Fourth and last step of the canon-sourced rules (#543, #545, #547). The three
pieces before this one read the rules from the canon, decide which criteria
apply, and classify what was found. Nothing ran them. This adds rhodibot canon:

rhodibot canon --owner hyperpolymath --repo ubicity
rhodibot canon --path /path/to/checkout --format json
rhodibot canon --owner O --repo R --fail-on missing

Advisory by default — exits 0 whatever it finds. The canon designates
hypatia's rsr-conformance as the single normative checker, so a gate here would
be a second opinion claiming an authority it does not have. --fail-on is opt-in.

Two details that carry their weight

  • GitHubClient::tree_paths asks once for the whole file list and refuses a
    truncated response
    . A partial tree is missing files, a missing file reads as
    an absent one, and the report would manufacture findings against a repository
    that has the file.
  • get_file_content_if_present distinguishes 404 from everything else: an absent
    rsr-profile.a2ml means "declares no capabilities", a 500 means "could not read
    the declaration". Treating the second as the first would silently shrink the
    check to the universal criteria and report a cleaner scorecard than the truth.

canon/report.rs assembles the report (counts, findings worst-first, retired
locations quoted) and serialises to JSON. canon/local.rs reads a checkout,
preferring git ls-files over a walk — a walked list includes build output, and a
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md inside target/ is not the repository's code of conduct.

The pilot re-run through the tool

Unauthenticated, against the five repositories of the advisory pilot:

repository at path elsewhere deprecated absent
gitbot-fleet 17 3 0 2
ubicity 7 2 6 7
awesome-nickel 8 1 7 6
julia-professional-registry 8 1 7 6
nesy-solver 12 4 3 3

110 questions, 52 satisfied, 58 findings (11 relocated, 23 at the retired
6a2/, 24 absent). 22 of the canon's 74 criteria apply to every one of them: 26
are gated on a capability none declares, 26 more ask content questions rather
than naming files.

The 23 files under .machine_readable/6a2/ are still 23, re-derived from
criterion 3.1.1's own sentence about the retirement rather than from a hardcoded
path, with the same per-repository breakdown as the hand run. Both of the hand
run's false positives (criterion 1.2.2) now come back satisfied.

Two findings the earlier scope could not see

  • 2.1.3 asks for SECURITY.md; ubicity has SECURITY.adoc. The verdict is
    absent and the report now says what is there instead. Same for
    CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.adoc at 2.1.4. If .adoc is the
    estate's convention, the canon is where that belongs.
  • 2.2.1 is relocated for all five: the .well-known/ files live inside a
    www/ publication bundle, not at the repository root the criterion names. The
    origin-versus-repository question is worth an answer.

Verification

  • cargo test --locked — 135 lib + 10 lockstep + 50 integration, all pass
  • cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings — clean
  • new wiremock tests cover the tree listing (directories excluded), the truncated
    tree refusal, and 404-versus-500 on the optional file read
  • scripts/check-canon-drift.sh — exit 0 against upstream main

The three pieces before this one read the rules from the canon, decide which
criteria apply, and classify what was found. Nothing ran them. This adds
`rhodibot canon`:

    rhodibot canon --owner hyperpolymath --repo ubicity
    rhodibot canon --path /path/to/checkout --format json
    rhodibot canon --owner O --repo R --fail-on missing

Advisory by default -- it exits 0 whatever it finds. The canon designates
hypatia's `rsr-conformance` as the single normative checker, so a gate here
would be a second opinion claiming an authority it does not have; repositories
that want the exit code can ask for one with `--fail-on`.

Two details carry their weight:

- `GitHubClient::tree_paths` asks once for the whole file list, and **refuses a
  truncated response**. A partial tree is missing files, a missing file reads as
  an absent one, and the report would then manufacture findings against a
  repository that has the file. "Cannot tell absent from unfetched" is not an
  answer a check may give.
- `get_file_content_if_present` distinguishes 404 from everything else, because
  an absent `rsr-profile.a2ml` means "declares no capabilities" while a 500
  means "could not read the declaration". Treating the second as the first
  would silently shrink the check to the universal criteria and report a cleaner
  scorecard than the truth.

`canon/report.rs` assembles the report -- counts, findings worst-first, the
retired locations quoted so the report can explain the word it uses -- and
serialises to JSON. `canon/local.rs` reads a checkout, preferring `git ls-files`
over a walk: a walked list includes build output, and a `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`
inside `target/` is not the repository's code of conduct. When it does have to
walk, the report says so.

