🍰 Crème Brûlée Inspector - A Delicate Stack of Linting and Language Services

🎂 Release Name: Crème Brûlée Inspector

Like its namesake dessert, this release brings a satisfying crack of insight to your development experience. The linter torches away imperfections while the LSP provides that smooth, creamy developer experience underneath.

Serving Size: 240 files
Preparation Time: Feature-complete, fully tested, production-ready
Dietary Information: Zero breaking changes (100% additive)
Chef's Special: Real-time validation with a side of async performance


🍽️ Today's Menu

🔍 1. Command-Line Linter (txtx lint)

A discerning sommelier for your code, swirling each runbook to detect notes of undefined inputs and hints of misconfiguration.

New Command (served fresh):

🎭 The Main Course

Appetizer: Linter Catches Undefined Inputs

Runbook (deploy.tx):

action "deploy" "evm::deploy_contract" {
  contract_path = input.contract
  api_key = input.undefined_key  # Error! Burnt to a crisp!
}

Manifest (txtx.yml):

environments:
  production:
    inputs:
      contract: "contracts/Token.sol"
      # api_key is missing from the pantry!

Linter Output (served with a dollop of helpful context):

$ txtx lint deploy.tx --env production

deploy.tx:
  3:13  error  Undefined input 'undefined_key'  undefined-input

✖ 1 error found

Main Dish: LSP Provides Real-Time Feedback

In VSCode (à la carte service):

  1. Type input. → Auto-completion shows available inputs from manifest
  2. Hover over input.contract → Shows value from current environment
  3. Reference undefined input → Red squiggle with error message
  4. Ctrl+Click on input reference → Jump to manifest definition

Dessert: Test Utilities Simplify Testing

Before (store-bought):

#[test]
fn test_validation() {
    let content = r#"
        action "test" "evm::deploy" {
            signer = signer.undefined
        }
    "#;
    let result = validate_hcl(content);
    assert!(result.errors.iter().any(|e| e.message.contains("undefined")));
}

After (homemade with love):

#[test]
fn test_validation() {
    let result = RunbookBuilder::new()
        .action("test", "evm::deploy")
        .input("signer", "signer.undefined")
        .validate();

    assert_validation_error!(result, "undefined");
}

Running Tests (Kitchen Timer)

# Run all CLI tests (without supervisor UI)
just cli-unit
just cli-int

# Run specific test suites
just lint-unit       # Linter unit tests
just lint-int        # Linter integration tests
just lsp-unit        # LSP unit tests
just lsp-int         # LSP integration tests

# Run with coverage
just coverage

Important: All tests use --no-default-features --features cli to avoid building the supervisor UI, which requires npm/node and other build tools only available to maintainers.

Viewing Architecture Diagrams

The restaurant's blueprint - see how the kitchen really works.

Using Docker (Modern Kitchen)

cd docs/architecture/linter  # or docs/architecture/lsp

docker pull structurizr/lite
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd):/usr/local/structurizr \
  structurizr/lite

Then open: http://localhost:8080

Using Podman (Artisanal Kitchen)

cd docs/architecture/linter

podman pull docker.io/structurizr/lite
podman run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd):/usr/local/structurizr:Z \
  docker.io/structurizr/lite

What You'll See (The Floor Plan)

  • System Context - txtx components and external systems
  • Container Diagrams - Linter and LSP containers
  • Component Diagrams - Internal component structure
  • Dynamic Diagrams - Validation flows and LSP request sequences

🔪 Chef's Secret Techniques

1. Eliminated txtx-lsp Crate (Simplified the Menu)

Before: Separate LSP crate with duplicated validation logic
After: LSP integrated into txtx-cli, shares validation with linter

Benefits (efficiency gains):

  • No code duplication
  • Shared validation rules
  • Simpler dependency graph
  • Easier testing

See: ADR 002: Eliminate LSP Server Crate

2. Async LSP Handlers (Convection Oven Technology)

Performance: ~50% faster response times - like using a convection oven instead of conventional

Implementation (professional equipment):

  • Tokio async runtime
  • Document caching with 60-second TTL
  • LRU cache for completions (100 items)
  • Concurrent request processing

See: LSP Async Implementation

3. State Machine for Workspace Management (Precision Temperature Control)

States: Uninitialized → Indexing → Ready → Validating → Ready

Benefits (consistent results):

  • Clear workspace lifecycle
  • Prevents concurrent validation conflicts
  • Observable state transitions
  • Easier debugging

