Configuration Files

deny.toml (cargo-deny)

  • GPL/AGPL blocking
  • Dependency banning (e.g., OpenSSL preference for rustls)

cliff.toml (git-cliff)

Purpose: Automated changelog generation

Configuration:

  • Conventional commits parsing
  • Semantic versioning
  • Keep a Changelog format
  • Commit type grouping (feat, fix, perf, etc.)

Rust Best Practices Applied

Performance

  • ✅ Target: < 5ms for core loops (from ORCHESTRATOR.md)
  • ✅ Benchmark regression detection (< 5% threshold)
  • ✅ Release builds with LTO, strip, opt-level 3

Security

  • ✅ No unsafe without approval (monitored in CI)
  • ✅ Pinned GitHub Actions to commit SHAs
  • ✅ Automated vulnerability scanning
  • ✅ License compliance enforcement

Code Quality

  • ✅ Zero warnings policy (RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings")
  • ✅ Comprehensive Clippy lints (pedantic, cargo, security)
  • ✅ rustfmt enforcement
  • ✅ 100% test pass requirement

Deployment

  • ✅ CLI mode (mode #2 from ORCHESTRATOR.md)
  • ✅ Cross-platform binaries
  • ✅ One-liner installation
  • ✅ Semantic versioning
