Narrow the build script's module graph (#513)

[leynos]

Closes #513

Problem

build.rs recompiles part of the library so it can call cli::Cli::command()
for man-page generation. It declared src/cli/mod.rs, which pulled the whole
cli subtree — merging, discovery, diagnostics, localized value parsing — plus
cli_l10n, host_pattern, output_mode, and theme. Removing the five
module-wide #[expect(dead_code, ...)] attributes and building produced 110
unused-item diagnostics, which is what those attributes were suppressing.

The suppressions also masked genuinely dead code. Appending an unused
pub fn to src/cli/config.rs on main produced no diagnostic from any
compilation unit: the library exports cli::config publicly so it is not
dead-code linted there, and the build script's module-wide expectation covered
it here.

Change

build.rs now declares an inline cli facade naming exactly the three files
the Clap schema needs, rather than inheriting the subtree:

#[path = "src/cli"]
mod cli {
    #[path = "config.rs"] pub mod config;
    #[path = "validation.rs"] mod validation;
    #[path = "command.rs"] mod command;

    pub use command::Cli;
    pub use config::{AccessibilityPolicy, ColourPolicy, EmojiPolicy, ProgressPolicy};
}

The library is split along the same seam so that slice is self-contained:

New module	Contents	Why it moved
src/cli/command.rs	The Clap definitions (Cli, InteractionArgs, BuildArgs, GraphArgs, Commands)	Was the top half of src/cli/parser.rs; the schema is all the man page needs
src/cli/preferences.rs	The four Cli output-policy accessors	theme_preference was the only reason the build script compiled theme and, transitively, output_mode
src/cli/validation.rs	MAX_JOBS, validation_error	Lets src/cli/config.rs stop reaching up into src/cli/mod.rs
src/host_matching.rs	HostCandidate, HostPattern::matches	The only items in src/host_pattern.rs the schema does not need

src/cli/parser.rs keeps the localization-aware parsing entry point;
cli_l10n, output_mode, and theme are no longer declared by the build
script at all.

Result

• All five module-wide expectations removed. cargo check --all-targets
  emits no unused-item diagnostics.
• The probe that was silent on main now reports: an unused pub fn in
  src/cli/config.rs produces
  warning: function ... is never used from the build-script crate.
• The generated man page is byte-identical (verified by diffing the artefact
  before and after).
• No dependency added, no public API change, nothing under locales/ or
  src/localization/ touched. The locale_catalogues/localization
  declarations were already correct and are untouched.
• Rerun directives now track the modules actually compiled.
• No file exceeds the 400-line cap (largest touched: src/cli/config.rs at
  321, src/host_pattern.rs down from 344 to 304).

docs/developers-guide.md gains a section recording the slice as a maintained
boundary: widening it reintroduces unreachable items, and a dependency added
outside it surfaces as a build-script compile error.

Gate	Status
cargo fmt -- --check	pass

Two gates fail identically on unmodified origin/main in this environment and

  root package passes.
• make lint's Whitaker pass reports no_std_fs_operations against
  build.rs and build_l10n_audit.rs — 9 findings on main, 8 after this
  change, all in std::fs calls this PR does not touch.

Summary by Sourcery

Narrow the build script to a self-contained CLI schema slice while preserving generated artifacts and moving runtime observability and policy behavior behind explicit application boundaries.

New Features:

• Add a maintained, compile-checked boundary for the build script’s CLI schema module slice.
• Add bounded network-policy decision tracing for allowed and rejected fetches.
• Support terminal-dot-insensitive hostname matching while preserving wildcard apex exclusions.

Bug Fixes:

• Prevent build-script module-wide dead-code suppressions from masking genuinely unused library items.
• Preserve merge observability by returning bounded merge events for application-side replay.

Enhancements:

• Split CLI command definitions, runtime preferences, validation helpers, and host matching into narrower modules so build-time schema generation avoids unrelated runtime dependencies.
• Update man-page and completion generation to construct the Clap command schema directly from the narrowed CLI slice.
• Expand CLI schema, module-boundary, host-matching, network-observability, and merge-event coverage.

Build:

• Update build-script rerun tracking to cover only the modules compiled for artifact generation.

Documentation:

• Document the build script’s maintained module boundary and the updated merge-event replay model across developer, user, and design documentation.

