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-aligned
    steps.
  • docs/contents.md and docs/repository-layout.md: index the new
    docs/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:

  • a normative cross-cutting contract (§6) covering purity class,
    manifest-query availability, determinism, capability boundary, platform
    behaviour, type and error handling, resource bounds, diagnostics, and the
    documentation and testing obligations;
  • a canonical value-equality relation (§6.7) built on the existing
    serde_json_canonicalizer dependency, so collection algebra can never leak
    hash-set ordering into a generated build graph;
  • eighteen deliberate divergences from surveyed Ansible behaviour (§12);
  • naming-collision resolutions (§11) for hash versus text_hash, abs
    as both a filter and a test, groupby versus group_by, unique versus
    uniq, items versus dict2items, in versus contains, and urlencode
    versus urldecode; and
  • ten delivery slices (§14) with a recommended first wave.

Decisions worth a reviewer's attention

These are the places where the RFC deliberately departs from what #596
suggested, each with rationale in the document:

  1. to_nice_yaml is rejected in favour of to_yaml(indent=4). Two names
    differing only in a default indent is the alias thicket the RFC otherwise
    refuses. Flagged as open question 1 (§16) so it can be overruled.
  2. The win_* family is rejected in favour of a uniform
    dialect='host'|'posix'|'windows' argument across every lexical path
    helper. The win_* names cover three operations out of eight and cannot
    express the posix direction at all.
  3. version requires its operator explicitly. Ansible defaults it to
    eq, which defeats the point of an ordering predicate.
  4. zip_longest requires fill_value, so a silent none cannot enter a
    build graph.
  5. regex_findall's return shape depends only on its arguments, never on
    how many capture groups the pattern happens to contain.
  6. regex_replace rejects Python-style \1 replacements with a
    diagnostic pointing at the $1 form, as a migration guard against silently
    emitting the literal text.
  7. path_join rejects an absolute component after the first position.
    Python's reset behaviour makes ['/safe/root', '/etc/passwd'] yield
    /etc/passwd.
  8. mount is accepted but sequenced last, with an explicit
    unsupported-platform error rather than a plausible false.

Open questions 2 and 3 (§16), the abs test name and whether version should
tolerate a v prefix, are also live and are gated in the roadmap before the
relevant 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_error builds its message with format! rather
    than a Fluent key, unlike the rest of the stdlib.
  • size, linecount, hash, digest, realpath, and expanduser are
    absent from the manifest-query environment rather than failing with an
    explanation, so netsuke help targets reports "unknown filter" instead of
    naming the restriction.

RFC numbering

No RFC has been merged to main, so the sequence is defined entirely by
in-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.

  1. The manifest-query disclosure gap is sixteen names, not six. Beyond
    realpath, expanduser, size, linecount, hash, and digest, the
    query environment also omits which (registered as both a filter and a
    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.
  2. %Z is withdrawn. TimestampValue wraps a time::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.
  3. The manifest-query contract test was self-defeating. §6.2 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. It is
    replaced by a per-helper disposition check that exercises each
    registration.
  4. The combine merge laws were overstated. Associativity and self-merge
    idempotence fail under append and prepend; both laws are now scoped to
    replace and keep, with the counterexamples recorded.
  5. The determinism property test contradicted §8.3. Permuting logical
    input order is not a valid check when first-appearance order is
    observable. It now varies hash-map internals while holding logical order
    fixed.
  6. The phase-kind preamble contradicted itself in adjacent sentences.

Verification

Documentation-only change, so the Markdown gates are the applicable set:

  • make markdownlint, including the generated typos.toml check and the
    en-GB-oxendict spelling pass — pass
  • make nixie — pass, including the slice-dependency flowchart
  • make check-fmt — pass

The branch was rebased onto 1d0cb167 and make lint, make typecheck, and
make test were run on the result. Five trybuild tests initially timed out
at 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 1d0cb167 never touched, and this
branch changes no Rust.

make fmt was run once for inspection. Its mdformat-all step reflowed
twenty unrelated documents and pre-existing prose outside the changed hunks,
so that reflow was reverted to keep the diff scoped.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Accept the changes: they address issue #596 by documenting the Ansible survey, candidate dispositions, Netsuke-native contracts, deterministic behaviour, capability boundaries, naming decisions, post-v0.1.0 delivery slices, and required safeguards.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only four Markdown documentation files: RFC 0006, the roadmap, the documentation index, and the repository-layout guide. The diff against main contains no source, test, fixture, configuration, or generated-code changes. The RFC and roadmap describe future post-v0.1.0 functionality; they do not introduce executable functionality or behavioural changes in this pull request. Therefore the stated test requirement is inapplicable.

