail never appears in the lifecycle events. A parse error is in the [`ParseError`](crate::ParseError), a run error is in the [`RunResult`](crate::RunResult) of [`Step::Done`](crate::Step::Done), and store failures have no error detail at all. + +# Debug capture + +By default a run does not put raw model bodies in the event stream. [`RunContext::report_debug`](crate::RunContext::report_debug) with [`DebugMode::On`] turns that on: every model round then reports its raw request body as an [`Event::Request`] and its response body as an [`Event::Response`], both before that round's [`Event::ModelTurnCompleted`]. A context built without that call uses [`DebugMode::Off`], which reports neither event and never clones a body. + +The same bodies already travel in the [`Effect::Chat`](crate::effect::Effect::Chat) and its [`EffectAnswer::Chat`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Chat), so a host that logs effects has them either way.

A host writes a record's task and sequence columns from it alone. + +Every variant's first three fields are its coordinates, with the same meaning in every variant: the execution field is a [`String`], the section field is a [`String`], and the provenance field is a [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance). [Coordinates and provenance](#coordinates-and-provenance) explains what each holds. Each family below says which section and which task its events report under.

[Debug capture](#debug-capture) shows the call. + +- [`DebugMode::Off`]: model rounds report no [`Event::Request`] or [`Event::Response`] and never clone a body. It is the [`Default`], and a context built without [`RunContext::report_debug`](crate::RunContext::report_debug) uses it. Use it when the host already logs the [`Effect::Chat`](crate::effect::Effect::Chat) and its answer, or does not want unredacted prompts in the event stream. +- [`DebugMode::On`]: every model round reports an [`Event::Request`] followed by an [`Event::Response`], both before that round's [`Event::ModelTurnCompleted`]. Use it when a debug capture needs the bodies inside the event log, and treat the resulting events as sensitive. + +[`DebugMode`] has no serde, [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr), or [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) impl, so a host that stores the setting picks its own representation. + +## ReplyOrigin + +[`ReplyOrigin`] says which path produced an [`Event::AssistantReply`]: a user-facing chat turn or a programmatic inference round.

Every effect and event carries a [`Provenance`], which says which task produced it and where it falls in that task's sequence. With it, a host can split a log by task, put each task's items in order, answer a prompt that reads a task's history, and match a replayed run against its record.

The host answers through [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume) under the [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId), which is an in-flight handle local to the run. It logs the effect under the [`Provenance`], which is the stable key for matching a replay against its record. The run ends with [`Step::Done`](crate::Step::Done). Every [`Event`](crate::event::Event) exposes its [`Provenance`] through [`Event::provenance`](crate::event::Event::provenance), so the host fills a record's task and sequence columns without matching on the variant. + +Task events name their task with a [`TaskId`]. [`Event::TaskStarted`](crate::event::Event::TaskStarted) adds a [`TaskOrigin`] in [`origin`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskStarted.field.origin), and [`Event::TaskAbandoned`](crate::event::Event::TaskAbandoned) adds an [`AbandonReason`] in [`reason`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskAbandoned.field.reason). + +The log feeds back into the run through [`Effect::TaskEvents`](crate::effect::Effect::TaskEvents). The run issues it when the author's `tasks.events` or the model's `task_events` built-in reads a task's history. The host answers with [`EffectAnswer::TaskEvents`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::TaskEvents), holding the logged events whose [`Provenance::task`] matches. When the effect names the reader's last sequence number, the host keeps only events whose [`Provenance::seq`] is past it. The [`effect`](crate::effect) page gives the exact filter. + +Parse events and run events share one provenance space. [`Prompt::parse`](crate::Prompt::parse) stamps its events under task `0` with sequence numbers from zero. A host that logs them in the same stream as the run passes their count to [`RunContext::provenance_start`](crate::RunContext::provenance_start), so every key in the log stays unique. # Provenance -A [`Provenance`] is the replay key stamped on every effect and event: the nearest enclosing task and the item's sequence number within it. The main walk reports under task `0`, and a `call` child reports under its parent's task, which is unambiguous because a call blocks its parent. The sequence counter is local to the task and shared by its effects and its events, so the two kinds order against each other within one task. A log slices by task and orders within a task by provenance alone, and a replay matches a re-executed run against its record by it. +A [`Provenance`] has two public fields. [`Provenance::task`] is the [`TaskId`] of the task that produced the item. A task id is written as a dot-separated path of numbers, such as `0` for the main walk and `0.1` for a task it started. [`Provenance::seq`] is a [`u32`], the item's position within that task. The counter is local to the task and shared by its effects and its events, so the two kinds order against each other within one task. -``` +This example keeps a small log keyed by provenance, puts it in order, reads one task's items after a known sequence number, and writes one key as JSON and back: + +```` use promptforge::ids::{Provenance, TaskId}; -let task: TaskId = "0.2".parse()?; -let first = Provenance { task: task.clone(), seq: 0 }; -let second = Provenance { task, seq: 1 }; -assert!(first < second); -assert_eq!(first.task.to_string(), "0.2"); -# Ok::<(), promptforge::ids::ParseIdError>(()) -``` +let main: TaskId = "0".parse()?; +let worker: TaskId = "0.1".parse()?; + +let mut log = vec![ + Provenance { task: worker.clone(), seq: 1 }, + Provenance { task: main.clone(), seq: 4 }, + Provenance { task: worker.clone(), seq: 0 }, +]; +log.sort(); +assert_eq!(log[0], Provenance { task: main, seq: 4 }); +assert_eq!(log[1], Provenance { task: worker.clone(), seq: 0 }); + +let after_first: Vec<&Provenance> = log + .iter() + .filter(|key| key.task == worker && key.seq > 0) + .collect(); +assert_eq!(after_first, [&Provenance { task: worker, seq: 1 }]); + +let line = serde_json::to_string(&log[1])?; +assert_eq!(line, r#"{"task":"0.1","seq":0}"#); +let back: Provenance = serde_json::from_str(&line)?; +assert_eq!(back, log[1]); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +Here is what each part does. + +1. **Parse the task ids.** A [`TaskId`] parses from its path text with [`str::parse`]. The [Id text](#id-text) section gives the exact rules. +2. **Sort.** [`Provenance`] orders by task path first, then by sequence number. The main walk's task `0` sorts before its child `0.1`, and within task `0.1`, sequence `0` comes before `1`. +3. **Filter.** Comparing [`Provenance::task`] and [`Provenance::seq`] is all a host needs to slice a log by task. This is the same filter that answers an [`Effect::TaskEvents`](crate::effect::Effect::TaskEvents). +4. **Persist.** A [`Provenance`] serializes as a JSON object with the key `"task"` holding the path string and the key `"seq"` holding a number, and it reads back to an equal value. + +**Which task an item reports under.** The main walk reports as task `0`. A `call` child reports under its parent's task. That is unambiguous because a `call` blocks its parent, so the two never interleave. A spawned task reports under its own task id. + +**Provenance is stable across runs.** Two runs of the same prompt with the same inputs and answers allocate the same ids and stamp the same provenance on the same items, however their chains interleave, because every counter is local to the chain or task that advances it. The [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId) need not reproduce, so a host matches effects across runs by [`Provenance`]. + +# Chain ids and task ids + +A [`ChainId`] names one chain: the main walk, a `call` child, or a spawned task. The [crate page](crate) defines chains. The engine reports ids as [`TaskId`] values, and a host uses [`ChainId`] to compute or predict ids and to parse them. + +```` +use promptforge::ids::{ChainId, TaskId}; + +let root = ChainId::root(); +assert_eq!(root.to_string(), "0"); + +let research = root.child(2); +let nested = research.child(1); +assert_eq!(nested.to_string(), "0.2.1"); +assert_eq!(TaskId::from(nested.clone()).to_string(), "0.2.1"); + +assert_eq!(root.child(3).entry(7), "0.3.7"); +assert_ne!(root.entry(3), root.child(3).entry(0)); + +let mut owned = vec![root.child(10), root.child(0), root.child(9)]; +owned.sort(); +assert_eq!(owned, [root.child(0), root.child(9), root.child(10)]); +assert!(root < research && research < nested); +```` + +**The root.** [`ChainId::root`] returns the main walk's id, the single component `0`. + +**Children.** [`ChainId::child`] appends one index to a path. A chain keeps one child counter, and `call` children and spawned tasks share it, so if a chain's first two children are a `call` and then a spawned task, they get `0` and `1` under it. Both ids in the example above are built this way: `0.2` is the root's child with index `2`, and `0.2.1` is that chain's child with index `1`. + +**Task ids.** A task's id is the same path as the id of the chain that runs it. [`TaskId`] implements [`From`] of [`ChainId`], so `TaskId::from(chain)` converts a chain id into a task id to key a task table. The conversion wraps the path unchanged. The separate type keeps a task-keyed table from accepting an arbitrary chain id by accident. The conversion goes one way only. A [`TaskId`] has no accessor back to its [`ChainId`]. + +**Section entry ids.** Each time a chain enters a section, the entry gets an id, which the section's Lua reads as `sys.id`. [`ChainId::entry`] computes it by extending the chain's path with the chain's local entry index. It returns a [`String`], not a [`ChainId`], because a section entry is not a chain. The text has the same shape as a chain path and would parse as one, but it names an entry. A parent's entry id and its child chain's entry id never collide, because the paths differ in length. + +**Ordering.** Ids sort as paths. A chain sorts before its descendants, and siblings sort by child index as numbers, so `0.9` comes before `0.10`. The tasks owned by one chain are its direct children, so sorting their ids recovers their spawn order. Sort the ids themselves, not their text, because text sorting puts `0.10` before `0.9`. + +# Id text + +A [`ChainId`] and a [`TaskId`] render with [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) as their decimal components joined by `.`, with no prefix, suffix, or padding: `0`, `0.2`, `0.2.0`, `0.2.1`. A [`TaskId`] renders exactly as its chain id does. Both implement [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr) with [`ParseIdError`] as the error, so they parse back from that text with [`str::parse`], and a rendered id parses back to an equal value. + +Parsing accepts text that follows these rules: + +- The text holds one or more components separated by `.`. The empty string is rejected. +- Each component is non-empty and made only of the ASCII digits `0` to `9`. A `-` or `+` sign, or whitespace, is rejected. +- Each component fits in a [`u32`]. So `99999999999` is rejected. +- The first component need not be `0`. A path such as `7.1` parses. +- Leading zeros are accepted and dropped on render. `0.007` parses equal to `0.7` and renders back as `0.7`. + +Malformed text fails with a [`ParseIdError`]. [`ParseIdError::input`] returns the exact rejected text, and the [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) message is ``invalid chain id `{input}`: required a dot-separated path of decimal components``. The message says "chain id" even when a [`TaskId`] failed to parse. + +```` +use promptforge::ids::{ChainId, ParseIdError, TaskId}; + +let chain: ChainId = "0.12.0".parse()?; +assert_eq!(chain, ChainId::root().child(12).child(0)); +assert_eq!(chain.to_string().parse::()?, chain); + +let task: TaskId = "0.12.0".parse()?; +assert_eq!(task, TaskId::from(chain)); + +let padded: ChainId = "0.007".parse()?; +assert_eq!(padded.to_string(), "0.7"); +assert!("7.1".parse::().is_ok()); + +for bad in ["", ".", "0.", ".0", "0..1", "a", "0.-1", "0.+1", "0. 1", "99999999999"] { + let error: ParseIdError = bad.parse::().err().ok_or("the text is rejected")?; + assert_eq!(error.input(), bad); +} + +let error = "0..1".parse::().err().ok_or("the text is rejected")?; +assert_eq!( + error.to_string(), + "invalid chain id `0..1`: required a dot-separated path of decimal components", +); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +# Task origins and abandon reasons + +A [`TaskOrigin`] says who started a task. [`TaskOrigin::Author`] means the prompt's author started it with `tasks.spawn`. [`TaskOrigin::Model`] means the model started it with its `task` tool. The host reads it from the [`origin`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskStarted.field.origin) field of [`Event::TaskStarted`](crate::event::Event::TaskStarted). + +What happens to a task still running when its owner chain ends depends on its origin. An author task still live when its owner ends normally is the author's bug, and it fails the owner's chain.

The host reads it from the [`reason`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskAbandoned.field.reason) field of [`Event::TaskAbandoned`](crate::event::Event::TaskAbandoned). Abandoned is kept apart from cancelled, reported as [`Event::TaskCancelled`](crate::event::Event::TaskCancelled), because "lost its owner" and "was stopped on purpose" are different facts for the log, the UI, and the model notice.

Every method here is infallible and `#[must_use]`. + +## ChainId + +[`ChainId`] is the hierarchical id of one chain, a path of child indices from the root chain. No other facade item carries one, because the engine reports tasks as [`TaskId`] everywhere. A host uses it to compute or predict ids and to parse them. + +The host gets one from [`ChainId::root`] and [`ChainId::child`], by parsing path text with [`str::parse`], or by deserializing it. It has no [`Default`], and its inner path is private. + +- [`ChainId::root`] takes no arguments and returns the main walk's id, which renders as `"0"`. +- [`ChainId::child`] takes `&self` and `index`, a [`u32`], and returns a new [`ChainId`] with `index` appended. `self` is unchanged. The `index` is the child's zero-based position in this chain's child counter, which `call` children and spawned tasks share. Any [`u32`] is valid. For example, `ChainId::root().child(2)` is `0.2`. +- [`ChainId::entry`] takes `&self` and `index`, a [`u32`], and returns a [`String`] holding this path with `.{index}` appended. The `index` is the zero-based position of a section entry in this chain's entry counter. The result is the section entry's `sys.id` value in Lua. For example, `ChainId::root().child(3).entry(7)` is `"0.3.7"`. [Chain ids and task ids](#chain-ids-and-task-ids) explains why it returns text. + +Trait impls: + +- [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) and [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr) use the path text described in [Id text](#id-text). The parse error is [`ParseIdError`]. +- serde uses the same path text as a string, for example JSON `"0.2"`. +- [`Ord`] compares the component lists in order: a chain before its descendants, siblings by child index. + +## TaskId + +[`TaskId`] is the id of one task, the same path as the id of the chain that runs it. It keys task tables, and its separate type keeps an arbitrary [`ChainId`] out of them. + +The host receives one on task events, on effects, and in every [`Provenance`]. It can also build one from a [`ChainId`] through [`From`], parse path text such as `"0.2"` with [`str::parse`], or deserialize one. It has no [`Default`], and there is no accessor back to its [`ChainId`]. + +A [`TaskId`] appears in these places: + +- the task events [`Event::TaskStarted`](crate::event::Event::TaskStarted), [`Event::TaskSucceeded`](crate::event::Event::TaskSucceeded), [`Event::TaskFailed`](crate::event::Event::TaskFailed), [`Event::TaskCancelled`](crate::event::Event::TaskCancelled), [`Event::TaskAbandoned`](crate::event::Event::TaskAbandoned), [`Event::TaskNote`](crate::event::Event::TaskNote), [`Event::TaskNotice`](crate::event::Event::TaskNotice), and [`Event::TaskResumed`](crate::event::Event::TaskResumed) +- [`Effect::TaskEvents`](crate::effect::Effect::TaskEvents) and [`EffectRecord::TaskEvents`](crate::effect::EffectRecord::TaskEvents) +- [`Provenance::task`] + +Two of those events are not currently emitted. [`Event::TaskNote`](crate::event::Event::TaskNote) is declared, but the `tasks.note` handler stores the note on the chain without reporting the event. [`Event::TaskResumed`](crate::event::Event::TaskResumed) is reserved, and nothing emits it until resume lands. A host should accept both when it reads a log, but the current engine never sends them. + +Trait impls: + +- [`From`] of [`ChainId`] wraps the chain id unchanged. +- [`Display`](std::fmt::Display), [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr), and serde are identical to [`ChainId`]'s, so task `0.2` renders as `0.2` and serializes as JSON `"0.2"`. The main walk is task `0`. +- [`Ord`] orders as the chain id does, as described under [Chain ids and task ids](#chain-ids-and-task-ids). + +## ParseIdError + +[`ParseIdError`] is the error returned when text fails to parse as a [`ChainId`] or [`TaskId`]. The host receives it from [`str::parse`] and never builds one. [Id text](#id-text) lists what is rejected. + +- [`ParseIdError::input`] takes `&self` and returns the exact rejected text as a [`&str`](str), for example `"0..1"`. Use it to report which value was bad. + +It implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) with the message ``invalid chain id `{input}`: required a dot-separated path of decimal components``, the same for both id types. It implements [`std::error::Error`] with no [`source`](std::error::Error::source). It has no serde and no [`Default`], and its `input` field is private. + +## Provenance + +[`Provenance`] is the replay key stamped on every effect and event: the nearest enclosing task plus the item's position within that task. The host receives it from [`Event::provenance`](crate::event::Event::provenance) and as the middle element of each tuple in [`Step::Pending::effects`](crate::Step#variant.Pending.field.effects). It can also build one with a struct literal, because both fields are public, or deserialize one. It has no [`Default`]. + +- [`Provenance::task`], a [`TaskId`], is the task whose chain produced the item. The main walk is task `0`, and a `call` child reports under its parent's task. +- [`Provenance::seq`], a [`u32`], is the item's position among the task's effects and events. The counter is local to the task and shared by both kinds. Parse events start at `0` under task `0`, and [`RunContext::provenance_start`](crate::RunContext::provenance_start) moves the run's root counter past them. + +Trait impls: + +- serde gives a JSON object with its keys in declaration order, `"task"` as the path string, then `"seq"` as a number: `{"task":"0.2","seq":7}`. +- [`Ord`] compares [`Provenance::task`] first, then [`Provenance::seq`]. So task `0.2` at sequence `7` sorts before task `0.3` at sequence `0`. + +## TaskOrigin + +[`TaskOrigin`] is the principal that started a task. The host receives it in [`Event::TaskStarted::origin`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskStarted.field.origin). It can also name a variant, convert a tag with [`TaskOrigin::from_tag`], or deserialize one. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no [`Default`]. + +- [`TaskOrigin::Author`]: the prompt's author started the task with `tasks.spawn`, or with `fanout` over it. If the task is still live when its owner ends normally, the owner's chain fails with the `tasks_live` error. Treat that failure as a defect in the prompt. +- [`TaskOrigin::Model`]: the model started the task with its `task` tool. If the task outlives its owner, it is abandoned and reported with an [`AbandonReason`], and the owner's chain does not fail. +- [`TaskOrigin::tag`] takes `self` and returns the tag as a [`&'static str`](str): `"author"` for [`TaskOrigin::Author`] and `"model"` for [`TaskOrigin::Model`]. The Lua shims and the `tasks.pending` filter use these strings. +- [`TaskOrigin::from_tag`] takes `tag`, a [`&str`](str) such as one read from a filter or a config file, and returns an [`Option`] of [`TaskOrigin`]. It returns [`Some`] for exactly `"author"` or `"model"`, and [`None`] for anything else. Matching is case-sensitive, so `"Author"` gives [`None`]. + +It serializes as a lowercase string, the same text as [`TaskOrigin::tag`]. It has no [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) and no [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr). + +## AbandonReason + +[`AbandonReason`] says how a task's owner ended while the task was still live. The host receives it in [`Event::TaskAbandoned::reason`](crate::event::Event#variant.TaskAbandoned.field.reason) and never builds one, though it can deserialize one. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no [`Default`]. In every case the host logs the event, and it can show [`AbandonReason::why`] to a person. + +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerReturned`]: the owner ended normally, with a scalar return or an exhausted walk, without waiting on or cancelling the task. For an author task this case is the `tasks_live` error, and a model task is abandoned quietly. It serializes as `"owner_returned"`. +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerFailed`]: the owner chain failed while the task was live. It serializes as `"owner_failed"`. +- [`AbandonReason::ToolLoopExhausted`]: the owner's model and tool loop ran past its round cap. It is a failure kept apart from [`AbandonReason::OwnerFailed`] because the model notice must say that the model's own task outlived the loop that started it. It serializes as `"tool_loop_exhausted"`. +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerAborted`]: the owner was aborted from outside, by a fatal sibling's fail-fast or by its own owner ending first. It serializes as `"owner_aborted"`. +- [`AbandonReason::RunTerminated`]: the run itself ended while the task was live, because the host cancelled it or supplied a fatal answer. It serializes as `"run_terminated"`. + +[`AbandonReason::why`] takes `self` and returns a [`&'static str`](str) phrase for a trace line or notice: + +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerReturned`] gives `"the section ended"`. +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerFailed`] gives `"the owner failed"`. +- [`AbandonReason::ToolLoopExhausted`] gives `"the tool loop was exhausted"`. +- [`AbandonReason::OwnerAborted`] gives `"the owner was aborted"`. +- [`AbandonReason::RunTerminated`] gives `"the run ended"`. -# Task origins and ends +The engine's model-facing notice uses the same phrase, as `Task id={task} (## {target}) was abandoned: {why}`. [`AbandonReason`] has no [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) and no [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr). -A [`TaskOrigin`] names the principal that started a task: the prompt's author through `tasks.spawn`, or the model through its `task` tool. The two end differently when their owner ends first: an author task that outlives its owner is the author's bug and fails the chain, while a model task is abandoned and reported. An [`AbandonReason`] says which kind of owner end it was, so the log and the model notice can say more than "abandoned". diff --git a/crates/promptforge/src/input.md b/crates/promptforge/src/input.md index 14dd822c..516e668d 100644 --- a/crates/promptforge/src/input.md +++ b/crates/promptforge/src/input.md @@ -1,15 +1,372 @@ -What a user-input wait is answered with. +Answers to a user-input wait: the operator's text, a report that the host has no input, or a failure of the host's input source. -# The wait +A prompt section can pause and ask a person for text by calling `user_input()`.

Use it when the host has no operator or no input source for the wait. [Answering without an operator](#answering-without-an-operator) shows what the prompt receives. + +[`InputOutcome`] is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` on it outside this crate needs a wildcard arm. A future variant, such as a deferred wait, can then arrive without breaking the host. [`InputOutcome`] has no serde form.

That differs from [`InputOutcome::Unavailable`], which says the host has nothing to give. The host builds one with a constructor and answers with it in [`Err`] inside an [`EffectAnswer::UserInput`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::UserInput). The struct is `#[non_exhaustive]` with private fields, so its two constructors are the only way to build one. Both are `#[must_use]` and cannot fail. + +[`InputError::message`] takes one argument. + +- `text`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], such as a [`&str`](str) or a [`String`], is the failure message.

No length or content rule is enforced. + +It returns an error with that message and no cause, so its [`source`](std::error::Error::source) returns [`None`]. + +[`InputError::with_source`] takes two arguments. + +- `text`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the message shown at the Lua call site, under the same rules as for [`InputError::message`]. +- `source`, any type that implements [`std::error::Error`], [`Send`], and [`Sync`] and is `'static`, such as a [`std::io::Error`], is the underlying cause.

This crate runs them as a sans-I/O state machine. A run never opens a socket, touches a file, reads the clock, or starts a thread. It hands your program each piece of outside work as an *effect*, and it reports what happened as *events*. Your program performs the work however it likes, hands back the answers, and logs the events.

