Full details: Testing (Overall)Explanation Pass this check. The verified pull-request diff changes only four Markdown files under Full details: User-Facing DocumentationExplanation Pass this check. The branch changes only documentation files and does not change implementation or user-facing behaviour. RFC 0006 explicitly states that it specifies behaviour only, contains no implementation, and targets work after v0.1.0. The existing users guide already documents the current template standard library and its reference guide, while the new RFC and Phase 6 roadmap correctly record planned future work. No users-guide or migration-guide change is required. Full details: Developer DocumentationExplanation Correct the RFC's contradictory manifest-query test record. Section 6.2 and roadmap task 6.1.6 require per-helper registration checks: resolve the name in both environments, evaluate pure helpers, and require the restriction diagnostic for non-pure helpers. However, the PR-added RFC §14.1 (lines 1901–1906) still requires enumerating both environments and asserting their name-set difference, and it lists only six of the sixteen disclosure gaps. This leaves the design decision unclear. The PR adds this RFC, so the defect is introduced by the pull request. The developer guide already documents the existing query boundary and Resolution Update RFC 0006 §14.1 to match §6.2 and roadmap 6.1.6. Specify the per-helper registration test and remove the name-set difference requirement.

Sorry, something went wrong.
Survey every function, filter, and test exposed by ansible-core 2.21.3 and record an explicit accept, defer, or reject disposition for each candidate against Netsuke's existing MiniJinja and stdlib surface. The RFC proposes fifty-seven new helpers across ten capability groups (structured data, mapping transforms, ordered collection algebra, regular expressions, version predicates, lexical paths, filesystem predicates, collection and truth predicates, encoding and formatting, and date/time conversion), plus three behaviour-preserving options on existing helpers. It also specifies: - a normative cross-cutting contract covering purity class, manifest-query availability, determinism, capability boundary, platform behaviour, type and error handling, resource bounds, diagnostics, and documentation; - a canonical value-equality relation so collection algebra never leaks hash-set ordering into a generated build graph; - deliberate resolutions for every naming collision with MiniJinja and the existing Netsuke surface, notably `hash` versus `text_hash`, `abs` as both a filter and a test, and `groupby` versus `group_by`; - eighteen deliberate divergences from surveyed Ansible behaviour; and - ten focused delivery slices targeted after v0.1.0 final, so no part of this work widens the hardening release defined by #594. No implementation is included, and no Ansible source is reproduced beyond the Jinja signatures recorded in the candidate matrix. Refs #596
Translate the accepted set in RFC 0006 into a capability phase with ten GIST-aligned steps, each stating the question it answers and sequencing its tasks by dependency. Phase 6 opens with a foundation step that settles the shared contract — canonical value equality, checked resource bounds, the domain-error and diagnostic-code scaffolding, the enumerated manifest-query boundary, and the maintained inventory — before the volume of helpers arrives. The remaining steps deliver structured data interchange, mapping transforms, ordered collection algebra, pattern and version predicates, lexical path composition, capability-scoped host probing, encoding and formatting, timestamp conversion, and an evidence-gated review of the deferred candidates. Two foundation tasks also repair pre-existing gaps found while surveying the stdlib: `manifest_query_operation_error` builds its message with `format!` rather than a Fluent key, and six host-observing helpers are absent from the manifest-query environment rather than failing with an explanation. Also index the new `docs/rfcs/` directory in the documentation contents and the repository layout. Refs #596
The en-GB-oxendict typos gate rejects "hand-written". Rephrase step 6.3's summary so the sentence carries the same meaning without the flagged compound. Refs #596
Commit 1d0cb16 moved help-target manifest loading behind `runner::generation::load_manifest` and documented that future dry-run and background-generation callers may reuse the same read-only pipeline. The restriction is therefore a property of the read-only manifest-query registration, not of one command. Reframe RFC 0006 §§3.2, 6.2, and 8.6 and the matching roadmap tasks accordingly, so a helper admitted to the read-only environment is understood to be admitted to every read-only caller at once. This also raises the stakes on the disclosure gap already recorded in RFC §3.3 and scheduled as roadmap task 6.1.5: helpers that vanish rather than explaining the restriction now do so for every read-only caller.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Clause 2 requires every non-pure helper to remain registered in the query environment as a failing stub, so a compliant implementation has the same registered name set in both modes. Consequently, the set difference here can never equal the non-pure helper set; this test would either reject the required stubs or fail to detect a helper registered with the wrong implementation. Compare an explicit purity/disposition inventory or exercise each registration instead.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The current omissions are broader than this list: inspection of src/stdlib/register.rs shows that the full environment also registers the file tests, which as both a filter and function, and command_available, while the query environment registers no stubs for them; now is likewise full-only. If slice 0 repairs only the helpers named here, these operations will still produce an unknown-helper error and the roadmap requirement that no full helper silently disappear remains unmet.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These laws do not hold for every specified list_merge policy. With list_merge='append', combining {'x': [1]} with itself produces {'x': [1, 1]}, so self-merge is not idempotent; with recursive merging, associativity also fails when a scalar between two sequence values causes one grouping to replace while the other appends. The required property tests therefore cannot pass for the documented surface unless the laws are limited to applicable policies or the merge semantics change.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Permuting insertion order is not a valid determinism check for these helpers: the RFC deliberately defines union and mapping transforms by first-appearance/input order, so two canonically equal mappings or sets of elements with different insertion orders may legitimately generate differently ordered output and different Ninja. The test should vary hash-map internals while holding logical input order fixed, rather than requiring output to ignore an order the public contract makes observable.

