Mihaela Mihaljevic 5aeb2aca4c docs: production-readiness standard, read every conformance iteration
The bar for shipping PureXML in an IDE: correctness total and characterized,
false positives at zero, not "passes the suite." Four stoppers (reject no valid
input; accept no faulty input; characterize correctness via differential + fuzz,
no silent under-rejection debt; interactive safety: bounded resources, located
recoverable errors) plus a per-iteration checklist and definition of done.

Wired into the per-iteration protocol (schema-validity-burndown.md) and the
session Read First list (CLAUDE.md) so it is read every iteration.

Guidance for coding agents working in PureXML.

Project

PureXML is a pure-Swift XML parser/emitter package. It is a root Swift package, not a monorepo package under Packages/.

Non-negotiables:

  • no external SwiftPM dependencies
  • no C, C++, Objective-C, JavaScript, or generated parser runtime in the public package
  • public API under the PureXML namespace tree
  • macOS, Linux, and WASI build compatibility
  • tests for parser and emitter behavior

Read First

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/rules/code-style.md
  • docs/rules/namespacing.md
  • docs/rules/cross-platform.md
  • docs/rules/testing.md
  • docs/rules/verification.md
  • docs/production-readiness.md (the bar for shipping this in an IDE; read every conformance iteration)

Confirm rule loading with rules-loaded.