It returns a pair. The first half is a [`Result`] that holds either the [`Prompt`] or a [`ParseError`]. The second half is a [`Vec`] of the parse-time [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values, which come back whether the parse succeeds or fails. -- [`effect`]: the [`Effect`](effect::Effect) a run asks for, the [`EffectAnswer`](effect::EffectAnswer) a host returns, and the records a log stores for both. -- [`model`]: what a model round exchanges - [`Message`](model::Message), [`ToolSchema`](model::ToolSchema), [`Completion`](model::Completion) - and the catalog and bindings a run resolves models through. -- [`transport`]: the sans-I/O codec a host performs a model round with. -- [`tools`]: the [`ToolDescriptor`](tools::ToolDescriptor)s a run binds against, the [`ToolId`](tools::ToolId) a tool call names, and the [`ToolOutput`](tools::ToolOutput) or [`ToolError`](tools::ToolError) it is answered with. -- [`input`]: what a user-input wait is answered with. -- [`vfs`]: the virtual filesystem a run's store lives in, how a host mounts it, and how a host performs a store effect. +**Running.** A [`Run`] is a state machine that your program drives. You call [`Run::step`], perform each effect in the step, answer each effect through [`Run::resume`], and step again until the step is [`Step::Done`]. Each effect arrives inside [`Step::Pending`] as a tuple of an [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId), a [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance), and an [`Effect`](crate::effect::Effect). You hand the answer back under that same [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId). The run performs no I/O itself, so every model call, tool call, store operation, user-input wait, and timer reaches you as an effect. -## Recording a run +**Reporting.** Every event from a run arrives in the [`Step::Pending::events`](Step#variant.Pending.field.events) or [`Step::Done::events`](Step#variant.Done.field.events) vector of a step. You append them to your log in order. [`Step::Done`] holds the last events, and the run's own end boundary is among them. Events are for your log. The run only sees your log when an effect asks for part of it. -- [`event`]: the [`Event`](event::Event) values a run reports. -- [`ids`]: the identities of a run's chains and tasks, and the [`Provenance`](ids::Provenance) replay key on every effect and event. -- [`metrics`]: the model-call metrics a reply event holds. -- [`replay`]: the behavior [`Flags`](replay::Flags) a run records. +The crate is a facade. The root holds the run-facing types on this page, and fourteen topical modules hold the rest, each with its own page. Everything happens through calls from your program. There is nothing to configure outside it, and it needs no async runtime. -## Naming +# PromptForge prompts in brief -- [`capabilities`]: capability identities and the global naming grammar that capability and tool ids share. +A host developer rarely writes prompts, but it helps to know what the run is walking. This is the smallest complete working prompt: -# The host loop +````markdown +--- +name: greeter +description: says hi +promptforge: 0 +--- + +# Greeter + +## Say hi + +Say hello. +```` + +**Frontmatter.** A prompt file opens with a `---` line, then YAML, then a second `---` line. Every prompt sets `name:` and `description:`, and a runnable prompt also sets `promptforge:`, the format version. This build supports major version 0, so an author writes `promptforge: 0`. The parser rejects unknown keys. Four optional keys declare the prompt's contract with the host: `capabilities:`, `tools:`, `models:`, and `args:`. The host satisfies them before the run starts. + +**The H1 and sections.** After the frontmatter comes exactly one non-empty level-1 heading, the prompt's title. Level-2 headings divide the body into named sections. Sections nest one level at a time, down to H6, and sibling names must be unique. An H4 directly under an H2 is rejected as an orphan. + +**Prose blocks and Lua blocks.** A section body alternates between prose blocks and Lua fences. Only two fence forms are valid, tagged `lua` and `lua shared`. Prose on its own never calls a model. Prose written before a Lua block builds up in a pending buffer, and the next Lua block reads it as the read-only `prose` global. Nothing reaches a model until Lua sends it, for example with `models.infer(prose)`. Prose that no Lua block reads is commentary, and prose after a section's last Lua block is discarded. That is why the greeter prompt above never calls a model. + +**The store.** Sections keep bulk state in the run-scoped `store`, a set of virtual files addressed by string paths and shared by every section of the run. Lua uses calls such as `store.write(path, text)` and `store.read(path)`. Each store operation reaches the host as an effect. + +**`jump` and `call`.** `jump(heading)` transfers control to another section outright. `call(heading, input?)` runs another section as a subroutine and returns its return value. Both name the target with a heading reference such as `'## Help'`. + +**Fanout.** `fanout(worker, collection)` runs a worker section once per member of a collection, concurrently. The collection is usually a list section read with `list_from_section`. + +**Tools and models.** Tools come from capabilities. A prompt lists capability ids such as `promptforge/web` under `capabilities:`, and binds prompt-local aliases to exact tool paths such as `promptforge/web/fetch` under `tools:`. A prompt never names a concrete model. It declares roles under `models:` with keywords such as `thinking` or `fast`, and the host binds each role before the run. -A [`Run`] is a deterministic state machine over one prompt. The host calls [`step`](Run::step), which drains every chain that can make progress and returns [`Step::Pending`] with the leaf effects those chains issued, each stamped with the [`Provenance`](ids::Provenance) of the task that built it, beside the events the step reported. The host performs the effects however it likes and hands each answer back through [`resume`](Run::resume), one call per arriving answer, then steps again. `step`, `resume`, and [`cancel`](Run::cancel) are infallible by design: a run's failures are values in [`RunResult::Failure`], so the host owns the loop and the retry policy without catching a panic. +This is orientation only. The full prompt language is in the separate language guide. -[`Step::Done`] is withheld while any issued effect is unanswered, so a host that has answered every effect it was handed - a drop counts - can rely on the run's end being the end of every effect too. An effect a chain stopped waiting for (its task was cancelled or abandoned) still wants its one answer; the run discards it on arrival. After a `Pending` step, [`Run::decided`] tells the host the outcome is settled and anything still out may be dropped, so control never depends on reading the events. +# Terms -A prompt whose section writes and reads its store issues two [`Store`](effect::Effect::Store) effects, which the host performs with [`perform_store_op`](vfs::perform_store_op): +The rest of the page uses four words freely. -``` +- **Section**: a named heading in the prompt body. Each section runs in its own Lua state. +- **Chain**: one line of execution through the prompt. The main walk of a run is the root chain, whose id is `0`, and [`ChainId::root`](crate::ids::ChainId::root) renders as `"0"`. A `call` child or a spawned task gets a chain id that extends its parent's with a local child index, for example `0.2.1`. +- **Effect**: a piece of work for the host to perform, requested by the run. It arrives as an [`Effect`](crate::effect::Effect) paired with two ids. The [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId) is an opaque run-wide handle that you pass back to [`Run::resume`]. The [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) identifies the task that built the effect. +- **Event**: a value reported by the run for the host to log, in order. Every event holds a [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance). A host can fill a log record's columns from any event without matching on its variant: [`Event::execution`](crate::event::Event::execution) and [`Event::section`](crate::event::Event::section) name where it happened, and [`Event::provenance`](crate::event::Event::provenance) alone supplies the task id and sequence number. + +# A first run + +This program parses a one-section prompt, runs it with the argument `"world"`, performs the section's two store effects, and reads the result. + +```` use std::sync::Arc; use promptforge::effect::{Effect, EffectAnswer}; @@ -47,10 +71,29 @@ use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; use promptforge::vfs::perform_store_op; use promptforge::{Prompt, Run, RunContext, RunResult, Step}; -let source = "---\nname: notes\ndescription: keeps a note\npromptforge: 0\n---\n\n# Notes\n\n## Save\n\n```lua\nstore.write('todo.md', 'ship it')\nreturn store.read('todo.md')\n```\n"; -let (prompt, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "host-loop"); -let ctx = RunContext::new("host-loop", 7, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH); -let mut run = Run::new(Arc::new(prompt?), "", ctx); +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: greeter\n", + "description: says hi\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Greeter\n", + "\n", + "## Say hi\n", + "\n", + "```lua\n", + "store.write('greeting.md', 'hello ' .. argv.prose)\n", + "return store.read('greeting.md')\n", + "```\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "greeter"); +let prompt = Arc::new(parsed?); + +let started_at = Timestamp::from_unix_millis(951_782_400_000); +let ctx = RunContext::new("greeter", 7, started_at); +let mut run = Run::new(Arc::clone(&prompt), "world", ctx); + let mut log = Vec::new(); let result = loop { match run.step() { @@ -59,7 +102,6 @@ let result = loop { for (id, _provenance, effect) in effects { let answer = match effect { Effect::Store { access, op } => EffectAnswer::Store(perform_store_op(&access, op)), - // This prompt issues nothing else; a real host performs every kind. _ => EffectAnswer::Dropped, }; run.resume(id, answer); @@ -71,30 +113,534 @@ let result = loop { } } }; -let RunResult::Ok(text) = result else { - panic!("the store round trip succeeds: {result:?}"); -}; -assert_eq!(text, "ship it"); + +match result { + RunResult::Ok(text) => assert_eq!(text, "hello world"), + other => panic!("the run should succeed: {other:?}"), +} assert!(!log.is_empty()); # Ok::<(), Box>(()) -``` +```` + +Here is what each part does. + +1. **Build the source.** The prompt declares `promptforge: 0`. [`Prompt::parse`] accepts a prompt without it, but the run then ends on its first step with a failure. The section has one Lua block, which writes a store file and returns its contents. The example builds the source with [`concat!`] so each prompt line stays readable. +2. **Parse once.** [`Prompt::parse`] takes the source and an execution label for the parse events. The example ignores the events here. A parsed [`Prompt`] goes into an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc), because [`Run::new`] takes an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc) of a [`Prompt`]. One parse can back many runs, each with its own clone of the [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc). +3. **Build the context.** [`RunContext::new`] takes the run's name, a seed, and a start instant, all supplied by the host. The engine reads neither the OS clock nor the OS random number generator, so neither value has a default. A real host draws the seed from its own CSPRNG and stamps the start instant from its own clock. The start instant is a [`Timestamp`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp), here built with [`Timestamp::from_unix_millis`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp::from_unix_millis). +4. **Create the run.** [`Run::new`] takes the prompt, the argument string, and the context. It consumes the context, and [`RunContext`] is not [`Clone`], so each run needs its own. The argument string is one string, passed as is. The prompt reads it raw as `args` and parsed as `argv`. This prompt has no `args:` declaration, so `argv.prose` holds the whole string. The engine never validates the argument string. Pass `""` for no arguments. +5. **Drive the loop.** Each [`Run::step`] returns a [`Step`]. On [`Step::Pending`] the host logs the events, performs each effect, and answers it through [`Run::resume`]. This prompt issues only store effects, which the host performs with [`perform_store_op`](crate::vfs::perform_store_op). The catch-all arm gives up on any other effect with [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped). +6. **Read the result.** [`Step::Done`] holds the run's [`RunResult`]. A successful run ends with [`RunResult::Ok`], whose text is the last scalar Lua return, or `"done"` when no section returned one. + +This run is capability-free. Its context came straight from [`RunContext::new`] and never went through [`Environment::prepare`], so the run has no tools and no models. That is fine for a prompt that never calls a model. A section that sends prose to a model with no model bound fails the run with [`RunErrorKind::Binding`]. The [Reference](#reference) section shows how to prepare a context with tools and models. + +# The host loop + +Every host drives a run with the same cycle. + +1. Call [`Run::step`]. +2. On [`Step::Pending`], commit the step's events to your log before performing any of its effects. A task that reads its own history then sees everything reported before the read. +3. Perform each effect on any executor or on the calling thread. Call [`Run::resume`] once per answer as each answer arrives, in any order. +4. Go back to step 1. On [`Step::Done`], log the events, read the [`Step::Done::result`](Step#variant.Done.field.result), and stop. + +**Exactly one answer per effect.** Every issued effect receives exactly one answer, and [`Step::Done`] is withheld while any issued effect is unanswered. So the end of a run is also the end of every effect. An empty [`Step::Pending::effects`](Step#variant.Pending.field.effects) list means there is nothing new to perform, because every chain is waiting on an effect already issued. Answer what is still out, then step. The run catches answer bugs instead of panicking. An answer of the wrong kind, an answer for an id that the run never issued, or a second answer for one effect ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Internal`]. The messages say "an effect's answer must be of the effect's own kind" and "an answer arrived for an effect the run did not issue or already answered". Calling [`Run::step`] again after [`Step::Done`] is also a host error, reported the same way. After [`Step::Done`], every answer is ignored. + +**Giving up on an effect.** [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped) answers an effect without performing it. If a chain still waits on that effect, it resumes with a cancelled error. A drop counts as that effect's one answer. Dropping a `user_input()` wait ends the run as [`RunResult::Cancelled`]. + +**Cancelling.** [`Run::cancel`] sets the run's cancel flag. Running Lua stops from its instruction hook, even inside an endless loop, and the next [`Run::step`] tears every chain down. Cancelling doesn't end the run on the spot. That next step is [`Step::Pending`] with no new effects and the run's end boundary in its events. The host answers each effect still out with [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped) and steps again, and that step is [`Step::Done`] with [`RunResult::Cancelled`]. A host that already performed an effect before it learned of the cancel may deliver the real answer instead. The run discards it and counts it as that effect's one answer. To cancel from another thread, take a [`CancelHandle`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle) from [`Run::cancel_handle`] and call [`CancelHandle::cancel`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle::cancel) on it. + +**Knowing when to stop.** [`Run::decided`] returns `true` once the outcome is settled, even while [`Step::Done`] still waits on outstanding answers. It is `false` for a fresh run and for a run waiting on an answer it still needs. Read it after each [`Step::Pending`]. Once it is `true`, stop performing effects and answer each held effect with [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped). Base this decision on [`Run::decided`], not on watching the events for an end event. + +This example cancels a run while its store effect is still out: + +```` +use std::sync::Arc; + +use promptforge::effect::EffectAnswer; +use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; +use promptforge::{Prompt, Run, RunContext, RunResult, Step}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: notes\n", + "description: keeps a note\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Notes\n", + "\n", + "## Save\n", + "\n", + "```lua\n", + "store.write('todo.md', 'ship it')\n", + "return 'saved'\n", + "```\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "notes"); +let ctx = RunContext::new("notes", 7, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH); +let mut run = Run::new(Arc::new(parsed?), "", ctx); + +let Step::Pending { effects, .. } = run.step() else { + panic!("the section waits on its store write"); +}; +let (held, _provenance, _effect) = effects.into_iter().next().ok_or("one effect")?; +assert!(!run.decided()); + +run.cancel(); +let Step::Pending { effects, .. } = run.step() else { + panic!("the held effect still needs its answer"); +}; +assert!(effects.is_empty()); +assert!(run.decided()); + +run.resume(held, EffectAnswer::Dropped); +assert!(matches!(run.step(), Step::Done { result: RunResult::Cancelled, .. })); +assert!(run.decided()); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +**Nothing to catch.** [`Run::step`], [`Run::resume`], and [`Run::cancel`] are infallible. A run's failures are values in [`RunResult::Failure`], so the host drives the loop without catching panics or errors from it, and the host owns the retry policy. The engine retries nothing. Startup failures follow the same rule. [`Run::new`] always returns a run, and a prompt that cannot start ends on its first step with [`Step::Done`]. The startup failures are an unsupported `promptforge:` version, which is [`RunErrorKind::Version`], a missing version, which is [`RunErrorKind::Parse`], and a failing store backend, which is [`RunErrorKind::Store`]. # How a run walks a prompt -A run executes the prompt's H1 once, then walks its top-level sections in file order, creating one isolated section VM for each. The VM is fully equipped (host values, store, log, control globals) before the prompt's shared Lua library replays as the section's first chunk, and the section's blocks then run in order in that same VM. Prose never infers: each prose block stashes the pending Markdown, and the next Lua block reads it as its fresh read-only lazy `prose` template. A scalar Lua return ends the chain it fires in. +The first [`Run::step`] starts the walk. The H1 body runs first as the preamble, a live pass with full host access. Then the top-level H2 sections run in file order. The first H2 is the entry point, and control falls through to the next section when one finishes. The preamble is where a prompt sets `models.default` and `tools.always`, and it is the only place where `argv` is writable. `call`, `jump`, `fanout`, and `list_from_section` fail in the preamble with "only available in sections". A failing Lua chunk in the H1 acts as a hard gate. It ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::RequirementsUnmet`], and the Lua error text becomes the notice. + +**One Lua state per section.** Each section runs in its own sandboxed Lua state, created when the section starts and torn down when it ends. The state has only the `string`, `table`, and `math` libraries plus the safe base functions, so one section's Lua cannot leak into the next. `pairs` and `next` visit keys in a fixed sorted order. At most one `lua shared` fence is allowed, in the H1 body. It defines a shared library that runs as every section's first chunk, so its functions and globals are available in every section and every fanout arm. A fatal Lua error ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Lua`], and exhausting a Lua host quota such as log events or instructions ends it with [`RunErrorKind::Quota`]. + +**What section Lua sees.** Besides `args` and `argv`, every section gets the `sys` runtime metadata table, the `log(...)` checkpoint function, and the scratch table `var`, which rolls forward from section to section. `sys.when` is the start instant given to [`RunContext::new`], rendered as RFC 3339 in every section and in the H1 pass. It is not a live clock. When a prompt declares structured `args:`, the argument string is parsed as JSON, so `{"query": "papers", "limit": 5}` arrives as `argv.query` and `argv.limit`. Unparseable input or a JSON `null` makes `argv` nil. -Running off the last section ends the run: the result is the last scalar return, else a generic completion. +**The prose template.** When a Lua block reads `prose`, `{{ }}` placeholders are filled in one pass with values from the run, such as `{{ args }}`, `{{ argv.key }}`, `{{ var.key }}`, and `{{ sys.key }}`. With the argument `Acme Corp`, the prose `hi {{ args }}!` becomes `hi Acme Corp!`. No arithmetic is performed. A failing substitution ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Substitution`]. A `---` line inside a section resets the pending buffer, so text above it never reaches `prose`. The `---` needs a blank line before it, or the line above becomes a heading. -The walk is level-independent and descends only on a jump. Lua `jump(target)` transfers control to a named section; a jump to a child heading starts a child-level walk over the jumper's children under the same rules, and the parent walk resumes after the jumper when that level is exhausted. +**Model rounds.** `models.infer(prompt)` runs one tool-free model round. `models.loop(messages, compactor?)` runs the full model and tool loop over a message list built with `messages.new()`. Each model round and each tool call reaches the host as an effect. -Lua `call()` starts a contained chain at a visible section, in a fresh VM, with recursion capped at 8. The chain runs from its target under every normal walk rule - fall-through, jumps, child chains - and the outer walk never moves while it runs. When the chain ends, because its level is exhausted or a return fires, its final text is the call's return value; a return ends only the chain it fires in. +**Returns.** A scalar `return` from any section's Lua block ends the whole run, and its value becomes the text of [`RunResult::Ok`]. If the first section returns `"first"`, a later `return "unreached"` never runs. A scalar return from the H1 pass skips every section. -Section Lua state never survives a section, but the run's store does: one store handle, set on the [`RunContext`], is shared by every section, so bulk state persists across the transitions that clear a section's context. The [`vfs`] module covers how a host mounts and extracts it. +**Moving control.** A section can move control only within its visible set: its sibling sections at the same level, and its own direct children. A heading reference with zero matches is a not-found error, and one with two matches is an ambiguity error. After a `jump`, the jumping section's remaining blocks never run, and only `var` crosses to the target. A `call` runs its target in a fresh Lua state. The child gets a clone of `var`, and its writes to the clone are discarded. `call('## Research', topic)` replaces `args` for the child chain. Nested `call` and `fanout` are capped at 8 levels. A failed `call` arrives in Lua as an ordinary error that `pcall` can catch. + +**The store survives.** Section Lua state never outlives a section, but the store does. Every section of a run shares one store, so bulk state persists from section to section. The store also supports line-numbered reads, wildcard listing with `store.glob`, and an `untrusted(text)` wrapper that puts store content going back to a model inside a guard envelope. # Determinism -Given the same context and the same sequence of answers, a run produces the same effects, events, and ids. The run takes its randomness and its clock from the host: the seed and the start instant are inputs to [`RunContext::new`], so a host that records both and replays the recorded answers reproduces the run. Every effect and event is keyed by its [`Provenance`](ids::Provenance), which is stable across runs however their chains interleave; the [`EffectId`](effect::EffectId) a host correlates an answer with is an opaque run-wide handle that need not reproduce. +A run is deterministic. The same run inputs with the same answers, replayed in order, produce the same effects and events. The run inputs are the seed and the start instant given to [`RunContext::new`], and the flags given to [`RunContext::flags`]. The run reproduces its nonces, `sys.when`, its effects, and its events. To make a run reproducible, a host records those inputs plus the [`EffectRecord`](crate::effect::EffectRecord) and [`AnswerRecord`](crate::effect::AnswerRecord) of every effect it performs. Replay itself is not built yet. The crate defines what to record, but nothing re-executes a log today. + +**The host supplies all nondeterminism.** A live run draws its seed from a CSPRNG, because a predictable seed is a guessable nonce. The seed feeds the nonce of the untrusted envelope and any future random choice inside the run. The start instant comes from the host's own clock. The two inputs are independent. Changing the start instant leaves the nonce unchanged, and changing the seed leaves `sys.when` unchanged. No behavior flags are defined yet. Every run records [`Flags::EMPTY`](crate::replay::Flags::EMPTY), and the flags are a recorded input reserved for future use. + +**Stable ids.** Two runs of the same prompt with the same inputs allocate the same chain, task, and entry ids however their chains interleave, because every counter is local to the chain that advances it. + +**Provenance and effect ids.** Two runs with the same inputs and answers stamp the same [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) on the same effects and events. That makes [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance) the replay key for matching a re-executed run against its recorded log. The [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId) is an in-flight handle for [`Run::resume`] and need not reproduce across runs, so logs should match effects by [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance). + +**Events never steer.** Recording every event or dropping them all leaves a run's outputs, errors, and ordering unchanged. + +# Concurrency + +A run needs no async runtime. Because the run does no I/O itself, concurrency is whatever the host does with the effects in each step. A host may perform one step's effects in parallel and resume them in any order, on any executor or on the calling thread. + +**Chains interleave at effect boundaries.** A chain runs until it needs an effect answered. Then it parks until [`Run::resume`] delivers the answer and a later [`Run::step`] queues it again. That is how one step can hand out several effects at once. Fanout arms are the usual source, because each arm's model round or tool call is its own effect. + +**Fanout.** A list section is Lua-free and holds only items that start with `- `, `* `, `N. `, or `N) `. Fanout over an empty collection is an error. Inside each arm, the member is the `item` global, and `sys.index` is its 1-based position. Results come back in collection order, each with `.ok`, `.text`, `.item`, and `.exhausted`. At most 8 arms run at once by default, a limit set with [`RunLimits::max_fanout_concurrency`]. Each arm gets a fresh clone of the caller's `var`, while the store is shared. Two arms writing the same store path fail, but `store.append` to one path stays legal. A fatal error in one arm aborts its siblings. An arm whose tool loop ran out of iterations reports `.ok == false` and `.exhausted == true` instead. Within one run, two live execution identities claiming one store path end the run with [`RunErrorKind::Determinism`], which Lua cannot catch. + +**Threads.** [`Run`] is [`Send`], so a run can move to another thread between calls. It is not [`Clone`], and one caller drives it at a time, because [`Run::step`] and [`Run::resume`] take `&mut self`. [`RunContext`], [`RunLimits`], [`Environment`], [`RunResult`], [`RunError`], and [`RunErrorKind`] are all [`Send`], [`Sync`], and `'static`, and so is the [`CancelHandle`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle) from [`Run::cancel_handle`]. The run shares one cancel flag with every section's Lua state and never creates per-task child handles. + +# Reference + +This part covers every item at the crate root. A typical host calls them in this order: + +1. [`Prompt::parse`] the source. +2. [`RunContext::new`] plus its builders. Set [`RunContext::model`] before preparing, and also [`RunContext::vfs`] when the run shares a store with capabilities. +3. [`Environment::prepare`] the context against the prompt. +4. [`Requirements::merge`] the host's own capability-activation report into the report from prepare. +5. [`Requirements::refusal`], and fail the run here if it returns [`Some`]. +6. [`Run::new`], then the host loop. + +Three conventions hold across the root. [`RunContext`], [`RunLimits`], and [`Environment`] have builder methods that take `self` and return the updated value, so calls chain. Error and record enums are `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` on them needs a wildcard arm. Each error type has a matchable kind: [`ParseError::kind`] returns a [`ParseErrorKind`], and [`RunError::kind`] returns a [`RunErrorKind`]. + +## Prompt + +[`Prompt`] is a fully parsed prompt file: its frontmatter, its H1 title, its compiled Lua, and its section tree. The host reads the title and the frontmatter, and a [`Run`] uses the rest. The only way to get one is [`Prompt::parse`]. [`Prompt`] is [`Clone`]. + +[`Prompt::parse`] takes two arguments. + +- `input`, a [`&str`](str), is the prompt file's full source text, passed as read. It must begin with a `---` line. A leading UTF-8 byte order mark is stripped, and both `\n` and `\r\n` line endings work. The frontmatter requires `name:` and `description:` and rejects unknown keys. Besides the four contract keys, it accepts `promptforge:`, `input:`, `output:`, and `max_tool_iterations:`, which must be positive and at most `1000`. The body must hold exactly one H1 with a non-empty title. A prompt with an H1 and no `##` sections parses and runs. +- `execution`, a [`&str`](str), is a label of the host's choosing. The parse stamps it on every parse event, so the parse events can be filed in the same log as the run. Passing the run's name is a common choice, but nothing requires it. + +It returns a pair. The first half is a [`Result`] of a [`Prompt`] or a [`ParseError`]. The second half is a [`Vec`] of [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values, always returned, in order: [`Event::ParseStarted`](crate::event::Event::ParseStarted), the Lua compilation events for each compiled block, then [`Event::ParseSucceeded`](crate::event::Event::ParseSucceeded) or [`Event::ParseFailed`](crate::event::Event::ParseFailed). They are reported under task `0` with sequence numbers from zero, because no run exists yet. A host that logs them ahead of the run in one stream passes their count to [`RunContext::provenance_start`]. [`Prompt::parse`] performs no I/O and does not check `promptforge:`. A missing or unsupported version surfaces when the run starts. + +The other methods read or adjust a parsed prompt. + +- [`Prompt::frontmatter`] returns a reference to the parsed [`Frontmatter`](crate::prompt::Frontmatter), where the host reads the prompt's name, description, declared version, args, tools, capabilities, and model roles. The [`prompt`] module page covers it. +- [`Prompt::title`] returns the H1 title as a [`&str`](str), for example `"Greeter"` for `# Greeter`. It is never empty. +- [`Prompt::strip_h1_prose`] drops every prose block from the H1 and clears the description text, leaving the compiled H1 Lua blocks and the sections untouched. Use it to run a prompt's live H1 Lua without sending any H1 prose to a model. It takes `&mut self`, so call it before wrapping the prompt in an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc), or call it on a clone. + +```` +use promptforge::event::Event; +use promptforge::{ParseErrorKind, Prompt}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: greeter\n", + "description: says hi\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Greeter\n", + "\n", + "## Say hi\n", + "\n", + "Say hello.\n", +); +let (parsed, events) = Prompt::parse(source, "docs"); +let prompt = parsed?; +assert_eq!(prompt.frontmatter().name(), "greeter"); +assert_eq!(prompt.title(), "Greeter"); +assert!(matches!(events.first(), Some(Event::ParseStarted { .. }))); +assert!(matches!(events.last(), Some(Event::ParseSucceeded { .. }))); + +let (failed, events) = Prompt::parse("no frontmatter here", "docs"); +let error = failed.err().ok_or("the parse fails")?; +assert_eq!(error.kind(), ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter); +assert_eq!(error.name(), None); +assert!(matches!(events.last(), Some(Event::ParseFailed { .. }))); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +## ParseError + +[`ParseError`] explains why a prompt failed to parse. [`Prompt::parse`] returns it inside its [`Result`], and hosts never build one. Each accessor below takes no arguments and cannot fail. + +- [`ParseError::kind`] returns the stable [`ParseErrorKind`]. Branch on it instead of matching message text. +- [`ParseError::line`] returns the 1-based file line as an [`Option`] of [`u32`], when known. A frontmatter YAML failure reports the YAML decoder's position converted to a file line. A Lua compile failure returns [`None`] and puts its position in the message. +- [`ParseError::column`] returns the 1-based column as an [`Option`] of [`u32`], when known. +- [`ParseError::span`] returns an [`Option`] of a `(start, end)` pair of [`usize`] byte offsets that mark the offending region in the source, for example a duplicate sibling section. It is always [`None`] for [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`] and [`ParseErrorKind::Lua`]. +- [`ParseError::name`] returns the prompt's frontmatter name as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str). It is [`None`] for [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`], because the name is not known yet, and for [`ParseErrorKind::Lua`]. When it is [`None`], the host uses its own label for the source. + +[`ParseError`] implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) with the underlying diagnostic, such as "prompt requires an H1 title". It implements [`std::error::Error`], and its [`source`](std::error::Error::source) is the underlying cause, such as the YAML decode failure. There is no conversion from [`ParseError`] into [`RunError`], so a host reports parse failures separately from run failures. + +## ParseErrorKind + +[`ParseErrorKind`] is the matchable classification of a [`ParseError`], returned by [`ParseError::kind`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`. In every case the prompt author fixes the file, so the host reports the error with whatever location it has. + +- [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`]: the file does not start with a `---` line, never closes the frontmatter, has invalid YAML, has an unknown key, or lacks `name:` or `description:`. +- [`ParseErrorKind::Structure`]: the H1 is missing, there is more than one H1, or the H1 title is empty. It is also the fallback kind for parser-internal failures. +- [`ParseErrorKind::Fence`]: a Lua fence is misplaced or unclosed. That covers the removed `lua prompt` fence form, which fails with a message naming the two valid forms, a second `lua shared` fence, and a `lua shared` fence outside the H1. +- [`ParseErrorKind::List`]: a list-only section holds a non-list item or an empty item. +- [`ParseErrorKind::Lua`]: the shared library, an H1 block, or a section block is not valid Lua. The message names the section and block and includes the compiler diagnostic. + +## SourceLocation + +[`SourceLocation`] says where a run failed, as a prompt source position or a Rust code position. [`RunError::location`] returns one, and hosts never build one. All four fields are public. + +- [`SourceLocation::path`], a [`String`], is the prompt's frontmatter name when the parse got that far, or the Rust source file for an internal fault. A frontmatter YAML failure happens before the name is known, so its path is the placeholder `""`, which the host replaces with its own label. +- [`SourceLocation::line`], an [`Option`] of [`u32`], is the 1-based line, when known. It is always [`Some`] for internal faults. +- [`SourceLocation::column`], an [`Option`] of [`u32`], is the 1-based column, when known. It is [`None`] for internal faults. +- [`SourceLocation::span`], an [`Option`] of a [`Range`](std::ops::Range) of [`usize`], is the byte span of the offending region in the prompt source. Only structured parse failures have one. + +## RunContext + +[`RunContext`] holds everything one run takes as input: its name, seed, start instant, limits, cancel flag, debug mode, UI snapshot, flags, current model, and filesystem handle. After [`Environment::prepare`], it also holds the run's tool catalog and its tool and model bindings. One context serves one run. It is neither [`Clone`] nor [`Default`], and [`Run::new`] consumes it. + +[`RunContext::new`] takes three arguments. + +- `name`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the run's identity. The run stamps it as the execution label on every event, and effects that name the execution use it too. Any label that helps you find the run in your logs works. +- `seed`, a [`u64`], is the run's source of randomness. The nonce of the untrusted envelope is derived from it. A live host draws it from a CSPRNG, and a replay passes the recorded value. +- `started_at`, a [`Timestamp`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp), is the instant the run began, which section Lua sees as `sys.when`. Build it from your own clock with [`Timestamp::from_unix_millis`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp::from_unix_millis), or use [`Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH) in tests. The value `951_782_400_000` renders as `"2000-02-29T00:00:00Z"`. + +The new context starts with a fresh cancel flag, no UI snapshot, [`DebugMode::Off`](crate::event::DebugMode::Off), [`RunLimits::new`], [`Flags::EMPTY`](crate::replay::Flags::EMPTY), a provenance start of `0`, no current model, an empty tool catalog, empty tool and model bindings, and a filesystem handle with a fresh in-memory store. + +Each builder method takes the context by value plus one argument and returns the updated context. None of them can fail. + +- [`RunContext::report_debug`] takes a [`DebugMode`](crate::event::DebugMode). With [`DebugMode::On`](crate::event::DebugMode::On), each model round's raw request and response bodies are reported as request and response events. [`DebugMode::Off`](crate::event::DebugMode::Off), the default, reports neither. The bodies already travel in the chat effect and its answer, so turn this on only when you want them in the event stream too. +- [`RunContext::cancel`] takes a [`CancelHandle`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle) and replaces the flag that [`RunContext::new`] minted. Pass a handle that the host keeps, such as a new one from [`CancelHandle::new`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle::new) or a child from [`CancelHandle::child`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle::child), so that cancelling the parent reaches this run. Without this call, the context's own flag is still reachable through [`RunContext::cancel_handle`]. +- [`RunContext::limits`] takes the run's [`RunLimits`]. The default is [`RunLimits::new`]. +- [`RunContext::ui`] takes a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html) snapshot of host state, taken at run start. Section Lua reads it through a `ui()` global. With a snapshot set, `models.get` also resolves an undeclared alias as a raw gateway catalog model id, so `models.loop(models.get(ui().selected_model), ...)` works without declaring the model. Without this call there is no `ui()` global and only declared aliases resolve. A change in host state takes effect on the next run. +- [`RunContext::flags`] takes the [`Flags`](crate::replay::Flags) for the run to record. A live run keeps the default [`Flags::EMPTY`](crate::replay::Flags::EMPTY). A replay passes the recorded set, built with [`Flags::from_bits`](crate::replay::Flags::from_bits). +- [`RunContext::provenance_start`] takes a [`u32`] that sets where the root task's provenance sequence starts. The default is `0`, for a run logged on its own. A host that logs the parse events ahead of the run in one stream passes the number of parse events, so every task and sequence pair in the stream is unique. Only the root task's counter moves, and spawned tasks count from zero. +- [`RunContext::model`] takes a [`ModelDescriptor`](crate::model::ModelDescriptor), the host's current model. Set it before [`Environment::prepare`], which binds every declared model role to it and checks each role against it. Without a current model, declared roles stay unbound and selecting one at run time fails. The [`model`] module page shows how to build a descriptor. +- [`RunContext::vfs`] takes a [`VfsRef`](crate::vfs::VfsRef), the run's filesystem handle, whose store mount backs every section's `store` table. Normally this is the handle from [`Environment::run_vfs`], which the host also hands to its capability activation so the capabilities and the run share one store. [`Environment::prepare`] keeps a handle set this way instead of building a new one. If the handle has no store mount, [`Run::new`] adds a fresh in-memory store there. If the mounted store backend fails its probe, the run's first step is [`Step::Done`] with [`RunErrorKind::Store`]. + +The remaining methods read the context back. Each takes `&self`, has no arguments, and cannot fail. + +- [`RunContext::vfs_handle`] returns a reference to the run's [`VfsRef`](crate::vfs::VfsRef). Use it to seed files before the run and to extract output after it. [`Run::new`] consumes the context, so clone the handle first if you need it after the run. +- [`RunContext::current_model`] returns the [`ModelDescriptor`](crate::model::ModelDescriptor) set with [`RunContext::model`] as an [`Option`] of a reference, or [`None`]. +- [`RunContext::cancel_handle`] returns a clone of the context's [`CancelHandle`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle). [`Run::new`] keeps the same flag, so this handle and the one from [`Run::cancel_handle`] are the same flag. A host hands it to its activated capabilities, so one cancel reaches them and the run. +- [`RunContext::model_bindings`] returns a reference to the [`ModelBindings`](crate::model::ModelBindings), which say which model each declared role is bound to. They are empty until the context is prepared with a current model. +- [`RunContext::tools`] returns a reference to the run's [`ToolCatalog`](crate::tools::ToolCatalog), a copy of the environment's catalog after [`Environment::prepare`]. It is empty on a context that was never prepared. +- [`RunContext::tool_bindings`] returns a reference to the [`ToolBindings`](crate::tools::ToolBindings), which say which tool descriptor each declared alias is bound to. They are empty on a context that was never prepared. +- [`RunContext::name`], [`RunContext::seed`], [`RunContext::run_flags`], and [`RunContext::started_at`] return the name as a [`&str`](str), the seed as a [`u64`], the [`Flags`](crate::replay::Flags), and the start [`Timestamp`](crate::timestamp::Timestamp), so the host can record them. +- [`RunContext::depth`] returns the prompt-tool nesting depth as a [`u32`]. It is always `0` today. + +```` +use std::num::NonZeroU32; + +use promptforge::cancel::CancelHandle; +use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; +use promptforge::{RunContext, RunLimits}; + +let eight = NonZeroU32::new(8).ok_or("8 is non-zero")?; +let parent = CancelHandle::new(); +let ctx = RunContext::new("example-run", 7, Timestamp::from_unix_millis(951_782_400_000)) + .limits(RunLimits::new().max_tool_iterations(eight)) + .cancel(parent.child()); +assert_eq!(ctx.name(), "example-run"); +assert_eq!(ctx.seed(), 7); +assert_eq!(ctx.started_at().to_rfc3339(), "2000-02-29T00:00:00Z"); +assert_eq!(ctx.depth(), 0); + +parent.cancel(); +assert!(ctx.cancel_handle().is_cancelled()); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +## Environment + +[`Environment`] describes one deployment: the host roots mounted for every run, a nesting cap, and the catalog of tools available to runs. Build it once and share it across concurrent runs. It is [`Clone`], [`Send`], [`Sync`], and `'static`, and everything that changes per run sits on the [`RunContext`]. It holds tool descriptors only, and the tool implementations stay with the host. + +[`Environment::new`] returns an environment with no host roots, a nesting cap of `3`, and an empty tool catalog. [`Environment::default`] returns the same thing. Three builder methods adjust it. Each takes the environment by value plus one argument, returns the updated environment, and cannot fail. + +- [`Environment::base_vfs`] takes a [`VfsRef`](crate::vfs::VfsRef) of host roots, which every per-run filesystem mounts at `/`. It must hold host roots only, never the store mount. The default is an empty router. The base is shared by every run, so when two concurrent runs write the same host file, the second write fails with [`VfsError::Conflict`](crate::vfs::VfsError::Conflict). +- [`Environment::max_depth`] takes a [`u32`] cap on model-orchestrated prompt-tool nesting. The default is `3`. The cap is inert today. It is stored, but nothing reads it until the sub-run adapter lands, and [`RunContext::depth`] stays `0`. It is a different limit from the enforced cap of 8 on nested `call` and `fanout`. +- [`Environment::tools`] takes the [`ToolCatalog`](crate::tools::ToolCatalog) that runs bind against, assembled from the host's activated capabilities. The [`tools`] module page shows how to build one. The default is an empty catalog, and with it every exact tool slot's capability is reported missing. + +[`Environment::run_vfs`] takes `&self` and returns a fresh per-run [`VfsRef`](crate::vfs::VfsRef): the base at `/` plus a fresh in-memory store. Each call returns a different store. A host that activates capabilities calls it first, hands the result to its activation, and sets it on the context with [`RunContext::vfs`]. + +[`Environment::prepare`] takes `&self` and two arguments, and returns a pair of a [`RunContext`] and a [`Requirements`]. It never fails, because problems are reported in the [`Requirements`]. + +- `prompt`, a reference to a [`Prompt`], is the prompt for the run to execute. Pass the same prompt that later goes to [`Run::new`]. +- `ctx`, a [`RunContext`], is consumed. Build it with [`RunContext::new`], and set [`RunContext::model`] and, when needed, [`RunContext::vfs`] first. Other builders may be called before or after. + +The returned context is enriched. Its filesystem handle is replaced by [`Environment::run_vfs`] unless the host set one. Its tool catalog is a copy of the environment's. Its tool bindings hold every exact tool slot filled from the catalog, where the first two segments of a tool path name its capability, so `promptforge/web/fetch` belongs to `promptforge/web`. A slot whose capability contributed no tools lands in [`Requirements::missing_required`]. A slot whose capability is in the catalog but did not contribute that tool is not reported and stays unbound, and advertising that alias fails at run time. With no current model, nothing is bound or checked. With one, every declared role is bound to it, even when a check fails. A role's `min_context` above the model's context window adds a [`RequirementCheck::ContextMinimum`] entry to [`Requirements::unmet_requirements`], and a mismatched hard keyword adds a [`RequirementCheck::HardKeyword`] entry. Soft keywords are never checked. [`Environment::prepare`] never reports conflicts. Because it takes `&self`, one environment prepares many runs. + +## Requirements + +[`Requirements`] is the preflight report of what the deployment still cannot satisfy for a prompt. [`Environment::prepare`] returns one. A host that builds its own capability-activation report starts from [`Requirements::default`], which has three empty lists, and pushes into the public fields. The struct is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so it cannot be built with a struct literal. + +- [`Requirements::unmet_requirements`], a [`Vec`] of [`UnmetRequirement`], lists the model requirements that the bound model does not satisfy. Only [`Environment::prepare`] fills it, and it stays empty when no current model was set. +- [`Requirements::missing_required`], a [`Vec`] of [`CapabilityId`](crate::capabilities::CapabilityId), lists the required capabilities that the run cannot have. The host's activation adds a capability that is absent or failed to activate, and [`Environment::prepare`] adds the capability of an exact tool slot that contributed nothing to the catalog. +- [`Requirements::conflicts`], a [`Vec`] of [`CapabilityConflict`], lists pairs of present capabilities that cannot activate in one run. Neither member of a pair activates. Only the host's activation reports these. + +The methods read and combine reports. + +- [`Requirements::is_satisfied`] returns `true` when all three lists are empty. +- [`Requirements::merge`] takes `&mut self` and another [`Requirements`] by value, and folds it in. A host merges its activation report into the report from prepare, so a single refusal names every gap. A capability already in [`Requirements::missing_required`] is not repeated. Conflicts and unmet requirements are appended as they are. +- [`Requirements::refusal`] returns [`None`] when the report is satisfied. Otherwise it returns a [`RunError`] of kind [`RunErrorKind::RequirementsUnmet`], whose [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is exactly [`Requirements::notice`]. [`Run::new`] does not check requirements, so the host checks this before building the run and fails the run with the error instead. The error has no location, and it is neither cancelled nor retryable. +- [`Requirements::notice`] returns a [`String`] written for a model to read. It starts with `the environment cannot satisfy this prompt:` and adds one line per gap, each after a newline and `- `. Missing capabilities come first as `missing required capability: {id}`. Conflicts follow as `conflicting capabilities: {first} and {second} cannot be activated together; declare one or the other`.

Pick a model with a larger context and prepare again, or refuse the run. +- [`RequirementCheck::HardKeyword`]: the current model does not satisfy a hard keyword. That is `thinking` against a model whose thinking mode is [`ThinkingMode::Never`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Never), or `no-thinking` against one whose mode is [`ThinkingMode::Always`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Always). Pick a model whose thinking mode fits and prepare again, or refuse the run. + +## UnmetRequirement + +[`UnmetRequirement`] describes one failed model requirement, with the required and actual values side by side. It arrives in [`Requirements::unmet_requirements`], and hosts never build one. + +- [`UnmetRequirement::role`], a [`String`], is the role label declared under `models:`, for example `"analyst"`. +- [`UnmetRequirement::check`], a [`RequirementCheck`], says which check failed. +- [`UnmetRequirement::required`], a [`String`], is what the prompt required: the decimal context minimum, such as `"200000"`, or the hard keyword `"thinking"` or `"no-thinking"`. +- [`UnmetRequirement::actual`], a [`String`], is what the current model provides: its decimal context window, such as `"32000"`, or its thinking mode as `"Never"`, `"Always"`, `"Switchable"`, or `"unknown"`. + +## CapabilityConflict + +[`CapabilityConflict`] records two present capabilities that cannot activate in one run. The host's activation builds these and pushes them into [`Requirements::conflicts`]. The struct is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so the host builds one with [`CapabilityConflict::new`]. + +[`CapabilityConflict::new`] takes two [`CapabilityId`](crate::capabilities::CapabilityId) values and cannot fail. `first` is the capability declared earlier, and `second` is the one declared later, so the order matters. Build each with [`CapabilityId::parse`](crate::capabilities::CapabilityId::parse), or take them from the prompt's declarations. + +- [`CapabilityConflict::first`], a [`CapabilityId`](crate::capabilities::CapabilityId), is the earlier-declared capability. +- [`CapabilityConflict::second`], a [`CapabilityId`](crate::capabilities::CapabilityId), is the later-declared capability. + +[`Requirements::notice`] renders both with their [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) form. + +## RunLimits + +[`RunLimits`] sets a run's resource ceilings. The defaults are safe as they are, and [`RunContext::new`] installs them, so a host only builds [`RunLimits`] to change one. Start from [`RunLimits::new`], or from [`RunLimits::default`], which is the same, then call setters and install the result with [`RunContext::limits`]. + +Each setter takes the limits by value plus one value, returns the updated limits, and cannot fail. Most take a non-zero integer type, so zero cannot be expressed. + +- [`RunLimits::max_tool_iterations`] takes a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32) cap on the model rounds in one section's tool-call loop. The default is 24. A prompt's frontmatter `max_tool_iterations:` overrides it for that prompt. +- [`RunLimits::max_fanout_concurrency`] takes a [`NonZeroUsize`](std::num::NonZeroUsize) cap on the fanout arms that run at once. The default is 8. +- [`RunLimits::max_response_bytes`] takes a [`NonZeroU64`](std::num::NonZeroU64) cap on the size of a model response body, in bytes. The default is 16 MiB. +- [`RunLimits::lua_memory_bytes`] takes a [`NonZeroUsize`](std::num::NonZeroUsize) cap on the memory of each section's Lua state, in bytes. The default is 64 MiB. +- [`RunLimits::lua_log_events`] takes a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32) cap on the `log` checkpoints in each section's Lua state. The default is 1024. Running out ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Quota`]. +- [`RunLimits::request_timeout`] takes a [`Duration`](std::time::Duration), the longest a model request waits for its next receive: first the response headers, then each body chunk. Every receive restarts the wait, so a stream that keeps arriving is never cut off. The default is 120 seconds. This setter takes a plain [`Duration`](std::time::Duration), so the type does not rule out zero, and the effect of a zero duration is unknown. + +Each getter takes `&self` and returns the matching value: [`RunLimits::tool_iterations`], [`RunLimits::fanout_concurrency`], [`RunLimits::response_bytes`], [`RunLimits::lua_memory`], [`RunLimits::lua_logs`], and [`RunLimits::timeout`]. + +## Run + +[`Run`] is one run of one prompt, the state machine at the center of the host loop. [`Run::new`] is its only constructor. It is [`Send`] but not [`Clone`]. + +[`Run::new`] takes three arguments and always returns a run that has not started. Nothing executes until the first [`Run::step`]. + +- `prompt`, an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc) of a [`Prompt`], is the parsed prompt. Pass [`Arc::new`](std::sync::Arc::new) of the parse result, or a clone of an existing [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc) to run the same parse again. The prompt must declare `promptforge: 0` to start. +- `args`, a [`&str`](str), is the argument string, or `""` for none. [A first run](#a-first-run) and [How a run walks a prompt](#how-a-run-walks-a-prompt) describe how the prompt reads it. +- `ctx`, a [`RunContext`], is consumed. Pass the context from [`Environment::prepare`], or one straight from [`RunContext::new`] for a capability-free run. + +A prompt that cannot start ends on the first step, as [`Step::Done`] with [`RunResult::Failure`] and no events. A version other than `0` gives [`RunErrorKind::Version`]. A missing version gives [`RunErrorKind::Parse`] with the message "not a promptforge prompt: no promptforge version". A failing store backend gives [`RunErrorKind::Store`]. [`Run::new`] does not check [`Requirements`]. + +The other methods drive and observe the run. None of them can fail. + +- [`Run::step`] takes `&mut self` and returns a [`Step`]. The first call runs the H1 pass when the H1 has Lua blocks, and otherwise starts the section walk. It returns [`Step::Pending`] while any chain waits on an answer, and [`Step::Done`] once the run is over and every issued effect is answered. Stepping after [`Step::Done`] returns another [`Step::Done`] with [`RunErrorKind::Internal`] and the message "a finished run cannot be stepped again", or "a run that failed to start cannot be stepped again". If nothing is ready and nothing is pending, the run fails with an internal error instead of hanging. +- [`Run::resume`] takes `&mut self`, an [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId), and an [`EffectAnswer`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer), and returns nothing. The id comes from the effect's tuple. The answer must be of the same kind as the effect, such as an [`EffectAnswer::Store`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Store) for an [`Effect::Store`](crate::effect::Effect::Store), or it can be [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped). The waiting chain is queued for the next step, and the answer's events are reported on that step. A bad answer ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Internal`] on a later step. A fatal outcome of the answer itself also ends the run on a later step, with its own kind: a store claims conflict, for example, ends it with [`RunErrorKind::Determinism`]. When an unknown id ends the run, the effects still out become orphans, and the host still owes their answers before [`Step::Done`]. On a run that failed to start, [`Run::resume`] does nothing. +- [`Run::cancel`] takes `&mut self` and sets the run's cancel flag. [The host loop](#the-host-loop) describes the shutdown that follows. The flag is the context's flag, so capabilities that hold a handle from [`RunContext::cancel_handle`] see it too. +- [`Run::cancel_handle`] takes `&self` and returns a clone of the run's [`CancelHandle`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle). Another thread can call [`CancelHandle::cancel`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle::cancel) on it, or check [`CancelHandle::is_cancelled`](crate::cancel::CancelHandle::is_cancelled). +- [`Run::decided`] takes `&self` and returns a [`bool`]. It is `true` once the run's end boundary has been reported, or the run never started, and every effect still out is an orphan whose answer only [`Step::Done`] waits on. It stays `true` after [`Step::Done`]. + +## Step + +[`Step`] is the outcome of one [`Run::step`]. The host receives it and never builds one. + +- [`Step::Pending`]: the run continues. The host sees it whenever a chain still waits on an answer, including after [`Run::cancel`] while effects are still out. The host logs the events, performs the effects, answers each one, and steps again. + - [`Step::Pending::effects`](Step#variant.Pending.field.effects) is a [`Vec`] of tuples, each an [`EffectId`](crate::effect::EffectId), a [`Provenance`](crate::ids::Provenance), and an [`Effect`](crate::effect::Effect), in issue order. The list may be empty. + - [`Step::Pending::events`](Step#variant.Pending.field.events) is a [`Vec`] of [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values reported by this step, in order. +- [`Step::Done`]: the run is over. The host sees it only once every issued effect has been answered. The host logs the events, reads the result, and stops stepping. + - [`Step::Done::result`](Step#variant.Done.field.result) is the [`RunResult`]. + - [`Step::Done::events`](Step#variant.Done.field.events) is a [`Vec`] of the [`Event`](crate::event::Event) values reported since the previous step. It includes the run's end boundary, [`Event::RunSucceeded`](crate::event::Event::RunSucceeded) or [`Event::RunFailed`](crate::event::Event::RunFailed), unless an earlier [`Step::Pending`] already reported it. It is empty for a run that failed to start. + +## RunResult + +[`RunResult`] is what a run produced, read from [`Step::Done::result`](Step#variant.Done.field.result). Every outcome is a value, including a prompt that declines the request, which is ordinary result text. + +- [`RunResult::Ok`] holds a [`String`], the run's final text. It is the last scalar Lua return, or `"done"` when no section returned one. The variant shares its name with [`Result`]'s, so write [`RunResult::Ok`] in full where [`Result`] is also in scope. +- [`RunResult::Cancelled`] means the host cancelled the run, either through the cancel flag or by answering a waiting chain's effect with [`EffectAnswer::Dropped`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Dropped). Treat it as a clean stop. It has no payload. +- [`RunResult::Failure`] holds a [`RunError`]. Match on [`RunError::kind`], show the [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text to a person, use [`RunError::location`] to navigate, and check [`RunError::is_retryable`] before retrying. + +## RunError + +[`RunError`] explains why a run failed. It arrives in [`RunResult::Failure`] or from [`Requirements::refusal`], and hosts never build one. Each method takes `&self`, has no arguments, and cannot fail. + +- [`RunError::kind`] returns the stable [`RunErrorKind`]. Match on it with a wildcard arm instead of matching message text. +- [`RunError::is_cancelled`] returns `true` only for a [`RunErrorKind::Cancelled`] error. The [`Run`] interface reports cancellation as [`RunResult::Cancelled`] instead, so an error from [`Step::Done`] normally returns `false`. +- [`RunError::is_retryable`] returns `true` when a retry may succeed: an HTTP failure, a malformed model response, a failure reading the backend body, or a backend status of 500 or above. It returns `false` for everything else, including statuses below 500. +- [`RunError::location`] returns an [`Option`] of a [`SourceLocation`]. A frontmatter YAML failure gives the path `""` with the YAML line and column. A structured parse failure, including the missing-version failure, gives the frontmatter name when known, with the line, column, and span when known. An internal fault gives the Rust file and line. Every other failure returns [`None`]. + +[`RunError`] implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) with the underlying message, which for [`RunErrorKind::RequirementsUnmet`] is exactly the refusal notice. It implements [`std::error::Error`], and the cause chain is reachable through [`source`](std::error::Error::source). + +This prompt declares a version this build does not support: + +```` +use std::sync::Arc; + +use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; +use promptforge::{Prompt, Run, RunContext, RunErrorKind, RunResult, Step}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: future\n", + "description: needs a newer engine\n", + "promptforge: 7\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Future\n", + "\n", + "## Only\n", + "\n", + "```lua\n", + "return 'unreached'\n", + "```\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "future"); +let ctx = RunContext::new("future", 7, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH); +let mut run = Run::new(Arc::new(parsed?), "", ctx); + +let Step::Done { result: RunResult::Failure(error), events } = run.step() else { + panic!("an unsupported version ends the first step"); +}; +assert_eq!(error.kind(), RunErrorKind::Version); +assert!(!error.is_retryable()); +assert!(events.is_empty()); + +let Step::Done { result: RunResult::Failure(again), .. } = run.step() else { + panic!("a run that failed to start stays done"); +}; +assert_eq!(again.kind(), RunErrorKind::Internal); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +## RunErrorKind + +[`RunErrorKind`] is the matchable classification of a [`RunError`], returned by [`RunError::kind`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so new kinds can appear without breaking a `match` that has a wildcard arm. + +- [`RunErrorKind::Parse`]: the prompt could not be parsed, or it declares no `promptforge:` version. [`RunError::location`] gives the source position. Report it to the author. +- [`RunErrorKind::Version`]: the prompt declares a `promptforge:` major other than `0`. The prompt needs a supported version or a newer engine. +- [`RunErrorKind::Binding`]: a tool or model could not be bound. A common cause is a section that sends prose to a model with neither `models.use` nor a prompt-wide `models.default`, reported as "model binding required for section ...". Fix the environment or the prompt's declarations. +- [`RunErrorKind::Completion`]: a model completion failed at the transport, backend, or decode layer. Check [`RunError::is_retryable`], because transient failures may succeed on retry. +- [`RunErrorKind::Tool`]: a tool failed, the model called a tool outside the section's advertised set, Lua called an alias that is not bound in the run, or the tool-call loop hit its iteration cap without a final reply. Raise [`RunLimits::max_tool_iterations`] if the cap was the cause, or fix the tool. +- [`RunErrorKind::Store`]: a store operation failed, including a store backend that fails its probe when the run starts. Inspect the backend or the operation. +- [`RunErrorKind::Determinism`]: two live execution identities claimed one store path, and the run ended at once to keep interleaving deterministic. Avoid concurrent runs or capabilities writing the same path. +- [`RunErrorKind::Lua`]: a section's Lua failed to run or to return a usable value, for example a runtime error or a misused task. Report it to the author. +- [`RunErrorKind::Quota`]: a Lua host quota ran out, such as log events, log bytes, or instructions. Raise the matching [`RunLimits`] value or fix the prompt. +- [`RunErrorKind::ContextExhausted`]: the compactor ran out of room in the model's context window. Use a model with a larger context or shorten the prompt's history. +- [`RunErrorKind::Input`]: the host's input handling failed a user-input wait. Inspect that handling. +- [`RunErrorKind::Substitution`]: a `{{ }}` substitution in prose failed. Report it to the author. +- [`RunErrorKind::Cancelled`]: the host cancelled the run. This kind exists only inside a run, and the [`Run`] interface reports cancellation as [`RunResult::Cancelled`], so a host normally never sees it. +- [`RunErrorKind::Internal`]: an internal invariant failed. The usual cause is a host loop error: stepping after [`Step::Done`], answering an unknown id, answering an effect twice, or answering with the wrong kind. [`RunError::location`] gives the Rust file and line. Fix the host loop, and otherwise report an engine bug. +- [`RunErrorKind::RequirementsUnmet`]: the environment cannot satisfy the prompt.

