Section 04 — config-variable-rendering

Goal

Replace token-level regex substitution with a closed config-variable set rendered fail-loud (fixes root cause A: unbounded implicit token maintenance).

Implementation Sketch

config_schema.json declares a CLOSED variable set (HARNESS.{TEST_ALL,LINT,FMT,BUILD,FULL_CHECK}, REPO.{SRC_ROOT,LANG}, PROJECT.ORG_REPO); a per-target harness.config.json supplies values. render.py HARD-FAILS on any undefined marker with file+marker location — converting every silent literal-leak into a loud, located error. Adapted artifacts migrate literals->markers incrementally; regex maps retire as each token class is covered, render-fail-loud as the net.

Spec References

missions.md §Tooling (tool hides a problem = tool is wrong); design-log §5 regressions (the bare-form / ORI_* token-coverage gaps this eliminates).

Work Items

  • config_schema.json: declare the closed variable set (HARNESS.{TEST_ALL,LINT,FMT,BUILD,FULL_CHECK}, REPO.{SRC_ROOT,LANG}, PROJECT.ORG_REPO); adding a variable is a deliberate schema bump.
  • render.py: interpolate adapted artifacts from the per-target harness.config.json; HARD-FAIL on any undefined marker, naming the file and the marker.
  • Migrate adapted artifacts literals->markers; retire the regex substitution maps in defaults/*.json as each token class is covered.
  • pytest: an undefined marker fails loud with location; covered markers render correctly; a deliberately-injected unclassified file AND undefined marker both fail loud.
