The complete diff against main changes only Full details: Developer DocumentationExplanation PASS — The PR changes only four Markdown files: it adds proposed RFC 0006, a Phase 6 roadmap track, and documentation indexes. It introduces no code, internal API, tooling, build, or localisation changes. RFC 0006 is explicitly marked Proposed and records the design, alternatives, open questions, dependencies, and delivery plan. The existing developer guide already documents the relevant manifest-query boundary and stdlib conventions.

The pull request changes four Markdown files only and adds no Rust or TypeScript code, compile-time behaviour, UI flow, or runtime output. Therefore, no trybuild test or new snapshot test is required for this pull request. The RFC records future testing obligations, including unit, property, integration, documentation-example, determinism, serialization, and diagnostic checks. Any focused snapshots for future serializer or diagnostic output belong in the later implementation slices, not this documentation-only change.

The verified diff from 1d0cb16..HEAD contains only docs/contents.md, docs/repository-layout.md, docs/roadmap.md, and the new RFC; it changes no domain, adapter, repository, command, transport, persistence, or infrastructure code. The RFC also specifies injected capability and environment seams, explicit domain-error boundaries, and separation between lexical helpers and filesystem authority. No Domain Architecture violation is introduced. Full details: ObservabilityExplanation Pass this check.

Survey every function, filter, and test exposed by ansible-core 2.21.3 and record an explicit accept, defer, or reject disposition for each candidate against Netsuke's existing MiniJinja and stdlib surface. The RFC proposes fifty-seven new helpers across ten capability groups (structured data, mapping transforms, ordered collection algebra, regular expressions, version predicates, lexical paths, filesystem predicates, collection and truth predicates, encoding and formatting, and date/time conversion), plus three behaviour-preserving options on existing helpers. It also specifies: - a normative cross-cutting contract covering purity class, manifest-query availability, determinism, capability boundary, platform behaviour, type and error handling, resource bounds, diagnostics, and documentation; - a canonical value-equality relation so collection algebra never leaks hash-set ordering into a generated build graph; - deliberate resolutions for every naming collision with MiniJinja and the existing Netsuke surface, notably `hash` versus `text_hash`, `abs` as both a filter and a test, and `groupby` versus `group_by`; - eighteen deliberate divergences from surveyed Ansible behaviour; and - ten focused delivery slices targeted after v0.1.0 final, so no part of this work widens the hardening release defined by #594. No implementation is included, and no Ansible source is reproduced beyond the Jinja signatures recorded in the candidate matrix. Refs #596
Translate the accepted set in RFC 0006 into a capability phase with ten GIST-aligned steps, each stating the question it answers and sequencing its tasks by dependency. Phase 6 opens with a foundation step that settles the shared contract — canonical value equality, checked resource bounds, the domain-error and diagnostic-code scaffolding, the enumerated manifest-query boundary, and the maintained inventory — before the volume of helpers arrives. The remaining steps deliver structured data interchange, mapping transforms, ordered collection algebra, pattern and version predicates, lexical path composition, capability-scoped host probing, encoding and formatting, timestamp conversion, and an evidence-gated review of the deferred candidates. Two foundation tasks also repair pre-existing gaps found while surveying the stdlib: `manifest_query_operation_error` builds its message with `format!` rather than a Fluent key, and six host-observing helpers are absent from the manifest-query environment rather than failing with an explanation. Also index the new `docs/rfcs/` directory in the documentation contents and the repository layout. Refs #596
The en-GB-oxendict typos gate rejects "hand-written". Rephrase step 6.3's summary so the sentence carries the same meaning without the flagged compound. Refs #596
Commit 1d0cb16 moved help-target manifest loading behind `runner::generation::load_manifest` and documented that future dry-run and background-generation callers may reuse the same read-only pipeline. The restriction is therefore a property of the read-only manifest-query registration, not of one command. Reframe RFC 0006 §§3.2, 6.2, and 8.6 and the matching roadmap tasks accordingly, so a helper admitted to the read-only environment is understood to be admitted to every read-only caller at once. This also raises the stakes on the disclosure gap already recorded in RFC §3.3 and scheduled as roadmap task 6.1.5: helpers that vanish rather than explaining the restriction now do so for every read-only caller.

