naudachu 9480e48312 feat: add the kettle CLI, replacing the plugin's Python scripts
The plugin resolved its issue store from `__file__`, which put it inside a
versioned plugin cache: issues written from one project were invisible from the
next, and `origin: local` files — the only copy of that work by definition —
were stranded a version bump at a time. The walk that answers "which directory
is the project" was written three times over, and in a linked worktree the three
disagreed. Both are runtime failures rather than logic ones, so the fix is a
compiled binary: one walk, imported rather than re-derived, and a layering rule
the build graph enforces instead of a grep.

Seven packages, knowledge flowing one way. `project` answers which directory is
the project and depends on nothing. `issue` is the domain — format, taxonomy,
validation, checkboxes, dependency graph, the store, eviction — offline, with no
tracker in it. `wire` holds the protocol shapes. `gitea` is the transport,
`mapping` the bridge, `config` the credentials, `cmd` the command tree. Four
tests hold the boundaries, each failing on a real mistake rather than a naming
convention.

The marker moves to `.kettle/` and the login pin moves out of the harness's
settings file into `.kettle/config.yaml`, which pins a login by NAME; the tokens
live in one file per machine, mode 0600, outside every working tree. That
retires the PreToolUse guard hook entirely — the binary holds its own
credentials, so a command running under a login nobody chose is not expressible
rather than caught.

`kettle init` migrates an older `tmp/issues` or `.tea/issues` store in, as a
move: a store left behind at an old path is one somebody edits by accident
months later.

YAML support for the Go language

Introduction

The yaml package enables Go programs to comfortably encode and decode YAML values. It was developed within Canonical as part of the juju project, and is based on a pure Go port of the well-known libyaml C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably.

Compatibility

The yaml package supports most of YAML 1.2, but preserves some behavior from 1.1 for backwards compatibility.

Specifically, as of v3 of the yaml package:

  • YAML 1.1 bools (yes/no, on/off) are supported as long as they are being decoded into a typed bool value. Otherwise they behave as a string. Booleans in YAML 1.2 are true/false only.
  • Octals encode and decode as 0777 per YAML 1.1, rather than 0o777 as specified in YAML 1.2, because most parsers still use the old format. Octals in the 0o777 format are supported though, so new files work.
  • Does not support base-60 floats. These are gone from YAML 1.2, and were actually never supported by this package as it's clearly a poor choice.

and offers backwards compatibility with YAML 1.1 in some cases. 1.2, including support for anchors, tags, map merging, etc. Multi-document unmarshalling is not yet implemented, and base-60 floats from YAML 1.1 are purposefully not supported since they're a poor design and are gone in YAML 1.2.

Installation and usage

The import path for the package is gopkg.in/yaml.v3.

To install it, run:

go get gopkg.in/yaml.v3

API stability

The package API for yaml v3 will remain stable as described in gopkg.in.

Example

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "log"

        "gopkg.in/yaml.v3"
)

var data = `
a: Easy!
b:
  c: 2
  d: [3, 4]
`

// Note: struct fields must be public in order for unmarshal to
// correctly populate the data.
type T struct {
        A string
        B struct {
                RenamedC int   `yaml:"c"`
                D        []int `yaml:",flow"`
        }
}

func main() {
        t := T{}
    
        err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t)
    
        d, err := yaml.Marshal(&t)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
    
        m := make(map[interface{}]interface{})
    
        err = yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m)
    
        d, err = yaml.Marshal(&m)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("--- m dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
}

This example will generate the following output:

--- t:
{Easy! {2 [3 4]}}

--- t dump:
a: Easy!
b:
  c: 2
  d: [3, 4]


--- m:
map[a:Easy! b:map[c:2 d:[3 4]]]

--- m dump:
a: Easy!
b:
  c: 2
  d:
  - 3
  - 4
