LogLine engine

Rust workspace that implements the LogLine canon. Ten crates: nine slot crates (who, did, this, when, confirmed_by, if_ok, if_doubt, if_not, status) plus one shell (logline-cli).

canon defines.
conformance proves.
engine implements.
governance evolves.

This repository does not:

• define the canon (see LogLine-Foundation/canon)
• own conformance (see LogLine-Foundation/conformance)
• govern LIPs (see LogLine-Foundation/governance)

Workspace layout

crates/
who/ — origin slot
did/ — action slot
this/ — subject slot
when/ — time slot
confirmed_by/ — confirmation slot
if_ok/ — happy path slot
if_doubt/ — doubt branch slot
if_not/ — refusal slot
status/ — lifecycle status slot
logline-cli/ — `logline` binary, the shell
docs/ — engine-specific documentation
scripts/ — release helpers
examples/ — usage examples (not vector fixtures — those live in conformance)

Build

cargo build --release
cargo test

The resulting binary is target/release/logline. Downstream systems point LOGLINE_RUNTIME_BIN at this path.

Conformance

This engine claims adherence to:

• logline.receipt.v0 (current normative receipt format)
• logline.canon.v0 (language grammar and lifecycle)

Adherence is proved by running the conformance suite from LogLine-Foundation/conformance against this engine's binary. Conformance is not declared by this repo — it is claimed, then proved externally.

Discipline

• Runtime is not sovereign: it implements admissible behavior, it does not define it.
• Natural language never executes — only nine-slot LogLine acts cross the runtime boundary.
• Receipts beat stories — every executable claim must produce a verifiable receipt under the canon.
• LABs (the downstream machines that consume this engine) execute; they do not govern.