See: LSP State Management

4. Visitor Pattern for HCL Validation (Mise en Place)

Pattern: Capture everything, filter later

Implementation (prep work):

  • Single AST traversal captures all references
  • Post-processing filters by type (inputs, signers, actions, etc.)
  • Readonly iterators for safety

See: ADR 003: Capture Everything Pattern

5. File Boundary Mapping (Multi-Course Coordination)

Problem: Multi-file runbooks need accurate error locations

Solution: Track file boundaries during parsing, map violations to correct files

Implementation:

  • FileBoundaryMapper in txtx-core/src/validation/file_boundary.rs
  • Used by both linter and LSP

Migration Guide

No change to your regular menu - we've only added new specials!

No migration required - this PR is purely additive.

New Commands (today's specials):

txtx lint <file>        # New: Validate runbooks
txtx lsp                # New: Start LSP server (usually via editor)

Existing Commands: Unchanged
Existing APIs: Unchanged

🥄 Still Simmering

Current Limitations (Not Yet on the Menu)

  1. Limited Rules: Only 2 linter rules implemented (undefined-input, cli-override)

    • Future: Add more rules (undefined-signer, sensitive-data, etc.)
  2. No Config Files: Configuration via CLI flags only

    • Future: Support .txtxlint.yml config files
  3. No Inline Rule Control: Can't disable rules per-line

    • Future: Support # txtx-lint-disable-next-line comments
  4. Basic Caching: Simple TTL-based caching

    • Future: Incremental parsing, smarter invalidation

Documented in Future Sections (Coming Soon to a Kitchen Near You)

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces two major user-facing features for txtx - a doctor command for validation and LSP support for IDE integration. Both features are implemented using compiler-inspired design patterns to demonstrate how compiler architecture principles could benefit txtx without modifying the existing execution pipeline. The implementation serves as both a working solution and a proof of concept for future architectural considerations.

Key Changes:

  • Introduces txtx doctor command with multi-phase validation and rich error messages
  • Adds full LSP support with real-time validation, completions, and hover documentation
  • Implements new testing infrastructure with type-safe RunbookBuilder API

Architectural Focus:

  • Demonstrates compiler-inspired validation phases without changing execution model
  • Shows how validation can be separated from execution for better testing and error detection

The eprintln! statement will pollute stderr during test runs. Consider using a proper logging framework or conditional compilation for debug builds only. Alternatively, this could be a comment explaining the fallback behavior.

[nitpick] The deprecated input mappings are hardcoded in the validation rule. Consider moving these to a configuration file or making them configurable to allow projects to define their own deprecated inputs without code changes.

I agree that making the deprecated inputs configurable would be valuable. However, I felt that adding a full configuration system for custom linting rules would be out of scope for this PR, which is already quite large and focused on introducing the coupled doctor command and LSP functionality.

The current hardcoded deprecated mappings serve as a proof-of-concept for how validation rules work in the doctor command. Making these configurable would involve:

  • Designing a configuration schema for custom lint rules
  • Adding configuration file loading and parsing
  • Creating a rule registration system
  • Potentially supporting different rule severity levels and auto-fix capabilities

I think this would be better addressed as follow-on work in a dedicated PR that introduces the infrastructure for customizable linters. That way we can properly design the configuration system and ensure it's extensible for other types of custom rules beyond just deprecated inputs.

crates/txtx-core/src/validation/hcl_validator.rs:1

  • The condition if error.line > 0 may not be correct for zero-based line numbering systems. If line numbers are 1-based (as suggested by span_to_position starting at line 1), then line 0 would be invalid. However, if they're 0-based, line 0 would be valid. This inconsistency could cause the first line to be reported as having no position.

Using eprintln! for informational messages in library code is not ideal. Consider using a proper logging framework or returning this information as part of the result structure so callers can decide how to handle it.

Make validation capabilities explicit at compile time by using separate
types instead of constructor variants. This prevents confusion about
what can be validated and follows Rust's principle of making invalid
states unrepresentable.

Document intent explaining that get_content() and
get_files() methods are intentionally preserved for future From/Into
trait implementations that will convert RunbookBuilder into test
harness inputs.

[nitpick] These two validator structs have nearly identical fields except for addon_specs. Consider using a single generic validator struct with an optional addon_specs parameter to reduce code duplication.