Satisfy the listed requirements or show the notice. + +# Where to go next + +The module pages, in reading order: -# Concurrency without a runtime +- [`prompt`]: what a parsed prompt declares in its frontmatter, from its name and description to its store files, capabilities, tool slots, typed args, and model roles. +- [`timestamp`]: the start instant of a run, built from signed Unix milliseconds and rendered as RFC 3339. +- [`cancel`]: the cancel flag, shared by cloning, arranged into parent and child handles, and set from any thread. +- [`effect`]: every kind of effect a run can hand out, and the answer for each. +- [`model`]: model identities and descriptors, binding a prompt's roles, building messages, and completion errors. +- [`transport`]: the chat-completions codec that builds a request body and reads the response stream through any HTTP client. +- [`tools`]: tool descriptors and ids, building a validated catalog, and answering tool calls from your own implementations. +- [`input`]: answering a user-input wait with the operator's text, or reporting that no operator is present. +- [`vfs`]: the virtual filesystem behind the store, its backends and mounts, and seeding and extracting run files. +- [`event`]: the events a parse and a run report, how to persist them, and which ones mark section and run boundaries. +- [`ids`]: chain ids, how `call` children and spawned tasks extend them, and provenance for ordering a log by task. +- [`metrics`]: token usage and timing for each model reply. +- [`replay`]: the behavior flags a host records beside the seed and start instant. +- [`capabilities`]: parsing a capability id and checking whether a tool id belongs to a capability. -The engine needs no async runtime of its own. Section Lua yields request values to the run's chain-stack scheduler, which turns each leaf request into an effect for the host, so the host's loop performs effects on whatever executor it likes, or on the calling thread.

The pattern `metrics: Some(metrics)` skips a reply that nothing measured, and the `..` skips the reply's other fields, which the [`event`](crate::event) page covers. +2. **Read the token count.** [`Usage::total_tokens`] is the call's total token count, a [`u32`]. [`Usage::prompt_tokens`] and [`Usage::completion_tokens`] hold the two parts. +3. **Read the time.** [`ClientTiming::e2e_ms`] is the end-to-end time in milliseconds, an [`f64`]. It is the one timing value that is always present once the client section exists. +4. **Handle each missing section.** Any section can be [`None`] on its own, so the host checks every section before reading it.

Its [`tool_call_id`](crate::event::Event#variant.ToolResult.field.tool_call_id) matches the [`ToolCallEvent::id`] of the answered call.

It is [`Some`] when a llama.cpp server served the call and sent a top-level `timings` object. +- [`CallMetrics::vllm`], an [`Option`] of a [`VllmMetrics`], is vLLM's request metrics. It is [`Some`] when vLLM served the call and sent a top-level `metrics` object. +- [`CallMetrics::client`], an [`Option`] of a [`ClientTiming`], is the timing measured on the calling client's own clock. [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream) always measures it for a completed stream. + +Its JSON form is an object keyed by the four field names, in field order, each left out when [`None`].

The host reads it from [`CallMetrics::usage`] or from [`Completion::usage`](crate::model::Completion::usage). It is parsed from the `usage` object of the chat-completions response. + +- [`Usage::prompt_tokens`], a [`u32`], is the number of tokens in the prompt. +- [`Usage::completion_tokens`], a [`u32`], is the number of tokens generated in the completion. +- [`Usage::total_tokens`], a [`u32`], is the prompt and completion tokens together. It is copied from the backend's own total and not recomputed from the other two fields. +- [`Usage::cached_tokens`], an [`Option`] of [`u32`], is how many prompt tokens were served from the backend's prefix cache. It is [`Some`] only when the backend reports that detail. The backend sends it nested, as `usage.prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens`. +- [`Usage::reasoning_tokens`], an [`Option`] of [`u32`], is how many tokens went to the model's reasoning.

This is not the backend's nested shape. + +## LlamaTimings + +[`LlamaTimings`] is a llama.cpp server's timing report for one call: prompt processing, generation, and speculative-decoding draft counts. The host reads it from [`CallMetrics::llama`] or from [`Completion::llama_timings`](crate::model::Completion::llama_timings). It is parsed from the top-level `timings` object of the server's response. + +- [`LlamaTimings::prompt_n`], a [`u32`], is the number of prompt tokens processed. +- [`LlamaTimings::prompt_ms`], an [`f64`], is the wall-clock milliseconds spent processing the prompt. +- [`LlamaTimings::prompt_per_second`], an [`f64`], is the prompt processing rate in tokens per second. +- [`LlamaTimings::predicted_n`], a [`u32`], is the number of tokens generated. +- [`LlamaTimings::predicted_ms`], an [`f64`], is the wall-clock milliseconds spent generating. +- [`LlamaTimings::predicted_per_second`], an [`f64`], is the generation rate in tokens per second. +- [`LlamaTimings::draft_n`], a [`u32`], is the number of tokens proposed by the draft model during speculative decoding. It is `0` when no draft model ran. +- [`LlamaTimings::draft_n_accepted`], a [`u32`], is how many drafted tokens were accepted by the target model. It is `0` when no draft model ran. Divide it by [`LlamaTimings::draft_n`] for the acceptance rate. + +The first six fields are required in the server's `timings` object. The two draft counters are not. When a server response leaves one out, it becomes `0`, because an absent counter means zero drafted tokens, not an unknown value. That rule applies only to parsing a server response. The JSON form of [`LlamaTimings`] itself has all eight keys, in field order, and requires all eight on read. + +## VllmMetrics + +[`VllmMetrics`] is vLLM's per-request metrics for one call. The host reads it only from [`CallMetrics::vllm`]. It is parsed from the top-level `metrics` object of the response body. Every field is an [`Option`] of [`f64`], because vLLM leaves out what it did not measure. + +- [`VllmMetrics::time_to_first_token_ms`] is the milliseconds from the start of the request to the first generated token, as vLLM measured it on the server. The host-clock counterpart is [`ClientTiming::ttft_ms`]. +- [`VllmMetrics::generation_time_ms`] is the milliseconds spent generating. +- [`VllmMetrics::queue_time_ms`] is the milliseconds spent waiting in vLLM's scheduler queue. +- [`VllmMetrics::mean_itl_ms`] is the mean inter-token latency in milliseconds, as vLLM measured it. +- [`VllmMetrics::tokens_per_second`] is the generation rate in tokens per second. + +The JSON form is an object with the five keys in field order, each left out when [`None`]. Unknown keys are ignored on read. + +## ClientTiming + +[`ClientTiming`] is the timing of one call from end to end, measured on the calling client's own clock instead of reported by the backend. [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream) produces it from the `started` instant and the `now` clock that the host passes in. The host reads it from [`CallMetrics::client`] or from [`Completion::client_timing`](crate::model::Completion::client_timing). + +- [`ClientTiming::ttft_ms`], an [`Option`] of [`f64`], is the milliseconds from sending the request to the first streamed token. It is [`None`] when the stream produced no content delta. +- [`ClientTiming::mean_itl_ms`], an [`Option`] of [`f64`], is the mean inter-token latency in milliseconds. It is the time from the first delta chunk to the last, divided by one less than the number of delta chunks. It counts delta chunks, not tokens, so it is [`None`] unless at least two delta chunks arrived. +- [`ClientTiming::e2e_ms`], an [`f64`], is the milliseconds from sending the request to the completed response, read after the stream's `[DONE]` sentinel. + +Every value is rounded to a whole microsecond, so the stored text parses back exactly on replay. The JSON form is an object keyed by the three field names, in field order, with the two optional keys left out when [`None`]. + +## ToolCallEvent + +[`ToolCallEvent`] is one tool call requested by the model: the provider's id for it, the tool name, and the arguments. The host receives it in the [`calls`](crate::event::Event#variant.AssistantToolCalls.field.calls) field of [`Event::AssistantToolCalls`](crate::event::Event::AssistantToolCalls), one per requested call in that round. [Tool-call records](#tool-call-records) covers the guarantees and the pairing with results. + +- [`ToolCallEvent::id`], a [`String`], is the provider-issued tool-call id. +- [`ToolCallEvent::name`], a [`String`], is the called tool's name. +- [`ToolCallEvent::arguments`], a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html), is the call's arguments as the model produced them, decoded from the backend's JSON-encoded string.

A run is given exactly one model, the descriptor passed to [`RunContext::model`](crate::RunContext::model), and every declared role binds to it.

Building a catalog or preparing a run reports none of them. # Roles and bindings -A prompt declares the model roles it needs in its frontmatter ([`ModelRoles`](crate::prompt::ModelRoles)). The host sets the run's current model with [`RunContext::model`](crate::RunContext::model), and [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) binds every declared role to it, checking each role's hard keywords and context minimum against the descriptor. A failed check is reported in the prepare's [`Requirements`](crate::Requirements) with what the prompt required and what the model provides; soft keywords only document the author's intent. The result is the run's [`ModelBindings`], which resolve a role label to its id and descriptor. With no current model, declared roles stay unbound and selecting one at run time fails. +A prompt declares the model roles it needs under `models:` in its frontmatter. Each role can list keywords, a `min_context`, and a description, and the [`prompt`](crate::prompt) module page lists what a role declares. At run time, Lua picks a role with `models.default(label)` for the whole prompt, called from the H1, or with `models.use(label, opts?)` for one section, for example `models.use('analyst', { temperature = 0, max_tokens = 1024 })`.

It is a linear search. +- [`ModelCatalog::contains`] takes a reference to a [`ModelId`] and returns `true` when a descriptor with that id is present. + +## ModelCatalogError + +[`ModelCatalogError`] says why a [`ModelCatalog`] could not be built. [`ModelCatalog::new`] returns it, and hosts never build one. It implements [`std::error::Error`]. + +- [`ModelCatalogError::DuplicateId`]: two descriptors share one [`ModelId`], which would make lookups ambiguous. Drop or rename the duplicate and build the catalog again. The variant is itself `#[non_exhaustive]`, so match it as `DuplicateId { server, name, .. }`. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is `duplicate model identity in catalog: {server}/{name}`. + - [`ModelCatalogError::DuplicateId::server`](ModelCatalogError#variant.DuplicateId.field.server), a [`String`], is the repeated id's namespace, which is `"gateway"` for gateway models. + - [`ModelCatalogError::DuplicateId::name`](ModelCatalogError#variant.DuplicateId.field.name), a [`String`], is the repeated id's model name. + +## ModelBindings + +[`ModelBindings`] records which model each declared role is bound to, and the descriptor of every model that the run may use. Lookups go from role label to id to descriptor. The host reads them from [`RunContext::model_bindings`](crate::RunContext::model_bindings) after [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare), which is their only writer. In this version every declared role binds to the context's current model. With no current model the bindings stay empty and every lookup returns [`None`]. The [`Default`] value is empty. + +- [`ModelBindings::role_id`] takes `label`, a [`&str`](str) naming a role declared under `models:`, and returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the bound [`ModelId`]. It is [`None`] when the role is undeclared or no current model was set. +- [`ModelBindings::resolve`] takes the same `label` and returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the bound model's [`ModelDescriptor`], or [`None`] when the role is unbound. +- [`ModelBindings::model`] takes `id`, a reference to a [`ModelId`], and returns an [`Option`] of a reference to that model's [`ModelDescriptor`] when the run may use it, or [`None`]. +- [`ModelBindings::len`] returns the number of bound roles as a [`usize`]. Two roles bound to one model count as two, while the descriptor table holds that model once. +- [`ModelBindings::is_empty`] returns `true` when no roles are bound. + +## ModelBinding + +[`ModelBinding`] is one prompt-local alias bound to a model id and its frozen invocation parameters. The host receives it in [`Effect::Chat::binding`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Chat.field.binding), or builds one with [`ModelBinding::new`]. + +[`ModelBinding::new`] takes five arguments and cannot fail. It returns a binding with an empty capabilities list. + +- `alias`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the exact prompt-local alias. It is not validated. +- `description`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the role's description. +- `id`, a [`ModelId`], is the bound model's identity. +- `invocation`, a [`ModelInvocation`], is the frozen per-request fields. Every field is optional, so `ModelInvocation { temperature: None, max_tokens: None, thinking: None }` is valid. +- `context`, a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32), is the model's context window in tokens. It is required at construction, so a binding never exists half-built. + +Two builder methods adjust a binding. Each takes it by value and cannot fail. + +- [`ModelBinding::with_capabilities`] takes a [`Vec`] of [`String`], the role's full keyword set in kebab-case, and replaces any previous set. +- [`ModelBinding::with_invocation`] takes a [`ModelInvocation`] and replaces the binding's invocation. + +The accessors take `&self` and cannot fail. + +- [`ModelBinding::alias`] returns the alias as a [`&str`](str). +- [`ModelBinding::description`] returns the description as a [`&str`](str). On a binding the run built, it is the role's description, or the model descriptor's description when the role declares none. +- [`ModelBinding::id`] returns a reference to the bound [`ModelId`]. +- [`ModelBinding::invocation`] returns a reference to the [`ModelInvocation`]. +- [`ModelBinding::context`] returns the context window as a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32). +- [`ModelBinding::capabilities`] returns the keyword set as a slice of [`String`]. It is empty on a binding built with [`ModelBinding::new`] alone. +- [`ModelBinding::completion_options`] returns the [`CompletionOptions`] for a request under this binding. The wire model is the [`ModelId::name`] of [`ModelBinding::id`], and the temperature, generation cap, and thinking switch are copied from the invocation. Pass the result to [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body). + +## ModelInvocation + +[`ModelInvocation`] holds the frozen per-request fields that every round under a binding uses. It is the one struct in this module built with a struct literal. The host reads it from [`ModelBinding::invocation`]. It has no [`Default`]. + +- [`ModelInvocation::temperature`], an [`Option`] of [`Temperature`], is the sampling temperature, when one was set. A [`Temperature`] is always valid. +- [`ModelInvocation::max_tokens`], an [`Option`] of [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32), is the generation cap, when one was set. A zero cap cannot be expressed. +- [`ModelInvocation::thinking`], an [`Option`] of [`bool`], is the thinking switch sent as `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`, when set. The run sets `Some(true)` for a role with the `thinking` keyword and `Some(false)` for one with `no-thinking`. + +## Temperature + +[`Temperature`] is a validated sampling temperature, finite and within `[0.0, 2.0]` inclusive. Building one is the only way to place a temperature into a request. + +[`Temperature::new`] takes `value`, an [`f64`], and returns a [`Result`] of a [`Temperature`] or a [`TemperatureError`]. `0.0`, `0.7`, and `2.0` are accepted. NaN and infinities fail with [`TemperatureError::NotFinite`], which is checked first, and a finite value below `0.0` or above `2.0` fails with [`TemperatureError::OutOfRange`]. [`Temperature`] also implements [`TryFrom`] of [`f64`] with the same rules and [`TemperatureError`] as its error type. + +[`Temperature::get`] takes the temperature by value and returns the [`f64`]. + +## TemperatureError + +[`TemperatureError`] says why a temperature was rejected. [`Temperature::new`], [`Temperature`]'s [`TryFrom`] conversion, and [`CompletionOptions::with_temperature`] return it, and hosts never build one. It implements [`std::error::Error`]. + +- [`TemperatureError::NotFinite`]: the value was NaN or an infinity. Supply a finite value in `[0.0, 2.0]`. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is `temperature must be finite`. +- [`TemperatureError::OutOfRange`]: the value was finite but outside `[0.0, 2.0]`, such as `-0.1` or `2.5`. Clamp or correct it. The variant is itself `#[non_exhaustive]`, so match it as `OutOfRange { value, .. }`. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is `temperature {value} is outside the supported range [0.0, 2.0]`. + - [`TemperatureError::OutOfRange::value`](TemperatureError#variant.OutOfRange.field.value), an [`f64`], is the rejected value. + +## CompletionOptions + +[`CompletionOptions`] holds the per-call fields merged into a chat-completions request body: the model name sent on the wire and the optional temperature, generation cap, and thinking switch. The host receives them in [`Effect::Chat::options`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Chat.field.options), derives them with [`ModelBinding::completion_options`], or builds them by hand. They go to [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body). There is no [`Default`]. + +[`CompletionOptions::new`] takes `model`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], which is the model name sent on the wire. Normally that is the [`ModelId::name`] of the bound model. It is not validated. The new options leave the temperature, generation cap, and thinking switch unset, and three builder methods set them. Each takes the options by value. + +- [`CompletionOptions::with_temperature`] takes `temperature`, an [`f64`], and returns a [`Result`] of the updated options or a [`TemperatureError`], under the same rules as [`Temperature::new`]. The options are consumed on failure. +- [`CompletionOptions::with_max_tokens`] takes `max_tokens`, a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32), the most tokens to generate, and cannot fail. +- [`CompletionOptions::with_thinking`] takes `thinking`, a [`bool`], and cannot fail. Once set, the request body carries `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking` with that value. + +## Message + +[`Message`] is one chat message in a round's conversation. The host receives the conversation in [`Effect::Chat::messages`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Chat.field.messages), in wire order, or builds messages with three constructors. None of them can fail. + +- [`Message::user`] takes `content`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], and returns a message with the role `user`. +- [`Message::assistant`] takes `content` the same way and returns a plain `assistant` turn with no tool calls. +- [`Message::tool`] takes `tool_call_id` and `content`, each anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], and returns a message with the role `tool`. `tool_call_id` must be the [`ToolCall::id`] of the call this result answers. The constructor does not check it. + +There is no constructor for a `system` message or a multimodal message. Only the run builds those. + +- [`Message::role`] returns the role as a [`&str`](str): `system`, `user`, `assistant`, or `tool`. +- [`Message::content`] returns the message text as a [`&str`](str). For a multimodal message, whose content is a list of parts, it returns `""`. + +[`Message`] implements serde's [`Serialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html) in the OpenAI chat-completions wire shape. A plain message serializes to `{"role":..,"content":..}`, and the `tool_call_id` and `tool_calls` keys appear only when set. + +## ToolSchema + +[`ToolSchema`] is one tool advertised to the model in the OpenAI function-calling shape: its wire name, a one-sentence description, and the JSON Schema of its parameters. The host receives the round's schemas in [`Effect::Chat::tools`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Chat.field.tools), and an empty list advertises none. Only the run builds a [`ToolSchema`], and it has no public accessors. The host passes the schemas through to [`build_request_body`](crate::transport::build_request_body). It implements serde's [`Serialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html), and inside a request body each schema is wrapped as `{"type":"function","function":{"name":..,"description":..,"parameters":..}}`. + +## Completion + +[`Completion`] is one finished model round: the text or tool-call outcome plus the round's metadata. The host answers an [`Effect::Chat`](crate::effect::Effect::Chat) with an [`EffectAnswer::Chat`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Chat) holding `Ok(Box::new(completion))`. A host with a transport gets one from [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream). + +[`Completion::from_result`] builds a completion without a transport, for a test or a replay. It takes two arguments and cannot fail. + +- `result`, a [`CompletionResult`], is the round's outcome: [`CompletionResult::Text`] for a reply or [`CompletionResult::ToolCalls`] for a tool batch. +- `model`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the model name that [`Completion::model`] reports. It is not validated. + +On a completion built this way, every optional metadata accessor below returns [`None`], and both the request and response bodies are JSON `null`. + +Each accessor takes `&self` and cannot fail. + +- [`Completion::result`] returns a reference to the [`CompletionResult`]. Match on it with a wildcard arm. +- [`Completion::model`] returns the serving model as a [`&str`](str), as the backend named it in the response body. It is empty when the body named none. +- [`Completion::finish_reason`] returns the finish reason as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), such as `"stop"` or `"length"`, or [`None`] when the backend supplied none. +- [`Completion::reasoning_content`] returns the reasoning side channel as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str). It is never promoted into the answer. +- [`Completion::usage`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the backend's token accounting, a [`Usage`](crate::metrics::Usage). +- [`Completion::llama_timings`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the llama.cpp timings, a [`LlamaTimings`](crate::metrics::LlamaTimings), when that backend served the round. +- [`Completion::client_timing`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the timing measured on the client's own clock, a [`ClientTiming`](crate::metrics::ClientTiming), when the transport measured one. + +The [`metrics`](crate::metrics) module page covers the three metric types. A host that logs answers converts a reference to a [`Completion`] into a [`ChatAnswerRecord`](crate::effect::ChatAnswerRecord) through [`From`]. [`Completion`] is not [`Clone`]. + +## CompletionResult + +[`CompletionResult`] is the outcome of a round. The host reads it from [`Completion::result`], or builds a variant to pass to [`Completion::from_result`]. + +- [`CompletionResult::Text`] holds a [`String`], the model's final text reply. Display or record the text. The run resumes the section with it. +- [`CompletionResult::ToolCalls`] holds a [`Vec`] of [`ToolCall`], the requested tool calls. Read each call's id, name, and arguments. The run issues one [`Effect::ToolCall`](crate::effect::Effect::ToolCall) per call. + +The run fails with an internal error on any variant it does not recognize, so answer only with these two. + +## ToolCall + +[`ToolCall`] is one requested tool call: its id, the tool's name, and its arguments. The host receives calls inside [`CompletionResult::ToolCalls`]. The model sends the arguments as a JSON-encoded string, and the call holds them parsed, or as a JSON string when they are not valid JSON. + +[`ToolCall::from_parts`] builds a call for a scripted or replayed round. It takes three arguments and cannot fail. + +- `id`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the id of the call, which the tool result echoes back through [`Message::tool`]. It is not validated. +- `name`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], is the tool to invoke, named by its prompt-local alias as advertised to the model. The run fails the call as out of scope when the name is outside the round's advertised tool scope. +- `arguments`, a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html), is the argument payload, normally a JSON object. + +The accessors take `&self` and cannot fail. + +- [`ToolCall::id`] returns the call's id as a [`&str`](str). Pass it as the `tool_call_id` of [`Message::tool`]. +- [`ToolCall::name`] returns the tool name as a [`&str`](str). +- [`ToolCall::arguments`] returns a [`ToolArguments`] view that borrows from the call. + +## ToolArguments + +[`ToolArguments`] is a read-only view of one [`ToolCall`]'s arguments. The host gets one from [`ToolCall::arguments`] and never builds one. It borrows from its call. + +- [`ToolArguments::to_json_string`] returns the arguments as canonical JSON text in a [`String`]. When the wire arguments were not valid JSON, the call holds them as a JSON string, so this returns that string JSON-quoted. +- [`ToolArguments::is_empty`] returns `true` for a JSON `null` payload or an empty object, and `false` for anything else. +- [`ToolArguments::contains`] takes `key`, a [`&str`](str), and returns `true` when the arguments are a JSON object with that top-level key. It returns `false` when the key is absent or the arguments are not an object. +- [`ToolArguments::names`] returns an [`Iterator`] over the top-level argument names as [`&str`](str) values when the arguments are an object, or an empty iterator otherwise. + +## StreamDelta + +[`StreamDelta`] is one live increment of a streaming round. Reply text and reasoning stay separate so a viewer can render them differently. The host receives deltas in the `on_delta` callback it passes to [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream), and forwards them only when [`Effect::Chat::stream`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Chat.field.stream) is `true`. Tool-call fragments never arrive as deltas. They are held back until the batch is complete and validated. + +- [`StreamDelta::Text`] holds a [`String`], a fragment of the reply text. Append it to the visible reply. +- [`StreamDelta::Reasoning`] holds a [`String`], a fragment of the reasoning side channel, never part of the answer. Render it apart from the reply, or ignore it. + +## CompletionError + +[`CompletionError`] describes why a model round failed. The host gets one from [`read_completion_stream`](crate::transport::read_completion_stream) or [`read_body_capped`](crate::transport::read_body_capped), or converts a [`ClientError`](crate::transport::ClientError) into one through [`From`]. The host answers the round with an [`EffectAnswer::Chat`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Chat) holding `Err(error)`. Each method takes `&self`, has no arguments, and cannot fail. + +- [`CompletionError::kind`] returns the stable [`CompletionErrorKind`]. Branch on it instead of matching message text. +- [`CompletionError::is_retryable`] returns `true` for transport failures, malformed responses, failures reading a backend error body, and backend statuses of 500 or above. It returns `false` for everything else, including a backend status below 500, an empty reply, disabled access, and configuration failures. +- [`CompletionError::is_timeout`] returns `true` when the failure was a transport timeout. The check looks for a [`ClientTimeout`](crate::transport::ClientTimeout) in the error's source, so a transport must wrap its own timeout error in [`ClientTimeout`](crate::transport::ClientTimeout) before boxing it, or this returns `false`. +- [`CompletionError::status`] returns the HTTP status as an [`Option`] of [`u16`] for a backend failure or a failure reading the backend error body. It is [`None`] otherwise. +- [`CompletionError::backend_body`] returns the backend's error body as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), bounded in size and with control characters escaped. It is [`Some`] only for a backend failure. The body never appears in the [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text, so reading it is an opt-in diagnostic. +- [`CompletionError::finish_reason`] returns the finish reason as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str) for an empty-reply failure whose backend supplied one. It is [`None`] for every other failure. -Inside the run, a prompt-local alias bound to a model and its frozen invocation parameters is a [`ModelBinding`]: its [`ModelInvocation`] fixes the sampling [`Temperature`], the generation cap, and the thinking switch for every round under that binding. A temperature outside `[0.0, 2.0]` or not finite is rejected with a [`TemperatureError`]. +Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is the underlying message, such as `http transport failure` or `non-success backend status 503`. It implements [`std::error::Error`], and [`source`](std::error::Error::source) reaches the underlying transport cause. It also converts back into a [`ClientError`](crate::transport::ClientError) through [`From`]. [`CompletionError`] is not [`Clone`]. -# One round +## CompletionErrorKind -A model round is an [`Effect::Chat`](crate::effect::Effect::Chat) holding the binding, the conversation as [`Message`]s in wire order, the [`ToolSchema`]s advertised to the model, and the [`CompletionOptions`] built from the binding: the model named on the wire and the optional temperature, generation cap, and thinking switch. +[`CompletionErrorKind`] is the matchable classification of a [`CompletionError`], returned by [`CompletionError::kind`]. Hosts never build one, but they name its variants to compare against or match on. It does not implement [`Display`](std::fmt::Display). -The host answers with a [`Completion`] or a [`CompletionError`]. A completion holds the reassembled turn as a [`CompletionResult`] - reply text, or the [`ToolCall`]s the model requested, each with its id, name, and arguments readable through a typed [`ToolArguments`] view - together with the round's metadata: the model that served it, the finish reason, any reasoning text, and the token usage and timings it reported ([`metrics`](crate::metrics)). A [`CompletionError`] is classified by [`CompletionErrorKind`] and says whether it was a timeout. While a round streams, the host may forward each [`StreamDelta`] of reply text or reasoning to whoever watches the reply; the completion holds the whole turn either way. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::Transport`]: the HTTP request failed at the transport layer, such as a lost connection or a timeout, or the body of a non-success response could not be read. A retry may succeed. Check [`CompletionError::is_timeout`] to spot a timeout, and [`CompletionError::status`] for a body-read failure, which still carries its status. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::Backend`]: the backend returned a non-success HTTP status. Read [`CompletionError::status`] and, when needed, [`CompletionError::backend_body`]. It is retryable only for a status of 500 or above. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse`]: the response could not be decoded or was structurally invalid. That includes a stream that passed its byte cap, ended without the `[DONE]` sentinel, or cut a tool-call batch short. A retry may succeed. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::EmptyReply`]: the model returned neither tool calls nor text. Read [`CompletionError::finish_reason`]. It is not retryable. The run treats it as a completed round with no reply. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::Disabled`]: the host disabled gateway access. It is not retryable until the host enables access again. +- [`CompletionErrorKind::Config`]: the client could not be configured, because of a missing or non-Unicode environment variable, a bad endpoint, or an invalid configuration, or the shared model set's lock was poisoned. It is not retryable. Fix the configuration. -The [`transport`](crate::transport) module is the codec that builds the request body and reads the response into a [`Completion`]. diff --git a/crates/promptforge/src/prompt.md b/crates/promptforge/src/prompt.md index d9eb676f..cda286c3 100644 --- a/crates/promptforge/src/prompt.md +++ b/crates/promptforge/src/prompt.md @@ -1,29 +1,502 @@ -What a parsed prompt declares in its frontmatter. +The read-only view of a prompt's frontmatter: its identity, version, store files, capabilities, tool slots, args, and model roles. -# Parsing +A prompt's frontmatter is its contract with the host.

Nothing has to run first. The host then uses the declarations in this order. -- Identity: the prompt's `name`, its one-line `description`, and the `promptforge` engine major it targets. -- Args: an [`ArgsDecl`] maps each arg name to its [`ArgDecl`] - an [`ArgType`], whether a call may omit it, a default, and a description. A prompt with no `args:` key has the default declaration, one optional string named `prose`. -- Files: an optional input and output [`FileDecl`], each a store path with a description. -- Capabilities: the [`CapabilityDecl`]s the prompt needs, in declaration order, each with its id, whether it is optional (skipped and logged when absent), and any prompt-side configuration. The host activates them before [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare). -- Model roles: [`ModelRoles`] maps each prompt-local label to a [`ModelRole`] - [`ModelKeyword`]s, a context minimum in tokens, and a description. Prepare binds each role to the run's current model and checks its hard keywords and context minimum; the [`model`](crate::model) module covers the binding. -- Tool slots: [`ToolSlots`] maps each prompt-local alias to a [`ToolSlot`] naming an exact tool id. Prepare fills each slot by identity against the host's catalog; the [`tools`](crate::tools) module covers the fill. +1.