Full details: User-Facing Documentation

Explanation

Pass this check. The complete diff against main changes only docs/contents.md, docs/repository-layout.md, docs/roadmap.md, and the proposed RFC. It contains no source or test changes, and the RFC states that it is specification only, contains no implementation, and does not itself request one large standard-library change. The roadmap schedules the accepted work for releases after v0.1.0. Therefore, this pull request introduces no new or changed user-facing functionality that requires an update to docs/users-guide.md, and no migration document is required.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

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. All new Phase 6 roadmap items are unchecked, and no execplan or locale catalogue is added or changed.

Full details: Module-Level Documentation

Explanation

Pass this check because the pull request changes only Markdown documentation files: docs/contents.md, docs/repository-layout.md, docs/roadmap.md, and docs/rfcs/0006-ansible-inspired-template-standard-library.md. The diff against main contains no source modules or module declarations, so the module-level documentation requirement does not apply.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

Pass this check. The pull request changes only four Markdown files: the RFC, roadmap, contents index, and repository layout. It adds no implementation, unit tests, behavioural tests, or externally observable workflow. The RFC explicitly states that this is specification only and makes unit, property, integration, and tested-example coverage obligations apply before future child issues close. Therefore this documentation-only change does not introduce a testing failure.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

PASS — The documentation change introduces explicit invariants and recommends property testing for them. RFC 0006 §6.11 requires property tests for round trips, ordering, idempotence, combine, path_join, normpath, and serialization determinism. The RFC also specifies scoped combine laws, collection-algebra properties, Base64 and date-time round trips, and truth-value complements. Roadmap Phase 6 repeats these requirements and adds canonical-equality properties and hash-order determinism checks. The new RFC and Phase 6 content are part of the pull-request diff. No new lemma or proof assumption is stated, so an exhaustive proof recommendation is not additionally required.

Full details: Testing (Compile-Time / Ui)

Explanation

Pass. 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.

Full details: Unit Architecture

Explanation

Pass the check. The pull request changes only Markdown files; it adds no executable unit, command path, query path, dependency, or side-effect implementation. RFC 0006 explicitly classifies helpers by purity, excludes non-pure helpers from manifest-query registration, requires injected cap_std and environment-reader dependencies, and requires Result-based typed diagnostics. Its roadmap also requires boundary tests and keeps the existing clock-observing now helper outside manifest queries. The existing direct clock access and ambient glob traversal are documented pre-existing behaviour, not introduced by this pull request.

Full details: Domain Architecture

Explanation

Keep the change as documentation-only. 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: Observability

Explanation

Pass this check. The diff against the stated base changes only four Markdown files: the RFC, roadmap, documentation index, and repository-layout guide. It adds no executable code, configuration, metrics, logs, traces, or alerts. The RFC states Status: Proposed, says it specifies behaviour only and contains no implementation, and defers all accepted work until after v0.1.0. Therefore, this pull request introduces no operational behaviour that requires observability.

Full details: Security And Privacy

Explanation

Pass this check. The merge-base diff adds only Markdown files under docs/; it adds no runtime code, tests, fixtures, configuration, logs, or generated secrets. A bounded scan found no credential, token, key, personal-data, or operational-data literal; the only password-related text rejects password_hash. The RFC also specifies safe YAML parsing, duplicate-key and alias-expansion limits, capability-scoped filesystem access, injected environment access, manifest-query blocking, strict shell quoting, and regex/resource bounds. Therefore, the pull request introduces no stated security or privacy failure condition.

Full details: Performance And Resource Use

Explanation

Pass the performance and resource-use check. The diff against origin/main changes only four Markdown files under docs/; it changes no runtime or build code. RFC 0006 explicitly states that it contains no implementation. The added resource-bound text specifies limits for future work, such as checked cardinality before allocation and bounded parser, regex, and output sizes. Therefore, the pull request introduces no algorithmic regression, allocation growth, I/O, or blocking behaviour.

Full details: Concurrency And State

Explanation

Pass the check. The PR changes only four Markdown files; git diff main...HEAD -- src tests is empty. It introduces no shared mutable state, asynchronous work, locks, tasks, cancellation, transactions, or parallel execution. Its ordering and determinism statements describe pure collection and serialization results, with future property-test obligations. The bounded regex cache is only a documented future resource limit, not an introduced runtime cache.

Full details: Architectural Complexity And Maintainability

Explanation

PASS. The merge-base diff contains only four documentation paths: docs/contents.md, docs/repository-layout.md, docs/roadmap.md, and the new RFC. No Rust source, crate/module boundary, dependency manifest, registry implementation, trait, adapter, or runtime mechanism changed. The RFC explicitly describes specification-only work, focused future slices, reuse of existing StdlibConfig, registration seams, and rejection of a generic lookup dispatcher. It does not introduce architecture in this pull request, so no stated architectural-complexity failure condition applies.

