 ## Tour of the codebase

+We start at `defs.bzl`, which invokes the resolver.
 
 The resolver:
-* `config.rs`: Deserializes the Config
-* `parser.rs`: Parses the Config, any `Cargo.toml` files, and any additional packages, into a single unified `Cargo.toml` file
-* `resolver.rs`: Resolves all of the crates.
-* `consolidator.rs`: Patches in any WORKSPACE-specified overrides, and deals with platform-specific concerns.
-* `renderer.rs`: Generates BUILD files for each crate, as well as functions that can be called from BUILD files.

 The code started off as a very hacky Week of Code project, and there are some clear remnants of that in the codebase - nothing is sacred, feel free to improve anything!

 ## How to test local changes
 
 To use a local version, first build it:
+
 ```console
-resolver $ cargo build
+crate_universe $ cargo build
 ```
 
 Then run a bazel build with this environment variable:
+
 ```console
 RULES_RUST_RESOLVER_URL_OVERRIDE=file:///path/to/resolver/target/debug/resolver bazel build //whatever
 ```
 
-To get verbose logging, edit `workspace.bzl` to set `RUST_LOG` to `debug` or `trace` instead of `info`. In particular, that will print out the generated Cargo.toml, and the path to the generated workspace file.

 Note that you may need to `bazel shutdown` between bazel commands. Hopefully not, but if you're seeing stale results, try it out. This only affects local development.