// TODO: This is a stopgap solution until we implement a proper compiler pipeline.
//
// Current limitation: txtx-core cannot directly depend on addon implementations
// (evm, bitcoin, svm, etc.) due to:
// - Heavy dependencies that would bloat core
// - WASM compatibility requirements
// - Optional addon features
// - Circular dependency concerns
//
// Current workaround: Two validation paths exist:
// 1. Simple validation (here) - returns empty specs, limited validation
// 2. Full validation (CLI/LSP) - passes in actual addon specs
//
// Future solution: A proper compiler pipeline with phases:
// Parse → Resolve (load addons) → Type Check → Optimize → Codegen
// The resolver phase would load addon specs based on addon declarations
// in the runbook, making them available for all subsequent phases.
// This would eliminate the architectural split between validation paths.
//
// For now, return empty map - actual implementation would use addon_registry

## Architecture
Introduce a shared validation layer in txtx-core that serves as the foundation
for both CLI linting and LSP real-time diagnostics. The architecture consists of:

- **ValidationContext**: Central state management for all validation operations,
  reducing parameter passing through the validation pipeline
- **HCL Validator**: Two-tier system (BasicHclValidator and FullHclValidator)
  that performs AST traversal and structural validation
- **Runbook Collector**: Extracts domain-specific items (inputs, variables,
  actions, signers) from runbook files for analysis
- **Rule System**: Extensible linter rule infrastructure with RuleIdentifier
  supporting both core and addon-scoped rules

## Changes
Add validation module (txtx-core/src/validation/):
- context.rs: ValidationContext with builder pattern for flexible configuration
- validator.rs: High-level validate_runbook API with ValidatorConfig
- hcl_validator/: AST visitor pattern with block processors and dependency graph
- hcl_diagnostics.rs: Convert HCL parse errors to user-friendly diagnostics
- linter_rules.rs: Core lint rules (cli-override, input-naming, sensitive-data)
- manifest_validator.rs: Validate inputs against manifest environments
- rule_id.rs: Typed rule identifiers with addon scope support
- types.rs: Shared validation types (errors, warnings, suggestions)
- file_boundary.rs: Track line mappings for multi-file runbooks

Add runbook analysis (txtx-core/src/runbook/):
- collector.rs: Extract RunbookItems from HCL AST via visitor pattern
- variables.rs: Track variable definitions, references, and resolution

Add C4 architecture annotations to core validation components:
- ValidationContext: @c4-component with state management responsibilities
- HCL Validator: @c4-component with two-phase validation responsibilities
- Manifest Validator: @c4-component with input validation responsibilities
- FileBoundaryMapper: @c4-component documenting normalization strategy pattern

## Context
This foundational layer enables static analysis of txtx runbooks before execution.
The shared validation context eliminates duplicate logic between CLI and LSP,
while the collector enables features like "find all references", unused
variable detection, flow validation with related locations, file boundary mapping
for accurate multi-file error locations, and runbook-scoped references for proper
LSP scoping. The rule system is designed for extensibility, allowing addons to
register custom validation rules.

C4 annotations document the validation architecture for auto-generation of
component diagrams, establishing the foundation for architecture-as-code
documentation strategy.
## Architecture
Introduce txtx-test-utils as a centralized testing toolkit that consolidates
validation and execution testing. The module provides two main testing paths:

- **Validation Testing**: Fluent RunbookBuilder API with SimpleValidator for
  static analysis testing without execution overhead
- **Execution Testing**: TestHarness for full runbook execution with mocked
  blockchain interactions (moved from txtx-core)

The validation layer supports two modes: HCL-only validation for syntax and
basic semantics, and full manifest validation for environment and input checking.

## Changes
Add txtx-test-utils crate with:
- builders/runbook_builder.rs: Fluent API for programmatic runbook construction
- builders/runbook_builder_enhanced.rs: Extended builder with additional helpers
- builders/parser.rs: HCL parsing utilities for test content
- simple_validator.rs: Lightweight validation wrapper using ValidationContext
- assertions/mod.rs: Test assertion macros (assert_error, assert_validation_error)
- addon_registry.rs: Addon specification extraction for tests
- test_harness.rs: Mock-based execution testing (moved from core)
- README.md: Comprehensive documentation with usage patterns and limitations
- examples/enhanced_builder_example.rs: Reference implementation

## Context
This consolidation reduces test boilerplate across the codebase and provides
consistent patterns for testing both validation rules and execution flows.
The builder API enables readable, maintainable tests while the dual-mode
validation allows testing at different levels of strictness. The clear
documentation of limitations helps developers choose between unit tests
with RunbookBuilder and integration tests with the full lint pipeline.

