nocter-compile-input

Responsibility

Own the closed, syntax-backed compilation input shared by declaration lowering, checking, and target validation.

Contract

The crate packages reached sources and syntax trees, package/module identity, dependency edges, selected target facts, toolchain bindings, and runtime contract input into immutable values. It does not discover files or perform semantic lowering.

Invariants

  • Every source, syntax tree, module, and dependency edge belongs to one compile unit.
  • Target selection is supplied as one completed authority and is never recomputed downstream.
  • Dependency identities are canonical; display names and paths cannot substitute for them.
  • Directly constructed test inputs obey the same validation boundary as production inputs.
