Shapes

Shapes

Zinc reads Circuitry shape files and uses Circuitry to confirm variable flow.

What Zinc uses

Circuitry gives Zinc enough facts to run each action:

• visible inputs declared by the shape
• action parts inside uses
• local input names for each action
• instructions in does
• local output names and visible variables in gives
• generic host fields such as software or model

Stored bytes

For each package action, Zinc stores:

• the selected context sent to package software
• the package output bytes
• the lineage node that connects them

Boundary

Circuitry confirms shaped YAML. Zinc uses those facts to build package context and record lineage. Packages decide what the context means.
