//! What the agent is told: the short connect text every session starts //! with, and the handbook it points to (`books.handbook`, //! `books://handbook`), compiled in from `handbook/*.md`. //! //! ```text //! GOAL: the rules reach the agent whole, even through a client that cuts //! the server's instructions short, and no text sends it to the //! books' files. //! SOURCE: DECISION (owner, 2026-10-16; plan/served.md I-12 and 4.1, //! 4.3): connect text at most 1,400 characters whose first 512 //! stand alone and name the entry point; the long guidance lives //! in the handbook, by section. //! INVARIANTS: //! 1. The connect text is at most CONNECT_MAX characters, and its first //! paragraph is at most CONNECT_LEAD characters and names //! books.handbook. //! 2. The connect text and every handbook section state the receipt //! rule in force (from the settings, in the books' base currency: //! ReceiptPolicy::rule), never a fixed one; the connect text states //! the parties rule in force too. //! 3. No connect text or handbook section names a filesystem path, a //! helper command, a pull request, or where the books are; none //! names the settings file, which is the one books.settings names. //! 4. The connect text's first paragraph stands alone: the entry //! point, the local-files rule, decimal strings, and the entry flow. //! 5. The company's name is shown as one line of plain text (no //! control or format characters, no line breaks), cut on a //! character; a company with no name (empty, or the settings' //! default name) is "a new company" (plan/served.md 4.1). //! ``` use crate::settings::Settings; /// The most characters the connect text may have. pub const CONNECT_MAX: usize = 1400; /// The most characters of the connect text's first paragraph: what a /// client that keeps only the start still delivers. pub const CONNECT_LEAD: usize = 512; /// The handbook's sections, in reading order: (id, markdown).
