build: add libxmlsec capability ledger - #111
Conversation
- Generate a pinned libxmlsec1 1.3.13 public-surface inventory - Classify every item with rationale and deterministic evidence - Enforce donor drift, schema completeness, and regeneration in CI Closes #110
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe PR adds a Rust capability-ledger generator and checker for pinned libxmlsec1 1.3.13 sources. It adds machine-readable rules, committed-ledger tests, documentation, workspace wiring, and CI checks for donor or ledger drift. ChangesCapability ledger
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The generator may produce malformed declaration details and silently omit some public compiler defines, leaving the capability ledger incomplete or inaccurate; merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

In `@docs/compatibility-ledger.md`:
- Around line 18-25: Update the Outcome meanings table in
compatibility-ledger.md to document the missing exact and source-compatible
outcomes defined by Outcome and accepted by tests/capability_ledger.rs. Add
clear rows for both values, or explicitly mark them as reserved and currently
unused, so every accepted outcome has documented behavior.
- Around line 35-51: Update both documented xml-sec capability-ledger commands
to use .donors/xmlsec instead of donors/xmlsec, and add a .donors/ ignore entry
alongside the existing donors/ rule so the CI checkout path is ignored.
In `@tests/capability_ledger.rs`:
- Around line 148-151: Extend the evidence validation in the capability ledger
test to build a set of referenced evidence identifiers and assert every ledger
evidence entry is included, then collect the actual test names defined in this
file and assert each evidence.test matches one of them. Preserve the existing
prefix and non-empty description checks while updating the loop around
ledger.evidence.
In `@tools/capability-ledger/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 9-10: The pinned donor commit is duplicated across
EXPECTED_COMMIT, the CI workflow, the capability-ledger test, and compatibility
documentation. Introduce one canonical donor-revision source, update the tool
and test to read or derive EXPECTED_COMMIT from it, and make the workflow
consume the same value while keeping documentation synchronized with that
source.
- Around line 223-242: Update the header parsing loop around in_headers so the
inc_HEADERS assignment remains active only across lines that continue with a
trailing backslash. Clear in_headers when the continuation is absent, while
preserving existing $(NULL) termination and header capture behavior; do not
collect later .h tokens from unrelated entries or comments.
- Around line 480-494: Update the exit-status entries in the ledger generator
around the visible item calls to validate the corresponding lines in donor
content before recording line numbers. Assert or locate the expected success,
unknown-command, and failure text using the available content, and fail
generation when a line no longer matches so shifted donor evidence cannot pass
silently.
- Around line 517-525: Update the loop that records the test-family entries to
verify each script exists in the donor input before calling item; only append
entries for present runner scripts, and otherwise fail closed consistently with
the other extractors. Use the existing input/path validation mechanism rather
than adding a separate hardcoded check.
- Around line 439-462: Update resolve_c_string_expression to verify that regex
matches cover the entire expression, rejecting any unmatched text—including
lowercase or otherwise unrecognized tokens—before returning a resolved value.
Preserve existing macro lookup errors and empty-expression validation, and only
return the assembled string when the full expression consists of valid quoted
literals and resolvable macro names.
- Around line 641-651: Update exported_name to identify the outer declarator
rather than selecting the last identifier followed by “(”, avoiding incorrect
names such as int or XMLSEC_API for function-pointer parameters and trailing
macros. Add regression tests covering both cases and preserve correct extraction
for ordinary function and variable declarations.

Make normalize ignore C comments and reject unterminated literals. normalize currently receives raw declarations. The committed ledger contains 8 details with newlines and 5 details with unbalanced delimiters because apostrophes in comments can open a quote.

When running cargo test --no-default-features --features xmlenc, this cfg enables the test and helper even though they import xml_sec::xmldsig, which src/lib.rs exposes only with the independent xmldsig feature, so this supported feature combination fails to compile. The new evidence after the prior default-feature finding is that the added guard checks only xmlenc; gate the test on both features or declare the integration test's required features.

When an XPath or XPath Filter 2.0 expression uses here(), the default Rust behavior selects the containing <XPath> element, while TransformOptions::XmlSecLegacy is required to reproduce libxmlsec1's selection of the owning <Transform> element; the source explicitly notes that these choices can select different data. Classifying both xmlSecXPathNs and xmlSecXPath2Ns unconditionally as behavior-compatible therefore hides a compatibility setting that can change signature validation, so record the opt-in requirement or classify these entries separately.