Tests:

• Add direct-rustc UI tests that verify the supported build-script module slice and reject runtime-only imports.
• Add command-schema coverage for default and explicit subcommands.
• Add tests for terminal DNS dots, wildcard matching, and bounded network-policy tracing.

Chores:

• Remove obsolete build-support module wiring and module-wide dead-code expectations.

Poem

Compile the narrow module slice.
Keep command ownership precise.
Route preferences through their home.
Match hosts in a dedicated dome.
Guard each boundary with tests.
Keep the build graph clean.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6b1c9

The PR narrows build-script compilation without changing the intended CLI schema, but merge observation still runs from a query path and can cause externally visible side effects for read-only callers; a platform-sensitive boundary test also needs hardening. Merge should wait for these bounded issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #513: build.rs uses a narrow CLI facade, retains Cli::command() man-page generation, adds no build dependency, removes broad dead-code expectations, updates rerun tracking, and adds boundary tests. The two reported gate failures are documented as pre-existing environment failures.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 92.50% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 40 functions across 24 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The added tests substantially cover command parsing, host matching, validation, preference accessors, and the supported/unsupported build-module slice. However, the pull request also changes the observable Cargo rerun contract in build.rs: emit_rerun_directives replaces src/cli/parser.rs and src/cli/parsing.rs with the four slice files and src/host_pattern.rs (build.rs lines 171-181). No test asserts this output. A plausible regression that retains the old rerun paths, or omits src/cli/validation.rs, would pass the current command, host, validation, and module-slice tests. The build-slice source check only examines the inline module declarations (tests/build_module_slice_ui_tests.rs lines 164-194), so it does not guard rerun behaviour. The same check also searches literal LF sequences and does not normalise CRLF line endings, which can make the boundary test fail on a valid Windows checkout.

Resolution

Add a focused build-script contract test for the exact rerun-if-changed paths. Refactor directive construction if required so the test can assert the emitted set, including the four compiled CLI files and src/host_pattern.rs, and excluding the removed parser/build-support paths. Normalise line endings before assert_fixture_matches_build_rs parses build.rs, and add a CRLF regression case if the test must run on Windows.

Full details: User-Facing Documentation

Explanation

Fail: the PR introduces user-facing host-matching behaviour without updating docs/users-guide.md. src/host_matching.rs now removes one terminal DNS dot before matching. src/stdlib/network/policy/mod.rs applies this matcher to allow and block host rules used by fetch(). The user's guide documents the host flags and wildcards, but it does not document the terminal-dot rule.

Resolution

Update the “Configure network access” section in docs/users-guide.md. State that matching ignores one terminal DNS dot for exact and wildcard host patterns, and document the wildcard apex rule with examples such as example.com matching example.com. and *.example.com matching sub.example.com. but not example.com..

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

Mark this check PASS. docs/developers-guide.md documents the exact four-file build.rs CLI slice, its purpose, excluded runtime modules, dependency-boundary behaviour, unused-item analysis, rerun implications, and the direct-rustc fixtures. docs/netsuke-design.md records the CLI architecture split between command.rs, parser.rs, preferences.rs, and config.rs. No roadmap item or new execplan changed in this pull request. The only matching existing execplan is marked Status: COMPLETE and is historical. No translated developer guide exists, so locale synchronisation is not applicable.

Full details: Module-Level Documentation

Explanation

Pass the module-level documentation check. Every added or modified Rust module has a module docstring. The new command, preferences, validation, and host_matching modules explain their purpose and their relationships to the CLI, runtime, and build-script components. The inline cli modules in build.rs and the UI fixtures also have //! documentation. Existing module documentation was updated where the module responsibilities changed, including src/cli/mod.rs, src/cli/parser.rs, and src/host_pattern.rs.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

The added tests cover the main behaviour: command parsing uses the public parser boundary, host matching has edge and property tests, validation has unit tests, and the build-slice fixture compiles production modules and rejects cli::discovery. However, tests/build_module_slice_ui_tests.rs:166-182 reads build.rs and searches only for LF sequences. The changed test therefore fails when the checked-out build.rs uses CRLF line endings. The repository runs the full test suite on windows-latest (.github/workflows/ci.yml:139-142,225-229), so this boundary test is not reliable on a supported platform.