These utilities support testing of flow validation with related locations,
multi-file runbook validation with file boundary mapping, LSP workspace
diagnostics, and runbook-scoped reference resolution.
## Synopsis
```
txtx lint [RUNBOOK] [OPTIONS]
txtx lint RUNBOOK --gen-cli [--manifest-path PATH] [--env ENV]
txtx lint RUNBOOK --gen-cli-full [--manifest-path PATH] [--env ENV]
txtx lint [RUNBOOK] [--manifest-path PATH] [--env ENV] [--input KEY=VALUE...]
txtx lint [RUNBOOK] [--format stylish|compact|json|quickfix]
txtx lint --init
```

## Architecture
Implement `txtx lint` command that performs static analysis of runbooks and
manifests using the validation infrastructure from txtx-core. The architecture
consists of:

- **Linter Engine** (validator.rs): Orchestrates validation using ValidationContext
  from core and coordinates rule execution
- **Workspace Analyzer** (workspace.rs): Discovers txtx.yml manifests by searching
  upward from current directory and resolves runbook files
- **Rule System** (rules.rs): Function-based validation rules with typed
  CliRuleId for errors/warnings/suggestions
- **Formatters** (formatter.rs): Multiple output formats (stylish, compact, json,
  quickfix) for IDE/CI integration
- **Configuration** (config.rs): Centralized LinterConfig with manifest path,
  environment selection, and CLI input overrides

## Changes
Add lint command (txtx-cli/src/cli/lint/):
- mod.rs: Main entry point with run_lint orchestration and --gen-cli support

Add linter module (txtx-cli/src/cli/linter/):
- validator.rs: Linter struct with validate_content and IntoManifest trait
- workspace.rs: WorkspaceAnalyzer with upward manifest discovery
- rules.rs: ValidationContext, ValidationIssue types, and rule implementations
  (input-defined, naming-convention, cli-override, sensitive-data)
- rule_id.rs: CliRuleId enum for typed rule identification
- formatter.rs: Format enum with stylish/compact/json/quickfix outputs
- config.rs: LinterConfig for configuring validation runs
- README.md: Architecture documentation and usage examples

Add shared utilities:
- common/addon_registry.rs: Extract addon specifications for validation

Add C4 architecture annotations to linter components:
- Linter Engine: @c4-component orchestrating validation pipeline
- WorkspaceAnalyzer: @c4-component for manifest discovery and runbook resolution
- Documents normalization strategy (multi-file → single-file) in annotations
- Relationships: WorkspaceAnalyzer → Linter Engine → ValidationContext

## Testing
Include 24 unit tests covering:
- Manifest discovery (upward search, git root boundary, explicit paths)
- Runbook resolution (direct paths, standard locations, not found cases)
- Validation engine (error detection, manifest context integration)
- Circular dependency detection (2-way, 3-way, false positive prevention)
- Rule system (CLI rule ID display and identification)

## Context
The lint command provides pre-execution validation similar to TypeScript's tsc,
catching configuration errors before runbook execution. The workspace analyzer
enables project-level linting without explicit manifest paths, while the
formatter abstraction supports both human (stylish) and machine (json/quickfix)
outputs for IDE integration. The --gen-cli flag generates CLI commands from
runbook inputs, bridging declarative runbooks with imperative shell workflows.

The workspace analyzer supports multi-file runbook validation by combining
runbook sources and tracking file boundaries for accurate error reporting across
flow definitions, variable references, and related locations.
## Synopsis
```
txtx lsp
```

Starts the Language Server Protocol server for IDE integration. Communicates
over stdin/stdout using the LSP protocol.

## Architecture
Implement LSP server for txtx runbooks providing IDE features through a handler-based
architecture with AST-powered reference tracking and intelligent state management:

- **Handler System**: Request handlers for completion, definition, hover, references,
  rename, and diagnostics with shared workspace state
- **AST-Based References** (hcl_ast.rs): Uses hcl-edit parser (same as runtime/linter)
  for accurate reference extraction with strict and lenient modes
- **Workspace State** (workspace/state.rs): Thread-safe state with validation caching,
  dependency tracking, and environment resolution
- **State Machine** (workspace/state_machine.rs): Explicit workspace states (Ready,
  Validating, etc.) with audit trail for debugging
- **Smart Validation**: Content hashing prevents redundant validation; dependency graph
  enables cascade validation through transitive dependencies (A→B→C)
- **Multi-Environment Support**: Cross-file operations work across environment-specific
  files (e.g., signers.sepolia.tx, signers.mainnet.tx)
- **Multi-File Runbooks**: Workspace diagnostics validate entire runbooks with file
  boundary mapping for accurate error locations across flow definitions
- **Runbook-Scoped References**: References and rename operations properly scoped to
  runbook boundaries (variables, flows, actions, outputs) vs workspace-wide (inputs, signers)

