nocter-conformance
Responsibility
Verify that production crate contracts compose into deterministic compiler, editor, and native behavior across the complete pipeline.
Contract
This is the only test crate allowed to depend on the full production chain. It may construct end-to-end fixtures and assert architecture manifests, but it cannot export production behavior or serve as an implementation dependency.
Invariants
- Conformance tests exercise public production entry points.
- Test helpers cannot become a compatibility layer or semantic oracle.
- Architecture tests validate resolved dependencies and types rather than source-text spellings.