Its [`FileDecl::path`] is where the host stages the input before the run and reads the output after it. +3. **Capabilities.** [`Frontmatter::capabilities`] keeps declaration order. The first entry is a bare id string, which is always required. The second is a map that marks the capability optional and carries configuration for the host to hand to it at activation. +4. **Tool slots.** [`ToolSlots::get`] looks a slot up by its alias. Every slot today is a [`ToolSlot::Exact`] that holds a [`ToolId`](crate::tools::ToolId). +5. **Args.** An explicit `args:` key makes a structured declaration, so [`ArgsDecl::is_default`] is `false` and the host passes a JSON argument string. [Passing the argument string](#passing-the-argument-string) explains the choice. +6. **Model roles.** [`ModelRoles::get`] looks a role up by its label. The role lists its keywords in the order written, and a minimum context window in tokens. + +The [Reference](#reference) gives the exact YAML form of every key. + +# Strict validation + +The frontmatter parser rejects anything it does not recognize. An unknown or misspelled top-level key fails the parse, so a typo such as `desciption:` fails loudly instead of being skipped. The same rule holds inside every entry of `capabilities:`, `tools:`, `args:`, and `models:`, where misspelled sub-keys such as `optionl`, `wants`, `tipe`, and `keyword` fail too. Malformed YAML fails the parse as well.

A bad value is reported at its exact line and column. [`ParseError::line`](crate::ParseError::line) and [`ParseError::column`](crate::ParseError::column) count from the top of the file, so the opening `---` line is line 1.

The model only ever sees these local names, never a global path. All three share one grammar, `[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]{0,63}`, which is a letter followed by up to 63 letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens. So `1search`, `has space`, `has/slash`, and `has.dot` are rejected. A 64-character name passes, and a 65-character name fails. A name that appears twice in one map fails with "duplicate {what} `{key}`: contract map keys must be unique", where `{what}` is `tool alias`, `model role label`, or `arg name`. + +The lookup methods [`ToolSlots::get`], [`ArgsDecl::get`], and [`ModelRoles::get`] take the name exactly as written, and the match is case-sensitive. A string outside the grammar can never be present, so looking one up returns [`None`]. + +# Passing the argument string + +[`Frontmatter::args`] tells the host how to fill the argument string for [`Run::new`](crate::Run::new).

An empty string counts as present, not absent. +- For a structured declaration, pass a JSON object string such as `{"query": "papers", "limit": 5}`. The run parses it as JSON. A parse failure or a JSON `null` gives the prompt a nil `argv`. + +An explicit `args:` block is always structured, even one with exactly the same shape as the implicit declaration.

When a slot's capability contributed nothing, that capability lands in [`Requirements::missing_required`](crate::Requirements::missing_required). The report is then unsatisfied, so [`Requirements::refusal`](crate::Requirements::refusal) returns the error the host fails the run with before building it. When the capability contributed other tools but not the named one, the slot is not reported and stays unbound, and advertising that alias fails at run time. + +**Model roles** are bound to the run's current model, set with [`RunContext::model`](crate::RunContext::model). With no current model, roles stay unbound, and selecting one at run time fails. With a current model, prepare checks two things for each role and reports each failure as an [`UnmetRequirement`](crate::UnmetRequirement) in [`Requirements::unmet_requirements`](crate::Requirements::unmet_requirements). + +- The hard keywords. `thinking` fails when the model's [`ThinkingMode`](crate::model::ThinkingMode) is [`ThinkingMode::Never`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Never), and `no-thinking` fails when it is [`ThinkingMode::Always`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Always). The failure's [`UnmetRequirement::check`](crate::UnmetRequirement::check) is [`RequirementCheck::HardKeyword`](crate::RequirementCheck::HardKeyword). +- The context minimum. A model whose context window is below the role's `min_context:` fails, with [`RequirementCheck::ContextMinimum`](crate::RequirementCheck::ContextMinimum). + +A hard keyword also freezes the bound invocation's thinking switch, on for `thinking` and off for `no-thinking`. The soft keywords `frontier`, `fast`, `small`, `creative`, and `chat` record the author's intent and are never checked. The [`model`](crate::model) module page covers binding, and the [`tools`](crate::tools) module page covers the catalog. + +# Reference + +This part covers every item in the module, starting from [`Frontmatter`] and following its accessors. Four conventions hold across the module. + +- Every struct is `#[non_exhaustive]` with private fields, so a host cannot write a struct literal. It receives each value from [`Prompt::frontmatter`](crate::Prompt::frontmatter) and the accessors below. +- Every accessor takes `&self` and cannot fail. The lookup methods take one extra argument, described with each. +- The enums [`ToolSlot`], [`ArgType`], and [`ModelKeyword`] are `#[non_exhaustive]`, so every `match` on them needs a wildcard arm. +- [`ArgDecl::default`] and [`CapabilityDecl::config`] return a [`serde_yaml_ng::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_yaml_ng/latest/serde_yaml_ng/enum.Value.html). A host that names that type needs the `serde_yaml_ng` crate as a dependency. + +Besides the accessors, there are two ways to get a value. All eleven types implement serde [`Deserialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Deserialize.html), so a host can decode a [`Frontmatter`] or any declaration type directly from YAML with a serde YAML deserializer and get the same validation that [`Prompt::parse`](crate::Prompt::parse) applies. [`Prompt::parse`](crate::Prompt::parse) decodes the frontmatter this way itself. [`ArgsDecl`], [`ModelRoles`], and [`ToolSlots`] also implement [`Default`], for building declarations in tests. + +## Frontmatter + +[`Frontmatter`] is the parsed YAML frontmatter of a prompt file. The host gets a reference to it from [`Prompt::frontmatter`](crate::Prompt::frontmatter). It accepts exactly the ten top-level keys below, and any other key fails the parse with [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter). Only `name:` and `description:` are required. + +````yaml +name: researcher +description: researches a topic +promptforge: 0 +max_tool_iterations: 20 +input: + path: paper.md + description: The input paper +output: + path: report.md + description: The output report +capabilities: + - promptforge/web +tools: + fetch: promptforge/web/fetch +args: + query: + type: string +models: + analyst: + keywords: [thinking] +```` + +- [`Frontmatter::name`] returns the prompt's identifier as a [`&str`](str), from the required key `name:`, for example `name: greeter`. Parse errors that happen after the frontmatter decodes are stamped with it. Use it to list prompts or label runs. +- [`Frontmatter::description`] returns the one-line description as a [`&str`](str), from the required key `description:`, for example `description: says hi`. Prompt listings and name retrieval show it. Neither key has a default, so a frontmatter without `name:` or `description:` fails the parse with [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter). +- [`Frontmatter::promptforge`] returns the engine major version as an [`Option`] of [`u32`], from the key `promptforge:`, written `promptforge: 0`. It returns [`None`] when the key is absent. The key's presence marks the file as a PromptForge prompt. Parsing accepts a missing key, but a run does not. The run accepts only version `0`. Any other version fails the run with [`RunErrorKind::Version`](crate::RunErrorKind::Version) and the message "unsupported promptforge version: {0} (this build supports major 0)". A missing version fails the run with [`RunErrorKind::Parse`](crate::RunErrorKind::Parse) and the message "not a promptforge prompt: no promptforge version". +- [`Frontmatter::max_tool_iterations`] returns an [`Option`] of a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32), from the key `max_tool_iterations:`, for example `max_tool_iterations: 20`. It caps the model round trips of each section's `models.loop`, and reaching the cap fails the section with a tool-loop-exhausted error. When present, it overrides [`RunLimits::max_tool_iterations`](crate::RunLimits::max_tool_iterations) for this prompt. When absent, it returns [`None`], and the run uses [`RunLimits::tool_iterations`](crate::RunLimits::tool_iterations), which defaults to 24. Valid values are 1 through 1000, checked at parse. Values such as `0`, `-1`, `1001`, and `100000000000` fail with "max_tool_iterations must be a positive integer (>= 1), got {raw}" or "max_tool_iterations must be <= 1000, got {raw}". +- [`Frontmatter::input`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to a [`FileDecl`], from the key `input:`. The prompt expects this file in the store when it starts, so stage it before the run. It returns [`None`] when the key is absent. +- [`Frontmatter::output`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to a [`FileDecl`], from the key `output:`. The prompt leaves this file in the store when it finishes, so collect it after [`Step::Done`](crate::Step::Done). It returns [`None`] when the key is absent. +- [`Frontmatter::capabilities`] returns a slice of [`CapabilityDecl`] in declaration order, from the sequence key `capabilities:`. It is empty when the key is absent. Activate these capabilities before [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare). +- [`Frontmatter::tools`] returns a reference to the [`ToolSlots`], from the map key `tools:`. It is empty when the key is absent. Read it to know which tools your catalog must contain. +- [`Frontmatter::args`] returns a reference to the [`ArgsDecl`], from the map key `args:`. When the key is absent, it is the implicit declaration described in [Passing the argument string](#passing-the-argument-string). +- [`Frontmatter::models`] returns a reference to the [`ModelRoles`], from the map key `models:`. It is empty when the key is absent. + +## FileDecl + +[`FileDecl`] is one declared store file, the value of the `input:` or `output:` key. The host gets it from [`Frontmatter::input`] or [`Frontmatter::output`]. Each key is a map with exactly two required sub-keys, and any other sub-key fails the parse. + +````yaml +input: + path: paper.md + description: The input paper +output: + path: report.md + description: The output report +```` + +- [`FileDecl::path`] returns the store-internal path as a [`&str`](str), from `path:`, for example `"paper.md"`. Stage an input file at this path before the run, or read an output file from it after the run. +- [`FileDecl::description`] returns the file's purpose as a [`&str`](str), from `description:`. It documents the file and also feeds MCP schema generation for the prompt. + +## CapabilityDecl + +[`CapabilityDecl`] is one entry of the `capabilities:` sequence, naming a capability for the host to activate. The host gets a slice of them from [`Frontmatter::capabilities`] and activates them before [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare). An entry takes one of two forms. + +````yaml +capabilities: + - promptforge/web + - ref: io.github.corp/mcp + optional: true + config: + servers: [alpha] +```` + +A bare id string declares a required capability with no configuration. A map declares the id under `ref:`, which is required, plus `optional:`, a boolean that defaults to `false`, and `config:`, any YAML value, which may be omitted. A map without `ref:` fails with a missing-field error, and a repeated key fails with a duplicate-field error. Any other key, such as `optionl`, fails with an unknown-field error that lists the three valid keys. Any other shape, such as `- 42`, fails with an error that asks for a capability id string or a map. Every one of these failures has the kind [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter). + +- [`CapabilityDecl::id`] returns a reference to the capability's [`GlobalName`](crate::capabilities::GlobalName), which has exactly two segments, `namespace/pack`, such as `promptforge/web` or `io.github.corp/mcp`. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) form is the id text. Use it to find and activate the capability. Each segment is non-empty lowercase ASCII letters and digits plus `-`, `_`, and `.`, and ids carry no version. The parse rejects `web`, `promptforge/web/fetch`, `promptforge//web`, `promptforge/web@1`, and `Promptforge/web`. A wrong segment count fails with "invalid capability id `{text}`: a capability id has exactly 2 segments (namespace/pack)", and any other grammar failure with "invalid capability id `{text}`: {error}". +- [`CapabilityDecl::is_optional`] returns a [`bool`]. When it is `true` and the capability is absent, skip it with a log line instead of failing preparation. A bare string entry is always `false`. A map entry reads `optional:`. +- [`CapabilityDecl::config`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to a [`serde_yaml_ng::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_yaml_ng/latest/serde_yaml_ng/enum.Value.html), from the `config:` key of a map entry, in any YAML shape. It is [`None`] when the key is absent, and always for a bare string entry. Hand it to the capability at activation. It carries prompt-side data only. User-specific configuration, such as credentials and server lists, comes from the host through the run services and is never named in the prompt. + +## ToolSlots + +[`ToolSlots`] maps each prompt-local tool alias to a [`ToolSlot`], from the `tools:` map. The host gets it from [`Frontmatter::tools`]. [`ToolSlots::default`] returns an empty map. Each value is an exact tool path string. + +````yaml +tools: + search: promptforge/web/search + fetch: promptforge/web/fetch +```` + +Each alias follows the grammar in [Prompt-local names](#prompt-local-names). A bad alias fails with "invalid tool alias `{key}`: expected \[A-Za-z\]\[A-Za-z0-9_-\]{0,63}". The alias `open` is reserved, and a prompt that uses it fails the parse with "the `open` key is reserved for the deferred open toolset posture; it is not a usable tool alias". + +- [`ToolSlots::get`] takes `alias`, a [`&str`](str), the alias exactly as written under `tools:`. It returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the [`ToolSlot`], or [`None`] when no slot has that alias. +- [`ToolSlots::iter`] returns an iterator of `(alias, slot)` pairs, a [`&str`](str) and a reference to a [`ToolSlot`], over every declared slot. Use it to check that your catalog covers each named tool. The pairs come in ascending alias order, not declaration order, because the slots are kept in a sorted map. +- [`ToolSlots::len`] returns the number of declared slots as a [`usize`]. +- [`ToolSlots::is_empty`] returns `true` when no slots are declared, including when the `tools:` key is absent. + +This prompt declares `search` before `fetch`, and iteration yields them sorted: + +```` +use promptforge::prompt::ToolSlots; +use promptforge::{ParseErrorKind, Prompt}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: fetcher\n", + "description: fetches a page\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "tools:\n", + " search: promptforge/web/search\n", + " fetch: promptforge/web/fetch\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Fetcher\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "fetcher"); +let prompt = parsed?; +let tools = prompt.frontmatter().tools(); +let aliases: Vec<&str> = tools.iter().map(|(alias, _slot)| alias).collect(); +assert_eq!(aliases, ["fetch", "search"]); +assert_eq!(tools.len(), 2); +assert!(ToolSlots::default().is_empty()); + +let reserved = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: fetcher\n", + "description: fetches a page\n", + "tools:\n", + " open: promptforge/web/fetch\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Fetcher\n", +); +let (failed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(reserved, "fetcher"); +let error = failed.err().ok_or("the reserved alias fails the parse")?; +assert_eq!(error.kind(), ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +## ToolSlot + +[`ToolSlot`] says how one tool slot is filled. The host gets it from [`ToolSlots::get`] or [`ToolSlots::iter`]. It decodes only from a bare YAML string, for example `search: promptforge/web/search`. + +- [`ToolSlot::Exact`] holds a [`ToolId`](crate::tools::ToolId), an exact global tool path with three segments, `namespace/pack/name`. The first two segments name the capability that must contribute the tool, so `promptforge/web/fetch` belongs to `promptforge/web`. Every slot declared today uses this variant. Match it to get the [`ToolId`](crate::tools::ToolId), and make sure that capability is activated and offers the tool. A malformed path, such as `promptforge/web`, `web`, `promptforge/Web/fetch`, or `promptforge/web/`, fails the parse with "invalid exact tool path `{text}`: {error}". A value that is not a string, such as a map or a number, fails with "an exact tool path string". + +[`ToolSlot`] is `#[non_exhaustive]` because an open, host-offered posture is deferred and will join it later. That is why the alias `open` is reserved. Include a wildcard arm in every `match`, and treat an unknown posture as unbound. [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) skips such slots too. + +## ArgsDecl + +[`ArgsDecl`] is the prompt's typed args declaration, mapping each arg name to an [`ArgDecl`]. The host gets it from [`Frontmatter::args`]. [`ArgsDecl::default`] returns the implicit declaration, one optional string arg named `prose`, for which [`ArgsDecl::is_default`] is `true`. An explicit declaration is a map of arg name to arg map. + +````yaml +args: + query: + type: string + limit: + type: integer + optional: true +```` + +Each arg name follows the grammar in [Prompt-local names](#prompt-local-names). A bad name fails with "invalid arg name `{key}`: expected \[A-Za-z\]\[A-Za-z0-9_-\]{0,63}". + +- [`ArgsDecl::is_default`] returns `true` only when the `args:` key was absent. [Passing the argument string](#passing-the-argument-string) explains how its answer decides the argument string. An explicit declaration with the implicit shape is not equal to [`ArgsDecl::default`]. +- [`ArgsDecl::get`] takes `name`, a [`&str`](str), the arg name exactly as written under `args:`. It returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the [`ArgDecl`], or [`None`] when no arg has that name. +- [`ArgsDecl::iter`] returns an iterator of `(name, declaration)` pairs, a [`&str`](str) and a reference to an [`ArgDecl`], over every declared arg. Use it to build a schema or list the arguments. The pairs come in ascending name order, not declaration order, because the args are kept in a sorted map. +- [`ArgsDecl::len`] returns the number of declared args as a [`usize`]. The implicit declaration has length 1. +- [`ArgsDecl::is_empty`] returns `true` when no args are declared. Only an explicit empty map, `args: {}`, produces that. The implicit declaration is not empty. + +## ArgDecl + +[`ArgDecl`] is one declared arg. The host gets it from [`ArgsDecl::get`] or [`ArgsDecl::iter`]. Its map takes exactly four keys: `type:`, which is required, `optional:`, `default:`, and `description:`. Any other key, such as `tipe`, fails the parse. + +````yaml +args: + use_mcp: + type: boolean + default: true + description: Search MCP-connected private sources +```` + +This arg reads back as [`ArgType::Boolean`], not optional, with a default of `true` and the description above. + +- [`ArgDecl::kind`] returns the declared [`ArgType`], from `type:`. The method does not share the key's name because `type` is a Rust keyword. +- [`ArgDecl::is_optional`] returns a [`bool`], from `optional:`, which defaults to `false`. When it is `true`, a call may omit the field entirely. Absent is not the same as the empty string. +- [`ArgDecl::default`] returns an [`Option`] of a reference to a [`serde_yaml_ng::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_yaml_ng/latest/serde_yaml_ng/enum.Value.html), from `default:`, or [`None`] when no default is declared. The parse checks the default against `type:`. A `string` needs a YAML string, a `boolean` a YAML bool, a `number` any YAML number, and an `integer` a whole number that fits an [`i64`] or a [`u64`]. A mismatch fails with "the default does not match the declared type `{type}`". For example, `type: boolean` with `default: 'true'`, `type: integer` with `default: 1.5`, and `type: string` with `default: 42` all fail. +- [`ArgDecl::description`] returns the human-readable description as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), from `description:`, or [`None`]. + +## ArgType + +[`ArgType`] is the closed set of arg types, one for each word allowed in an arg's `type:` key. The host gets it from [`ArgDecl::kind`], and can also compare it against a named variant such as [`ArgType::String`]. [`ArgType`] implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display), which prints the YAML spelling of each type: `string`, `boolean`, `integer`, or `number`. It decodes from exactly those four words, and any other word, such as `type: text`, fails the parse with [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter). It has no [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr) impl. + +- [`ArgType::String`]: `type: string`. Supply a JSON string. A declared default must be a YAML string. +- [`ArgType::Boolean`]: `type: boolean`. Supply a JSON `true` or `false`. A declared default must be a YAML bool, so a quoted `'true'` is rejected. +- [`ArgType::Integer`]: `type: integer`. Supply a whole JSON number. A declared default must be a whole number that fits an [`i64`] or a [`u64`], so `1.5` is rejected. +- [`ArgType::Number`]: `type: number`. Supply any JSON number. A declared default may be any YAML number, integer or float. + +## ModelRoles + +[`ModelRoles`] maps each prompt-local role label to a [`ModelRole`], from the `models:` map. The host gets it from [`Frontmatter::models`]. [`ModelRoles::default`] returns an empty map. The declaration never names a concrete model id. [What prepare checks](#what-prepare-checks) describes how each role is bound and checked. + +````yaml +models: + analyst: + keywords: [frontier, thinking] + min_context: 200000 + description: deep reasoning + spare: {} +```` + +Each label follows the grammar in [Prompt-local names](#prompt-local-names). A bad label fails with "invalid model role label `{key}`: expected \[A-Za-z\]\[A-Za-z0-9_-\]{0,63}". + +- [`ModelRoles::get`] takes `label`, a [`&str`](str), the role label exactly as written under `models:`. It returns an [`Option`] of a reference to the [`ModelRole`], or [`None`] when no role has that label. +- [`ModelRoles::iter`] returns an iterator of `(label, role)` pairs, a [`&str`](str) and a reference to a [`ModelRole`], over every declared role. Use it to check a candidate model against each role before a run. The pairs come in ascending label order, because the roles are kept in a sorted map. +- [`ModelRoles::len`] returns the number of declared roles as a [`usize`]. +- [`ModelRoles::is_empty`] returns `true` when no roles are declared, including when the `models:` key is absent. + +```` +use std::num::NonZeroU32; + +use promptforge::Prompt; +use promptforge::prompt::{ModelKeyword, ModelRoles}; + +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: writer\n", + "description: writes a draft\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "models:\n", + " spare: {}\n", + " drafter:\n", + " keywords: [no-thinking, creative, chat]\n", + " min_context: 32000\n", + " description: quick drafts\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Writer\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "writer"); +let prompt = parsed?; +let roles = prompt.frontmatter().models(); +let labels: Vec<&str> = roles.iter().map(|(label, _role)| label).collect(); +assert_eq!(labels, ["drafter", "spare"]); + +let drafter = roles.get("drafter").ok_or("drafter is declared")?; +assert_eq!( + drafter.keywords(), + &[ModelKeyword::NoThinking, ModelKeyword::Creative, ModelKeyword::Chat], +); +assert_eq!(drafter.min_context(), NonZeroU32::new(32_000)); +assert_eq!(drafter.description(), Some("quick drafts")); + +let spare = roles.get("spare").ok_or("spare is declared")?; +assert!(spare.keywords().is_empty()); +assert_eq!(spare.min_context(), None); +assert_eq!(spare.description(), None); +assert!(ModelRoles::default().is_empty()); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +## ModelRole + +[`ModelRole`] is one declared model role. The host gets it from [`ModelRoles::get`] or [`ModelRoles::iter`]. Its map takes exactly three keys, all optional: `keywords:`, `min_context:`, and `description:`. Any other key, such as `keyword`, fails the parse. An empty map, `{}`, is valid. Parsing checks only this shape. + +- [`ModelRole::keywords`] returns a slice of [`ModelKeyword`], from the sequence `keywords:`, in the order written. It is empty when the key is absent. At run time the keywords also appear, in kebab-case, as the capability list of the bound model handle that the prompt sees. +- [`ModelRole::min_context`] returns the minimum context window in tokens as an [`Option`] of a [`NonZeroU32`](std::num::NonZeroU32), from `min_context:`, for example `min_context: 200000`. It returns [`None`] when the key is absent, and `min_context: 0` fails the parse. At prepare, a model whose context window is below the minimum yields an [`UnmetRequirement`](crate::UnmetRequirement) whose [`UnmetRequirement::check`](crate::UnmetRequirement::check) is [`RequirementCheck::ContextMinimum`](crate::RequirementCheck::ContextMinimum), with the minimum in [`UnmetRequirement::required`](crate::UnmetRequirement::required) and the model's context window in [`UnmetRequirement::actual`](crate::UnmetRequirement::actual). +- [`ModelRole::description`] returns the role's description as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), from `description:`, or [`None`]. When present, it replaces the model descriptor's own description on the bound model handle that the prompt sees. + +## ModelKeyword + +[`ModelKeyword`] is the closed vocabulary for a role's `keywords:` list. The host gets it from [`ModelRole::keywords`], and can also name a variant to compare against. It decodes from exactly seven kebab-case words, and any other word, such as `multimodal`, fails the parse with [`ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter`](crate::ParseErrorKind::Frontmatter). Adding a keyword is a language change. It has neither a [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) nor a [`FromStr`](std::str::FromStr) impl. It implements [`Ord`], ordered as the variants are listed below. + +The two hard keywords are checked against the bound model at prepare, as [What prepare checks](#what-prepare-checks) describes. A failure is an [`UnmetRequirement`](crate::UnmetRequirement) whose [`UnmetRequirement::check`](crate::UnmetRequirement::check) is [`RequirementCheck::HardKeyword`](crate::RequirementCheck::HardKeyword), with the keyword in [`UnmetRequirement::required`](crate::UnmetRequirement::required) and the model's thinking mode name in [`UnmetRequirement::actual`](crate::UnmetRequirement::actual). That name is `"Never"` for a failed `thinking` and `"Always"` for a failed `no-thinking`. + +- [`ModelKeyword::Thinking`]: YAML `thinking`. The role needs a model that supports extended thinking. Prepare reports a failure when the model's thinking mode is [`ThinkingMode::Never`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Never), so pick a model whose mode is [`ThinkingMode::Always`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Always) or [`ThinkingMode::Switchable`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Switchable). The bound invocation has thinking switched on. +- [`ModelKeyword::NoThinking`]: YAML `no-thinking`. The role needs a model that does not think. Prepare reports a failure when the model's thinking mode is [`ThinkingMode::Always`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Always), so pick a model whose mode is [`ThinkingMode::Never`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Never) or [`ThinkingMode::Switchable`](crate::model::ThinkingMode::Switchable).

Three inputs plus the host's answers, replayed in order, produce the same effects and events. The seed and the start instant are the first two inputs, and this module holds the third, [`Flags`]. Flags let a future engine change that alters a run's behavior stay replayable. A live run that uses the new behavior records its flag, and a replay honors the new behavior only if the original run recorded that flag.

A live host never calls [`RunContext::flags`](crate::RunContext::flags), so it has nothing to set. +2. **Record the inputs.** [`RunContext::run_flags`](crate::RunContext::run_flags) returns the context's [`Flags`]. It is named `run_flags` because the builder method is already named `flags`. [`Flags::bits`] turns the set into one [`u32`], which fits an integer column next to the seed from [`RunContext::seed`](crate::RunContext::seed) and the start instant from [`RunContext::started_at`](crate::RunContext::started_at). The in-repo harness records the seed, flags, and start instant when it begins its run record, but it writes the literal `0` for the flags instead of reading [`RunContext::run_flags`](crate::RunContext::run_flags). Read the value from the context instead, so the records stay correct once flags exist. +3. **Restore the flags.** [`Flags::from_bits`] rebuilds the set from the stored integer, and [`RunContext::flags`](crate::RunContext::flags) sets it on the replay's context. [`RunContext::run_flags`](crate::RunContext::run_flags) then returns the recorded set. + +# A pass-through input + +The engine stores whatever set is passed to [`RunContext::flags`](crate::RunContext::flags) and returns it unchanged.

The set shows up in only two places: [`RunContext::run_flags`](crate::RunContext::run_flags), and the context's [`Debug`](std::fmt::Debug) output, which prints the flags between the seed and the start instant. So a non-empty set changes no behavior today. The context simply keeps it: + +```` +use promptforge::replay::Flags; +use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; +use promptforge::RunContext; + +let recorded = Flags::from_bits(0b101); +let ctx = RunContext::new("greeter", 42, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH).flags(recorded); +assert_eq!(ctx.run_flags(), recorded); +assert_eq!(ctx.seed(), 42); +```` + +# Storing a flag set + +A flag set is one [`u32`] on the wire and in the run record. [`Flags::bits`] gives the integer to store, and [`Flags::from_bits`] rebuilds the set from it. Any [`u32`] is valid. [`Flags::from_bits`] keeps every bit, including bits this build does not name, and neither rejects nor masks them. So `Flags::from_bits(0b101).bits()` is `0b101`, and a record written by a newer engine keeps its flags through an older reader. + +Bit numbering never changes. Each flag that a future change introduces will be an associated constant on [`Flags`] that sets one bit `n`, written `1 << n`.

[`Flags::EMPTY`] and [`Flags::default`] are the same empty set, with bits `0`, so either works in a comparison. Sets combine with the `|` operator, which gives their union, and with `|=`.

It is `true` when every flag in `other` is set in `self`. Any set is a valid argument, and [`Flags::EMPTY`] is contained in every set. It cannot fail.

An id missing from the table gets a [`ToolError`] instead, built with [`ToolError::message`]. +6. **Read the result.** The echo function answers with [`ToolOutput::trusted`], so the script receives the text unchanged and returns it. The run ends with [`RunResult::Ok`](crate::RunResult::Ok) holding `"hi"`. + +# How prepare binds tool slots + +A prompt declares its tool slots under the `tools:` frontmatter key. Each slot binds a prompt-local alias to an exact tool path. The first two segments of a tool path name the capability that contributes the tool, so `example/web/fetch` belongs to `example/web`. [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) fills each slot by identity with [`ToolCatalog::get`], and each slot ends one of three ways. + +- **The catalog holds the tool.** The slot is bound. The [`ToolBindings`] hold the catalog's descriptor exactly as the host supplied it. +- **The tool's capability contributed nothing to the catalog.** The slot stays unbound, the capability is added to [`Requirements::missing_required`](crate::Requirements::missing_required), and the requirements are not satisfied. +- **The capability contributed other tools, but not this one.** The slot stays unbound and prepare reports nothing. The failure happens at run time, with the alias named, when the prompt advertises the alias to a model. + +So an empty [`ToolBindings`] after prepare can mean three things: the prompt declared no tool slots, a slot's capability was missing and was reported, or a slot's capability was present without that tool and nothing was reported. + +Prepare's slot fill is the only writer of the bindings. A host cannot add bindings, and a context that was never prepared holds empty bindings and an empty catalog. Two aliases can bind the same tool. The bindings then hold that tool's descriptor once, [`ToolBindings::len`] counts both aliases, and both aliases resolve to the same id. + +When the run advertises a bound tool to a model, it uses the prompt-local alias and the descriptor held by the binding. The model never sees the tool's global id. + +This prompt declares two slots in one capability, and the catalog holds only one of the two tools: + +```` use promptforge::timestamp::Timestamp; use promptforge::tools::{ToolCatalog, ToolDescriptor, ToolId}; use promptforge::{Environment, Prompt, RunContext}; -let source = "---\nname: reader\ndescription: reads a page\npromptforge: 0\ncapabilities:\n - example/web\ntools:\n fetch: example/web/fetch\n---\n\n# Reader\n\n## Only\n\nDone.\n"; -let (prompt, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "reader"); -let prompt = prompt?; +let source = concat!( + "---\n", + "name: reader\n", + "description: reads a page\n", + "promptforge: 0\n", + "tools:\n", + " fetch: example/web/fetch\n", + " search: example/web/search\n", + "---\n", + "\n", + "# Reader\n", +); +let (parsed, _parse_events) = Prompt::parse(source, "reader"); +let prompt = parsed?; + let id = ToolId::parse("example/web/fetch")?; let fetch = ToolDescriptor::new( id.clone(), @@ -29,13 +164,350 @@ let fetch = ToolDescriptor::new( "Fetch a web page over HTTP.", serde_json::json!({"type": "object", "properties": {"url": {"type": "string"}}}), ); -let env = Environment::new().tools(ToolCatalog::new(&[fetch])?); -let (ctx, requirements) = env.prepare(&prompt, RunContext::new("reader", 1, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH)); +let env = Environment::new().tools(ToolCatalog::new(&[fetch.clone()])?); +let (ctx, requirements) = env.prepare(&prompt, RunContext::new("reader", 7, Timestamp::UNIX_EPOCH)); + assert!(requirements.is_satisfied()); -assert_eq!(ctx.tool_bindings().alias_id("fetch"), Some(&id)); +let bindings = ctx.tool_bindings(); +assert_eq!(bindings.len(), 1); +assert_eq!(bindings.alias_id("fetch"), Some(&id)); +assert_eq!(bindings.resolve("fetch"), Some(&fetch)); +assert_eq!(bindings.tool(&id), Some(&fetch)); +assert!(bindings.alias_id("search").is_none()); +assert_eq!(ctx.tools().tools(), [fetch]); +# Ok::<(), Box>(()) +```` + +The `search` slot's capability `example/web` is in the catalog, so prepare reports nothing and the requirements are satisfied. The `search` alias stays unbound, and advertising it fails the run. + +# What a prompt does with its tools + +A host rarely writes prompts, but it helps to know which Lua calls turn into tool effects. Binding happens at prepare. At run time, Lua only chooses which bound aliases the model sees. `tools.always(alias)` advertises an alias to every section and is usually called from the H1. `tools.add(alias)` advertises it to the current section. Using an alias that the prompt's `tools:` frontmatter does not declare fails the run. + +The model tool loop lives inside `models.loop`. The run dispatches each tool call requested by the model, appends the results to the message list, and repeats until the model returns terminal text. Each of those calls reaches the host as an [`Effect::ToolCall`](crate::effect::Effect::ToolCall). Inside that loop, untrusted tool output reaches the model wrapped in nonce-tagged `` markers. + +Three more Lua calls work with tools. + +- `tools.call(alias, args)` calls any bound tool directly without advertising it. The worked example above uses it. It also becomes an [`Effect::ToolCall`](crate::effect::Effect::ToolCall). +- `tools['add_local'](name, description, params, fn)` defines a local tool backed by a Lua function. The engine answers a local tool itself, so it never becomes an [`Effect::ToolCall`](crate::effect::Effect::ToolCall). +- `tools.calls[alias]` reads the section's call count for an alias. Counts are taken at dispatch, before the host runs the tool. + +# Trusted and untrusted output + +Every successful answer is a [`ToolOutput`], and the host must mark it as trusted or untrusted when it builds one. [`ToolOutput`] has exactly two constructors, so the marking cannot be forgotten. + +- [`ToolOutput::trusted`] is for text the host vouches for, produced by its own first-party code. The engine appends it to the model verbatim. +- [`ToolOutput::untrusted`] is for external data that an attacker can influence, such as web pages and third-party API responses. The engine wraps it in a nonce-guarded envelope before any model or the calling script sees it. + +The answer record keeps the marking, so a run log shows which outputs the host vouched for: + +```` +use promptforge::effect::{AnswerRecord, EffectAnswer}; +use promptforge::tools::{OutputTrust, ToolOutput}; + +let page = ToolOutput::untrusted(""); +assert_eq!(page.trust(), OutputTrust::Untrusted); +assert_eq!(page.text(), ""); + +let AnswerRecord::ToolCall(Ok(record)) = EffectAnswer::ToolCall(Ok(page)).record() else { + panic!("a successful call records its output"); +}; +assert!(!record.trusted); +```` + +**Structured output needs trusted output.** A descriptor built with [`ToolDescriptor::structured`] marks the tool's output as one JSON value. A script-initiated call then resumes the output into the script as a Lua table instead of a string, and output text that is not valid JSON becomes the tool's error. The model tool loop ignores the marking and always adds tool results to the conversation as text. The nonce wrap for untrusted output runs before the JSON parse. So an untrusted output from a structured tool fails a script call with a "returned invalid JSON" tool error, even when its raw text is valid JSON. Answer a structured tool with [`ToolOutput::trusted`]. + +# Reporting a failure + +A tool that fails answers with a [`ToolError`] instead of a [`ToolOutput`].

The failure is reported as an [`Event::ToolResult`](crate::event::Event::ToolResult). +- **A script-issued call.** The error propagates to the Lua caller, and no [`Event::ToolResult`](crate::event::Event::ToolResult) is reported. + +[`ToolErrorKind`] classifies a failure for host code, set with [`ToolError::with_kind`] and read with [`ToolError::kind`]. The engine does not read the kind when it dispatches.

Supply the full three-segment tool id. +- [`ToolIdErrorKind::Empty`]: a segment was empty, as in `promptforge//fetch`. Fill in the missing segment. +- [`ToolIdErrorKind::Separator`]: a wire name contained the `/` separator. [`ToolId::parse`] never returns it, because parse splits on `/`. A wire name with a `/` reaches the host as [`ToolCatalogError::InvalidWireName`] instead, with the reason `must not contain the '/' separator`. +- [`ToolIdErrorKind::Control`]: a segment contained a character outside the allowed set. Despite the name, this covers every disallowed character: control characters, uppercase letters, `@`, non-ASCII, and anything other than lowercase ASCII letters, digits, `-`, `_`, and `.`. Rewrite the id with allowed characters. + +## ToolDescriptor + +[`ToolDescriptor`] is one tool as data: its stable identity, its wire name, the description shown to the model, the JSON Schema for its arguments, its output kind, and the co-activation conflicts of the capability that contributed it. It never holds an implementation. The host keeps implementations in its own table, keyed by [`ToolId`]. A host builds a descriptor with [`ToolDescriptor::new`] and the two builder methods, or deserializes one. + +[`ToolDescriptor::new`] takes four arguments and cannot fail.

The default is empty. It is stored for the record.

It is a JSON object with the keys `id`, `wire_name`, `description`, `parameters_schema`, `structured_output`, and `conflicts`, where `id` is the `namespace/pack/name` string.