%Z conversion specifier
For formats containing %Z, the contract gives no accepted abbreviations, mapping from an abbreviation to an offset, or deterministic formatting rule for fixed offsets. This is especially problematic because the promised existing timestamp representation stores only an OffsetDateTime, which retains an offset but no time-zone name, so strftime cannot recover an abbreviation supplied during parsing. Specify a closed parse/render vocabulary—such as UTC only—or omit %Z from the accepted set.

All six review findings were verified against the current code and all six were valid; two proved worse than reported. Broaden the manifest-query disclosure gap (RFC 3.3, roadmap 6.1.5). The gap is sixteen names, not six: beyond `realpath`, `expanduser`, `size`, `linecount`, `hash`, and `digest`, the query environment also omits `which` as both filter and function, `command_available`, `now`, and all seven file tests. Repairing only the original list would have left the roadmap's own "no helper silently disappears" criterion unmet. Withdraw the `%Z` conversion specifier (RFC 8.10). `TimestampValue` wraps a `time::OffsetDateTime`, which retains a numeric offset and no zone identity, and no IANA time-zone database is depended on, so an abbreviation cannot be recovered from any timestamp. Point at `%z`. Replace the manifest-query contract test (RFC 6.2 clause 4, roadmap 6.1.6). Clause 2 keeps every non-pure helper registered as a stub, so both environments hold identical name sets and the specified set difference is always empty; the test could never detect what it claimed to. Assert each helper's disposition by exercising its registration instead. Scope the `combine` merge laws (RFC 8.2, roadmap 6.3.1). Associativity and self-merge idempotence fail under `append` and `prepend`; restrict both laws to `replace` and `keep` and record the counterexamples. Fix the determinism property test (roadmap 6.4.5). Permuting logical input order contradicts RFC 8.3, which makes first-appearance order observable. Vary hash-map internals while holding logical order fixed. Remove the self-contradiction in the phase-kind preamble (roadmap). Refs #596

Summary
Closes #596.
Surveys every function, filter, and test exposed by ansible-core 2.21.3,
records an explicit accept, defer, or reject disposition for each
candidate against Netsuke's existing MiniJinja and stdlib surface, and
specifies Netsuke-native contracts for the accepted set.
This is specification only. There is no implementation, and no Ansible source
is reproduced beyond the Jinja signatures recorded in the candidate matrix.
Nothing here lands in v0.1.0, which remains the hardening release defined by
#594.
What changed
docs/rfcs/0006-ansible-inspired-template-standard-library.md(new).docs/roadmap.md: a new Phase 6 capability track with ten GIST-alignedsteps.