Resolution

Normalize the contents read from build.rs to LF before find, contains, and path-count checks. Add a focused regression test for CRLF-normalized input where practical. Keep the strict module-boundary assertions and run the Windows test job.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

Pass this check. The introduced hostname-matching rules use substantive proptest coverage for generated DNS labels, wildcard subdomain prefixes, ASCII case handling, and strict suffix or superdomain rejection. The moved CLI preference mappings retain exhaustive domain and policy tests. The finite command schema and build-slice boundary use targeted schema and direct-rustc tests. No new lemma or proof assumption requires an exhaustive formal proof.

Full details: Testing (Compile-Time / Ui)

Explanation

The PR adds a direct-rustc compile-pass and compile-fail UI test, which is the required language-specific equivalent. However, the new test is not portable to the supported Windows CI environment. assert_fixture_matches_build_rs searches for LF-only strings at tests/build_module_slice_ui_tests.rs:168 and :182; a CRLF checkout makes the test fail before it compiles either fixture. The contributor description identifies this exact failure, but the final test code contains no line-ending normalization or CRLF regression coverage. The boundary assertion also counts only #[path] declarations, so an extra plain mod discovery; inside the production facade would not be detected.

Resolution

Normalise build.rs line endings to LF before applying the source assertions, and add a focused regression test for CRLF input. Strengthen the source contract to compare or parse the complete inline cli facade, including module declarations, so an unapproved runtime module cannot bypass the boundary check. Retain the focused diagnostic assertions rather than adding a broad, toolchain-sensitive compiler snapshot.

Full details: Unit Architecture

Explanation

PASS: The pull request improves separation. The actual diff moves the Clap schema into cli::command, keeps localisation and fallible parsing in cli::parser, isolates runtime preference accessors in cli::preferences, and moves host matching out of parsing-only host_pattern. The new accessors, default-command transformation, validation helper, and host matcher are pure or locally transforming operations. The build script retains its explicit file and environment boundaries, while its existing file writes remain visible in named build functions. The new command-schema and direct-rustc boundary tests exercise the declared seams. No changed production path hides I/O, network calls, clock access, global state, or other command-side effects behind a query API.

Full details: Domain Architecture

Explanation

Keep the new boundaries. src/cli/command.rs contains the Clap schema, while parsing and runtime preference mapping remain in separate modules. src/host_pattern.rs now handles pattern validation, and src/host_matching.rs contains pure matching logic. The network policy change only updates the import for that matching logic. The new PathBuf, Clap, Serde, and OrthoConfig usage stays in CLI adapter/configuration code, not in core domain code. No changed domain code introduces HTTP, SQL, persistence, filesystem, environment, or vendor-specific coupling.

Full details: Observability

Explanation

Instrument the changed network-policy decision path. src/host_matching.rs now strips one terminal DNS dot before matching, while origin/main compared the raw candidate. NetworkPolicy::evaluate passes url.host_str() to this matcher, so exact allowlist/blocklist decisions for dotted hosts can change. The fetch path only traces cache activity and remote request failures; policy evaluation and policy rejections have no log, trace, or metric signal. This violates the required observability for changed externally visible reliability behaviour.

Resolution

Either remove the terminal-dot normalisation if this behaviour is not intended, or add bounded observability at the fetch policy boundary. Emit a trace event for allowed and rejected evaluations with stable fields such as operation=fetch, decision, and a fixed violation category (scheme_not_allowed, missing_host, host_not_allowlisted, or host_blocked), without raw URLs or hosts. Add a bounded counter such as netsuke_network_policy_evaluations_total with only bounded outcome and reason labels. Add tests that capture the rejection event and counter, including the terminal-dot cases.

Full details: Security And Privacy

Explanation

PASS. The committed diff contains no secrets, credentials, tokens, certificates, or sensitive fixture data. The CLI types and serde derives were moved from parser.rs to command.rs; they do not add a new deserialization sink or privileged operation. The network-policy change only moves HostPattern::matches into host_matching.rs and normalizes one terminal DNS dot. Exact and wildcard boundaries remain enforced, including wildcard apex rejection and suffix rejection. build.rs continues to write only generated artefacts and uses Cargo-provided paths and metadata. The new direct-rustc tests use Cargo and rustc paths from the environment but do not print environment values or add runtime access. No new authentication, authorization, permission, network, or telemetry capability appears in the diff.