The callback receives each text fragment as a [`StreamDelta::Text`](crate::model::StreamDelta::Text) and each reasoning fragment as a [`StreamDelta::Reasoning`](crate::model::StreamDelta::Reasoning), in stream order. Tool-call fragments are never passed to it. The callback is [`Fn`], not [`FnMut`], and is called synchronously, so collecting deltas needs interior mutability such as [`RefCell`](std::cell::RefCell) or [`Mutex`](std::sync::Mutex). Pass `|_delta| {}` when the host does not show the reply live. + +The last two arguments hand the codec the host's clock. `started` is the clock reading from just before the request was sent, and `now` is the clock itself. The codec calls `now` once for each payload that holds generated content, meaning text, reasoning, or a tool-call fragment, and once more at the end. From those readings, the completion's [`ClientTiming`](crate::metrics::ClientTiming) holds three figures in milliseconds. + +- [`ClientTiming::ttft_ms`](crate::metrics::ClientTiming::ttft_ms) is the time to first token: the first content payload's reading minus `started`. It is [`None`] if no payload held content. +- [`ClientTiming::mean_itl_ms`](crate::metrics::ClientTiming::mean_itl_ms) is the mean inter-token latency: the last content payload's reading minus the first, divided by one less than the number of content payloads.

Truncated text with the finish reason `"length"` is still returned as a completion. +- **Interleaved tool calls.** Tool-call fragments are joined by their `index`, so calls whose fragments were streamed interleaved come back whole. Each call's id, name, and arguments grow by string concatenation. +- **Mid-stream errors.** A backend that fails after it has sent its 200 status reports the failure as an `error` envelope inside the stream. The round fails with kind [`CompletionErrorKind::Transport`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Transport), and the error's cause holds the envelope's message passed through [`escape_controls`]. The payload `{"error":{"message":"upstream\ndied"}}`, whose message holds a real newline, gives a cause containing `upstream\ndied` with the newline escaped as a backslash and an `n`. +- **Undecodable chunks.** A payload that is not valid JSON fails as [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource`] with the message "stream chunk was not valid JSON". The [`serde_json::Error`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/struct.Error.html) stays as the error's source, so a host can downcast it through the error chain instead of reading flattened text. +- **Empty turns.** A turn with neither non-empty tool calls nor non-empty text fails as [`ClientError::EmptyModelReply`]. +- **Debug capture.** The completion stores the value passed as `request_body` beside the reassembled response body, so a run's debug capture holds exactly what was sent and received. Pass the exact value that [`build_request_body`] returned. + +The stream reader skips noise in the server-sent-events format.

Blank lines, `:` comments, and fields other than `data:`, such as `event:`, `id:`, and `retry:`, are skipped, and leading whitespace after `data:` is trimmed. Only the first choice, the one with `index` 0, is read, and other choices are ignored. The `usage`, `timings`, and `metrics` sections come from whichever chunk held them last, including the final usage chunk that has no choices. A malformed metadata section never fails the completion. + +# Error bodies + +On a non-success status, the response body is an error document that the transport reads whole instead of as a stream. [`read_body_capped`] reads a whole body from a chunk source under a hard byte cap. It also serves any JSON document the transport decodes whole, such as a model list. Pass the advertised `Content-Length` as its `content_length` argument, and a body that advertises more than the cap is refused before a single chunk is read. A gateway that omits or lies about its length still cannot force an unbounded read, because chunks are counted as they arrive and the read fails once the total would pass the cap. + +A backend error body is untrusted text. [`escape_controls`] bounds it to a number of characters and escapes every control character, so the body cannot forge log lines or smuggle terminal control sequences into a diagnostic. An empty body becomes the fixed marker `(empty body)`. The result goes into [`ClientError::Backend`], whose [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text leaves the body out.

It implements [`std::error::Error`], and its [`source`](std::error::Error::source) is the wrapped error. + +## ClientError + +[`ClientError`] says why a model round failed, as a transport builds it. A transport constructs a variant directly, then converts it into a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError) through [`From`] or [`Into`]. [`CompletionError::kind`](crate::model::CompletionError::kind) then classifies it into a [`CompletionErrorKind`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind), and [`CompletionError::is_retryable`](crate::model::CompletionError::is_retryable) gives its retry class. [`ClientError`] is not `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` over it can be exhaustive. + +The codec functions raise [`ClientError::Http`] for a mid-stream error envelope, and they raise [`ClientError::MalformedResponse`], [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource`], and [`ClientError::EmptyModelReply`], each already inside the returned [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError). The library raises [`ClientError::ModelSetLock`]. A transport builds the others, and it also builds the two malformed variants for a body it decodes itself. + +**Configuration.** These four variants classify as [`CompletionErrorKind::Config`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Config) and are not retryable. The host fixes its environment or configuration. + +- [`ClientError::MissingEnv`] holds a [`String`], the name of a required environment variable that is not set. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text is `missing environment variable: {0}`. The in-repo gateway client builds it for an unset `PROMPTFORGE_GATEWAY_URL`, and for an unset `PROMPTFORGE_GATEWAY_API_KEY` when the URL is not loopback. +- [`ClientError::InvalidEnv`] holds a [`String`], the name of an environment variable that is set but not valid Unicode. Build it when reading the variable gives [`VarError::NotUnicode`](std::env::VarError::NotUnicode). Its text is `environment variable is set but not valid Unicode: {0}`. +- [`ClientError::InvalidConfig`] holds a [`String`], the full diagnostic for a configuration value that failed validation, and that string is the whole [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text. The gateway client uses it for a URL with the wrong scheme, as `gateway URL must use the http or https scheme: ...`. Use [`ClientError::Config`] instead when there is an underlying error worth keeping as the cause. +- [`ClientError::Config`] reports invalid configuration input and keeps the concrete cause as its source instead of flattening it into the text. The gateway client builds it for an unparseable URL, with the message `gateway URL is not a valid URL: ...`, and for an unusable bearer key, with the message `gateway bearer key is unusable`. + - [`ClientError::Config::message`](ClientError#variant.Config.field.message), a [`String`], is the human-readable diagnostic and the whole [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) text. Keep raw dumps of the cause out of it. + - [`ClientError::Config::source`](ClientError#variant.Config.field.source), a [`Box`] holding any [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`] and [`Sync`], is the originating failure, such as a secret or URL validation error. Fill it with [`Box::new`]. It is what [`source`](std::error::Error::source) returns, on the [`ClientError`] and on the [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError) that wraps it. + +**Access.** + +- [`ClientError::GatewayDisabled`] means the host has turned model access off. A host answers a chat effect with it before sending anything. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::Disabled`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Disabled) and is not retryable. The round was deliberately not performed, so there is nothing to fix. Its text is `gateway access is disabled`. + +**Transport and backend.** + +- [`ClientError::Http`] holds the transport's own boxed error: a [`Box`] holding any [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`] and [`Sync`]. A transport builds it when a send fails or when [`ChunkSource::next_chunk`] fails, wrapping a timeout in [`ClientTimeout`] first. The codec raises it for a mid-stream error envelope, with a boxed [`std::io::Error`] whose message is `completion stream reported an error: ` followed by the envelope's message passed through [`escape_controls`] with a limit of 2000, or `stream error envelope omitted its message`. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::Transport`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Transport) and is retryable, and [`CompletionError::is_timeout`](crate::model::CompletionError::is_timeout) is `true` when the boxed value is a [`ClientTimeout`]. Its text is `http transport failure`, and the cause is its [`source`](std::error::Error::source). +- [`ClientError::Backend`] reports a non-success status. A transport builds it after reading the error body with [`read_body_capped`] and bounding it with [`escape_controls`]. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::Backend`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Backend), and it is retryable only when the status is 500 or above. Its text is `non-success backend status {status}` and never includes the body. + - [`ClientError::Backend::status`](ClientError#variant.Backend.field.status), a [`u16`], is the HTTP status code the backend returned. [`CompletionError::status`](crate::model::CompletionError::status) returns it. + - [`ClientError::Backend::body`](ClientError#variant.Backend.field.body), a [`String`], is the bounded, control-escaped response body. Fill it the way the gateway client does: decode the bytes from [`read_body_capped`] with [`String::from_utf8_lossy`], then pass the text to [`escape_controls`] with a limit of 2000. It is reachable only through [`CompletionError::backend_body`](crate::model::CompletionError::backend_body). +- [`ClientError::BackendBodyRead`] reports that the error body of a non-success status could not be read. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::Transport`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Transport) and is retryable, [`CompletionError::status`](crate::model::CompletionError::status) still returns the status, and [`CompletionError::is_timeout`](crate::model::CompletionError::is_timeout) is `true` when the boxed source is a [`ClientTimeout`]. Its text is `unreadable backend error body (status {status})`. + - [`ClientError::BackendBodyRead::status`](ClientError#variant.BackendBodyRead.field.status), a [`u16`], is the non-success HTTP status whose body could not be read. + - [`ClientError::BackendBodyRead::source`](ClientError#variant.BackendBodyRead.field.source), a [`Box`] holding any [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`] and [`Sync`], is the transport's read failure. Fill it with [`Box::new`] of the error, or of a [`ClientTimeout`] around it when the read timed out. + +**Response.** + +- [`ClientError::MalformedResponse`] holds a [`String`] diagnostic for a response that could not be understood. The codec raises it when a body passes its byte cap, when a stream ends without the sentinel, when a tool-call batch is truncated, when a stream chunk has a recognized field of the wrong shape, and when the reassembled turn has no usable choice, as in `no choices in response`. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse) and is retryable. Its text is `malformed response: {0}`. +- [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource`] reports a response that could not be decoded and keeps the decoder's error as its cause. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse) and is retryable. Its text is `malformed response: {message}`. + - [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource::message`](ClientError#variant.MalformedResponseSource.field.message), a [`String`], is the human-readable diagnostic, without the raw body. The codec uses `stream chunk was not valid JSON`. + - [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource::source`](ClientError#variant.MalformedResponseSource.field.source), a [`Box`] holding any [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`] and [`Sync`], is the originating decode failure, such as a [`serde_json::Error`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/struct.Error.html). Fill it with [`Box::new`]. It survives as the [`source`](std::error::Error::source) of the wrapping [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError), where a caller can downcast it. +- [`ClientError::EmptyModelReply`] means the model returned neither non-empty tool calls nor non-empty text. [`read_completion_stream`] raises it, and a transport never builds it. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::EmptyReply`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::EmptyReply) and is not retryable. Its text is the detail phrase. The run treats it as a completed round with no reply. An empty turn with the finish reason `"stop"` after successful tool calls is a clean exit, while a missing finish reason or `"length"` stays a failure. + - [`ClientError::EmptyModelReply::detail`](ClientError#variant.EmptyModelReply.field.detail), a [`&'static str`](str), is either `empty model reply` or `empty model reply: reasoning content was present but ignored`. + - [`ClientError::EmptyModelReply::finish_reason`](ClientError#variant.EmptyModelReply.field.finish_reason), an [`Option`] of [`String`], is the choice's finish reason when the backend supplied one, such as `"stop"` or `"length"`. [`CompletionError::finish_reason`](crate::model::CompletionError::finish_reason) returns it. + +**Library.** + +- [`ClientError::ModelSetLock`] holds a [`String`] message for a poisoned lock on the shared model set. The library raises it with the message `model set mutex was poisoned`, and a transport never builds it. It classifies as [`CompletionErrorKind::Config`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Config) and is not retryable. Its text is the bare message. The run reclassifies it as its own scripting-layer error with the same wording. + +[`ClientError`] implements [`std::error::Error`]. Its [`source`](std::error::Error::source) is the boxed cause for [`ClientError::Config`], [`ClientError::Http`], [`ClientError::MalformedResponseSource`], and [`ClientError::BackendBodyRead`], and [`None`] for every other variant. It converts into a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError) through [`From`], and back the same way. It implements neither serde nor [`Default`]. + +## ChunkSource + +[`ChunkSource`] is a response body read one chunk at a time. It is the one trait a transport implements, and the only I/O the codec touches. The host implements it over its own HTTP client's response body, and the library provides no implementation. The in-repo gateway client wraps its HTTP response together with a per-chunk timeout. + +- [`ChunkSource::Chunk`] is the buffer type for one chunk of body bytes. Set it to the HTTP client's own chunk type. Any type that implements [`AsRef`] of a byte slice works, such as `&'static str` or a [`Vec`] of [`u8`]. +- [`ChunkSource::next_chunk`] takes `&mut self` and no other arguments. It returns a [`Future`](std::future::Future) that must be [`Send`]. The future resolves to [`Ok`] of [`Some`] chunk for the next chunk of body bytes, or to [`Ok`] of [`None`] once the body is exhausted. On a read failure it resolves to an [`Err`] holding a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError): box the transport's error into [`ClientError::Http`] and convert it, wrapping a timeout in [`ClientTimeout`] first. The readers propagate an [`Err`] unchanged and stop reading. [`read_completion_stream`] also stops calling once it sees the sentinel. + +## build_request_body + +[`build_request_body`] builds the chat-completions request body for one chat effect. It takes three arguments. + +- `messages`, a slice of [`Message`](crate::model::Message) values, is the conversation for this round. Pass the chat effect's messages. They are serialized as they are into the body's `messages` array. +- `tools`, an [`Option`] of a slice of [`ToolSchema`](crate::model::ToolSchema) values, is the set of tools offered to the model. Pass the chat effect's tools in [`Some`]. A non-empty slice fills `tools` and sets `tool_choice`. [`None`] or an empty slice leaves both out. +- `options`, a reference to [`CompletionOptions`](crate::model::CompletionOptions), holds the frozen per-call options. Pass the chat effect's options, or build them with [`CompletionOptions::new`](crate::model::CompletionOptions::new) and its setters. Unset options are left out of the body. + +It returns a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html) object with `model`, `messages`, `"stream": true`, `"stream_options": {"include_usage": true}`, and the optional keys described in [The request body](#the-request-body). Send it and pass the same value to [`read_completion_stream`]. The in-repo gateway client posts it to `{base_url}/chat/completions`. The function cannot fail, and it is `#[must_use]`. + +## escape_controls + +[`escape_controls`] bounds a diagnostic text to a character count and escapes its control characters. It takes two arguments. + +- `body`, a [`&str`](str), is the diagnostic text, typically a backend error body. Decode raw bytes with [`String::from_utf8_lossy`] first. +- `max`, a [`usize`], is the most characters of the text to keep, counted as Unicode scalar values, not bytes. The in-repo gateway client and the codec both use 2000. + +It returns a [`String`]. Empty text gives `(empty body)`, whatever `max` is. Otherwise the result is the first `max` characters of the text, with each control character replaced by its [`char::escape_default`] form, such as `\n`, `\r`, or `\u{7}`. Truncation counts input characters before escaping, so the output can be longer than `max` characters. Only characters for which [`char::is_control`] is `true` are escaped, and backslashes and quotes pass through unchanged. Store the result in [`ClientError::Backend::body`](ClientError#variant.Backend.field.body). The function cannot fail, and it is `#[must_use]`. + +## read_body_capped + +[`read_body_capped`] is an async function that reads a whole response body from a [`ChunkSource`] and refuses it once it would exceed a byte cap. Use it for a body the transport decodes whole, such as the error body of a non-success status or a JSON model list. It takes three arguments. + +- `source`, a mutable reference to any [`ChunkSource`], is the response body. +- `content_length`, an [`Option`] of [`u64`], is the advertised body length when the transport knows it, such as the HTTP client's content length, and [`None`] otherwise. An advertised length over the cap fails before any chunk is read. +- `cap`, a [`u64`], is the most bytes accepted. A body of exactly `cap` bytes is accepted. The in-repo gateway client passes its configured maximum response size. + +It returns a [`Result`] holding a [`Vec`] of [`u8`] with the whole body. For an error body, the host decodes it with [`String::from_utf8_lossy`], passes it to [`escape_controls`], and builds [`ClientError::Backend`]. For a JSON document, the host hands it to its JSON decoder. + +It fails with a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError) of kind [`CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse) in two cases. When `content_length` exceeds `cap`, the message is `response body of {len} bytes exceeds the {cap}-byte limit` and nothing is read. When the chunks received would pass `cap`, the message is `response body exceeds the {cap}-byte limit`, and the chunk that would pass it is not appended. A read failure from the source comes back unchanged. Reading stops at the first failure. + +## read_completion_stream + +[`read_completion_stream`] is an async function that reads a completion's server-sent-events stream to its sentinel under a byte cap. It forwards each live delta to a callback and finishes the reassembled turn into a [`Completion`](crate::model::Completion). It takes six arguments. + +- `source`, a mutable reference to any [`ChunkSource`], is the success response's body. +- `request_body`, a [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/enum.Value.html), is the request body as sent. Pass the value that [`build_request_body`] returned. It is stored unchanged on the completion. +- `max_bytes`, a [`u64`], is the most stream bytes accepted, counted across all chunks. A stream of exactly `max_bytes` bytes is accepted. The in-repo gateway client passes its configured maximum response size, as it does for [`read_body_capped`]. +- `on_delta`, any [`Fn`] that takes a [`StreamDelta`](crate::model::StreamDelta), is called synchronously for each non-empty text or reasoning fragment of the first choice, in arrival order. Pass `|_delta| {}` to ignore them. +- `started`, an [`Instant`](std::time::Instant), is the transport's clock reading from just before it sent the request. +- `now`, any [`Fn`] that returns an [`Instant`](std::time::Instant), is the transport's clock. Pass [`Instant::now`](std::time::Instant::now), or a fake clock in tests. + +It returns a [`Result`] holding the [`Completion`](crate::model::Completion). The completion holds the result, either text or tool calls, the finish reason, the reasoning text, the serving model's name, usage, llama.cpp timings, vLLM metrics, the client timing, metadata diagnostics, the request body, and the reassembled response body. The host answers the chat effect with it through [`EffectAnswer::Chat`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Chat). [Live replies and timing](#live-replies-and-timing) explains the client timing. + +It fails with a [`CompletionError`](crate::model::CompletionError). [What the stream reader checks](#what-the-stream-reader-checks) gives the messages. + +- Kind [`CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::MalformedResponse): the stream passes `max_bytes`, ends without the sentinel, has a payload that is not valid JSON, or has a recognized field of the wrong shape, such as "stream chunk `choices` was present but not an array". A tool-call batch that finishes with `length` or `content_filter`, and a turn with no usable choice, fail the same way. +- Kind [`CompletionErrorKind::Transport`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::Transport): a payload is a mid-stream `error` envelope. The escaped envelope message is the cause. +- Kind [`CompletionErrorKind::EmptyReply`](crate::model::CompletionErrorKind::EmptyReply): the turn has neither non-empty tool calls nor non-empty text. +- A read failure from the source comes back unchanged. + +[`ClientTimeout::0`]: ClientTimeout diff --git a/crates/promptforge/src/vfs.md b/crates/promptforge/src/vfs.md index cea0f73e..a3ef1760 100644 --- a/crates/promptforge/src/vfs.md +++ b/crates/promptforge/src/vfs.md @@ -1,32 +1,163 @@ -The virtual filesystem a run's store lives in, and the host extension point behind it. +The virtual filesystem behind a run's store: handles, backends, mounts, policies, and the answer to a store effect. -Every file a prompt reads or writes through its `store` table goes through one virtual namespace: absolute POSIX-style paths, served by backends mounted at prefixes.

Every failure is a [`VfsError`]. +Before a run, the host decides what the run's filesystem holds. [`Environment::base_vfs`](crate::Environment::base_vfs) mounts host directories under `/` for every run. [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) then gives the [`RunContext`](crate::RunContext) a per-run handle that adds a fresh store at `/_promptforge/store`. A host that activates capabilities builds that per-run handle first with [`Environment::run_vfs`](crate::Environment::run_vfs), hands it to the capabilities, and sets it with [`RunContext::vfs`](crate::RunContext::vfs). [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) keeps a handle set this way, so the capabilities and the run share one store. Either way, the host seeds files through [`RunContext::vfs_handle`](crate::RunContext::vfs_handle) before [`Run::new`](crate::Run::new), and reads output through it after the run. -A [`MemoryBackend`] keeps its files in memory, and its clones share the same storage: +During the run, every `store.*` call in a prompt reaches the host from [`Run::step`](crate::Run::step) inside [`Step::Pending`](crate::Step::Pending) as an [`Effect::Store`](crate::effect::Effect::Store).

The host performs the operation with [`perform_store_op`] and hands the whole [`Result`] back through [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume) as an [`EffectAnswer::Store`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Store).

The [`Origin`] labels the operations for observers and never allows or refuses anything. +3. **Write and append.** [`Access::write`] creates or replaces a file with the given bytes. [`Access::append`] adds bytes at the end and creates the file when it is absent. The built-in backends create missing parent directories, so `/log` exists without a separate [`Access::mkdir`]. +4. **Read.** [`Access::read`] returns the bytes as stored. [`Access::read_string`] returns them as UTF-8 text. [`Access::read_range`] returns a 1-based, inclusive line range, and [`Access::read_range_numbered`] adds line numbers for a model to navigate by. +5. **Edit in place.** [`Access::str_replace`] replaces the one occurrence of an anchor text.