All six review findings were verified against the current code and all six were valid; two proved worse than reported. Broaden the manifest-query disclosure gap (RFC 3.3, roadmap 6.1.5). The gap is sixteen names, not six: beyond `realpath`, `expanduser`, `size`, `linecount`, `hash`, and `digest`, the query environment also omits `which` as both filter and function, `command_available`, `now`, and all seven file tests. Repairing only the original list would have left the roadmap's own "no helper silently disappears" criterion unmet. Withdraw the `%Z` conversion specifier (RFC 8.10). `TimestampValue` wraps a `time::OffsetDateTime`, which retains a numeric offset and no zone identity, and no IANA time-zone database is depended on, so an abbreviation cannot be recovered from any timestamp. Point at `%z`. Replace the manifest-query contract test (RFC 6.2 clause 4, roadmap 6.1.6). Clause 2 keeps every non-pure helper registered as a stub, so both environments hold identical name sets and the specified set difference is always empty; the test could never detect what it claimed to. Assert each helper's disposition by exercising its registration instead. Scope the `combine` merge laws (RFC 8.2, roadmap 6.3.1). Associativity and self-merge idempotence fail under `append` and `prepend`; restrict both laws to `replace` and `keep` and record the counterexamples. Fix the determinism property test (roadmap 6.4.5). Permuting logical input order contradicts RFC 8.3, which makes first-appearance order observable. Vary hash-map internals while holding logical order fixed. Remove the self-contradiction in the phase-kind preamble (roadmap). Refs #596

Section 14.1's slice-0 description still carried both superseded claims that the previous commit corrected elsewhere: it described the manifest-query test as enumerating both environments and asserting the difference, and it listed only six helpers as needing stubs. Restate the test as the per-helper disposition check that section 6.2 clause 4 and roadmap task 6.1.6 now specify, and point at section 3.3 for the sixteen absent helpers rather than repeating the list. Referencing rather than repeating keeps the enumeration in one place, which is what allowed this copy to drift in the first place. Also correct the punctuation of the combine merge-law explanation. The `because` clause is restrictive, so its preceding comma is removed, and `so` becomes `so that` because it introduces a purpose clause rather than coordinating two independent clauses. Refs #596
The `docs/rfcs/` entry stated only that files are numbered in allocation order. RFC 0006 deliberately took 0006 while leaving 0005 reserved for an in-flight branch, so a contributor reading the canonical layout document would see that gap and reasonably treat it as an allocation error, or reallocate the free number and create a collision. State that numbers are never reused or renumbered after publication, that gaps are expected rather than erroneous, and that remote branches must be checked before a number is allocated. Refs #596

Correct the merge-law statement for `combine`. The previous wording
claimed associativity under `replace` and `keep` "with or without
`recursive`", which is false: recursive merging is non-associative
whenever an intermediate operand replaces a nested mapping with a scalar
and a later operand supplies a mapping at the same key.
With `a = {'x': {'a': 1}}`, `b = {'x': 0}` and `c = {'x': {'b': 2}}`,
grouping to the left yields `{'x': {'b': 2}}` because the scalar at `x`
is no longer a mapping and is replaced wholesale, while grouping to the
right yields `{'x': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}` because both sides at `x` are
mappings by then and merge recursively.
The laws are now stated separately: identity holds under every policy;
self-merge idempotence holds under `replace` and `keep` with or without
`recursive`; associativity is asserted only when `recursive=false` under
those two policies; and the accumulating `append` and `prepend` policies
satisfy neither. Roadmap task 6.3.1 is brought into line and gains a
regression test for the counterexample.
Also expand section 14.1. The disposition test is spelled out rather than
referenced, and slice 0 now enumerates all sixteen names that section 3.3
records as absent from the manifest-query environment, noting that `which`
needs a stub in both its filter and function forms because the two
namespaces are separate, and that every stub raises the localized
manifest-query restriction diagnostic.