## Changes
Add LSP implementation (txtx-cli/src/cli/lsp/):
- mod.rs: Main server loop with request routing
- async_handler.rs: Async request handling with caching
- hcl_ast.rs: AST-based reference extraction with visitor pattern

Add handlers (handlers/):
- completion.rs, definition.rs, hover.rs, references.rs, rename.rs
- diagnostics.rs: Real-time diagnostics with multi-file runbook support
- document_sync.rs, workspace.rs
- environment_resolver.rs, workspace_discovery.rs, debug_dump.rs

Add workspace state (workspace/):
- state.rs: WorkspaceState with validation cache and dependency graph
- state_machine.rs: MachineState with 50-transition audit trail
- validation_state.rs: Per-document validation status tracking
- dependency_graph.rs: Transitive dependency resolution with cycle detection
- dependency_extractor.rs, documents.rs, manifests.rs, manifest_converter.rs

Add validation integration (validation/):
- adapter.rs, converter.rs, hcl_converter.rs: Adapt linter for LSP diagnostics

Add multi-file support:
- diagnostics_multi_file.rs: Workspace diagnostics for entire runbooks
- multi_file.rs: Runbook expansion and file boundary mapping
- Related locations in diagnostics for flow validation errors

Add utilities:
- utils/: environment.rs, file_scanner.rs
- diagnostics.rs, diagnostics_hcl_integrated.rs
- linter_adapter.rs, functions.rs

Remove deprecated txtx-lsp crate (5039 lines)

Add documentation (2158 lines):
- docs/lsp-state-management.md: State architecture and implementation status
- docs/lsp-sequence-diagram.md, docs/lsp-use-case-diagram.md
- README.md, ASYNC_GUIDE.md

## Features
- Code completion for inputs, actions, and signers
- Go-to-definition across multiple files and environments
- Find all references with runbook-scoped filtering
- Rename refactoring with runbook scope awareness (updates references, preserves prefixes)
- Real-time diagnostics using linter rules with multi-file runbook support
- Flow validation with related locations showing missing inputs across files
- File boundary mapping for accurate error locations in multi-file runbooks
- Hover documentation for functions and actions
- Environment-aware manifest resolution
- Automatic cascade validation when dependencies change

## Testing
Include 200+ unit and integration tests covering:
- State machine transitions and audit trail
- Cascade validation through dependency chains
- Multi-file and multi-environment references/rename
- Runbook-scoped reference filtering (variables, flows, actions vs inputs, signers)
- HCL diagnostics integration
- Multi-file runbook workspace diagnostics
- Flow validation with related locations
- Environment switching and manifest resolution
- Dependency extraction and graph operations
- Mock editor for end-to-end testing

## Context
Provides IDE features for txtx runbooks with real-time validation feedback. AST-based
reference extraction ensures consistency with runtime/linter and eliminates false
positives in strings/comments. State machine enables observability for debugging.
Multi-environment support handles enterprise workflows with environment-specific
configurations. Multi-file runbook support enables proper flow validation with accurate
error locations and related location tracking. Runbook-scoped references prevent
cross-runbook pollution while maintaining workspace-wide visibility for manifest inputs.
Integrates with CLI linter to share validation logic.
Add test fixtures and integration tests using the RunbookBuilder API
from txtx-test-utils. Provides both demonstrative fixtures for users and
programmatic test coverage for linter and LSP functionality.