[`VfsRef::new`], [`VfsRef::with_policy`], and [`VfsRef::builder`] cannot fail. + +- [`VfsRef::new`] takes `backend`, any `'static` [`Vfs`], which serves the whole namespace. It returns a handle with the [`AllowAll`] policy, no op sink, and a fresh claims table. The handle has no router, so it does not enforce [`Vfs::read_only`]. +- [`VfsRef::with_policy`] takes `backend`, as for [`VfsRef::new`], and `policy`, any [`Policy`] that is also [`Sync`] and `'static`. It returns a handle with that policy, no op sink, and a fresh claims table. +- [`VfsRef::builder`] returns an empty [`VfsRefBuilder`], with no mounts, no policy, and no sink. +- [`VfsRef::overlay`] takes `&self`, a `prefix` of type [`&str`](str), and a `backend` that is any `'static` [`Vfs`]. The prefix is the absolute virtual path to mount the backend at. It returns a new handle whose namespace is this handle's namespace with the backend mounted at the prefix, sharing this handle's claims table, policy, and op sink. Operations outside the prefix route through this handle. It panics with "invalid overlay prefix {prefix:?}: {err}" when the prefix does not canonicalize, and with "an overlay at / would replace the base entirely; use VfsRef::new instead" for `/`. [`Environment::prepare`](crate::Environment::prepare) builds per-run stores with a fresh router instead of an overlay, because concurrent runs' stores are different storage. +- [`VfsRef::acquire`] takes `&self` and an [`Origin`], and returns a new [`Access`] bound to a fresh [`ExecId`]. The origin labels every operation the access performs. It fails with the backend's own error when a directly wrapped backend's [`Vfs::acquire`] refuses the identity. A router acquires each mount lazily, so a mount's refusal surfaces from the first operation on that mount. + +[`VfsRef`] implements [`Vfs`], and its [`Vfs::read_only`] reports the wrapped backend's flag. + +## VfsRefBuilder + +[`VfsRefBuilder`] collects mounts, a policy, and an op sink, then freezes them into a router. [`VfsRef::builder`] is the only way to get one. Each method takes the builder by value and returns it, so calls chain. The mount table is fixed at [`VfsRefBuilder::build`], so it is immutable and cheap to share. + +- [`VfsRefBuilder::mount`] takes a `prefix` of type [`&str`](str) and a `backend` that is any `'static` [`Vfs`]. The prefix is the absolute virtual path of the mount point. `/` serves the whole namespace, and a longer prefix shadows the same prefix of a shorter one. The backend sees paths relative to its mount, and the mount point itself is its `/`. It panics with "invalid mount prefix {prefix:?}: {err}" when the prefix does not canonicalize, and with "a mount already sits at {prefix:?}" when two mounts share a canonical prefix. +- [`VfsRefBuilder::policy`] takes `policy`, any [`Policy`] that is also [`Sync`] and `'static`, which the router consults on every operation. The default is [`AllowAll`]. A second call replaces the first. +- [`VfsRefBuilder::on_op`] takes `sink`, any closure that implements [`Fn`] of an [`OpEvent`] and is [`Send`], [`Sync`], and `'static`. The router calls it on every admitted operation. There is no sink by default, and a second call replaces the first. +- [`VfsRefBuilder::build`] returns a [`VfsRef`] over the frozen mount table, with a fresh claims table, the installed policy or [`AllowAll`], and the installed sink or none. It cannot fail. A builder with no mounts builds a handle where every path fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`]. + +## Origin + +[`Origin`] says who asked for an operation: a label plus the most precise source position the caller knows. It is for observability only, and it never gates an operation or appears in a claim. The host builds one and passes it to [`VfsRef::acquire`], and an [`OpEvent`] hands it back through [`OpEvent::origin`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so there is no struct literal, and its fields are public for reading. + +- [`Origin::new`] takes `label`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`]. It records the Rust call site as the file and line, because it is `#[track_caller]`. +- [`Origin::at`] takes `label` as for [`Origin::new`], `file`, anything that converts [`Into`] a [`String`], and `line`, a [`u32`]. It records exactly those values. Use it for a prompt position: the prompt's name as the file and a 1-based line in the prompt. + +Neither constructor can fail. [Identities and claims](#identities-and-claims) says which label to pass. + +- [`Origin::label`], a [`String`], is the caller's label. +- [`Origin::file`], a [`String`], is the source file or document that the line refers to: a Rust source file from [`Origin::new`], or whatever was passed to [`Origin::at`]. +- [`Origin::line`], a [`u32`], is the 1-based line within the file. + +## Access + +[`Access`] is the capability that every filesystem operation goes through. It is bound to one [`ExecId`] and one [`Origin`]. The host receives one from [`VfsRef::acquire`], or inside an [`Effect::Store`](crate::effect::Effect::Store), and never builds one. It is [`Send`] and [`Sync`]. It is `#[must_use]`, because an access dropped at once releases its identity before any work is done. + +Each method canonicalizes its path arguments, consults the policy, registers a claim, fires the op sink, and then calls the backend, in that order. So every method can fail with [`VfsError::InvalidPath`] for a malformed path, [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] when the policy refuses, [`VfsError::Conflict`] when a claim conflicts, and [`VfsError::NotFound`] when no mount serves the path. A mutation also fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] on a read-only mount. Any other backend error passes through. The entries below give each method's arguments, its return value, the [`Op`] it reports, and its other failures. Every path argument is a [`&str`](str) holding an absolute virtual path, such as `"/notes.md"`. + +**Reading.** + +- [`Access::read`] takes `path` and returns the file's bytes as stored, as a [`Vec`] of [`u8`]. It registers a read claim and reports [`Op::Read`]. It fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the file is absent, and with [`VfsError::IsADirectory`] on a directory in the built-in backends. +- [`Access::read_string`] takes `path` and returns the contents as a UTF-8 [`String`]. It reads through [`Access::read`], so it claims and reports the same way. Content that is not UTF-8 fails with [`VfsError::Backend`] and the message "read_string requires UTF-8 text: {path}: {source}". +- [`Access::read_range`] takes `path`, a `start` of type [`usize`], and an `end` of type [`Option`] of [`usize`], and returns a [`String`]. The range is 1-based and inclusive. `start` must be at least 1. An `end` of [`None`] means the last line, and an `end` past the last line clamps to it. The selected lines are joined by `"\n"` with no trailing newline, and a `start` past the last line returns `""`. So `read_range("/f.txt", 2, None)` on `"one\ntwo\nthree\n"` returns `"two\nthree"`. Lines are split with [`str::lines`]. It reads the whole file through [`Access::read`], so it claims and reports the same way. A `start` of 0 fails with [`VfsError::Backend`] and "invalid line range for {path}: start {start} is below 1", checked before the file is read. A clamped `end` before `start` fails with "invalid line range for {path}: end {end} is before start {start}". Content that is not UTF-8 also fails. +- [`Access::read_range_numbered`] takes the same arguments as [`Access::read_range`] and fails the same ways. Each selected line starts with its absolute line number, right-aligned to the width of the largest number shown and followed by `"| "`. So `read_range_numbered("/f.txt", 9, Some(10))` returns `" 9| line9\n10| line10"`. Models use the numbers to navigate. + +**Writing.** + +- [`Access::write`] takes `path` and `contents`, a [`&[u8]`](slice) holding the complete new file, and creates or overwrites the file. It registers a write claim and reports [`Op::Write`]. It fails with [`VfsError::IsADirectory`] when a directory sits at the path, and with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] in the memory backend when an ancestor is a file. The built-in backends create missing ancestor directories. +- [`Access::append`] takes `path` and `contents`, a [`&[u8]`](slice) of bytes to add at the end. It creates the file when it is absent, and the built-in backends also create missing ancestors. It registers a write claim, reports [`Op::Append`], and fails as [`Access::write`] does. +- [`Access::str_replace`] takes `path`, `old`, and `new`, each a [`&str`](str). `old` is the anchor text and must occur exactly once in the file, and `new` replaces it. The policy and claims treat it as a write, so it registers a write claim and reports [`Op::Write`]. With the default backend body it fails with [`VfsError::Backend`] and one of "str_replace requires UTF-8 text: {path}: {source}", "str_replace found no occurrence of {old:?} in {path}", or "str_replace found {count} occurrences of {old:?} in {path}; exactly one is required". A missing file fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`]. A backend can override the default body. +- [`Access::remove`] takes `path` and `recursive`, a [`bool`]. With `true` it removes a directory with its whole subtree. With `false` it removes only a file, a link, or an empty directory. On a symlink it removes the link, never the target. It registers a write claim and reports [`Op::Delete`]. It fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the path is absent, and with [`VfsError::DirectoryNotEmpty`] for a non-empty directory without `recursive`. Removing the backend's root fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`], as "the namespace root cannot be removed" in the memory backend and "the mounted root cannot be removed" in the host backend. +- [`Access::mkdir`] takes `path` and `recursive`, a [`bool`]. With `true` it also creates missing ancestors, and with `false` the parent must exist. It registers a write claim and reports [`Op::Mkdir`]. It fails with [`VfsError::AlreadyExists`] when anything already sits at the path. In the memory backend it fails with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] when an ancestor is a file, and with [`VfsError::NotFound`] and "the parent of {path} does not exist" when the parent is missing without `recursive`. +- [`Access::rename`] takes `from` and `to`, and renames or moves a file or directory. `to` must be served by the same mount as `from`, and must not be inside `from`. Both paths are checked by the policy and claimed as writes under [`Op::Rename`], `from` first, and the op sink fires once per path. It fails with [`VfsError::InvalidPath`] and "cannot rename {from} into its own descendant {to}", with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] across mounts, and with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the source is absent. Renaming a backend's root, or onto it, fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`]. The memory backend moves a directory's whole subtree and can fail with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] or [`VfsError::DirectoryNotEmpty`] for an incompatible directory destination. The rename is atomic where the backend allows. +- [`Access::copy`] takes `from` and `to`, and copies one file. The source is claimed as a read and the destination as a write, both under [`Op::Copy`], and the op sink fires once per path. It fails with [`VfsError::IsADirectory`] when either path is a directory, with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the source is absent, and with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] across mounts. Only a read-only destination mount refuses it. + +**Looking around.** + +- [`Access::exists`] takes `path` and returns a [`bool`]: `true` when a file or directory exists there, and `false` only for a confirmed absence. A lookup that cannot decide is an error. For example, the host backend fails with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] for a path through a file ancestor, and counts a dangling symlink as existing. It registers a read claim and reports [`Op::Exists`]. +- [`Access::glob`] takes `pattern`, a [`&str`](str) holding an absolute glob over virtual paths, and returns the matching full virtual paths, sorted, as a [`Vec`] of [`String`]. A pattern holds literal bytes, `*` for zero or more bytes within one segment, and `**` for any number of whole segments. `**` must occupy a whole segment, as in `**`, `**/...`, `.../**`, or `.../**/...`. There are no escapes. Backslashes and runs of three or more `*` are rejected. The built-in backends return directories as well as files, and reject a pattern over 1024 bytes with [`VfsError::InvalidPath`] and "glob pattern exceeds 1024 bytes", or a malformed one with "invalid glob pattern {pattern:?}: {reason}". The claim, the policy check, and the op sink all use the canonicalized pattern as the path, with a read claim and [`Op::Glob`]. A router sends the pattern to the longest-prefix mount, strips the prefix, and joins it back onto each result. +- [`Access::list`] takes the `path` of a directory and returns its immediate children as a [`Vec`] of [`Entry`], sorted by name in the built-in backends. It registers a read claim and reports [`Op::List`]. It fails with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] on a file and [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the path is absent. +- [`Access::stat`] takes `path` and returns its [`Stat`]. It registers a read claim and reports [`Op::Stat`]. It fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the path is absent. The host backend does not follow symlinks here, so a link reports [`FileType::Symlink`]. +- [`Access::grep`] takes `query`, a reference to a [`GrepQuery`], and returns a [`GrepResults`]. Through a router, each match's [`GrepMatch::path`] is the full virtual path. The query's [`GrepQuery::root`] is canonicalized, checked by the policy under [`Op::Grep`], and read-claimed. The claim and the op sink use the root only, not each searched file. It fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] when [`GrepQuery::is_regex`] is `true` and the backend uses the default body, and with any error from the backend's glob or reads. A host cannot build a [`GrepQuery`] of its own, as its entry explains, so in practice a host calls [`Access::grep`] only with a query it received and cloned. + +Dropping an [`Access`] releases its claims and its backend session, as [Identities and claims](#identities-and-claims) describes. + +## ExecId + +[`ExecId`] is the opaque identity of one serial thread of execution, and every operation and claim is attributed to one. The handle vends each one from a process-wide counter, so each is unique in the process. Hosts never build one. A backend receives it as the `id` argument of [`Vfs::acquire`] and [`Vfs::release`], and can use it to tell sessions apart. It is [`Copy`](std::marker::Copy) and [`Hash`](std::hash::Hash), so it works as a map key for per-identity state. Its [`Debug`](std::fmt::Debug) form appears in [`VfsError::Conflict`] messages. + +## VfsError + +[`VfsError`] is the one error type every filesystem operation returns. The host receives it from [`Access`], [`VfsRef::acquire`], and [`HostBackend::rooted`]. A custom backend builds variants directly, for example `VfsError::NotFound(path.to_string())`. Every variant holds a [`String`] with a human-readable message. The enum is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` needs a wildcard arm. + +- [`VfsError::NotFound`]: the path does not exist in the serving backend. A router also returns it when no mount serves the path, [`HostBackend::rooted`] returns it for an absent directory, and the memory backend returns it for a non-recursive [`Access::mkdir`] with a missing parent. Through the store it becomes [`StoreError::NotFound`], or success for [`StoreOp::Delete`]. +- [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`]: the operation is not permitted. The causes are a policy [`Verdict::Deny`] or [`Verdict::Ask`], whose text is the message, a read-only mount, a host path escaping its rooted directory, removing or renaming a backend's root, or a host OS permission error. Show the message to the model or the user. Retrying unchanged fails again. +- [`VfsError::AlreadyExists`]: the path already exists where creation required absence, for example [`Access::mkdir`] on an existing path. +- [`VfsError::InvalidPath`]: the path is malformed or escapes the root. The messages are "empty path", "relative path is not in the virtual namespace: {path:?}", and "path escapes the namespace root: {path:?}". It also covers an invalid or over-long glob pattern, and a rename into the source's own descendant. +- [`VfsError::NotADirectory`]: a directory operation named a non-directory. That covers [`Access::list`] of a file, a path through a file ancestor, and [`HostBackend::rooted`] on a file. +- [`VfsError::IsADirectory`]: a file operation named a directory, such as [`Access::read`], [`Access::write`], [`Access::append`], or [`Access::copy`] on a directory. +- [`VfsError::DirectoryNotEmpty`]: a removal without `recursive` named a non-empty directory. The memory backend also returns it for a directory renamed onto a non-empty directory. Retry with `recursive` set to `true` if that was intended. +- [`VfsError::Unsupported`]: the serving backend does not implement the operation. That covers a rename or copy across mounts, whose message is "{op} across mounts is unsupported: {from} and {to} are served by different mounts", a regex grep against the default body, and the default [`VfsAccess::symlink`], [`VfsAccess::read_link`], and [`VfsAccess::chmod`]. +- [`VfsError::Conflict`]: the operation conflicts with another live identity's claim, and it never reached the backend. The message is `"{kind} on {path} by {id:?} conflicts with a {other_kind} claim by {other:?}"`. During a run, a conflict on a store path becomes [`StoreError::WriteRace`] and ends the run. +- [`VfsError::Backend`]: the serving backend failed for any other reason. That covers text that is not UTF-8 in [`Access::read_string`], [`Access::read_range`], or the default [`VfsAccess::str_replace`], an invalid line range in [`Access::read_range`], a default [`VfsAccess::str_replace`] match count other than one, a backend refusing an identity, and an unmapped host I/O error. + +[`VfsError`] implements [`std::error::Error`]. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) form puts a fixed prefix before the message: "not found: ", "permission denied: ", "already exists: ", "invalid path: ", "not a directory: ", "is a directory: ", "directory not empty: ", "unsupported operation: ", "conflicting claim: ", or "backend failure: ". + +## MemoryBackend + +[`MemoryBackend`] is an in-memory backend that stores bytes keyed by canonical path. Build one with [`MemoryBackend::new`], which takes no arguments, cannot fail, and returns an empty backend holding only the root directory `/`. [`MemoryBackend::default`] returns the same thing. A clone shares the same storage, so a clone mounted elsewhere or wrapped in another handle sees the same files. It implements [`Vfs`], and its [`Vfs::read_only`] is `false`. The struct is `#[non_exhaustive]`. + +It ignores identities, so every session shares one map. Its behavior differs from a host directory in a few places: + +- Reading a directory fails with [`VfsError::IsADirectory`], and so does copying one. +- Removing an absent path fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`], removing a non-empty directory without `recursive` fails with [`VfsError::DirectoryNotEmpty`], and removing `/` fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`]. +- [`Access::mkdir`] on any existing path fails with [`VfsError::AlreadyExists`]. +- [`Access::glob`] returns files and directories, sorted, and [`Access::list`] sorts by name. +- [`Access::stat`] reports [`FileType::File`] with the byte length as the size, or [`FileType::Directory`] with a size of 0. The mode and both timestamps are [`None`]. +- [`Access::rename`] moves a directory's whole subtree, and refuses `/` as the source or as a directory's destination. + +## HostBackend + +[`HostBackend`] serves host OS directories behind the virtual namespace through direct [`std::fs`] calls. It accepts and ignores identities. Build one with [`HostBackend::identity`] or [`HostBackend::rooted`], and optionally chain [`HostBackend::with_read_only`]. The struct is `#[non_exhaustive]` with private fields. + +- [`HostBackend::identity`] takes no arguments, cannot fail, and returns a writable backend whose virtual paths are host paths. Virtual `/a/b` is host `/a/b`, and on Windows virtual `/C:/a/b` is host `C:\a\b`. No containment applies. +- [`HostBackend::rooted`] takes `dir`, anything that implements [`AsRef`] of [`Path`](std::path::Path). The directory becomes the virtual root `/`. It must exist and be a directory, and it is canonicalized when the backend is built. It returns a writable, chroot-style backend in a [`Result`]. It fails with [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the directory is absent, with [`VfsError::NotADirectory`] when the path is not a directory, and with other I/O failures mapped by kind. Every later path is checked by canonicalizing its nearest existing ancestor. A path that resolves outside the root fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] and "{path} escapes the mounted root". A dangling symlink inside the root is not itself resolved. +- [`HostBackend::with_read_only`] takes the backend by value and `read_only`, a [`bool`], and returns the backend with the flag set. It cannot fail. With `true`, [`Access::write`], [`Access::append`], [`Access::remove`], [`Access::mkdir`], [`Access::rename`] on its source, and [`Access::copy`] on its destination all fail with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] and "the host backend is read-only, so {path} cannot be mutated" before touching disk. Reads still work. The default from both constructors is `false`. [`Vfs::read_only`] reports the flag. + +Host I/O errors map by kind onto the same-named [`VfsError`] variant: not found, permission denied, already exists, is a directory, not a directory, and directory not empty. Every other error becomes [`VfsError::Backend`] with "{path}: {err}". + +The backend overrides [`VfsAccess::read_range`] with a seek. [`Access::list`] sorts by name, and [`Access::glob`] walks without following links and sorts its results. [`Access::stat`] does not follow symlinks. Off Unix, [`Stat::mode`] is [`None`] and only [`FileType::File`], [`FileType::Directory`], and [`FileType::Symlink`] are reported. Writes, appends, copies, and renames create missing parent directories and are failure-atomic. + +## Entry + +[`Entry`] is one directory entry: a name within its directory plus that child's metadata. The host receives entries from [`Access::list`], and a backend returns them from [`VfsAccess::list`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no public constructor, so no host code can build one, including a custom backend. + +- [`Entry::name`], a [`String`], is the entry's name within its directory. It is a single segment, not a full path. +- [`Entry::stat`], a [`Stat`], is the entry's metadata. The host backend's listing does not follow symlinks. +- [`Entry::description`], an [`Option`] of [`String`], is an optional annotation shown beside the entry. Its documentation says it is [`None`] outside `/_promptforge`. The built-in backends always set it to [`None`]. + +## Stat + +[`Stat`] is the metadata for one path. A field the backend does not track is [`None`] rather than invented. The host receives one from [`Access::stat`] and inside [`Entry::stat`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no public constructor, so a custom backend implementing [`VfsAccess::stat`] cannot build one. + +- [`Stat::file_type`], a [`FileType`], is what kind of node the path is. +- [`Stat::size`], a [`u64`], is the size in bytes. The memory backend reports 0 for a directory. +- [`Stat::mode`], an [`Option`] of [`u32`], holds the POSIX mode bits. It is [`Some`] from the host backend on Unix, and [`None`] on Windows and from the memory backend. +- [`Stat::modified`], an [`Option`] of [`SystemTime`](std::time::SystemTime), is the last modification time. It is [`None`] from the memory backend. +- [`Stat::created`], an [`Option`] of [`SystemTime`](std::time::SystemTime), is the creation time. It is [`None`] from the memory backend, and the host backend reports it when the platform does. + +## FileType + +[`FileType`] is the kind of a filesystem node, one of seven POSIX kinds, carried in [`Stat::file_type`]. The host receives it and can name variants to compare. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` needs a wildcard arm. + +- [`FileType::File`]: a regular file. The memory backend reports only this and [`FileType::Directory`]. The host backend off Unix reports every node that is neither a directory nor a symlink as a file, and on Unix falls back to it for an unrecognized kind. +- [`FileType::Directory`]: a directory. [`Access::list`] applies, and [`Access::read`] fails with [`VfsError::IsADirectory`]. +- [`FileType::Symlink`]: a symbolic link. The host backend reports it because its stat and listing do not follow links. +- [`FileType::Fifo`]: a named pipe. Only the host backend on Unix reports it. +- [`FileType::Socket`]: a socket. Only the host backend on Unix reports it. +- [`FileType::CharDevice`]: a character device, such as `/dev/null`. Only the host backend on Unix reports it. +- [`FileType::BlockDevice`]: a block device. Only the host backend on Unix reports it. + +## GrepQuery + +[`GrepQuery`] is one content search, passed to [`Access::grep`] and [`VfsAccess::grep`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no public constructor and no [`Default`], so a host cannot build one. A host holds one only when a backend's [`VfsAccess::grep`] receives it, and can clone that one and assign its public fields. + +- [`GrepQuery::pattern`], a [`String`], is the text to search for. With the default body it is a literal substring matched within each line. +- [`GrepQuery::root`], a [`VfsPathBuf`], is the directory the search starts from. [`Access::grep`] canonicalizes it, and a router strips the mount prefix before passing it to the backend. +- [`GrepQuery::is_regex`], a [`bool`], says whether the pattern is a regular expression. The default body fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] when it is `true`, so only an overriding backend can serve regex. +- [`GrepQuery::case_insensitive`], a [`bool`], says whether matching ignores case. The default body lowercases both the line and the pattern. +- [`GrepQuery::glob_filter`], an [`Option`] of [`String`], restricts which files are searched. The default body globs `{root}/**/{filter}`, or `{root}/**/*` when it is [`None`]. +- [`GrepQuery::max_results`], an [`Option`] of [`usize`], caps the returned matches. [`None`] means no cap. When the cap is reached and another match turns up, the default body stops and sets [`GrepResults::truncated`]. + +## GrepResults + +[`GrepResults`] is the outcome of one search: the hits and whether the cap cut them short. The host receives it from [`Access::grep`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`, but [`GrepResults::default`] builds an empty value with no matches and [`GrepResults::truncated`] set to `false`, and its public fields can then be assigned. That makes it the one search type a custom backend can build. + +- [`GrepResults::matches`], a [`Vec`] of [`GrepMatch`], holds the hits in backend order. The default body walks files in the glob's sorted order and lines in file order. +- [`GrepResults::truncated`], a [`bool`], is `true` when [`GrepQuery::max_results`] cut the results short, and `false` when every match fit. + +## GrepMatch + +[`GrepMatch`] is one search hit. The host receives it inside [`GrepResults::matches`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]` and has no public constructor. + +- [`GrepMatch::path`], a [`String`], is the path of the file containing the hit. Through a router, the mount prefix is joined back on, so it is the full virtual path. +- [`GrepMatch::line_number`], a [`usize`], is the 1-based line number of the hit. +- [`GrepMatch::line`], a [`String`], is the full text of the matching line, without its line terminator. + +## VfsPath + +[`VfsPath`] is a canonical virtual path: rooted, separated by `/`, with no `.` or `..` segments and no duplicate or trailing slashes. Policies receive it in [`Policy::check`], backends receive it in every [`VfsAccess`] method relative to their mount, and the op sink receives it from [`OpEvent::path`]. Hosts never build one, because canonicalization is its only constructor and it is private. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) form writes the canonical string, so `format!("{path}")` works. + +- [`VfsPath::as_str`] returns the canonical path as a [`&str`](str), for example `"/a/b"` or `"/"`. +- [`VfsPath::to_buf`] returns an owned [`VfsPathBuf`] copy, for a value that must outlive the borrow, such as a [`VfsAccess::read_link`] result. + +## VfsPathBuf + +[`VfsPathBuf`] is an owned canonical virtual path, used where a path must be owned, such as [`GrepQuery::root`] or a symlink target. Build one with [`VfsPath::to_buf`] or with its [`From`] conversion from a [`VfsPath`]. Its field is private, so it cannot be built from an arbitrary string. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) form writes the canonical string. + +- [`VfsPathBuf::as_str`] returns the canonical path as a [`&str`](str). + +## Policy + +[`Policy`] is the per-handle hook that decides whether each operation may proceed. A host implements it, and installs it with [`VfsRef::with_policy`] or [`VfsRefBuilder::policy`]. The trait requires [`Send`], and both installers also require [`Sync`] and `'static`. The crate implements it for [`AllowAll`] and [`ModePolicy`]. + +[`Policy::check`] is the one required method. It takes `&self`, `op`, the [`Op`] being attempted, and `path`, a reference to the canonical [`VfsPath`] in the handle's namespace. For a glob the path is the canonicalized pattern, and for a grep it is the canonical root. A rename or copy calls it once per path. It returns a [`Verdict`], and the verdict is the whole outcome, so it has no failure of its own. A refused operation registers no claim and fires no op event. + +## Verdict + +[`Verdict`] is a policy's answer for one operation. [`Policy::check`] returns it, and the host builds a variant directly, for example `Verdict::Deny(format!("{op:?} on {path} is refused: write under /drafts instead"))`. The text in a refusal matters in both directions: a [`Verdict::Deny`] text goes back to the model, and a [`Verdict::Ask`] text goes to the user. + +- [`Verdict::Allow`]: the operation proceeds to the claims check and the backend. +- [`Verdict::Deny`] holds a [`String`]: the operation is refused, and the text is the model's recovery hint, so say how to recover. The caller receives [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] with that text. +- [`Verdict::Ask`] holds a [`String`]: the operation needs user approval, and the text is the dialog text, naming what is being asked and which rule fired. At this layer it fails exactly as [`Verdict::Deny`] does, and the approval flow belongs to the host above. + +## Op + +[`Op`] is the kind of operation being attempted. A policy receives it in [`Policy::check`], and the op sink reads it from [`OpEvent::op`]. Name variants directly when matching. It is not `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` can list every variant. Its [`Debug`](std::fmt::Debug) form, such as `Write`, appears in [`ModePolicy`]'s refusal texts. + +- [`Op::Read`]: reading a file's bytes. [`Access::read`], [`Access::read_string`], [`Access::read_range`], and [`Access::read_range_numbered`] issue it. It only looks. +- [`Op::Write`]: creating or overwriting a file. [`Access::write`] and [`Access::str_replace`] issue it. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Append`]: appending to a file, from [`Access::append`]. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Delete`]: removing a file, link, or directory, from [`Access::remove`]. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Rename`]: renaming or moving a path, from [`Access::rename`], checked once for each of its two paths. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Mkdir`]: creating a directory, from [`Access::mkdir`]. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Copy`]: copying a file, from [`Access::copy`], checked once for the source and once for the destination. A policy cannot tell the two checks apart. It is a mutation. +- [`Op::Grep`]: searching file contents, from [`Access::grep`], with the canonical root as the path. It only looks. +- [`Op::Exists`]: testing for existence, from [`Access::exists`]. It only looks. +- [`Op::Glob`]: matching paths against a pattern, from [`Access::glob`], with the canonicalized pattern as the path. It only looks. +- [`Op::List`]: listing a directory, from [`Access::list`]. It only looks. +- [`Op::Stat`]: reading metadata, from [`Access::stat`]. It only looks. +- [`Op::Symlink`]: creating a symbolic link. No [`Access`] method issues it in this version. [`ModePolicy`] treats it as a mutation. +- [`Op::ReadLink`]: reading a symbolic link's target. No [`Access`] method issues it in this version. It only looks. +- [`Op::Chmod`]: changing mode bits. No [`Access`] method issues it in this version. [`ModePolicy`] treats it as a mutation. + +## AllowAll + +[`AllowAll`] is the policy that allows every operation: its [`Policy::check`] always returns [`Verdict::Allow`]. It is the default for [`VfsRef::new`] and for a builder with no [`VfsRefBuilder::policy`] call. It is a unit struct, so the value is just [`AllowAll`], and [`AllowAll::default`] returns the same value. + +## ModePolicy + +[`ModePolicy`] is the editor mode gate. It never gates reads. For a mutation it asks for approval, allows only markdown paths, or allows everything, according to its current [`Mode`]. [Policies](#policies) lists the operations it treats as mutations. + +[`ModePolicy::new`] takes `mode`, the starting [`Mode`], and returns a policy that holds it in a fresh shared cell. It cannot fail. Install the policy with [`VfsRef::with_policy`] or [`VfsRefBuilder::policy`]. + +[`ModePolicy::handle`] takes `&self` and returns a [`ModeHandle`] that shares the policy's mode cell. It cannot fail. Call it before installing the policy if the UI needs to flip modes. Whether a mode change is one-way or reversible depends only on who still holds a handle. + +For a mutation, [`Mode::Agent`] returns [`Verdict::Allow`]. [`Mode::Ask`] returns [`Verdict::Ask`] with "{op:?} on {path} needs user approval: the Ask mode refuses all mutations". [`Mode::Plan`] returns [`Verdict::Allow`] when the canonical path ends in `.md`, and otherwise [`Verdict::Deny`] with "{op:?} on {path} is refused: the Plan mode allows mutations only to markdown paths". + +## Mode + +[`Mode`] is the editor mode a [`ModePolicy`] enforces: what the model may change right now. Name a variant directly, pass it to [`ModePolicy::new`] or [`ModeHandle::set`], and read it back from [`ModeHandle::mode`]. It has no [`Default`]. + +- [`Mode::Ask`]: every mutation needs user approval, and reads work. A mutation fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] carrying the approval text. The host's approval flow sits above this layer. +- [`Mode::Plan`]: mutations are allowed only to paths ending in `.md`, checked case-sensitively, and reads work. A mutation anywhere else fails with [`VfsError::PermissionDenied`] carrying the refusal text. +- [`Mode::Agent`]: every operation is allowed. + +## ModeHandle + +[`ModeHandle`] is the UI's side of the editor mode gate: a shared cell holding one [`ModePolicy`]'s current [`Mode`]. Get one from [`ModePolicy::handle`]. Clones share the one cell. + +- [`ModeHandle::set`] takes `&self` and `mode`, the new [`Mode`], and returns nothing. It cannot fail. The next operation through any handle using the policy sees the new mode. +- [`ModeHandle::mode`] takes `&self` and returns the current [`Mode`]. It cannot fail. + +## OpEvent + +[`OpEvent`] describes one admitted operation, handed to the op sink installed with [`VfsRefBuilder::on_op`]. It borrows the access's own values, so firing it allocates nothing. Hosts never build one, and its fields are private, so read it through its accessors. None of them can fail. + +- [`OpEvent::op`] returns the [`Op`], by value. +- [`OpEvent::path`] returns a reference to the canonical [`VfsPath`] the operation acts on. For a glob it is the canonicalized pattern, and for a grep the canonicalized root. A rename or copy fires one event per path. A sink that keeps events copies the path out, for example with `event.path().to_string()`. +- [`OpEvent::origin`] returns a reference to the [`Origin`] that was passed to [`VfsRef::acquire`] for the access that admitted the operation. + +## OpSink + +[`OpSink`] is the type of an installed op sink: an [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc) of a [`Fn`] that takes one [`OpEvent`] per admitted operation and is [`Send`] and [`Sync`]. Hosts normally pass a closure to [`VfsRefBuilder::on_op`], which wraps it in this type. [`VfsRefBuilder::on_op`] takes the closure itself, not an [`OpSink`] value, so a host names the alias only to store such a callback of its own. The sink must be cheap, because it runs inline with each operation. + +## perform_store_op + +[`perform_store_op`] performs one store operation through an [`Access`], which is the work behind an [`Effect::Store`](crate::effect::Effect::Store). A host that calls it answers a store effect exactly as the engine's own drivers do. It takes two arguments, both from the same effect. + +- `access`, a reference to an [`Access`], is the capability from the effect's [`access`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Store.field.access) field. Pass it as received. +- `op`, a [`StoreOp`], is the validated operation from the effect's [`op`](crate::effect::Effect#variant.Store.field.op) field. + +It returns a [`Result`] of a [`StoreOutcome`] or a [`StoreError`]. The outcome is [`StoreOutcome::Unit`] for [`StoreOp::Write`], [`StoreOp::Append`], [`StoreOp::StrReplace`], and [`StoreOp::Delete`], [`StoreOutcome::Text`] for [`StoreOp::Read`] and [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered`], [`StoreOutcome::Paths`] for [`StoreOp::Glob`], and [`StoreOutcome::Bool`] for [`StoreOp::Exists`]. Wrap the whole [`Result`] in [`EffectAnswer::Store`](crate::effect::EffectAnswer::Store) and pass it to [`Run::resume`](crate::Run::resume). + +It is synchronous, so an async host runs it off its executor and drops the access after it returns, before resuming. Logical paths are joined onto the store mount `/_promptforge/store`. [`StoreOp::Delete`] of a missing file succeeds. [`StoreOp::Glob`] lists only files, as logical paths, and stats each match, which takes a read claim on each matched file. + +## StoreOp + +[`StoreOp`] is one validated store operation: the name of a prompt's `store.*` call plus the author's arguments. The host receives it inside an [`Effect::Store`](crate::effect::Effect::Store) and runs it with [`perform_store_op`]. A host can also build a variant directly, such as `StoreOp::Read { path: "missing.txt".to_owned(), start: None, end: None }`, or deserialize one. The enum is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` needs a wildcard arm. + +Every path field is a logical path relative to the run's store mount, validated against the [`PathReason`] rules before dispatch. + +- [`StoreOp::Write`] is `store.write(path, contents)`. It creates or overwrites the file. + - [`StoreOp::Write::path`](StoreOp#variant.Write.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. + - [`StoreOp::Write::contents`](StoreOp#variant.Write.field.contents), a [`String`], is the complete new file text, written as its UTF-8 bytes. +- [`StoreOp::Append`] is `store.append(path, contents)`. It appends, creating the file when it is absent. + - [`StoreOp::Append::path`](StoreOp#variant.Append.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. + - [`StoreOp::Append::contents`](StoreOp#variant.Append.field.contents), a [`String`], is the text to append. +- [`StoreOp::Read`] is `store.read(path, start?, end?)`. With no `start` and no `end` it reads the whole file verbatim. With a `start` it returns a 1-based, inclusive line range joined by `"\n"` with no trailing newline. + - [`StoreOp::Read::path`](StoreOp#variant.Read.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path of a UTF-8 file. + - [`StoreOp::Read::start`](StoreOp#variant.Read.field.start), an [`Option`] of [`i64`], is the first line. A value below 1 fails with [`StoreError::InvalidRange`] and "start must be at least 1", and a negative value counts as 0. A `start` past the last line gives `""`. + - [`StoreOp::Read::end`](StoreOp#variant.Read.field.end), an [`Option`] of [`i64`], is the last line, inclusive. [`None`] means the last line, and a value past the last line clamps to it. An `end` without a `start` fails with "start is required when end is given", and an `end` before `start` fails with "end must not be before start". +- [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered`] is `store.read_numbered(path, start?, end?)`: the same read with absolute line numbers, right-aligned and followed by `"| "`. With no bounds it numbers the whole file from 1. + - [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered::path`](StoreOp#variant.ReadNumbered.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. + - [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered::start`](StoreOp#variant.ReadNumbered.field.start), an [`Option`] of [`i64`], follows the rules of [`StoreOp::Read::start`](StoreOp#variant.Read.field.start). + - [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered::end`](StoreOp#variant.ReadNumbered.field.end), an [`Option`] of [`i64`], follows the rules of [`StoreOp::Read::end`](StoreOp#variant.Read.field.end). +- [`StoreOp::StrReplace`] is `store.str_replace(path, old, new)`. It replaces the one occurrence of the anchor. + - [`StoreOp::StrReplace::path`](StoreOp#variant.StrReplace.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. + - [`StoreOp::StrReplace::old`](StoreOp#variant.StrReplace.field.old), a [`String`], is the anchor text, which must occur exactly once. An empty anchor fails with [`StoreError::InvalidAnchor`], no match with [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound`], and more than one match with [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous`]. + - [`StoreOp::StrReplace::new`](StoreOp#variant.StrReplace.field.new), a [`String`], is the replacement text, and may be empty. +- [`StoreOp::Delete`] is `store.delete(path)`. It removes the file, and a missing file succeeds. + - [`StoreOp::Delete::path`](StoreOp#variant.Delete.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. The removal is not recursive, so a path that is a directory with children fails as a backend error. +- [`StoreOp::Glob`] is `store.glob(pattern)`. It lists the stored files that match. + - [`StoreOp::Glob::pattern`](StoreOp#variant.Glob.field.pattern), a [`String`], is a glob relative to the store mount, with `*` within one segment and `**` across segments as a whole segment. It must be non-empty, at most 1024 bytes, and free of control characters and backslashes. Only files are listed, as logical paths. +- [`StoreOp::Exists`] is `store.exists(path)`. It tests whether the path exists. + - [`StoreOp::Exists::path`](StoreOp#variant.Exists.field.path), a [`String`], is the logical path. + +The read bounds are [`i64`] for compatibility with the prompt-facing call. [`StoreOp`] implements serde's [`Serialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html) and [`Deserialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Deserialize.html) with no serde attributes, so it uses serde's default externally tagged form: the variant name is the key and the fields are an object, as in `{"Delete":{"path":"notes.md"}}`. + +## StoreOutcome + +[`StoreOutcome`] is the successful result of one store operation, which the prompt's `store.*` call returns. [`perform_store_op`] returns it. The enum is not `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a host with its own store performer can build a variant directly, such as `StoreOutcome::Bool(true)`. + +- [`StoreOutcome::Unit`]: the operation succeeded with no value, which the prompt sees as nil. It answers [`StoreOp::Write`], [`StoreOp::Append`], [`StoreOp::StrReplace`], and [`StoreOp::Delete`]. +- [`StoreOutcome::Text`] holds a [`String`]: the file text, possibly limited to a line range and possibly numbered. It answers [`StoreOp::Read`] and [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered`]. +- [`StoreOutcome::Paths`] holds a [`Vec`] of [`String`]: the matching logical file paths, sorted. It answers [`StoreOp::Glob`]. +- [`StoreOutcome::Bool`] holds a [`bool`]: whether the path exists. It answers [`StoreOp::Exists`]. + +## StoreError + +[`StoreError`] is the failure of one store operation. [`perform_store_op`] returns it, and the answer carries it back to the run, which raises it at the prompt's call site. [`StoreError::backend`] is the only public constructor. The enum and every variant with fields are `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a pattern on a variant needs `..`. Its documentation directs hosts to match on [`StoreError::kind`] rather than on variants. Every `path` field below is the logical path exactly as the caller supplied it, relative to the store mount. -[`VfsRefBuilder::on_op`] installs an [`OpSink`] that fires on every admitted operation - after the policy and the claims pass, before the backend executes - with an [`OpEvent`] naming the operation, the canonical path, and the caller's [`Origin`]. It is fire-and-forget: no outcome flows back, and a refused operation never fires. The sink must be cheap, because store operations fire it from the host's blocking pool. +- [`StoreError::NotFound`]: no file exists at the path. [`StoreOp::Read`], [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered`], and [`StoreOp::StrReplace`] return it for a missing file. Pass it back as the answer, and the author sees it at the call site. + - [`StoreError::NotFound::path`](StoreError#variant.NotFound.field.path), a [`String`], is the path that did not resolve. +- [`StoreError::InvalidAnchor`]: a [`StoreOp::StrReplace`] anchor was refused before any search. The only cause is an empty anchor. + - [`StoreError::InvalidAnchor::path`](StoreError#variant.InvalidAnchor.field.path), a [`String`], is the path the edit targeted. + - [`StoreError::InvalidAnchor::reason`](StoreError#variant.InvalidAnchor.field.reason), a [`&'static str`](str), is the reason, currently always "anchor must not be empty". +- [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound`]: the anchor did not occur in the file, and nothing was written. + - [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound::path`](StoreError#variant.AnchorNotFound.field.path), a [`String`], is the path that was searched. + - [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound::anchor`](StoreError#variant.AnchorNotFound.field.anchor), a [`String`], is the anchor text. +- [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous`]: the anchor occurred more than once, so the edit was refused rather than applied to an arbitrary match. + - [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous::path`](StoreError#variant.AnchorAmbiguous.field.path), a [`String`], is the path that was searched. + - [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous::anchor`](StoreError#variant.AnchorAmbiguous.field.anchor), a [`String`], is the anchor text. + - [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous::count`](StoreError#variant.AnchorAmbiguous.field.count), a [`usize`], is the number of non-overlapping matches, always 2 or more. +- [`StoreError::InvalidPath`]: a path failed validation before any backend saw it. + - [`StoreError::InvalidPath::path`](StoreError#variant.InvalidPath.field.path), a [`String`], is the rejected path. + - [`StoreError::InvalidPath::reason`](StoreError#variant.InvalidPath.field.reason), a [`PathReason`], is the rule it broke. +- [`StoreError::InvalidPattern`]: a [`StoreOp::Glob`] pattern was rejected before matching. + - [`StoreError::InvalidPattern::pattern`](StoreError#variant.InvalidPattern.field.pattern), a [`String`], is the rejected pattern as supplied, without the store mount prefix. + - [`StoreError::InvalidPattern::reason`](StoreError#variant.InvalidPattern.field.reason), a [`String`], is "pattern is empty", "pattern exceeds 1024 bytes", "pattern contains a control character", "pattern does not support backslash escapes", or the [`VfsError::InvalidPath`] message for a grammar or canonicalization failure. +- [`StoreError::InvalidRange`]: a [`StoreOp::Read`] or [`StoreOp::ReadNumbered`] line range was rejected. + - [`StoreError::InvalidRange::path`](StoreError#variant.InvalidRange.field.path), a [`String`], is the path the read targeted. + - [`StoreError::InvalidRange::reason`](StoreError#variant.InvalidRange.field.reason), a [`&'static str`](str), is "start must be at least 1", "end must not be before start", or "start is required when end is given". +- [`StoreError::WriteRace`]: two live identities touched the same path, and the losing operation never reached the backend. It ends the run with [`RunErrorKind::Determinism`](crate::RunErrorKind::Determinism), which Lua cannot catch. + - [`StoreError::WriteRace::path`](StoreError#variant.WriteRace.field.path), a [`String`], is the path the conflicting operation targeted. + - [`StoreError::WriteRace::detail`](StoreError#variant.WriteRace.field.detail), a [`String`], is the [`VfsError::Conflict`] message, naming the canonical virtual path, both identities, and both claim kinds. +- [`StoreError::Backend`]: the backend failed for a reason of its own. Every filesystem error other than not-found and conflict lands here, including a policy denial, a read-only mount, and text that is not UTF-8. + - [`StoreError::Backend::source`](StoreError#variant.Backend.field.source), a [`Box`] of a [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`] and [`Sync`], is the backend's own error. For a filesystem failure it is the [`VfsError`], so a host can downcast it to inspect it. + +The methods classify and inspect an error. None of them can fail. + +- [`StoreError::kind`] returns the stable [`StoreErrorKind`]. [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound`] and [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous`] both map to [`StoreErrorKind::Anchor`], and every other variant maps to the kind of the same name. +- [`StoreError::is_not_found`] returns `true` only for [`StoreError::NotFound`]. +- [`StoreError::path`] returns the logical path as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), for example `Some("missing.txt")`. It is [`None`] for [`StoreError::InvalidPattern`] and [`StoreError::Backend`]. +- [`StoreError::conflict_detail`] returns the full conflict diagnosis from a [`StoreError::WriteRace`] as an [`Option`] of [`&str`](str), and [`None`] for every other variant. The engine passes it verbatim into the run's determinism failure. +- [`StoreError::backend`] takes `source`, any [`std::error::Error`] that is [`Send`], [`Sync`], and `'static`, and returns a [`StoreError::Backend`] holding it boxed. Use it when a host store performer fails for its own reasons, or to convert a [`VfsError`] into a [`StoreError`]. + +[`StoreError`] implements [`std::error::Error`], and [`StoreError::Backend`] reports its source through [`source`](std::error::Error::source). It is not [`Clone`]. Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) texts are lowercase with no trailing period: + +- [`StoreError::NotFound`]: "file not found: {path}" +- [`StoreError::InvalidAnchor`]: "invalid anchor for {path}: {reason}" +- [`StoreError::AnchorNotFound`]: "anchor not found in {path}" +- [`StoreError::AnchorAmbiguous`]: "anchor occurs {count} times in {path}, expected exactly one" +- [`StoreError::InvalidPath`]: "invalid path {path:?}: {reason}" +- [`StoreError::InvalidPattern`]: "invalid glob pattern {pattern:?}: {reason}" +- [`StoreError::InvalidRange`]: "invalid line range for {path}: {reason}" +- [`StoreError::WriteRace`]: "write-write race on {path}: another live identity holds a claim on it" +- [`StoreError::Backend`]: "store backend failure" + +## StoreErrorKind + +[`StoreErrorKind`] is the stable, matchable classification of a [`StoreError`], returned by [`StoreError::kind`]. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a `match` needs a wildcard arm, and new causes can be added without breaking it. It has no [`Display`](std::fmt::Display). + +- [`StoreErrorKind::NotFound`]: no file exists at the path. +- [`StoreErrorKind::Anchor`]: a `store.str_replace` anchor did not occur, or occurred more than once. +- [`StoreErrorKind::InvalidAnchor`]: a `store.str_replace` anchor was empty and refused before any search. +- [`StoreErrorKind::InvalidPath`]: a path failed validation. +- [`StoreErrorKind::InvalidPattern`]: a glob pattern failed validation. +- [`StoreErrorKind::InvalidRange`]: a line range failed validation. +- [`StoreErrorKind::WriteRace`]: two live identities touched the same path. +- [`StoreErrorKind::Backend`]: the backend itself failed, including policy denials and read-only mounts surfaced through the store. + +## PathReason + +[`PathReason`] says why a logical store path was rejected before any backend saw it. It arrives in [`StoreError::InvalidPath::reason`](StoreError#variant.InvalidPath.field.reason), and hosts never build one, though they can name variants to compare. It is `#[non_exhaustive]`. [The run's store](#the-runs-store) gives the order the rules are checked in. The fix in every case is to supply a path that follows the rule. + +- [`PathReason::Empty`]: the path was the empty string. Its documentation also claims a path made only of separators, but the leading `/` check runs first, so such a path reports [`PathReason::Absolute`]. +- [`PathReason::Absolute`]: the path began with `/`. Store paths are relative to the store mount, so drop the leading slash. +- [`PathReason::Traversal`]: a segment was `.` or `..`. +- [`PathReason::Control`]: the path contained a byte below `0x20` or equal to `0x7f`. +- [`PathReason::EmptySegment`]: the path contained an empty segment, from a `//` run or a trailing `/`. +- [`PathReason::Backslash`]: the path contained `\`, which is a separator on some backends and a literal on others. +- [`PathReason::ReservedName`]: a segment was a platform-reserved device name. The base name before the first `.` is compared case-insensitively, so `con.txt` is rejected. +- [`PathReason::UnsafeSuffix`]: a segment ended in `.` or a space, which some backends silently strip, so the name would not round-trip. +- [`PathReason::TooLong`]: the path exceeded 1024 bytes. + +Its [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) texts are "path is empty", "path is absolute", "path contains a traversal segment", "path contains a control character", "path contains an empty segment", "path contains a backslash", "path contains a reserved device name", "path segment ends in an unsafe character", and "path is too long". + +## Vfs + +[`Vfs`] is one backend behind the virtual namespace. The only way to reach its storage is to acquire a per-identity session, a [`VfsAccess`]. A host implements it for a custom backend. The trait requires [`Send`] but not [`Sync`], because the handle serializes access. The crate implements it for [`MemoryBackend`], [`HostBackend`], and [`VfsRef`]. Pass an implementation to [`VfsRef::new`], [`VfsRef::with_policy`], [`VfsRefBuilder::mount`], or [`VfsRef::overlay`], all of which require `'static`. + +- [`Vfs::acquire`] is required. It takes `&mut self` and `id`, the [`ExecId`] that every operation on the new session is attributed to, and returns a [`Box`] of a [`VfsAccess`]. A backend that tracks who touches what keys on the id, and others ignore it. Return any [`VfsError`] when the backend cannot open a session, and the caller of [`VfsRef::acquire`] receives it, or the first operation on the mount through a router. It is called once per [`VfsRef::acquire`] for a directly wrapped backend, and lazily on first touch for a mounted one. +- [`Vfs::release`] is required. It takes `&mut self` and the `id` being released, and returns `()` on success. Return a [`VfsError`] when the identity cannot be released, though the caller ignores it, because the release runs when the [`Access`] is dropped, after its claims are gone. So cancellation, panics, and early returns cannot skip it. Through a router, it is called at each mount the identity touched, after that mount's session is dropped. +- [`Vfs::read_only`] has a default body that returns `false`. It takes `&self` and returns whether the backend rejects all mutations. On a read-only mount, a router refuses [`Access::write`], [`Access::append`], [`Access::remove`], [`Access::mkdir`], [`Access::str_replace`], the destination of [`Access::copy`], and either end of [`Access::rename`] before the backend is touched. A backend used alone through [`VfsRef::new`] must reject mutations itself. + +## VfsAccess + +[`VfsAccess`] is one identity's session with a backend, and it declares every filesystem operation. A host implements it for a custom backend and returns it boxed from [`Vfs::acquire`]. The trait requires [`Send`]. Hosts do not call it directly: [`Access`] calls it after the policy and claims pass. Every path argument is a reference to a [`VfsPath`] that arrives validated, canonical, and relative to the backend's mount, so a backend never checks it again. + +**Required methods.** + +- [`VfsAccess::read`] takes `path` and returns the file's bytes as a [`Vec`] of [`u8`]. Return [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the file is absent. The built-ins return [`VfsError::IsADirectory`] for a directory, and the default [`VfsAccess::grep`] skips files whose read fails that way. +- [`VfsAccess::write`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, and `contents`, a [`&[u8]`](slice) holding the complete new file, and returns `()` once the file is created or overwritten. The built-ins create missing ancestors, and the host backend writes failure-atomically. +- [`VfsAccess::append`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, and `contents`, the bytes to append, and returns `()`. It must create the file when it is absent. +- [`VfsAccess::remove`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, and `recursive`, a [`bool`] that says whether a directory's subtree is removed, and returns `()`. Return [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the path is absent, and an error for a directory without `recursive`. The built-ins use [`VfsError::DirectoryNotEmpty`] for a non-empty one. On a symlink, remove the link, never the target. +- [`VfsAccess::exists`] takes `path` and returns a [`bool`]. Return `false` only for a confirmed absence, and an error when existence cannot be determined. +- [`VfsAccess::glob`] takes `pattern`, a [`&str`](str), and returns the matching stored paths, sorted, as mount-relative virtual paths in a [`Vec`] of [`String`]. Through a router the pattern arrives canonicalized and mount-relative, and the router joins the mount prefix back onto each result. Through a directly wrapped backend it arrives as the caller passed it. Return an error for an invalid pattern. The built-ins use [`VfsError::InvalidPath`]. +- [`VfsAccess::list`] takes `path` and returns the directory's entries as a [`Vec`] of [`Entry`]. Return an error when the path is not a directory. A custom backend cannot construct [`Entry`] values, so it can only return entries from another backend. +- [`VfsAccess::stat`] takes `path` and returns its [`Stat`]. Return [`VfsError::NotFound`] when the path is absent. A custom backend cannot construct a [`Stat`], so it can only return one from another backend. +- [`VfsAccess::mkdir`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, and `recursive`, a [`bool`] that says whether missing ancestors are created too, and returns `()`. The built-ins use [`VfsError::AlreadyExists`] for an existing path. +- [`VfsAccess::rename`] takes `&mut self`, `from`, and `to`, both on this mount, because the router guarantees one mount. It returns `()`, and on failure leaves both paths unchanged. Make it atomic where the backend allows. +- [`VfsAccess::copy`] takes `&mut self`, `from`, a source file, and `to`, on the same mount. It returns `()`, and on failure leaves both paths unchanged. + +**Methods with default bodies.** + +- [`VfsAccess::read_range`] takes `path`, `offset`, a [`u64`] starting byte, and `len`, a [`u64`] maximum byte count. It returns up to `len` bytes from `offset`, empty when `offset` is at or past the end, and clipped at the end of the file. The default body reads the whole file and slices it. It fails as [`VfsAccess::read`] does, and with [`VfsError::Backend`] and "read_range offset {offset} exceeds the addressable size" or "read_range length {len} exceeds the addressable size" when a value does not fit a [`usize`]. Override it to seek, as the host backend does. A router passes it to the mount. The trait's documentation says the handle's line-based ranges are built on this method, but [`Access::read_range`] reads the whole file through [`Access::read`] instead, and [`Access`] exposes no byte-range read. +- [`VfsAccess::str_replace`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, `old`, and `new`, and returns `()` after the rewritten file is written. The default body reads the file, counts matches of `old`, replaces the one occurrence, and writes the result. It fails with [`VfsError::Backend`] and "str_replace requires UTF-8 text: {path}: {source}", "str_replace found no occurrence of {old:?} in {path}", or "str_replace found {count} occurrences of {old:?} in {path}; exactly one is required", or with a read or write failure. A router checks the mount's read-only flag before passing it on. +- [`VfsAccess::grep`] takes `query`, a reference to a [`GrepQuery`] whose root is mount-relative through a router, and returns a [`GrepResults`]. The default body globs `{root}/**/{filter}`, where the filter is [`GrepQuery::glob_filter`] or `*`, and a root of `/` becomes the empty base. It skips directories and files that are not UTF-8, splits lines with [`str::lines`], and matches the pattern as a literal substring, lowercasing both sides when [`GrepQuery::case_insensitive`] is `true`. It stops when a match turns up after [`GrepQuery::max_results`] hits are already collected, and sets [`GrepResults::truncated`]. It fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] and "the default grep matches literal text only; regex requires a backend override" when [`GrepQuery::is_regex`] is `true`, and with errors from glob, from canonicalizing a globbed path, or from reads other than [`VfsError::IsADirectory`]. Override it for indexed or regex search. +- [`VfsAccess::symlink`] takes `&mut self`, `target`, the link's target, passed verbatim because a router neither strips nor resolves it, and `link`, the path of the link to create. The default body fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] and "symlink is not supported by this backend: {link}". +- [`VfsAccess::read_link`] takes `path`, a link, and returns its target as a [`VfsPathBuf`], which an override builds with [`VfsPath::to_buf`]. The default body fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] and "read_link is not supported by this backend: {path}". +- [`VfsAccess::chmod`] takes `&mut self`, `path`, and `mode`, a [`u32`] of POSIX mode bits such as `0o644`. The default body fails with [`VfsError::Unsupported`] and "chmod is not supported by this backend: {path}". + +No [`Access`] method issues [`VfsAccess::symlink`], [`VfsAccess::read_link`], or [`VfsAccess::chmod`] in this version. diff --git a/guide/CONTRIBUTING.md b/guide/CONTRIBUTING.md index 2ca012e2..3a9900b1 100644 --- a/guide/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/guide/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -1,29 +1,15 @@ # Contributing to the guide -The guide has four documentation sets, one per audience: `src/workshop/`, `src/gateway/`, `src/language/`, and `src/agent/`.