Summary
Closes #596.
Surveys every function, filter, and test exposed by ansible-core 2.21.3,
records an explicit accept, defer, or reject disposition for each
candidate against Netsuke's existing MiniJinja and stdlib surface, and
specifies Netsuke-native contracts for the accepted set.
This is specification only. There is no implementation, and no Ansible source
is reproduced beyond the Jinja signatures recorded in the candidate matrix.
Nothing here lands in v0.1.0, which remains the hardening release defined by
#594.
What changed
docs/rfcs/0006-ansible-inspired-template-standard-library.md(new).docs/roadmap.md: a new Phase 6 capability track with ten GIST-alignedsteps.
docs/contents.mdanddocs/repository-layout.md: index the newdocs/rfcs/directory.RFC 0006 at a glance
Fifty-seven new helpers — forty-one filters and sixteen tests — across ten
capability groups, plus three behaviour-preserving options on existing helpers
(
basename(dialect=),dirname(dialect=),glob(files_only=)).The RFC also specifies:
manifest-query availability, determinism, capability boundary, platform
behaviour, type and error handling, resource bounds, diagnostics, and the
documentation and testing obligations;
serde_json_canonicalizerdependency, so collection algebra can never leakhash-set ordering into a generated build graph;
hashversustext_hash,absas both a filter and a test,
groupbyversusgroup_by,uniqueversusuniq,itemsversusdict2items,inversuscontains, andurlencodeversus
urldecode; andDecisions worth a reviewer's attention
These are the places where the RFC deliberately departs from what #596
suggested, each with rationale in the document:
to_nice_yamlis rejected in favour ofto_yaml(indent=4). Two namesdiffering only in a default indent is the alias thicket the RFC otherwise
refuses. Flagged as open question 1 (§16) so it can be overruled.
win_*family is rejected in favour of a uniformdialect='host'|'posix'|'windows'argument across every lexical pathhelper. The
win_*names cover three operations out of eight and cannotexpress the
posixdirection at all.versionrequires its operator explicitly. Ansible defaults it toeq, which defeats the point of an ordering predicate.zip_longestrequiresfill_value, so a silentnonecannot enter abuild graph.
regex_findall's return shape depends only on its arguments, never onhow many capture groups the pattern happens to contain.
regex_replacerejects Python-style\1replacements with adiagnostic pointing at the
$1form, as a migration guard against silentlyemitting the literal text.
path_joinrejects an absolute component after the first position.Python's reset behaviour makes
['/safe/root', '/etc/passwd']yield/etc/passwd.mountis accepted but sequenced last, with an explicitunsupported-platform error rather than a plausible
false.Open questions 2 and 3 (§16), the
abstest name and whetherversionshouldtolerate a
vprefix, are also live and are gated in the roadmap before therelevant tasks.
Pre-existing gaps surfaced by the survey
Two repairs are scheduled in roadmap tasks 6.1.5 and 6.1.6, and are recorded
in RFC §3.3:
manifest_query_operation_errorbuilds its message withformat!ratherthan a Fluent key, unlike the rest of the stdlib.
size,linecount,hash,digest,realpath, andexpanduserareabsent from the manifest-query environment rather than failing with an
explanation, so
netsuke help targetsreports "unknown filter" instead ofnaming the restriction.
RFC numbering
No RFC has been merged to
main, so the sequence is defined entirely byin-flight branches. This RFC takes 0006 and reserves 0001 to 0004 for #573
and #600, leaving 0005 free for the first renumbering out of the current
collision between #556, #566, and #600. The reservation table is in the RFC
preamble.
Review corrections
A subsequent review raised six defects. All six were verified against the
current code and all six were valid; two proved worse than reported.
realpath,expanduser,size,linecount,hash, anddigest, thequery environment also omits
which(registered as both a filter and afunction),
command_available,now, and all seven file tests. Repairingonly the original list would have left the roadmap's own "no helper
silently disappears" criterion unmet.
%Zis withdrawn.TimestampValuewraps atime::OffsetDateTime,which retains a numeric offset and no zone identity, and the project
depends on no IANA time-zone database, so an abbreviation cannot be
recovered from any timestamp. The specifier table now points at
%z.keeps every non-pure helper registered as a stub, so both environments hold
identical name sets and the specified set difference is always empty. It is
replaced by a per-helper disposition check that exercises each
registration.
combinemerge laws were overstated. Associativity and self-mergeidempotence fail under
appendandprepend; both laws are now scoped toreplaceandkeep, with the counterexamples recorded.input order is not a valid check when first-appearance order is
observable. It now varies hash-map internals while holding logical order
fixed.
Verification
Documentation-only change, so the Markdown gates are the applicable set:
make markdownlint, including the generatedtypos.tomlcheck and theen-GB-oxendict spelling pass — pass
make nixie— pass, including the slice-dependency flowchartmake check-fmt— passThe branch was rebased onto
1d0cb167andmake lint,make typecheck, andmake testwere run on the result. Fivetrybuildtests initially timed outat nextest's 300s limit under a load average of 85 from other agents on the
shared host; re-run in isolation on a quiesced machine all five pass, the
slowest at 64s. That was Cargo package-cache lock contention, not a
regression — four of the five live in files
1d0cb167never touched, and thisbranch changes no Rust.
make fmtwas run once for inspection. Itsmdformat-allstep reflowedtwenty unrelated documents and pre-existing prose outside the changed hunks,
so that reflow was reverted to keep the diff scoped.