Add linter demonstration fixtures (addons/evm/fixtures/linter_demo/):
- README.md: Documentation for linter command with usage examples
- runbooks/correct_transfer.tx: Example showing proper action output usage
- runbooks/problematic_transfer.tx: Common mistakes for demonstration
- txtx.yml: Test manifest with environment configuration
- linter_demo.sh, linter_with_links_demo.sh: Interactive demo scripts
- test_linter.sh: Automated test script for fixture validation

Add linter integration tests (crates/txtx-cli/tests/linter_tests_builder.rs):
- builder-based test cases covering:
  - Circular variable detection (simple, chain, self-reference)
  - Input validation against manifest environments
  - Action output field validation
  - Variable and action reference resolution
  - Naming convention checks
  - CLI input override warnings
  - Multi-file runbook validation with flow definitions
  - Flow input validation across runbook files

Add LSP integration tests (crates/txtx-cli/tests/lsp_tests_builder.rs):
- LSP feature tests using RunbookBuilder:
  - Function hover information
  - Action type hover
  - Diagnostic generation for validation errors
  - Multi-file runbook diagnostics with file boundary mapping
  - Test helper macros (assert_has_diagnostic, assert_has_error)

Add addon examples:
- addons/evm/examples/list_addon_functions.rs: Utility to list available EVM functions

Include 49 test functions covering:
- Circular dependency detection and error reporting
- Multi-environment input validation
- Action output field existence checking
- Variable scoping and resolution
- Self-referential variable detection
- Flow validation with related locations across multiple files
- File boundary mapping for accurate multi-file error locations
- LSP hover information for functions and actions
- Runbook-scoped reference resolution

These fixtures serve dual purposes: user-facing demonstration of linter
capabilities and programmatic test coverage. The linter_demo fixtures provide
runnable examples for documentation and training, while the builder-based tests
enable maintainable integration testing. The RunbookBuilder API allows concise
test creation without manual HCL string construction. Multi-file test coverage
validates flow definitions, file boundary mapping, and related location tracking.
## Architecture
Provide IDE integration for txtx through VSCode extension and Neovim plugin,
both communicating with the txtx LSP server for language features:

**VSCode Extension**:
- LSP client connecting to `txtx lsp` command
- LspPathResolver with priority: config → env → project binaries → workspace → system
- Environment management with workspace-scoped persistence
- Status bar indicators for LSP state and selected environment
- Commands for environment selection and LSP restart

**Neovim Plugin** (nvim-txtx):
- Tree-sitter grammar for .tx syntax highlighting (5971 lines generated parser)
- LSP client with Lspsaga integration for enhanced UI
- Workspace discovery with automatic txtx.yml manifest parsing
- Cross-file navigation (manifest → runbooks, runbooks → manifest definitions)
- Environment switching through Lua commands

## Changes
Add VSCode extension (vscode-extension/):
- src/extension.ts: Main extension with LSP client lifecycle management (498 lines)
- src/extension-refactored.ts: Alternative implementation (471 lines)
- package.json: Extension manifest with commands and configuration
- syntaxes/txtx.tmLanguage.json: TextMate grammar for syntax highlighting
- language-configuration.json: Bracket matching and auto-closing pairs
- README.md: Setup instructions and development guide

Add VSCode tests (test/):
- suite/workspace-state.test.ts: Workspace state management (554 lines)
- suite/opening-order.test.ts: File opening order handling (401 lines)
- suite/file-order.test.ts: File order scenarios (306 lines)
- suite/environment-persistence.test.ts: Environment persistence (238 lines)
- suite/definition.test.ts: Go-to-definition tests (186 lines)
- suite/environment-timing.test.ts: Environment timing (161 lines)
- unit/lsp-client.test.ts: LSP client unit tests (258 lines)
- suite/basic.test.ts, hover.test.ts, lsp.test.ts, extension_test.ts

Add Neovim plugin (vscode-extension/nvim-txtx/):
- grammar.js: Tree-sitter grammar definition for .tx syntax
- src/parser.c: Generated Tree-sitter parser (5971 lines)
- src/grammar.json, src/node-types.json: Parser metadata
- queries/highlights.scm: Syntax highlighting queries

Add Neovim Lua modules (lua/txtx/):
- init.lua: Plugin setup and initialization
- lsp.lua: LSP client configuration (344 lines)
- commands.lua: User commands for workspace operations (371 lines)
- navigation.lua: Cross-file navigation (273 lines)
- manifest.lua: Manifest parsing and environment management (232 lines)
- workspace.lua: Workspace discovery (156 lines)
- treesitter.lua: Tree-sitter integration (101 lines)
- utils.lua: Utility functions (129 lines)

Add build infrastructure:
- scripts/build.sh: Compile Tree-sitter parser
- bindings/: Node.js and Rust bindings for parser
- README.md: Installation and usage guide (249 lines)