It covers every file under the targets. The lens filters capabilities, never files. - -### Stage 2: extract (1 subagent per manifest line) - -Dispatch `` with one file path and the lens block. The subagent writes `guide/scratch//extract/.md`. A file with nothing for this audience yields an extraction with its heading and no items. The empty extractions are the completeness proof. - -GATE 1: check every manifest line against a file in `extract/`. The run does not advance until every line has its file. No sampling.

The subagent writes `guide/scratch//evidence-packet.md` and `guide/scratch//evidence-details.md`. Both files use Simplified Technical English.

Write `guide/scratch//template.md` from the lens block's template shape: one heading per chapter, one fill-in instruction per heading. - -### Stage 7: write (1 subagent per set) - -Dispatch `` with the packet, the details, and the template. One writer per set. Voice consistency requires a single author. The writer appends each chapter to `guide/scratch//drafts/.md` in chunks of at most 100 lines.

Rewrite the tiered items as flat declarative sentences the audience understands. Strip function names, struct names, and code internals. State what the audience sees, configures, or invokes. Include the feature relationships from the dependency annotations. Include the constraints and limits in user terms. Include the technical identity from the recon brief. Include tier-3 items only when they name something the audience would configure, invoke, or observe. When in doubt, omit. - -File 2: the evidence details.

Ground every term before you use it. -4. Frame tasks, not properties. Show what the reader does. -5. For procedural content, use Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one instruction per sentence, active voice, numbered steps. -6. Name the real actors. Do not narrate the document's own structure. Do not announce what a section is about to do. -7. Open every code fence with four backticks. Write no em-dash and no double-dash. Keep each paragraph on one line. -8. Checkpoint: append to the draft file in chunks of at most 100 lines. Never produce a whole chapter in one write. End a complete chapter with `` on the last line.

It writes `change-plan.md`, `change-plan.json`, one `delta-.txt` per page with changes, and one `checklist-.txt` per page whose action is `new`, `update`, or `rename`. + +Each page gets one action: + +| Action | Meaning | Handled by | +|---|---|---| +| `skip` | nothing changed | no step touches the page | +| `update` | the page's delta file lists at least one entry | the page-updater block | +| `new` | a module with no documented page, or every page when `BASELINE` is `none` | the page-writer block | +| `rename` | the module was renamed, and at least 80% of its items moved together | `git mv` in step 3, then the page-updater block when a delta file exists | +| `remove` | the module no longer exists | `git rm` in step 3 | + +Each delta entry starts with its class: `added`, `removed`, `moved-in`, `moved-out`, `changed`, `touched` (the defining source file changed while the signature did not), `unlinked` (a checklist entry that no page links), `bare` (a prose code span that names a Rust symbol without a link), `stale-link` (a link to a removed or moved path), `broken-link` (a rustdoc warning), or `module-map` (on `lib.md` only, when modules were added or removed). + +If every page is `skip`, write the report and stop. + +#### Step 3: Structural edits + +Run `python /scripts/restructure.py apply . /change-plan.json`. It runs `git mv` for renames and `git rm` for removals, writes stubs for new pages, and rewrites intra-doc link paths for moved items and renamed modules on every page. If it prints `MISSING_DOC_ATTR`, add `#![doc = include_str!(".md")]` as the first line inside each named `pub mod` block of `crates/promptforge/src/lib.rs`. A `rename` page with no delta file is complete after this step; list it as completed in the status file's working set, and skip it in steps 4 through 10. + +#### Step 4: Extract + +Before dispatching, reread the binding rules. + +1. Split any delta file with more than 120 entries into batches of 120 entries each, written to `/delta--.txt` with `n` counting from 1. A delta file with 120 entries or fewer is batch 1 and is used as is. +2. Write `/ledger.md` with one unchecked line per batch of every affected page, in the form `- [ ] extract `, before dispatching any job. +3. Dispatch the extract-task block for every ledger line, pool of 8, largest batch first. Set Output to `/extract--.md`. +4. Check off a ledger line when its return says `done` and its output file exists and is non-empty. + +#### Step 5: Tier + +For each page whose action is `new`, dispatch the tier-task block, pool of 8, with Output `/tiered-.md`. Pages with other actions keep their existing structure and skip this step. + +#### Step 6: Verify + +Dispatch the verify-task block once. It runs in a fresh context that wrote none of the extractions. It writes `/verify.md` and, for each page with missing records, `/gaps-.txt` in delta format. + +For each gaps file, add a ledger line `- [ ] gaps ` and dispatch the extract-task block once, with Delta set to the gaps file and Output set to `/extract--gaps.md`. Do not run verify again; the evidence step reads every extract file of the page. + +#### Step 7: Evidence + +Dispatch the evidence-task block once per affected page, pool of 8, with outputs `/evidence-.md` and `/details-.md`. + +#### Step 8: Write the crate page + +Before dispatching, reread the binding rules. If `lib.md` is an affected page, dispatch the page-writer block for it with Kind `crate` when its action is `new`, or the page-updater block otherwise. Run this step alone: the finished `lib.md` is the voice model for every module page written after it. + +#### Step 9: Write the module pages + +Dispatch, in parallel with a pool of 8, the page-writer block with Kind `module` for every affected module page whose action is `new`, and the page-updater block for every affected module page whose action is `update` or `rename`. + +#### Step 10: Audit + +1. Run `cargo doc -p promptforge --no-deps ` with `RUSTDOCFLAGS=--cap-lints=warn` and output sent to `/pre-audit-doc.log`, then `cargo test -p promptforge --doc --no-fail-fast ` with output sent to `/pre-audit-doctest.log`. +2. Run `python /scripts/check_docs.py split . /pre-audit /pre-audit-doc.log /pre-audit-doctest.log` to write `/pre-audit/failures-.txt` per page with failures. +3. Dispatch the audit-task block once per affected page, `lib.md` included, pool of 8. Set Failures to the page's `pre-audit/failures-.txt`, or `none` when that file does not exist. Each auditor runs in a fresh context that did not write the page. + +#### Step 11: Gates + +Before the first round, reread the binding rules. Run up to 3 rounds, numbered `r` from 1. In each round, run the gates below one command at a time, with every log and failures file under `/gate-round-/`: + +1. Coverage: `python /scripts/check_docs.py coverage . /checklist-head.txt /gate-round-/coverage.md /gate-round-`. Pass: `missing=0`, `hits=0` on the bare line, and `hits=0` on the banned line. +2. Surface: `cargo + xtask api --check` with output sent to `gate-round-/api.log`. If it reports violations, run `python /scripts/rewrite_variant_links.py . /gate-round-/api.log`, then run the check again into `api-2.log`. Pass: `0 violations`. +3. Docs: `cargo doc -p promptforge --no-deps ` with `RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings` and output sent to `gate-round-/doc.log`. Pass: exit 0. +4. Doctests: `cargo test -p promptforge --doc --no-fail-fast ` with output sent to `gate-round-/doctest.log`. Pass: every doctest passes. +5. Untouched pages: for every page whose action is `skip`, `git diff --quiet -- crates/promptforge/src/`. Pass: exit 0. Skipped when `BASELINE` is `none`. On failure, restore the page with `git checkout -- crates/promptforge/src/`; the restore is the fix. + +After the gates, run `python /scripts/check_docs.py split . /gate-round- /gate-round-/api-2.log /gate-round-/doc.log /gate-round-/doctest.log`, passing only the logs that exist. It adds each page's surface, rustdoc, and doctest failures to that page's `failures-.txt` in the round directory, beside the coverage failures from gate 1. If every gate passed, go to step 12. Otherwise dispatch the fix-task block once per `failures-.txt` in the round directory, pool of 8, then start the next round. + +#### Step 12: Report + +Write `/report.md`: the change plan's summary line, one line per page with its action, the result of every gate in the last round, every line of `findings.md`, and the open problems from the status file. Print the report's path. + +### Artifact trace + +Every artifact is created by the imperative in the step named in the second column. + +| Artifact under `` | Created in | Read in | +|---|---|---| +| `extract_scripts.py`, `scripts/*.py` | step 1 | steps 1-3, 10, 11 | +| `findings.md` | step 1, then every dispatch return | steps 7, 12 | +| `status.md` | step 1, then every step | every step | +| `baseline/` worktree, `baseline-target/`, `base-doc.log` | step 1 | step 1 | +| `checklist-head.txt`, `checklist-base.txt`, `head-doc.log` | step 1 | steps 2, 11 | +| `change-plan.md`, `change-plan.json`, `delta-.txt`, `checklist-.txt` | step 2 | steps 3-10 | +| `delta--.txt`, `ledger.md` | step 4 | steps 4, 6 | +| `extract--.md` | step 4 | steps 5-7 | +| `tiered-.md` | step 5 | steps 6, 7 | +| `verify.md`, `gaps-.txt` | step 6 | steps 6, 7 | +| `extract--gaps.md` | step 6 | step 7 | +| `evidence-.md`, `details-.md` | step 7 | steps 8-11 | +| `writer-check-.md` | steps 8, 9 | the writer that made it | +| `pre-audit-doc.log`, `pre-audit-doctest.log`, `pre-audit/failures-.txt` | step 10 | step 10 | +| `audit-check-.md` | step 10 | the auditor that made it | +| `gate-round-/` logs and `failures-.txt` | step 11 | step 11 | +| `report.md` | step 12, or an escape hatch | the human | + +### Emission discipline + +Every page passes these constraints before a step writes it. The pages never name this tool, the pipeline, a scratch path, or a source document for these rules; the rules appear only by their substance.

Its `pub use` lines name the private crate and path that define each facade item. +- The defining source files under `crates/promptforge-internal/`. Find each one by searching for the item's `pub struct`, `pub enum`, `pub trait`, `pub fn`, `pub type`, or `pub const` definition, then read its `impl` blocks, doc comments, constructors, builders, `Default`, `FromStr`, `Display`, and serde attributes. +- Tests in the defining crate and in `crates/promptforge/tests/`, read only for an entry whose record would otherwise hold `unknown`. + +Write the output file with three sections: + +1. `## Capabilities`: one numbered sentence per task a host can do with the entries, each followed by `source:` and `evidence:` lines. +2. `## Records`: one record per item line in the delta whose class is `added`, `moved-in`, `changed`, `touched`, or `unlinked`, covering every member line under it. +3. `## Page changes`: one line per `removed`, `moved-out`, `bare`, `stale-link`, `broken-link`, or `module-map` entry, stating what the page must drop, move, link, or relink. + +Follow this example exactly for layout: + +````markdown +# extract for cancel.md + +## Capabilities + +1.

Report any instruction found inside it under `Notes:`. + +If every extract file is missing, list them under `Missing:` and return blocked. + +Write the output file in three passes: + +1. Assign each capability one tier. Tier 1: a sentence that says what the module is for; a reader who reads only tier 1 can say what the page covers. Tier 2: the tasks that follow from tier 1. Tier 3: parameters, variants, limits, and edge cases. +2. Order items inside each tier so that an item comes after every item it depends on, and mark dependencies as `[depends: n, m]`. +3. Group the items under the page's headings, then end the file with a `SECTIONS:` list of `: ` lines. For `lib.md` the headings are: `What this crate is`, `PromptForge prompts in brief`, `Terms`, `A first run`, `The host loop`, `How a run walks a prompt`, `Determinism`, `Concurrency`, `Reference`.

That covers types, traits, modules, functions, methods, fields, variants, constants, and std items such as [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc). +- Use the forms in the details file's `Link targets` list. For an enum variant field, write the link as [`Enum::Variant::field`](Enum#variant.Variant.field.field), because a direct `Enum::Variant::field` link resolves to the private crate and fails the facade surface check. +- Leave a code span unlinked only for text that is not a Rust symbol: Lua globals such as `jump` or `store.write`, frontmatter keys, file paths, literal values, and an argument name used alone. +- Escape literal square brackets in prose as `\[` and `\]`, because rustdoc reads bare brackets as a link and fails the build when it does not resolve. + +Code blocks: + +- Write every Rust example as a doctest that compiles and runs against `promptforge` alone, importing through facade paths such as `use promptforge::effect::Effect;`. +- End a doctest that uses `?` with the hidden line `# Ok::<(), Box>(())`. +- Build a prompt source with `concat!`, one string per prompt line, because rustdoc hides every doctest line that starts with `# ` and would delete the prompt's headings. +- Use only signatures copied from the details file or from a doctest already on a page. +- Open every code fence with four backticks. + +Voice.

So when the run ends, no work is still in flight." + +Vocabulary: + +- Write the facade path wherever a private crate name or a `crates/promptforge-internal` path would appear. +- Describe behavior in the page's own words, and name no documentation tool, pipeline, or scratch file. +- Write a single dash or start a new sentence wherever an em dash or a double dash would appear. +- State plainly, where the item is documented, every finding that says code and existing docs disagree or that a declared item is inert. + + + + + +Write one page from scratch, from its evidence, in the voice of the crate page. + +Fields: + +- Page: +- Kind: , either `crate` for `lib.md` or `module` for every other page +- Evidence: +- Details:

A final paragraph holding only `**`. + +For `module`: + +1. No heading: a one-sentence module summary, then one paragraph of tier-1 orientation. +2. `Where this fits`: the evidence's host-loop paragraph, with links. +3. 1-3 tour sections with headings you name after their task: a worked doctest near the top, then 2-4 smaller examples, each teaching one principle, from simple to complex. +4. `Reference`: one level-2 heading per public type, free function, and type alias.

From c09513f031198507352d77950012095a89568202 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinnie Falco Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:08:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Scaffold per-product doc books and a landing page Each product is getting its own self-contained documentation, with separate navigation and search, gathered under one site behind a landing page. This change adds the static pieces of that site: book configurations for the Gateway, Workshop, and Language guides, a shared script that puts an "All docs" link in each book's menu bar, a placeholder Workshop chapter, and a landing page that introduces the system and links to every product. Nothing in this change builds or publishes these files, and it modifies no existing file. - `guide/books/gateway/book.toml`: The Gateway, Workshop, and Language guides each get a separate mdBook config with its own title and a `site-url` under `/promptforge/`, so each guide is its own site with its own navigation and search. All three load the shared `back-link.js` through `additional-js`. - `guide/chrome/back-link.js`: One shared script adds the "All docs" link to every book's menu bar. It depends on two mdBook internals it does not declare: the `path_to_root` global and the `#menu-bar .right-buttons` markup. - `guide/landing/index.html`: The landing page is hand-written HTML with a title, tagline, and intro, then a four-row `products` table for PromptForge, Harness, Workshop, and Gateway. Its links fix the site layout at one folder per product, with the Prompt Language and Agent Programs guides as the `language/language/` and `language/agent/` sections of one book. - `addLink`: The link targets `path_to_root + "../index.html"`, a file one folder above the book root rather than a folder, so it also opens the landing page under `file://`. When the menu bar selector matches nothing, it logs a `console.warn` and adds no link. - `guide/landing/style.css`: The table splits text and image about 60/40 and stacks into one column below 800 pixels, and each image slot is a fixed 320 by 200 pixel dashed box. - `additional-js`: The configs name `back-link.js` and `src` relative to themselves, but this change adds the script under `guide/chrome/` and adds no `src` folder under `guide/books/`. Nothing in this change reads the configs or builds the books. - `promptforge/index.html`: Every landing link targets a per-product folder that this change does not build, and this change adds no link check. - `guide/src/workshop/01-stub.md`: The Workshop guide holds only a `# Coming Soon` heading. - `image-slot`: Every product row shows a dashed "image" placeholder whose comment names the intended file, such as `img/promptforge.png`, and `guide/landing/img/` holds only a `.gitkeep`.

    PromptForge

    +

    Prompts as programs. Human judgment as source code.

    + +

    PromptForge starts from one premise: human intent is the source code, and everything downstream of it (plans, prompts, reports) is a build artifact. Source is versioned and artifacts are regenerated, so getting a result back costs a run, not a reconstruction.

    + +

    That ordering follows from scarcity. Human judgment is scarce and model output is abundant, so models advise and compare while people decide. PromptForge protects the judgment you invest in two ways. The structure of your method lives in the prompt file itself, where the runtime enforces it: the sections, the control flow, and the models and tools the prompt may use. A rule written there cannot be forgotten when a model's context fills up. And every run is recorded, so the reasoning that built a pipeline is never lost.

    + +

    A PromptForge prompt is a Markdown file. The prose says what you want, and small Lua blocks decide what happens next: which model to ask, which tool to call, which section runs, and what fans out in parallel. The control flow belongs to you, not to the model. Runs are deterministic: replaying a recorded run with the same answers reproduces the same steps, so a run can be tested and audited. And because the program hosting a run performs all of its outside work, that program can stop a run cleanly at any point.

    + +

    The system has four components, and each one has its own documentation. They connect in one direction. The Workshop sits on the Harness, the Harness runs PromptForge programs, and every model call leaves through the Gateway. Each also stands on its own: you can embed PromptForge in your own Rust program, or run the Gateway as a standalone service for any OpenAI-compatible client.

    + +

    Where to start. To use PromptForge day to day, start with the Workshop. To run models for yourself or a team, start with the Gateway. To write prompts, read the Prompt Language guide. To embed prompt execution in your own program, start with the PromptForge API.

    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    +

    PromptForge

    +

    The library at the center. It parses PromptForge prompt files and runs them as a sans-I/O state machine. A run never opens a socket, touches a file, or reads the clock. It hands your program each model call, tool call, and timer as an effect, and it reports what happened as events. Every piece of outside work stays under the host's control.

    +

    +    		 + +

    +
    +

    Harness

    +

    The runtime that puts PromptForge to work. It drives runs on an async runtime and performs their effects: model calls through the Gateway, web fetch and web search tools, and run-scoped files. It also supervises agent sessions and writes every run's effects, answers, and events to an append-only log. Clients like the Workshop reach it through one public API.

    +
    +

    Workshop

    +

    The desktop application. It hosts the Harness in-process and opens a window onto your workspace, where you write and run prompts and agents with every run on the record. On startup it attaches to a running Gateway, or launches one if none is running.

    +

    +
    +

    Gateway

    +

    The one process that talks to model backends. It serves an OpenAI-compatible API (chat completions, embeddings, rerank, speech, and transcription), holds every credential, and routes each request to a configured remote provider or a local model on your own hardware. Nothing above it ever holds a vendor key.

They run `cargo run -p build-user-guide` for checks and single-file exports, and preview with `cargo xtask site --books-only`. + - Maintainer: runs `cargo xtask site` for a full local build, then opens `target/site/index.html`. + - CI: on push to main/master or manual dispatch, builds the full site and deploys it.

Its layout and full copy are specified under Technical Design. + - `/promptforge/` - rustdoc of `promptforge`. + - `/harness/` - rustdoc of `harness-api`. + - `/gateway/` - mdBook, part The Gateway. + - `/workshop/` - mdBook, part The Workshop (stub). + - `/language/` - mdBook, parts The Prompt Language and Agent Programs. + - Inputs: + - Chapters under `guide/src//`. + - Per-book configs under `guide/books//book.toml`. + - Landing files under `guide/landing/`. + - Shared navigation files under `guide/chrome/`. + - The crate docs of `promptforge` and `harness-api`. + - Output: `target/site/`, uploaded as the Pages artifact. +- States and validation: + - Every chapter file has an H1 title (existing assembler check). + - No chapter presents the removed `[workshop.stt]` section as usable unless it is described as rejected (existing check, now run over every set). + - Every SUMMARY link resolves, checked per book. + - `stage` rejects a relative output path. + - Every link on the site resolves when the site is opened from disk over `file://`, following the link rule under Technical Design. + - `cargo xtask site` fails when any landing-page link does not resolve to a built file. +- Errors and recovery: + - Any failed check, mdBook error, or rustdoc error makes `cargo xtask site` exit nonzero and name the failure. + - On a PR the failure shows on the PR. The check is not required, so it never blocks merging. + - On main, the deploy job does not run after a failed build, and the previously deployed site stays live. +- Security and privacy behavior: + - The site is static and holds no secrets. + - Pages permissions (`pages: write`, `id-token: write`) are exercised only by the deploy path. PR runs never upload or deploy. + - The repository guard (`github.repository == 'cppalliance/promptforge'`) stays on both jobs, so forks never build or deploy. +- Acceptance criteria: + - `cargo xtask site` produces the full site map above in `target/site/`, and a second run with no changes produces it again in full. + - Every landing link and every "All docs" link works when the site is opened from disk over `file://`. + - `target/site/harness/crates.js` lists only `harness_api`. + - `git status` is clean after a build. + - A docs PR runs the books-only check; a code-only PR does not trigger the site workflow. + + + + +## Technical Design + +Chapter sources stay where authors write them; a stage step copies them into per-book mdBook trees under `target/`, so the checked-in tree is never touched. A new `cargo xtask site` command drives the whole build. It stages the books, runs mdBook on each, runs rustdoc for the two API crates in an isolated target folder, and copies in the landing page. Two small shared files put an "All docs" link on every rustdoc and mdBook page. A new Pages workflow runs the command and deploys the result. + +- Architecture: + +```mermaid +flowchart LR + chapters["guide/src/SET"] -->|stage| staged[staged books] + staged -->|mdbook build| books[mdBook sites] + crates[facade crates] -->|cargo doc| rdoc[rustdoc sites] + landing[guide/landing] -->|copy| site[target/site] + books --> site + rdoc --> site + site -->|upload| pages[GitHub Pages] +``` + + - Staged books live in `target/site-books/`; the rustdoc build uses `target/site-doc/`; the assembled site is `target/site/`. All three are under `target/`, which is already ignored. + - Books are staged rather than moved because `tools/document.md`, `guide/CONTRIBUTING.md`, and `crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs` depend on chapters living in `guide/src//` and scratch in `guide/scratch//`. No chapter links across sets, so the split is safe. +- Modules and interfaces: + - `build-user-guide` book table, the only list of books; nothing else names them: + +```rust +const BOOKS: &[(&str, &[(&str, &str)])] = &[ + ("gateway", &[("gateway", "The Gateway")]), + ("workshop", &[("workshop", "The Workshop")]), + ("language", &[("language", "The Prompt Language"), ("agent", "Agent Programs")]), +]; +``` + + - `cargo run -p build-user-guide` (no arguments): runs the `[workshop.stt]` check over every set in `BOOKS` and writes the per-set single-file exports `guide/promptforge--guide.md`, now including `promptforge-workshop-guide.md`. It no longer writes a shared SUMMARY and no longer requires `guide/src/introduction.md`. + - `cargo run -p build-user-guide -- stage `: `` must be absolute, and a relative path is rejected. For each book, it copies `guide/books//book.toml`, `guide/chrome/back-link.js`, and the book's set folders into `//`. It then renders each set's `index.md` and the book's `SUMMARY.md` there and runs the SUMMARY link check per book. It never writes to the checked-in tree. + - `cargo xtask site [--books-only]`, run in this order: + 1. Clear `target/site/` and `target/site-books/`. + 2. Run `cargo run -p build-user-guide -- stage /target/site-books` as a subprocess, so `build-xtask` still depends on no workspace crates. Every path the xtask passes to a child process is absolute, built from the workspace root. + 3. For each folder `stage` produced (read the directory; do not hardcode book names), run `$MDBOOK build /target/site-books/ -d /target/site/`. `MDBOOK` is an environment variable that defaults to `mdbook`. + 4. For `(promptforge, promptforge)` and `(harness, harness-api)`: + - Run `cargo clean --doc --target-dir /target/site-doc`. + - Run `cargo doc -p --no-deps --target-dir /target/site-doc` with default features, the facade as hosts read it. + - Pass the banner through `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTDOCFLAGS` as `--html-before-content`, the `0x1f` separator, and the banner's absolute path. Never use `RUSTDOCFLAGS`, which splits on spaces and breaks on a checkout path that contains one. + - Copy `target/site-doc/doc` to `target/site//`, and write a redirect `index.html` there pointing to `/index.html`. + 5. Copy `guide/landing/*` to `target/site/`. + 6. Landing link check: scan `target/site/index.html` for every `href="..."` value. Ignore `http:`, `https:`, `mailto:`, and `#` targets. Every remaining href must end in a file name and resolve to an existing file under `target/site/`. With `--books-only`, skip hrefs whose first path segment is `promptforge` or `harness`, because those folders are not built. On failure, exit nonzero and list every broken href. A plain string scan is enough; no HTML parser dependency is added. + - `--books-only` skips step 4. It is for PR runs and fast local previews of chapter edits. + - The link check covers only the static landing links. The "All docs" links are built in JavaScript at page load, so they stay a manual `file://` check. + - Navigation chrome: + - `guide/chrome/banner.html` is the rustdoc "All docs" bar, injected through `--html-before-content`. + - `guide/chrome/back-link.js` is the mdBook "All docs" link, injected into the menu bar through `additional-js`. + - Both compute the site root relatively: rustdoc from `data-root-path` on the `rustdoc-vars` meta tag, mdBook from the `path_to_root` global. Their links therefore work under `file://` and under the Pages prefix. +- File and public API changes: + - New scaffolding: + - `guide/books//book.toml` for `gateway`, `workshop`, and `language`, each with `site-url = "/promptforge//"` and `additional-js = ["back-link.js"]`. + - `guide/landing/index.html` and `guide/landing/style.css` with the landing page as specified, plus `guide/landing/img/.gitkeep`. + - `guide/chrome/banner.html` and `guide/chrome/back-link.js`. + - `guide/src/workshop/01-stub.md`, H1 only, so the assembler's H1 check passes. + - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.md`, a one-line title stub. + - `crates/build-user-guide/src/main.rs`: replace `SETS` with `BOOKS`, add the `stage` mode, and update the tests. Split the staging code into a `stage.rs` module if the file passes 500 lines. + - `crates/build-xtask/src/main.rs`: add a `Some("site")` arm and update `usage()`. The command itself lives in a new `crates/build-xtask/src/site.rs`, using `std::fs` copy helpers rather than the shell so it runs on Windows. + - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.rs`: add `#![doc = include_str!("lib.md")]` above the existing `//!` block. The existing invariants text stays after it. + - New `.github/workflows/site.yml`, based on `.github/workflows/guide.yml`: + - It adds the pinned `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` and `Swatinem/rust-cache` action SHAs used in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, keeps the existing mdBook 0.4.44 download, and runs `MDBOOK=$PWD/mdbook cargo xtask site`. + - Triggers: `push` to main/master and `workflow_dispatch`, for a full build and deploy, unfiltered. It runs after merge, so nobody waits on it. + - Also triggered by `pull_request`, with a path filter so ordinary code PRs never trigger it: + +```yaml +pull_request: + paths: + - guide/** + - crates/build-user-guide/** + - crates/build-xtask/src/site.rs + - .github/workflows/site.yml +``` + + - PR runs call `cargo xtask site --books-only`. The "Docs" and "Facade docs" steps in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` already build the `promptforge` and `harness-api` rustdoc on every PR. The PR check covers what CI does not: staging, the `[workshop.stt]` and H1 checks, SUMMARY links, mdBook, and the landing copy. + - `actions/configure-pages`, `upload-pages-artifact`, and the deploy job are gated on `github.event_name != 'pull_request'`. The repository guard stays on both jobs. + - Concurrency: deploys keep the shared `pages` group, with no cancel. PR runs use their own group, `site-pr-${{ github.ref }}`, with `cancel-in-progress: true`. They never queue behind a deploy, and a new push to a PR cancels its stale run. + - It stays a separate workflow and is not made a required check, so it never gates merges of code PRs. + - Housekeeping (factual path and command edits only, no new prose): + - `documentation =` URLs: update only the facade crates. `crates/promptforge/Cargo.toml` becomes `https://cppalliance.github.io/promptforge/promptforge/promptforge/index.html`, and `crates/harness-api/Cargo.toml` becomes `https://cppalliance.github.io/promptforge/harness/harness_api/index.html`. + - `tools/document.md` lines 89 and 288: `mdbook build guide` becomes `cargo xtask site --books-only`. + - `guide/CONTRIBUTING.md`: the assembler owns the staged SUMMARY and index files, and the build command changes. + - `crates/README.md`: update the `build-user-guide` description. + - `.gitignore`: drop `/guide/book/`. + - Retire (move to the trash tree `c:\Users\Vinnie\cursor\cabinet\_trash\promptforge2\`, keeping each file's repository-relative path, never delete): `guide/book.toml`, `guide/src/SUMMARY.md`, `guide/src/gateway/index.md`, `guide/src/language/index.md`, `guide/src/agent/index.md`, and `.github/workflows/guide.yml`. + - Left for the owner: + - `guide/src/introduction.md` stays in place, but no book uses it. It is landing-page source material, and the `intro` lens in `tools/document.md` still targets it. + - The landing images (every row ships an image slot), the Workshop chapters, and the Harness `lib.md` body. + - Delete `guide/src/workshop/01-stub.md` when the first real Workshop chapter lands. The authoring tooling writes `NN-.md`, so otherwise the stub sits beside `01-.md` and both appear in the book. +- Data, persistence, failure, security, and privacy constraints: + - The site build writes only under `target/`. The checked-in tree stays clean. + - The separate `target/site-doc` keeps the banner flag from invalidating the developer's normal `target/doc`. The cost is one extra check build of the harness dependency tree, which the CI cache absorbs. + - Deploy-only permissions and steps never run on PR events. + - Link rule for the whole site: every link targets a file, never a folder - `gateway/index.html`, not `gateway/`. Under `file://` a folder link opens a directory listing instead of the page. This applies to the landing links, the banner, the back-link script, and the rustdoc redirects. + - All written copy uses plain English and never uses em dashes or double dashes. + - Staged SUMMARY files carry no `Introduction` entry; each book opens on its first set's `index.md`. + - Local prerequisites for building and testing: mdBook 0.4.x on `PATH` or named by `MDBOOK`, `cargo-nextest`, and Node for `crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs`. A step whose tests need a missing prerequisite returns blocked and names it. + +### Existing repository state + +- Current Pages deploy: `.github/workflows/guide.yml` builds `./mdbook build guide` with mdBook 0.4.44 and uploads `guide/book`. It is guarded by `github.repository == 'cppalliance/promptforge'` and uses concurrency group `pages` with no cancel. +- CI doc steps in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`: + - The `docs` job sets `RUSTDOCFLAGS: -D warnings` and installs Node 22 for the UI crates. + - It runs `cargo doc --workspace --no-deps --all-features --exclude workshop --exclude workshop-server --exclude workshop-server-api`. + - It also runs `cargo doc -p promptforge --no-deps`, commented "The facade as hosts read it: the topic docs build with default features." + - The Workshop crates are documented separately on Windows, and the Linux Tauri build needs `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`. +- Guide assembler: `crates/build-user-guide/src/main.rs`. + - `SETS` lists `gateway`, `language`, and `agent`. + - It requires `guide/src/introduction.md`, runs the `[workshop.stt]` check, regenerates `guide/src/SUMMARY.md` and each `guide/src//index.md`, and writes `guide/promptforge--guide.md`. + - `check_links` verifies SUMMARY link targets. Its tests build a fake guide tree that already includes a `workshop` set. +- Guide dependents: + - `tools/document.md` writes chapters to `guide/src//NN-.md` and scratch to `guide/scratch//`. It runs the assembler and requires `mdbook build guide` to pass (lines 89 and 288). + - `guide/CONTRIBUTING.md` says the assembler owns SUMMARY and the per-set index files, and that CI never runs the generator. + - `crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs` walks the markdown under `guide/src`. + - `crates/README.md` describes `build-user-guide`. + - `.gitignore` ignores `/guide/book/` and `/guide/scratch/`. +- `tools/dokuman-promptforge.md` maintains `crates/promptforge/src/lib.md` and one `.md` per `pub mod` in `crates/promptforge/src/lib.rs`. This plan edits none of those pages. The new `crates/harness-api/src/lib.md` stub uses the same `lib.md` plus `include_str!` shape, so the same kind of tooling can target it later. +- Cross-set links: no chapter under `guide/src//` links to another set. Only `guide/src/introduction.md` and the generated `guide/src/SUMMARY.md` point across sets. +- Build tooling: + - `crates/build-xtask/src/main.rs` dispatches subcommands (`new-crate`, `api`, `tidy`), and its crate docs state it depends on no workspace crates. + - `.cargo/config.toml` defines the `xtask` alias as `run -p build-xtask --`. + - `rust-toolchain.toml` pins the `stable` channel. + - Crate docs across the workspace state a 500-line limit per file. + - The workspace denies clippy `all` and `pedantic` (`Cargo.toml`). +- Crate facts behind the tool choices: + - `crates/promptforge/src/lib.rs` builds its docs from `lib.md` and 14 topic `.md` files via `include_str!`. + - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.rs` has only a short `//!` block, mostly internal invariants. + - Neither `crates/promptforge/Cargo.toml` nor `crates/harness-api/Cargo.toml` defines features. + - Every workspace crate is `publish = false`, and most set `documentation = "https://cppalliance.github.io/promptforge/"`. + - `crates/gateway/app/Cargo.toml`'s default `config-ui` feature needs Node 22. + - `crates/workshop/server-api/src/lib.rs` is re-exports only, for the desktop app. + - `crates/build-xtask/src/product.rs` names `promptforge` and `harness-api` as the public faces of their families. + +### Landing page + +`guide/landing/index.html` holds a title, the intro prose, and then a `` with four rows and two columns. The left cell starts with the product name in bold, followed by the description and its doc links. The right cell is an image slot: a fixed-size `
    ` with a dashed border and the label "image", plus a comment naming the intended file (`img/.png`). The owner swaps it for an `` when the art exists. `guide/landing/style.css` sets the column widths (about 60/40) and stacks the columns below 800px. + +The copy below is written in full and ships verbatim. + +**Title:** PromptForge + +**Tagline:** Prompts as programs. Human judgment as source code. + +**Intro:** + +> PromptForge starts from one premise: human intent is the source code, and everything downstream of it (plans, prompts, reports) is a build artifact. Source is versioned and artifacts are regenerated, so getting a result back costs a run, not a reconstruction. +> +> That ordering follows from scarcity. Human judgment is scarce and model output is abundant, so models advise and compare while people decide. PromptForge protects the judgment you invest in two ways. The structure of your method lives in the prompt file itself, where the runtime enforces it: the sections, the control flow, and the models and tools the prompt may use. A rule written there cannot be forgotten when a model's context fills up. And every run is recorded, so the reasoning that built a pipeline is never lost. +> +> A PromptForge prompt is a Markdown file. The prose says what you want, and small Lua blocks decide what happens next: which model to ask, which tool to call, which section runs, and what fans out in parallel. The control flow belongs to you, not to the model. Runs are deterministic: replaying a recorded run with the same answers reproduces the same steps, so a run can be tested and audited. And because the program hosting a run performs all of its outside work, that program can stop a run cleanly at any point. +> +> The system has four components, and each one has its own documentation. They connect in one direction. The Workshop sits on the Harness, the Harness runs PromptForge programs, and every model call leaves through the Gateway. Each also stands on its own: you can embed PromptForge in your own Rust program, or run the Gateway as a standalone service for any OpenAI-compatible client. +> +> **Where to start.** To use PromptForge day to day, start with the Workshop. To run models for yourself or a team, start with the Gateway. To write prompts, read the Prompt Language guide. To embed prompt execution in your own program, start with the PromptForge API. + +**Table rows** (left cell; the right cell is the image slot in every row): + +- **PromptForge** - The library at the center. It parses PromptForge prompt files and runs them as a sans-I/O state machine. A run never opens a socket, touches a file, or reads the clock. It hands your program each model call, tool call, and timer as an *effect*, and it reports what happened as *events*. Every piece of outside work stays under the host's control. Links: [API reference](promptforge/index.html) and [Prompt Language guide](language/language/index.html). +- **Harness** - The runtime that puts PromptForge to work. It drives runs on an async runtime and performs their effects: model calls through the Gateway, web fetch and web search tools, and run-scoped files. It also supervises agent sessions and writes every run's effects, answers, and events to an append-only log. Clients like the Workshop reach it through one public API. Links: [API reference](harness/index.html) and [Agent Programs guide](language/agent/index.html). +- **Workshop** - The desktop application. It hosts the Harness in-process and opens a window onto your workspace, where you write and run prompts and agents with every run on the record. On startup it attaches to a running Gateway, or launches one if none is running. Links: [Workshop guide](workshop/index.html). +- **Gateway** - The one process that talks to model backends. It serves an OpenAI-compatible API (chat completions, embeddings, rerank, speech, and transcription), holds every credential, and routes each request to a configured remote provider or a local model on your own hardware. Nothing above it ever holds a vendor key. Links: [Gateway guide](gateway/index.html). + +Copy sources: + +- Premise, scarcity, and "moving parts": `guide/src/introduction.md`. +- Sans-I/O runs, effects and events, and prompt structure: `crates/promptforge/src/lib.md`. +- Determinism and replay: `crates/promptforge/src/replay.md`. +- Harness runtime, tools, and log: the crate docs in `crates/harness/runner/Cargo.toml`, `crates/harness/web/Cargo.toml`, `crates/harness/log/src/lib.rs`, and `crates/harness-api/src/lib.rs`. +- Workshop boot and window: `crates/workshop/desktop/src/main.rs`. +- Gateway surface: `crates/gateway/app/src/lib.rs`. +- Corrections to the old introduction: + - Its "hash-chained" event store claim is dropped. No crate contains a hash chain; `crates/harness/log/src/lib.rs` describes an append-only Turso record. + - Its "compiles the structural rules of your method into the runtime" line is restated as what the code does (`crates/promptforge/src/lib.md`): frontmatter declares the models, tools, and capabilities a prompt may use, the parser rejects unknown keys, and control flow lives in the prompt's Lua. + + + + +## Testing Plan + +Unit tests cover the book table, staging, and the existing checks inside `build-user-guide`. A full local build, run twice, proves the site assembles and rebuilds cleanly. A click-through over `file://` proves every link resolves. Two workflow runs prove the PR check fires only for docs changes. + +- Unit: + - `cargo test -p build-user-guide`: tests use `BOOKS` rather than `SETS`. New tests cover: `stage` writes one folder per book with its `book.toml`, `back-link.js`, set folders, and `SUMMARY.md`; `stage` rejects a relative output path; the per-book link check rejects a missing target; assembly stays deterministic. The existing chapter-order, index, link-check, and `[workshop.stt]` tests keep passing. + - `cargo test -p build-xtask` keeps passing with the new `site` arm, and adds tests for the landing link check: all hrefs resolving passes, a missing target fails and is named, a folder href fails, external and fragment hrefs are ignored, and the books-only skip applies only to `promptforge/` and `harness/`. +- Integration and end-to-end: + - Run `cargo xtask site` locally. Open `target/site/index.html` over `file://`, click every product-table link, then click each "All docs" link in all five sites. + - `target/site/harness/crates.js` lists only `harness_api`. This confirms that `cargo clean --doc` isolates the sites. If it does not, fall back to one `--target-dir` per product. + - Run `cargo xtask site` a second time with no changes, and confirm both rustdoc folders are fully populated again. This proves a clean doc folder forces a real rebuild on repeat runs. + - `cargo xtask site --books-only` produces the landing page and the three books, and no rustdoc folders. +- Regression, security, and performance: + - Clippy on `build-user-guide` and `build-xtask` passes; the workspace denies clippy pedantic (`Cargo.toml` `[workspace.lints.clippy]`). + - `crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs` still finds markdown under `guide/src`. + - The "Docs" and "Facade docs" steps in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` are unchanged and still pass. + - `git status` is clean after a build: nothing is written to the checked-in tree. +- Exit criteria: + - Every local item above passes. + - Operator checks after the branch is pushed and merged, which no local commit cycle can run: + - A PR touching `guide/src/` runs the site workflow books-only and neither uploads nor deploys. + - A PR touching only crate code outside the path filter does not trigger the site workflow. + - A warm-cache PR run finishes in about a minute. + - The first push to main deploys the landing page at `https://cppalliance.github.io/promptforge/`, with all five product sites reachable from it. + + + + +## Decision Record + +The owner chose one assembled Pages site with a separate site per product and a hand-written landing page, and chose the tool for each product. Chapter sources stay in place and are staged at build time so the owner's authoring tooling keeps working. The owner delegated review fixes, which set the rules for paths, links, features, flags, and the PR check. No decision is open. + +- Decisions: + - One Pages site, one CI job building every doc set into a subfolder of one folder, with a hand-written landing page at the root. Rationale: GitHub Pages serves one site per repository. Owner: "Yes this: The main constraint is that GitHub Pages gives you one site per repo". + - Separate docs per product plus a landing page listing every component. Owner: "I want each product to have its own. Separate doc, and I wanna have. A landing page that has the list of all the components." + - Tool mix: rustdoc for PromptForge and Harness, mdBook for Gateway and Workshop, HTML landing page. Rationale: plain HTML allows a custom layout with images, which mdBook's theme resists. Owner: "RustDoc for PromptForge and Harness, mdbook for Gateway and Workshop, and maybe even HTML for the landing page so we can do 2 column layout plus images". + - Prompt Language and Agent Programs become a third mdBook at `/language/`, linked from the PromptForge and Harness rows. Owner selected: "Keep them as a third mdBook (e.g. /language/), linked from the PromptForge and Harness cards". + - The Gateway is mdBook only, with no wire-types rustdoc. An earlier selection ("Gateway user guide as primary, rustdoc for gateway-api-types (+ discovery) as secondary") conflicted with the later tool mix; the owner ruled that the later statement governs. Owner: "RustDoc for PromptForge and Harness, mdbook for Gateway and Workshop". + - The Workshop gets a user guide rather than rustdoc. Rationale: no outside Rust consumers, and its crates need Node/esbuild and webkit2gtk to build. Owner selected: "A new Workshop user guide / download page, no rustdoc". + - Content scope is stubs only, except the landing page. Owner: "dont be writing anything new just leave stubs. the writing I will take care of with other custom dokuman-flavored tooling". The later landing request is a scoped exception: "write me a decent intro on the landing page which explains what this all is. use the existing material for that and add what you think best". + - The landing page is a table with one row per product and two columns: a description with the name in bold first, and an image placeholder. Owner: "I want a table on the landing page, one row for each product, two columns. a description of the component (name in bold first) and the 2nd column is a placeholder for a custom image". + - Chapter sources stay in `guide/src//`, and books are staged into `target/site-books/`. Rationale: the owner's authoring tooling, the contributing guide, and a UI test depend on those paths. + - Review fixes adopted: file-targeted links, `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTDOCFLAGS`, absolute child-process paths, default-feature rustdoc, `BOOKS` as the only book list, `documentation =` updates only on the facade crates, the stub deletion note, and the intro wording corrections. Owner: "do the fixes you think best". + - The PR-time check is path-filtered, books-only, in its own cancelable concurrency group, and not required. Owner: "a PR-time check sounds reasonable as long as it doesn't slow down regular code commits". + - Steps 1 and 3 of the first decomposition (static configs, back-link, Workshop stub, and landing page) are one step. Rationale: they are static files with no Rust tests, and each step costs a full code, review, fix, and message cycle. Owner selected: "Merge Steps 1 and 3 into one scaffolding step". + - `cargo xtask site` checks every landing link automatically and fails on a broken one. Rationale: it replaces a manual click-through and catches drift in the staged URL shape. Owner selected: "Add the automated landing link check". + - Rustdoc builds use default features. Rationale: the published facade should read as hosts see it, as the `ci.yml` "Facade docs" step does, and a future test-only feature must not leak into published docs. + - The rustdoc builds use a separate `target/site-doc` rather than `target/`. Rationale: the banner flag and `cargo clean --doc` must not wipe or invalidate the developer's normal `target/doc`. + - Retired files move to `c:\Users\Vinnie\cursor\cabinet\_trash\promptforge2\` and keep their repository-relative paths. Rationale: moving them flat would make the three per-set `index.md` files overwrite each other, which cannot be undone. This falls under the owner's delegation of review fixes. +- Rejected alternatives: + - One combined rustdoc for all crates, with shared search and cross-crate links. Reason: the owner wants independent sites. Revisit if cross-product linking becomes more valuable than independence. + - Physically moving chapters to a new `docs//` tree. Reason: breaks the authoring tooling paths, the contributing guide, and the docs-claims test. Revisit if the authoring tooling is retargeted. + - Keeping one mdBook with three parts under `/guide/`. Reason: superseded by the owner's per-product tool mix. Revisit never, unless the tool mix changes. + - Folding the Language and Agent guides into rustdoc topic modules, splitting them into per-product books, or dropping them. Reason: the owner chose a third book. Revisit if the Agent Programs audience turns out to be Harness-only. + - A secondary rustdoc site for `gateway-api-types` and `gateway-api-discovery`. Reason: the owner chose mdBook only for the Gateway. Revisit if Gateway consumers need a Rust reference for the model sheet or progress types. + - Rustdoc of the `gateway` app crate for the HTTP surface. Reason: its default `config-ui` feature needs Node 22, and the HTTP surface is better served by the guide.

