Intent
outcome
Execute the register check as a rules file over a Spec that cites one held, one retired and one unlisted token.
assumptions
  • The world writes a probe corpus of two story-altitude behavior Specs stating idea, each with an Intent outcome, the second declaring refines on the first, so the Protocol's validators report no finding; the first Spec's outcome names the cited tokens in prose. It writes the register file { "tokens": ["E-1", "E-2", { "token": "E-7", "retired": true }] } and runs sdp validate on the probe root with dist/recipes/50-external-registers.js named by --rules, followed by --params register=@ that file and --params holding the pattern \bE-\d+\b and uncited. The rule ids are the corpus findings' rule ids in printed order, joined by a comma and a space.
Behavior

Examples

Given a probe corpus whose Spec cites the tokens {cited: "E-1 E-7 E-9"}
Given a register file that holds {held: "E-1 E-2"} and retires {retired: "E-7"}
When the shipped external-registers file runs as a rules file with the pattern for E-numbers and uncited {uncited: false}
Then the command exits {exitCode: 1}
Then the corpus findings carry the rule ids {ruleIds: "retired-token, unknown-token"}