## Features
VSCode:
- Syntax highlighting, hover, completion, diagnostics, go-to-definition
- Environment selector with workspace persistence
- LSP auto-discovery from multiple locations
- Status bar with server state and environment display
- Multi-file runbook diagnostics with file boundary mapping
- Runbook-scoped references and rename

Neovim:
- Tree-sitter syntax highlighting for .tx files
- LSP integration with optional Lspsaga enhanced UI
- Navigate from manifest locations to runbook files
- Navigate from input/env references to definitions
- Cross-file rename for manifest and runbook variables
- Environment switching through commands
- Flow validation with related locations across files
- Runbook-scoped reference filtering

## Testing
Include 64 test cases covering:
- Workspace state management across file operations
- File opening order and initialization timing
- Environment persistence and switching
- LSP client lifecycle and error handling
- Go-to-definition across file types
- Multi-file diagnostics with accurate error locations
- Headless testing support

## Context
Provides editor integration for txtx development in both VSCode and Neovim.
The VSCode extension handles LSP binary discovery through multiple fallback
mechanisms for both development and production use. The Neovim plugin uses
Tree-sitter for accurate syntax highlighting and provides workspace-aware
navigation. Both implementations leverage the shared txtx LSP server for
language features, ensuring consistent behavior across editors. Multi-file
runbook support enables proper flow validation with accurate error locations
and related location tracking. Runbook-scoped references prevent cross-runbook
pollution while maintaining workspace-wide visibility for manifest inputs.
…tions

Add c4-generator crate to extract C4 architecture annotations from Rust
source code and generate Structurizr DSL.

## Implementation

- Scan all .rs files in crates/ for @c4-* annotations in doc comments
- Extract component metadata: name, container, description, technology
- Extract relationships: @c4-uses, @c4-relationship
- Extract responsibilities: @c4-responsibility
- Generate workspace-generated.dsl with Structurizr DSL format
- Proper ID sanitization for view keys (a-zA-Z0-9_-)
- Group components by container with component views

## Rationale

Bash script approach would be too complex due to:
- Nested process substitution causing hangs with heredocs
- Subshell scope issues preventing associative array updates
- Fragile sed/grep patterns for extracting multi-line annotations
- sed inconsistencies across platforms (BSD sed on macOS vs GNU sed on Linux)
- Unreliable handling of optional annotation fields
- Platform-specific shell differences (bash vs zsh)

Rust provides:
- Type-safe data structures (Component, HashMap)
- Reliable regex parsing with capture groups
- Proper error handling vs silent failures
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Native binary performance
## Architecture
Add comprehensive build infrastructure and developer tooling to streamline
development workflow and handle build constraints:

**Build System**:
- Cargo aliases for building without supervisor UI (requires privileged tooling)
- Separate unit and integration test targets for CLI, linter, and LSP
- Just recipes providing ergonomic task runner interface
- Development RUSTFLAGS to suppress common warnings during iteration

**VSCode Integration**:
- Launch configurations for debugging CLI, LSP, and tests
- Task definitions for common build operations
- Settings for Rust development with recommended extensions

**Performance Monitoring**:
- Criterion benchmarks for LSP request handling

**Architecture Documentation**:
- C4 diagram generation from code annotations
- Structurizr Lite integration for viewing diagrams
- Module dependency graph generation

## Changes
Add Cargo configuration (.cargo/config.toml):
- build-cli, build-cli-release: Build without supervisor UI
- test-cli-unit, test-cli-int: Separate unit and integration test targets
- test-cli-unit-linter, test-cli-int-linter: Linter-specific tests
- test-cli-unit-lsp, test-cli-int-lsp: LSP-specific tests
- test-hcl-diagnostics, test-lsp-validation: Focused validation tests
- tokio_unstable rustflag for async runtime features

Add justfile with 30 recipes (195 lines):

**Build recipes**:
- build, build-release: Build CLI with/without optimizations
- check: Fast syntax/type checking without codegen
- fmt: Format code with rustfmt
- clean: Remove build artifacts

**Test recipes**:
- cli-unit, cli-int: CLI unit and integration tests
- lint-unit, lint-int: Linter-specific unit and integration tests
- lsp-unit, lsp-int: LSP-specific unit and integration tests
- test <name>: Run specific test by name
- test-verbose: Run tests with full output
- watch: Auto-run tests on file changes

**Coverage recipes**:
- coverage: Generate HTML coverage report
- coverage-ci: Generate JSON coverage for CI/CD pipelines
- coverage-test <name>: Coverage for specific test module