Revisit if any crate is published. + - Full rustdoc in the PR check. Reason: it duplicates the `ci.yml` docs steps and slows docs PRs. Revisit if the rustdoc steps leave `ci.yml`. + - Plain folder links (`gateway/`). Reason: under `file://` they open a directory listing. Revisit never. +- Assumptions, risks, and notes: + - Assumption, medium-high confidence: cargo treats a doc build as stale when its output `index.html` is missing, so `cargo clean --doc` forces a real rebuild. The repeat-run test checks this; the per-product `--target-dir` fallback covers failure. + - Assumption, medium confidence: stable rustdoc emits `data-root-path` on the `rustdoc-vars` meta tag, and mdBook 0.4.44 exposes a `path_to_root` global. The click-through test checks this. + - Assumption, high confidence: `--html-before-content` is a stable rustdoc flag. mdBook honors `additional-js` and `site-url`, and interprets a relative `-d` against the book folder, which is why the xtask passes absolute paths. + - Assumption: this checkout is GitHub `cppalliance/promptforge`, so the repository guard in the workflow matches. + - Risk: a PR that changes only a shared dependency does not run the site check. This is accepted because the `ci.yml` docs steps build the rustdoc on every PR, and the books and landing page do not depend on crate code. + - Risk: every landing link hardcodes the staged URL shape (for example `language/language/index.html`). The automated landing link check in `cargo xtask site` fails the build on drift. + - Note: book URLs carry a doubled segment for single-set books (for example `/gateway/gateway/01-install-and-run.html`), which is accepted to keep staging uniform. + - Note: a local `cargo xtask site` needs mdBook installed or `MDBOOK` pointing at it; on Windows the owner installs it once. + - Note: the separate `target/site-doc` costs disk space locally and one extra check build; the CI cache (`Swatinem/rust-cache`) caches all of `target/`. + +### Deferred and Out of Scope + +- Deferred: cross-product rustdoc links from `harness-api` to `promptforge` through nightly `--extern-html-root-url`.

Last, because it calls `cargo xtask site`, and the retired files can go only after the assembler stops writing them and `site.yml` has replaced `guide.yml`. + +Retired files move to `c:\Users\Vinnie\cursor\cabinet\_trash\promptforge2\`, keeping their repository-relative paths (see the Decision Record). + + + +### Step 1: Static doc scaffolding and landing page [completed] + +- Component: Doc scaffolding +- Piece: static scaffolding, covering the book configs, the mdBook back-link, the Workshop stub, and the landing page. These are static files with no Rust tests, so they share one commit; the Rust-side scaffolding follows in Step 2. +- Artifacts: + - `guide/books/gateway/book.toml`, `guide/books/workshop/book.toml`, `guide/books/language/book.toml`, each with `title` set to "PromptForge Gateway Guide", "PromptForge Workshop Guide", and "PromptForge Language Guide" respectively, `authors`, `language`, and `src = "src"` carried over from `guide/book.toml`, `[output.html]` with the existing `git-repository-url`, `site-url = "/promptforge//"`, and `additional-js = ["back-link.js"]`. + - `guide/chrome/back-link.js`: adds an "All docs" link to the mdBook menu bar, built from the `path_to_root` global and targeting the landing `index.html` file one level above the book, never a folder. + - `guide/src/workshop/01-stub.md`: H1 only. + - `guide/landing/index.html`: the title, tagline, and intro, then `
    ` with four rows in the order PromptForge, Harness, Workshop, Gateway. The left cell holds the bold name, the description, and the doc links exactly as given under Landing page. The right cell holds `
    ` labeled "image" with a comment naming `img/.png`. + - `guide/landing/style.css`: columns of about 60/40, a fixed-size dashed image slot, and stacked columns below 800px. + - `guide/landing/img/.gitkeep`. +- Tests: the landing copy matches the Landing page section word for word; the prose in every new file has no em dashes or double dashes; every landing `href` ends in a file name; `guide/landing/index.html` opened over `file://` renders the table and stacks it at a narrow window width; `node --test crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs` passes with the stub present; the old `mdbook build guide` still passes, since nothing it reads changed. The back-link and the landing links are proven end to end in Steps 5 and 6. +- Commit: book configs, back-link script, Workshop stub, and landing page. + + + + + +### Step 2: Harness API doc stub and rustdoc banner + +- Component: Doc scaffolding +- Piece: rustdoc scaffolding. Independent of Step 1; it follows Step 1 only because steps land one at a time. +- Artifacts: + - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.md`: a one-line title stub. + - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.rs`: `#![doc = include_str!("lib.md")]` above the existing `//!` block, with the invariants text kept after it. + - `guide/chrome/banner.html`: the rustdoc "All docs" bar, reading `data-root-path` from the `rustdoc-vars` meta tag and targeting the landing `index.html` file one level above the doc root. +- Tests: `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc -p harness-api --no-deps` passes, and the `harness_api` page shows the `lib.md` title followed by the invariants text; `cargo test -p build-xtask` passes, including the `## Invariants` marker checks; the generated `target/doc/harness_api/index.html` carries `data-root-path` on its `rustdoc-vars` meta tag, which confirms the banner's assumption early. +- Commit: Harness API doc stub and rustdoc banner. + + + + + +### Step 3: Book table and checks-and-exports default mode + +- Component: Book assembler +- Piece: book table. Built before staging, because `stage` iterates the table. +- Artifacts: + - `crates/build-user-guide/src/main.rs`: `const BOOKS` replaces `SETS`, exactly as shown under Technical Design. `assemble` runs `check_removed_workshop_stt_claims` and the `read_chapters` H1 check over every set in `BOOKS`, and writes `guide/promptforge--guide.md` for every set through `render_export`. It stops writing `guide/src/SUMMARY.md` and the per-set `index.md` files, and stops requiring `guide/src/introduction.md`. + - `guide/promptforge-workshop-guide.md`: the new checked-in export, generated by the real run. +- Tests: update the in-file `mod tests` fixtures to use `BOOKS`. New cases: default mode writes an export for every set, including `workshop`; it writes no SUMMARY or index file; it runs without `introduction.md`; two runs produce identical output. The existing chapter-order, index, link-check, and `[workshop.stt]` tests keep passing. `cargo run -p build-user-guide` on the real tree adds only the Workshop export and leaves the other three exports unchanged. `cargo clippy -p build-user-guide --all-targets -- -D warnings` passes. +- Commit: book table, checks-and-exports default mode, updated tests, and the Workshop export. + + + + + +### Step 4: Stage mode + +- Component: Book assembler +- Piece: staging. Built after the book table. +- Artifacts: + - A `stage ` arm in `main`. + - The staging function, placed in `crates/build-user-guide/src/stage.rs` with a `stage-tests.rs` sibling wired by `#[path]` if `main.rs` would pass 500 lines. It is 359 lines today, so the split is likely. + - Staging rejects a relative `` with a message naming the path it got. For each book, it copies `guide/books//book.toml` and `guide/chrome/back-link.js` to `//`, and each set folder to `//src//`. It renders each set's `index.md` with `render_index` and the book's `src/SUMMARY.md` with `render_summary`, then runs `check_links` for that book. The staged SUMMARY has no `Introduction` entry, because `guide/src/introduction.md` is not staged; each book opens on its first set's `index.md`, which mdBook also writes as the book's `index.html`. It never writes to the checked-in tree. +- Tests: `stage` writes one folder per book with its `book.toml`, `back-link.js`, set folders, and `SUMMARY.md`; `stage` rejects a relative output path; the per-book link check rejects a missing target; staging output is deterministic. On the real tree, staging into a temporary absolute folder and then running `mdbook build` on one staged book both succeed, and `git status` stays clean. Clippy passes. +- Commit: stage mode and its tests. + + + + + +### Step 5: Site command with the books pipeline and landing link check + +- Component: Site command +- Piece: books pipeline. Built before the rustdoc piece, because it establishes the command, the absolute-path handling, and the copy helpers that the rustdoc piece reuses. `--books-only` is exactly this slice. +- Artifacts: + - `crates/build-xtask/src/main.rs`: `mod site;`, a `Some("site")` arm, and a `usage()` line for `site [--books-only]`. + - `crates/build-xtask/src/site.rs`, which does the following: + - Resolves the workspace root and parses `--books-only`. + - Clears `target/site/` and `target/site-books/`. + - Runs `cargo run -p build-user-guide -- stage /target/site-books` as a subprocess. + - Reads the staged folders and runs `$MDBOOK build -d ` on each, with `MDBOOK` defaulting to `mdbook`. + - Copies `guide/landing/*` to `target/site/` with a recursive `std::fs` copy helper. + - Runs the landing link check last, as specified under Technical Design: every relative `href` in `target/site/index.html` must name a file that exists under `target/site/`. With `--books-only`, hrefs into `promptforge/` and `harness/` are skipped. On failure it exits nonzero and lists every broken href. + - Exits nonzero with a message naming the failed child process. + - The rustdoc stage arrives in Step 6. Until then, both modes produce the books-only output, and the link check skips the rustdoc hrefs in both modes. + - `crates/build-xtask/src/site-tests.rs`, wired by `#[path]`. +- Tests: unit tests cover argument parsing, staged-book discovery from a temporary folder, the recursive copy helper, and the link check. The link-check tests: a page whose hrefs all resolve passes; a missing target fails and is named; a folder href such as `gateway/` fails; external `http(s):`, `mailto:`, and `#` hrefs are ignored; the books-only skip applies only to `promptforge/` and `harness/`. `cargo test -p build-xtask` passes, including the 500-line and no-workspace-dependency checks, and clippy passes. End to end: + - `cargo xtask site --books-only` produces the landing page plus `gateway/`, `workshop/`, and `language/`, and no `promptforge/` or `harness/` folders, and its link check passes. + - Over `file://`, each book's "All docs" link returns to the landing page. This confirms the `path_to_root` assumption, which the static link check cannot see because the link is built in JavaScript. + - `git status` is clean. +- Commit: `cargo xtask site` with the books pipeline and the landing link check. + + + + + +### Step 6: Rustdoc pipeline in the site command + +- Component: Site command +- Piece: rustdoc pipeline. Built after the books pipeline. +- Artifacts: the rustdoc stage in `crates/build-xtask/src/site.rs`, moved to a kebab sibling wired by `#[path]` if the file would pass 500 lines. It runs unless `--books-only` is set, over `(promptforge, promptforge)` and `(harness, harness-api)`: + - `cargo clean --doc --target-dir /target/site-doc`. + - `cargo doc -p --no-deps --target-dir /target/site-doc` with default features. + - `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTDOCFLAGS` set to `--html-before-content`, the `0x1f` separator, and the absolute path of `guide/chrome/banner.html`. Never `RUSTDOCFLAGS`. + - Copy `target/site-doc/doc` to `target/site//`, and write a redirect `index.html` there pointing to `/index.html`. +- Tests: unit tests show that the encoded-flags builder joins with `0x1f` and keeps a path containing a space intact, and that the redirect targets `/index.html`. End to end: + - A full `cargo xtask site` produces the whole site map, and its link check, now covering the rustdoc hrefs too, passes. + - `target/site/harness/crates.js` lists only `harness_api`. If it does not, switch to one `--target-dir` per product and record that in the Decision Record. + - A second run with no changes repopulates both rustdoc folders in full. + - Over `file://`, the banner's "All docs" link in both rustdoc sites returns to the landing page. + - The developer's `target/doc` is untouched, `--books-only` still produces no rustdoc folders, and `git status` is clean. +- Commit: rustdoc pipeline and its tests. + + + + + +### Step 7: Pages workflow cutover + +- Component: Pages deployment +- Piece: workflow. Built before housekeeping, because `guide.yml` still reads the old book config until this step replaces it. +- Artifacts: + - `.github/workflows/site.yml`, as specified under File and public API changes: + - Triggers: `push` to main/master and `workflow_dispatch`, plus the path-filtered `pull_request`. + - Setup: the pinned `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` and `Swatinem/rust-cache` SHAs from `ci.yml`, and the mdBook 0.4.44 download. + - Build: `MDBOOK=$PWD/mdbook cargo xtask site`, with `--books-only` on PR events. + - Deploy: `actions/configure-pages`, `upload-pages-artifact`, and the deploy job gated on `github.event_name != 'pull_request'`, with the Pages permissions granted only to the deploy path. + - Concurrency and guard: the `pages` group with no cancel for deploys, `site-pr-${{ github.ref }}` with `cancel-in-progress: true` for PRs, and the repository guard on both jobs. + - Move `.github/workflows/guide.yml` to the trash tree in the same commit, so two workflows never deploy the same Pages site. +- Tests: the workflow parses as YAML (and passes `actionlint` when it is installed); `ci.yml` is unchanged; the build commands the workflow runs, `cargo xtask site` and `cargo xtask site --books-only`, pass locally.

A new HTML fragment adds an "All docs" bar to rustdoc pages that links back to the site landing page. It finds the landing page relative to each page's documentation root, so the link works both from local files and under the hosted site prefix. The fragment is not yet passed to any rustdoc build. - `#![doc = include_str!("lib.md")]` sits above the existing `//!` block, so rustdoc renders the `lib.md` text first, followed by the crate overview and its `## Invariants` section. - `guide/chrome/banner.html` is one self-contained fragment of markup plus an inline script. It builds the link as `data-root-path` plus `../index.html`, which assumes every rustdoc tree sits one folder below the landing page, and it names `index.html` rather than the folder so the link also opens under `file://`. - `place` runs on `DOMContentLoaded`, moves the bar to the top of `main`, and only then unhides it, because rustdoc lays out the body as a flex row and the bar would otherwise sit beside the content. - `console.warn` is the only failure signal: when the `rustdoc-vars` meta tag has no `data-root-path`, or the page has no `main` element, the script logs a warning and removes the bar, and the page renders without it. - `guide/chrome/banner.html` is not referenced by anything in this change, so no generated page carries the bar yet. - `crates/harness-api/src/lib.md` holds only the `# Harness API` title.

Grouping sets by book prepares for each book being built as its own separate guide. Running the assembler with no arguments now only checks every set's chapters and writes one single-file export per set, including a new Workshop export. It no longer writes the shared table of contents or the per-part landing pages into the source tree, and it no longer needs the introduction page. The code that renders and link-checks those pages stays in place, used only by tests, until a staging mode renders them per book. - `BOOKS` replaces `SETS` as the only list of books and their sets, in audience order: Gateway, Workshop, then Language with the Prompt Language and Agent Programs sets. `sets` flattens it, and every loop over sets, including the test fixture, goes through it. - `assemble` no longer requires `introduction.md` and no longer writes `SUMMARY.md` or any set's `index.md`. The `[workshop.stt]` check and the H1 title check in `read_chapters` now cover the Workshop set too. - `assemble` renders every export in memory before writing any, so a failed check or unreadable chapter leaves all exports untouched. A write error partway through can still leave the earlier exports updated. - `stt_check_covers_every_set` plants a stale `[workshop.stt]` claim in each set in turn and expects the run to fail naming that file. `default_mode_writes_no_summary_or_index` checks that a run leaves no `SUMMARY.md` or `index.md` in the source tree. - `render_index`, `render_summary`, and `check_links` have no caller outside tests. Each carries a `dead_code` expectation in non-test builds, with the reason that tests exercise it until the stage mode renders books. - `sets` drops the book name from each `BOOKS` entry, so nothing in this change reads the book level of the table. - `guide/promptforge-workshop-guide.md` holds only the part title and a placeholder `# Coming Soon` heading. - `default_mode_runs_without_an_introduction` asserts nothing about the output. It checks only that `assemble` succeeds.

Built before staging, because `stage` iterates the table. From 7be7142b194e0b5d5ac4d445ed018cd2e03ae348 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinnie Falco Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:57:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 05/10] Add a stage mode that builds one mdBook tree per book The guide assembler gains a stage mode that copies the checked-in chapters into one mdBook source tree per book, under an output folder the caller names by absolute path. This lets each product's guide build as its own book while authors keep writing chapters where they do today. Each staged book gets its configuration, the shared script that adds an all-docs link, its chapter folders, a rendered overview page per part, and a table of contents that opens on the first part's overview instead of an introduction. Staging runs the chapter title and legacy speech-to-text checks before it writes anything, link-checks each book's table of contents after writing it, and only reads the checked-in guide tree. - `main` now dispatches on its arguments. No arguments runs the existing checks and exports, `stage ` runs staging, and anything else exits with a usage error that echoes the arguments it got. - `stage.rs` holds the staging code, with its tests in `stage-tests.rs` wired through `#[path]`. It imports `AssembleError`, `BOOKS`, and six private helpers from the crate root, and the root calls `stage::stage`, so the two modules depend on each other. - `render_index`, `render_summary`, and `check_links` drop their test-only `dead_code` expectations, because staging now calls all three. - `render_summary` no longer emits an `Introduction` entry, so each book's SUMMARY opens on its first set's `index.md`. The existing summary test now asserts that no `introduction.md` link appears. - `stage` rejects a relative output path with a message naming the path, before it creates anything. It then runs `check_removed_workshop_stt_claims`, which reads every set's chapters, so a stale `[workshop.stt]` claim, a missing set folder, or a chapter without an H1 title fails with the output folder untouched. - `copy_dir` copies every file in a set folder, including images in subfolders and any checked-in `index.md`, which the rendered overview then overwrites. - `check_links` runs after the book's `SUMMARY.md` is on disk, so a broken link leaves that book and every earlier book staged, and the error names the book. Every rendered target is a file staging just wrote or copied, so the check fails only when a chapter's title or file name breaks the link syntax, as the test's `02-proxy (draft).md` does. - `stage_writes_one_tree_per_book` checks each book's config, script, overview titles, SUMMARY links, and that its `src` holds only its own sets. `staging_is_deterministic` compares two fresh folders and a restage into a used one, and `stage_leaves_the_guide_tree_untouched` compares the guide tree byte for byte. - `stage` overwrites files already in the output folder but never removes any, so a reused folder keeps pages for chapters the guide has since dropped. - `main` has no test for its argument dispatch or usage error; the stage tests call `stage` directly.

From 05f0266c24b1ce77b58cb9fc5719b822dae09189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinnie Falco Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:15:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 06/10] Add a site command that builds the books and checks links The workspace automation tool gains a site command that assembles the documentation site into one folder. It clears the previous output, has the guide assembler stage one source tree per book, builds each staged book with mdBook, and copies the hand-written landing page on top. It then checks that every local link on the landing page names a file in the site and fails with the full list of broken links otherwise. The command does not build the API reference folders yet, so the check skips links into them, and the books-only flag only changes a printed note. - `build-user-guide` runs its stage mode as a child `cargo run` process instead of a library call, so this crate still depends on no workspace crates. Every path the command hands a child process starts from the workspace root, so each one is absolute. - `staged_books` takes the book list from the folders that staging wrote, sorted by name, so this crate names no book. It skips plain files and fails, naming the folder, when it finds no book folder. - `hrefs` finds links by splitting the page on the literal text `href="`, with no HTML parser. It misses single-quoted and spaced attributes. - `MDBOOK` and `CARGO` name the programs `build` runs, with `mdbook` and `cargo` as the fallbacks when they are unset. - `check_landing` receives `true` for `skip_rustdoc` on every call from `build`, so the check never looks at links into `promptforge/` or `harness/`. `--books-only` only decides whether `build` prints a note that the site holds the books only. - `unresolved` passes a link only when it names an existing file under the site folder after dropping any `#` fragment or `?` query. A leading `/`, a colon or backslash, a `..` segment, a folder, and a missing file each fail with their own reason, and the error lists every broken link in page order. - `copy_dir` recurses into subfolders, overwrites files that already exist, and removes nothing, so the landing page lands on top of the built books. - `run_child` stops the build when a child cannot start or exits unsuccessfully, and its message shows the full command line. - `parse_args` refuses anything but no arguments or a single `--books-only` and returns the site usage line. `run` then exits with status 1, while the top-level `usage` exits with status 2. - `site-tests.rs` covers argument parsing, book discovery, the copy helper, both child failures, and the link check for missing files, folders, links that leave the site, ignored prefixes, and the rustdoc skip. `a_child_that_exits_nonzero_is_named` spawns the real `cargo` with an unknown flag. - `build`, `run`, `check_landing`, and `clear` have no tests, so no test runs staging, mdBook, or the whole pipeline.

Both crates are documented through one dedicated build folder that is cleared before each crate, so the two reference sites never share a crate list or search index and the developer's usual documentation output stays untouched. Every reference page carries the shared navigation banner, and each reference site folder gets a redirect page to its crate. The landing link check now covers links into the reference sites whenever they are built. - `build_rustdoc` documents each crate in `RUSTDOC_SITES` into the one `target/site-doc` folder and runs `cargo clean --doc` before each `cargo doc`, because rustdoc merges every crate in a doc folder into one crate list and search index. The developer's `target/doc` is never written. - `RUSTDOC_SITES` replaces `RUSTDOC_DIRS` and pairs each site folder with the crate it documents, `harness` with `harness-api`, as a tuple of bare strings. `broken_links` reads the folder half of the same table. - `encoded_rustdoc_flags` injects `guide/chrome/banner.html` through `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTDOCFLAGS`, which cargo splits only on the `0x1f` separator, so a checkout path with spaces stays one argument where `RUSTDOCFLAGS` would split it. - `check_landing` now receives `options.books_only` instead of `true`, so a full build fails when a landing link into `promptforge/` or `harness/` does not resolve. Only `--books-only` still skips those links. - `redirect_page` writes each rustdoc site folder's `index.html` as a meta refresh plus a single link to the page `crate_page` names, such as `harness_api/index.html` for `harness-api`. - `crates/build-xtask/src/site-tests.rs` adds tests that pin the flag encoding against a drive path with spaces, the underscored crate page, and that the redirect's only `href` is the crate page. - `build_rustdoc` has no test in this change. The new tests cover only the three pure helpers.

From 1c6e5fd40c733e325cd43ae7976431d4bc1fcc8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinnie Falco Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:42:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 08/10] Deploy the docs site to Pages and retire the guide workflow GitHub Pages now receives the assembled documentation site, with the landing page, the product books, and the API references, in place of the single combined guide. Pushes to the main branches and manual dispatches build the full site and deploy it. Pull requests that touch the docs sources, the site builder, or the workflow itself run a lighter build of the books and the landing page that never uploads or deploys, and other pull requests do not trigger it. Only the deploy job holds the Pages write permissions, and the old guide workflow goes away so two workflows never publish the same site. - `github.event_name` selects the path inside one workflow. Pull requests run the books-only build, while pushes and manual dispatches run the full build, the artifact upload, and the deploy job. - `contents: read` is the only workflow-wide permission. `pages: write` and `id-token: write` sit on the deploy job alone, and `actions/configure-pages@v5` moves into that job with them. - `site-pr-{0}` gives each pull request ref its own concurrency group, and a new push cancels the stale run. Deploys share the `pages` group and never cancel one another. - `cargo xtask site` builds the full site with `MDBOOK` pointing at the downloaded mdBook 0.4.44 binary. The upload now takes `target/site` instead of `guide/book`. - `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` and `Swatinem/rust-cache` join the build job, each pinned to a commit SHA, because cargo now drives the build. - `pull_request` fires only for changes under `guide/**`, `crates/build-user-guide/**`, `crates/build-xtask/src/site.rs`, or the workflow file itself. - `--books-only` makes pull request runs skip the API reference builds. Those runs also never upload an artifact or reach the deploy job. - `github.repository` guards both jobs, so forks run nothing. - `.github/workflows/guide.yml` no longer exists, and its direct `./mdbook build guide` deploy of `guide/book` goes with it.

The build instructions for contributors and agents now name the site command, because the old combined build has no book left to build.

The source tree no longer holds the combined book's config or its generated navigation. - `.gitignore` drops the `/guide/book/` entry, which was the combined book's output folder. - `guide/CONTRIBUTING.md` now says the assembler writes each book's `SUMMARY.md` and per-part index files only into the staged books under `target/site-books/`, and that they must not be added to `src/`. It also lists four documentation sets, adding `src/workshop/`, and names `site.yml` as the deploy workflow. - `cargo xtask site --books-only` replaces `mdbook build guide` as the guide build command in `README.md` and `AGENTS.md`, and replaces the `cargo run -p build-user-guide` regenerate instruction in `guide/CONTRIBUTING.md`. - `documentation` in `crates/promptforge/Cargo.toml` and `crates/harness-api/Cargo.toml` now points at each crate's own rustdoc index page, `promptforge/promptforge/index.html` and `harness/harness_api/index.html`, instead of the site root. - `crates/README.md` now describes `build-user-guide` as checking the chapters and writing the per-set exports by default, with a `stage ` mode that writes one mdBook tree per book for `cargo xtask site`.