Run against the pilot's five repositories, unauthenticated:

    gitbot-fleet                17 at path, 3 relocated, 0 deprecated, 2 absent
    ubicity                      7          2             6            7
    awesome-nickel               8          1             7            6
    julia-professional-registry  8          1             7            6
    nesy-solver                 12          4             3            3

110 questions, 52 satisfied, 58 findings. The 23 files under
`.machine_readable/6a2/` are still 23 and still the largest class -- re-derived
from the canon's own sentence about the retirement rather than from a hardcoded
path, and with the same per-repository breakdown as the hand run. Both of the
hand run's false positives (criterion 1.2.2) now come back satisfied.

Ledger: PILOT-CANON.md carries the table and the two new findings worth a
decision (SECURITY.md vs SECURITY.adoc; .well-known/ inside a www/ bundle).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Canon command to check local checkouts or GitHub repositories against the RSR canon.
    • Reports use repository profiles to determine applicable criteria and identify missing, relocated, deprecated, and satisfied items.
    • Added human-readable and JSON report formats, including severity-based findings and summaries.
    • Added optional --fail-on thresholds for returning a failure when findings reach a selected severity.
    • Added support for discovering repository files and optional profile content from GitHub or local sources.

Walkthrough

The change adds local and GitHub repository inputs for canon checks. It adds report generation, JSON support, formatted output, and optional severity-based failure handling through a new Canon CLI command.

Changes

Canon checking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local repository input
bots/rhodibot/src/canon.rs, bots/rhodibot/src/canon/local.rs
The canon module exposes local. LocalSource reads tracked files with Git, walks files when Git is unavailable, and reads supported profile paths.
Canon report and verdict data
bots/rhodibot/src/canon/report.rs, bots/rhodibot/src/canon/verdict.rs
CanonReport evaluates criteria, records findings, renders summaries, and applies FailOn thresholds. Verdict types support serialisation and expose canon location notes.
GitHub repository input
bots/rhodibot/src/github.rs
GitHubClient lists blob paths and reads optional files. It rejects invalid, failed, or truncated responses.
Canon CLI integration
bots/rhodibot/src/main.rs
The Canon command accepts a local path or GitHub repository, supports pretty or JSON output, and returns exit code 1 when the selected severity threshold is breached.

- Around line 119-125: Update the fallback walk logic to inspect each entry with
symlink_metadata before directory or file handling. In walk, skip entries where
metadata.is_symlink() is true, then use the metadata directory check for
recursion so symlinked directories and files are both excluded while preserving
.git skipping and normal traversal.

In `@bots/rhodibot/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 273-286: Update CanonReport and its construction to include a
tracked_files boolean indicating whether the file set came from Git, set it
false for walked working-directory results, and ensure JSON serialization
exposes it. Derive the existing pretty-output warning from report.tracked_files
rather than the from_git/path condition, preserving the current warning text and
report rendering.

Skip symlinks in the fallback walk.

When git is unavailable or fails, read uses walk. path.is_dir() follows directory symlinks, so a link such as link -> .. makes walk revisit an ancestor. The repeated path can make read_dir return an error, which walk propagates to rhodibot canon --path. This is a fallback-only failure, not an unbounded Rust recursion or stack overflow. Symlinked files are also added under their link paths.

Use symlink_metadata and skip symlinks explicitly.

🐛 Proposed fix
         let entry = entry?;
         let path = entry.path();
         let name = entry.file_name();
         let name = name.to_string_lossy();
 
-        if path.is_dir() {
+        let metadata = std::fs::symlink_metadata(&path)
+            .with_context(|| format!("reading {}", path.display()))?;
+        if metadata.is_symlink() {
+            // Do not revisit ancestors or add a file under a second path.
+            continue;
+        }
+        if metadata.is_dir() {
             if name == ".git" {
                 continue;

the metadata directory check for recursion so symlinked directories and files

The JSON output hides the walked-list caveat.

The warning about a walked working directory is printed only in the pretty branch. A consumer of --format json receives the same report shape whether the file list is the tracked set or a walk that includes build output, so it can treat an accidentally satisfied criterion as satisfied. Carry the fact in the report instead of in the print path, for example as a tracked_files: bool field on CanonReport, and keep the pretty warning derived from it.