Full details: Rust Compiler Lint Integrity

Explanation

Pass this check because the full PR range from base 1d0cb16 to HEAD changes only four Markdown files. It contains no Rust, Cargo, or source-like paths, no Rust lint suppressions, and no Rust ownership calls. The Rust compiler lint integrity check is therefore not applicable.

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.

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
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).

This comment was marked as resolved.

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

This comment was marked as outdated.

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.

@coderabbitai Addressing the failed Developer Documentation pre-merge check and the two most recent inline items.

Developer Documentation (⚠️ Warning) — fixed in 719a9ca

The check was right, and the miss was mine. When I corrected §6.2 clause 4 and §3.3 in 108e90a, I did not propagate either correction into §14.1, so the slice-0 description still carried both superseded claims: it described the manifest-query test as one that "enumerates both environments and asserts the difference", and it listed only six helpers as needing stubs.

Before fixing it I swept both files exhaustively for any other surviving copy of either superseded claim. §14.1 was the only one; the other cross-references were already current. §14.1 now reads:

The manifest-query registration test from section 6.2, which asserts each helper's disposition by exercising its registration rather than by differencing name sets. This slice also repairs the two existing gaps recorded in section 3.3: it localizes manifest_query_operation_error, and it adds explicit stubs for all sixteen helpers that section 3.3 records as absent from the manifest-query environment, so no helper silently disappears from a manifest query.

I took your second suggested resolution rather than the first — referencing §3.3 instead of repeating the sixteen names. Repeating the list is precisely what let this copy drift: the enumeration now exists in exactly one normative place (§3.3), with roadmap task 6.1.5 as the single execution-side restatement. A third copy would just be a third thing to forget.

Sentence punctuation, RFC §8.2 — fixed in 719a9ca, with one deviation

The comma before because is removed as you asked; the clause is restrictive.

I did not add a comma before so, and want to flag the deviation rather than have it read as a missed instruction. A comma there makes so coordinating, which asserts a result — that documenting the caveat causes authors not to assume an accumulating merge is repeatable. That is both stronger than intended and not true; documentation does not guarantee its own reception. The intent was purpose, so I wrote so that, which is unambiguously subordinating and takes no comma. The sentence now reads:

... a scalar between two sequence values makes the two groupings differ because one grouping replaces where the other appends. The guide states this at the argument so that authors do not assume an accumulating merge is repeatable.

If you read so as coordinating here regardless, say so and I will take the comma instead.

RFC §§6.2 and 8.2 (ℹ️ Info) — acknowledged, no change

Agreed and no action taken: the manifest-query section already distinguishes executable pure helpers from always-failing non-pure stubs, and the combine merge laws are already scoped to replace and keep with the append/prepend counterexamples recorded.

All applicable gates are green on a0d2fe5: make markdownlint (including the generated typos.toml check and the en-GB-oxendict pass), make nixie, and make check-fmt. make lint, make typecheck, and make test were green at 3f10b69 and every commit since touches only Markdown.

@leynos: Accept the correction.

Keep the sixteen-helper enumeration in RFC section 3.3. The section 14.1 cross-reference removes the duplicated list that caused the drift.

Keep so that without a preceding comma. It correctly introduces a purpose clause.

The current PR head contains the corrected manifest-query contract and the corrected §14.1 text. The inline findings are addressed.

@leynos: Treat both findings as resolved.

  • RFC section 8.2 removes the comma before because.
  • RFC section 8.2 uses so that without a preceding comma. This is a purpose clause, not two independent clauses joined by coordinating so.
  • RFC section 6.2 states that pure, non-disclosing helpers are executable.
  • RFC section 6.2 states that non-pure helpers are registered as always-failing stubs.
  • The combine merge-law text remains limited to the supported modes and compatible value shapes.

Do not make further changes for these items.

RFC section 14.1 and implementation planning text must reference section 3.3 instead of duplicating this list, to prevent specification drift.

You are interacting with an AI system.

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.

  • Section 6.2 states that pure, non-disclosing helpers execute in the manifest-query environment.
  • Section 6.2 requires each non-pure helper to register as an always-failing stub with a localized restriction diagnostic.
  • Section 8.2 scopes the combine laws to supported modes and value shapes. It records the append and prepend exceptions.
  • The punctuation change is correct. The text uses so that to introduce a purpose clause. Do not add a comma before it.

Do not make further changes for these findings.

Learning: In `docs/rfcs/0006-ansible-inspired-template-standard-library.md`, RFC section 3.3 is the single normative enumeration of the sixteen helpers absent from the manifest-query environment. RFC section 14.1 and implementation planning text must reference section 3.3 instead of duplicating this list, to prevent specification drift.