docs/contents.mdanddocs/repository-layout.md: index the newdocs/rfcs/directory.RFC 0006 at a glance
Fifty-seven new helpers — forty-one filters and sixteen tests — across ten
capability groups, plus three behaviour-preserving options on existing helpers
(
basename(dialect=),dirname(dialect=),glob(files_only=)).The RFC also specifies:
manifest-query availability, determinism, capability boundary, platform
behaviour, type and error handling, resource bounds, diagnostics, and the
documentation and testing obligations;
serde_json_canonicalizerdependency, so collection algebra can never leakhash-set ordering into a generated build graph;
hashversustext_hash,absas both a filter and a test,
groupbyversusgroup_by,uniqueversusuniq,itemsversusdict2items,inversuscontains, andurlencodeversus
urldecode; andDecisions worth a reviewer's attention
These are the places where the RFC deliberately departs from what #596
suggested, each with rationale in the document:
to_nice_yamlis rejected in favour ofto_yaml(indent=4). Two namesdiffering only in a default indent is the alias thicket the RFC otherwise
refuses. Flagged as open question 1 (§16) so it can be overruled.
win_*family is rejected in favour of a uniformdialect='host'|'posix'|'windows'argument across every lexical pathhelper. The
win_*names cover three operations out of eight and cannotexpress the
posixdirection at all.versionrequires its operator explicitly. Ansible defaults it toeq, which defeats the point of an ordering predicate.zip_longestrequiresfill_value, so a silentnonecannot enter abuild graph.
regex_findall's return shape depends only on its arguments, never onhow many capture groups the pattern happens to contain.
regex_replacerejects Python-style\1replacements with adiagnostic pointing at the
$1form, as a migration guard against silentlyemitting the literal text.
path_joinrejects an absolute component after the first position.Python's reset behaviour makes
['/safe/root', '/etc/passwd']yield/etc/passwd.mountis accepted but sequenced last, with an explicitunsupported-platform error rather than a plausible
false.Open questions 2 and 3 (§16), the
abstest name and whetherversionshouldtolerate a
vprefix, are also live and are gated in the roadmap before therelevant tasks.
Pre-existing gaps surfaced by the survey
Two repairs are scheduled in roadmap tasks 6.1.5 and 6.1.6, and are recorded
in RFC §3.3:
manifest_query_operation_errorbuilds its message withformat!ratherthan a Fluent key, unlike the rest of the stdlib.
size,linecount,hash,digest,realpath, andexpanduserareabsent from the manifest-query environment rather than failing with an
explanation, so
netsuke help targetsreports "unknown filter" instead ofnaming the restriction.
RFC numbering
No RFC has been merged to
main, so the sequence is defined entirely byin-flight branches. This RFC takes 0006 and reserves 0001 to 0004 for #573
and #600, leaving 0005 free for the first renumbering out of the current
collision between #556, #566, and #600. The reservation table is in the RFC
preamble.
Review corrections
A subsequent review raised six defects. All six were verified against the
current code and all six were valid; two proved worse than reported.
realpath,expanduser,size,linecount,hash, anddigest, thequery environment also omits
which(registered as both a filter and afunction),
command_available,now, and all seven file tests. Repairingonly the original list would have left the roadmap's own "no helper
silently disappears" criterion unmet.
%Zis withdrawn.TimestampValuewraps atime::OffsetDateTime,which retains a numeric offset and no zone identity, and the project
depends on no IANA time-zone database, so an abbreviation cannot be
recovered from any timestamp. The specifier table now points at
%z.keeps every non-pure helper registered as a stub, so both environments hold
identical name sets and the specified set difference is always empty. It is
replaced by a per-helper disposition check that exercises each
registration.
combinemerge laws were overstated. Associativity and self-mergeidempotence fail under
appendandprepend; both laws are now scoped toreplaceandkeep, with the counterexamples recorded.input order is not a valid check when first-appearance order is
observable. It now varies hash-map internals while holding logical order
fixed.
Verification
Documentation-only change, so the Markdown gates are the applicable set:
make markdownlint, including the generatedtypos.tomlcheck and theen-GB-oxendict spelling pass — pass
make nixie— pass, including the slice-dependency flowchartmake check-fmt— passThe branch was rebased onto
1d0cb167andmake lint,make typecheck, andmake testwere run on the result. Fivetrybuildtests initially timed outat nextest's 300s limit under a load average of 85 from other agents on the
shared host; re-run in isolation on a quiesced machine all five pass, the
slowest at 64s. That was Cargo package-cache lock contention, not a
regression — four of the five live in files
1d0cb167never touched, and thisbranch changes no Rust.
make fmtwas run once for inspection. Itsmdformat-allstep reflowedtwenty unrelated documents and pre-existing prose outside the changed hunks,
so that reflow was reverted to keep the diff scoped.