**Analysis recipes**:
- complexity-high: Find functions with high cyclomatic complexity
- complexity-file <file>: Analyze complexity of specific file

**Documentation recipes**:
- doc: Generate and open API documentation
- doc-all: Generate docs for all packages including dependencies

**Architecture recipes**:
- arch-c4: Generate C4 diagrams from @c4-* code annotations
- arch-view: Generate and view diagrams with Structurizr Lite (podman/docker)
- arch-modules: Generate module dependency graph with cargo-modules

Add architecture tooling:
- scripts/generate-c4-from-code.sh: Bash reference implementation (deprecated)
- Just recipes use Rust c4-generator for reliable cross-platform generation
- Auto-detect podman/docker with :Z flag for SELinux compatibility
- Output to workspace-generated.dsl (gitignored)

Add VSCode configuration:
- .vscode/launch.json: Debug configurations for CLI, LSP, tests
- .vscode/tasks.json: Build task definitions
- .vscode/settings.json: Rust-analyzer and editor settings
- .vscode/settings.json.example: Template for team settings

Add benchmarks:
- benches/lsp_performance.rs: Criterion benchmarks for LSP completion and hover

Update build configuration:
- crates/txtx-cli/Cargo.toml: Add criterion dev-dependency, configure benches
- crates/txtx-core/Cargo.toml: Update dependencies
- Cargo.toml: Add c4-generator to workspace members
- Cargo.lock: Update dependency resolution (257 line changes)

Update gitignore:
- .structurizr/: Structurizr Lite generated files
- workspace.json: Structurizr workspace metadata
- workspace-generated.dsl: Auto-generated from code annotations
- Coverage reports, VSCode files, build artifacts

Add development files:
- bacon.toml: Configure bacon file watcher

Update CLI structure:
- src/cli/mod.rs: Add ls-envs command, refactor module organization (123 line changes)
- src/cli/common/mod.rs: Add common utilities module
- src/cli/docs/mod.rs, src/cli/runbooks/mod.rs: Minor updates

## Context
The supervisor UI build requires npm/node and specific frontend tooling not
available to all developers. The cargo aliases and justfile recipes enable
CLI-only builds with --no-default-features. The granular test aliases allow
running specific test suites (unit vs integration, linter vs LSP) for faster
iteration during development of multi-file validation, flow tracking, and
runbook-scoped reference features.

Architecture tooling supports hybrid documentation strategy:
- arch-c4 generates workspace-generated.dsl from @c4-* annotations
- arch-view launches Structurizr Lite for interactive diagram viewing
- Rust c4-generator replaces bash script for reliable cross-platform support
- Bash script kept as reference but deprecated in favor of Rust utility
Add user documentation (docs/user/):
- linter-guide.md: Complete guide with motivation, 4 validation rules, examples
- linter-configuration.md: Configuration options and rule customization

- Link to documentation structure

Add .gitattributes:
- Configure syntax highlighting for .tx files in GitHub

Implement hybrid approach to architecture documentation:

**Hand-written (workspace.dsl)**:
- C4 model with system context, containers, components
- Dynamic views showing validation flows (single-file, multi-file, flow validation)
- User interactions and presentation layer
- ~182 lines with rich narrative

**Auto-generated (workspace-generated.dsl)**:
- Components extracted from @c4-* code annotations
- Kept in sync via `just arch-c4`
- Gitignored as build artifact

**Rationale**:
- Hand-written captures runtime behavior and architectural intent
- Auto-generated keeps component inventory synced with code
- Structurizr DSL enables interactive viewing with `just arch-view`

The documentation covers implemented features including multi-file flow validation
with related locations, file boundary mapping for accurate error locations in
multi-file runbooks, and runbook-scoped reference resolution in the LSP.

[nitpick] Consider making this helper function public or moving it to a utility module since it's a generally useful operation for HashMap<K, HashSet> cleanup that might be needed elsewhere.

The regex patterns use .unwrap() which will panic if the regex is invalid. Consider using lazy_static or const regex compilation to catch these errors at compile time, or handle the error gracefully.

If I'm understanding correctly, the current self.config.manifest_path.as_ref() will read the manifest from the fs again, rather than using the one we have in memory.

The addons weren't mut, so when one of those features is enabled things break.

All of these Formats seem like overkill and additional maintenance, but I'm torn since it's already been written. No action for now, more putting this here to think about it.

I'm not really sure of the usefullness of this README. It's a maintenance burden that is already outdated within this PR (the below documents --format github, which is not valid).