Full details: Performance And Resource Use

Explanation

PASS. The pull request does not introduce a performance or resource-use failure. The production matching path remains a linear scan over the existing host-pattern lists, with one ASCII lowercase allocation per candidate as before; the new terminal-dot check is constant-time. The CLI refactor moves schema and preference code without adding hot-path loops, retries, blocking I/O, caches, or unbounded collections. Build-script work is reduced by compiling a narrower module slice. New test loops and generated inputs have explicit small bounds, and the direct Cargo/rustc invocations run once for two fixed fixtures rather than in a runtime path.

Full details: Concurrency And State

Explanation

Pass the check. The pull request narrows the build.rs module graph and splits CLI schema, preferences, validation, and host matching. The changed implementation adds no shared mutable state, locks, async tasks, spawned workers, channels, atomic protocols, transactions, or ordering guarantees. The new Arc<OrthoError> only provides shared ownership of an immutable validation error, and the existing parser Arc<dyn Localizer> usage remains ordinary local ownership. No concurrency interleaving or lifetime test is required for these changes.

Full details: Architectural Complexity And Maintainability

Explanation

Accept the change. The new command, validation, preferences, and host_matching modules each isolate an immediate dependency seam: build.rs compiles only the four-file CLI schema slice, validation is shared by configuration and parsing, runtime preference accessors stay outside the build slice, and host matching stays outside host-pattern parsing. The direct-rustc fixtures and developer guide document and enforce this boundary. The dependency graph remains explicit and acyclic. The diff adds no generic traits, registries, frameworks, or third-party dependencies, and it removes the obsolete build_support composition root and module-wide dead-code expectations.

Full details: Rust Compiler Lint Integrity

Explanation

PASS. The PR removes the five broad build-script #[expect(dead_code, ...)] suppressions and the obsolete build_support root. build.rs now compiles an explicit config, validation, help, and command slice, while runtime-only CLI modules remain outside that boundary. The changed production files contain no new broad allow or expect attributes. The only new expectations are narrow, reasoned clippy::disallowed_methods expectations on test tool-path helpers. The only added .clone() preserves a small Vec<&str> for test diagnostics and is not excessive ownership work. New helpers and re-exports have real callers or test coverage; no artificial lint anchors were added to production code.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors the CLI and host pattern modules to carve out a minimal, self-contained slice that the build script recompiles for man-page and localization audits, removing broad dead-code suppressions while keeping behavior and public API unchanged.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Limit build.rs to a narrow, self-contained CLI and host-pattern slice instead of recompiling the full cli subtree.	Replace build.rs module import of src/cli/mod.rs with an inline cli facade that exposes only command, config, and validation modules and re-exports the needed types. Stop declaring cli_l10n, output_mode, and theme in build.rs, and keep host_pattern and localization as separate modules. Update build.rs rerun directives to track only the files actually compiled for man-page and localization generation.	build.rs
Split CLI schema, runtime preferences, and validation helpers into dedicated modules so the Clap schema is independent of parsing and runtime behavior.	Move Cli, InteractionArgs, BuildArgs, GraphArgs, and Commands from parser.rs into a new cli/command.rs, keeping only definitions and Clap derives there. Introduce cli/preferences.rs to host Cli runtime preference accessors (theme_preference, accessibility_override, no_input, progress_enabled). Introduce cli/validation.rs with MAX_JOBS and validation_error shared between parsing and config, and update config.rs and parsing.rs to depend on it. Adjust cli/mod.rs to wire in the new submodules, re-export the public CLI surface from command.rs, and simplify parser re-exports. Update merge.rs, diag.rs, discovery.rs, and parser.rs to import Cli and related types from command.rs and validation helpers from validation.rs.	src/cli/parser.rs src/cli/command.rs src/cli/preferences.rs src/cli/validation.rs src/cli/mod.rs src/cli/merge.rs src/cli/parsing.rs src/cli/diag.rs src/cli/discovery.rs src/cli/config.rs
Separate host pattern syntax/normalization from hostname matching to keep build-script dependencies minimal while preserving behavior.	Remove HostCandidate and HostPattern::matches from host_pattern.rs, leaving only parsing, normalization, and related tests. Add a new host_matching.rs module that defines HostCandidate and implements HostPattern::matches, including relocated wildcard/exact matching tests. Update lib.rs to declare the new host_matching module and stdlib network policy code to use HostCandidate from host_matching instead of host_pattern. Adjust host_pattern.rs tests and documentation comments to reflect its new focus on parsing and normalization only.	src/host_pattern.rs src/host_matching.rs src/lib.rs src/stdlib/network/policy/mod.rs
Document the build script’s maintained module slice and the CLI schema split for future contributors.	Add a section to docs/developers-guide.md explaining the build.rs module slice, the rationale for keeping it narrow, and guidance on avoiding reintroduction of dead-code suppressions. Update netsuke-design.md to describe the new locations of the Cli type, parsing entry point, and runtime preferences, consistent with the refactor.	docs/developers-guide.md docs/netsuke-design.md

Assessment against linked issues

Issue	Objective	Addressed	Explanation
#513	Narrow the build script's module graph (particularly around src/cli/ and related modules) so that module-wide #[expect(dead_code, unused_imports, ...)] attributes are no longer needed and unused items in src/cli/ once again produce diagnostics during a normal build.	✅
#513	Preserve existing build-script behavior, especially the ability for build.rs to call cli::Cli::command() for man-page generation (and to use localization keys) without adding new build dependencies or breaking gates/tests.	✅

Inline comments:
In `@build.rs`:
- Around line 31-35: Update the boundary documentation in build.rs lines 31-35
to state that src/cli/command.rs contains command-schema and default-command
behavior, including Cli::with_default_command; do not move the method.
Synchronize the corresponding boundary statement in docs/developers-guide.md
lines 391-393 with the same wording and scope.

In `@docs/developers-guide.md`:
- Around line 382-384: Reconcile the build-script description in
docs/developers-guide.md with the generate_man_page call and the statement that
build.rs only performs localization auditing. Explicitly state whether build.rs
stages a man page or cargo-orthohelp is the sole generator, then update the
related maintenance guidance so it presents one consistent rule and preserves
docs/ as the source of truth.

In `@src/cli/command.rs`:
- Around line 117-124: Add Rustdoc usage and outcome examples for each affected
public/shared function: in src/cli/command.rs lines 117-124, document
with_default_command() selecting Commands::Build when command is None; in
src/cli/preferences.rs lines 14-44, document each policy-to-preference mapping
with examples; and in src/cli/validation.rs lines 15-20, describe the produced
OrthoError::Validation and show caller context.

In `@src/host_matching.rs`:
- Around line 21-23: Expand the documentation for HostPattern::matches with a #
Examples section demonstrating an exact host match, a wildcard subdomain match,
and rejection of the wildcard apex; show the expected boolean outcomes for each
case while preserving the existing implementation.
- Around line 23-35: Update HostPattern::matches to remove one trailing DNS dot
from the lowercased candidate hostname before applying exact or wildcard
matching. Preserve the existing wildcard subdomain-only behavior after
normalization, and add regression coverage for trailing-dot hosts against both
exact and wildcard patterns.

In `@build.rs`:

src/cli/help.rs alongside the existing directives in the build script, keeping
the tracked set aligned with the modules compiled by the facade.

In `@src/host_matching.rs`:

to use the same root before asserting cli::discovery is unavailable. Update
docs/developers-guide.md:966-969 to describe the direct-rustc boundary after the
fixtures enforce it.

In `@tests/cli_tests/command_schema.rs`:
- Around line 13-75: Refactor the command schema tests around
supported_commands_parse_to_their_schema_variants to use an rstest fixture for
the shared localizer setup and parameterized rstest cases for each argv/expected
Commands pair. Remove the manual cases loop while preserving the existing

variant.

106-135: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Separate merge observation from the query path.

Return bounded merge events from this function. Invoke MergeObserver::observe from an application command adapter. The calls on Lines 122-134 let a caller-supplied observer mutate external state or persist logs during a merge query.

As per coding guidelines: “Query paths must not perform writes, mutate externally visible state, trigger network calls, emit irreversible side-effects”. As per path instructions: “Adhere to single responsibility and CQRS”.
