Shapes

Shapes

Zinc stores raw shape bytes and uses Circuitry to confirm shape facts.

Stored bytes

A run stores:

• shape file bytes as request bytes
• package result bytes as result bytes
• fragment identity for that exact work

Confirmed facts

Circuitry can confirm:

• format field
• required shape fields
• visible values requested by the shape
• visible values produced by the shape
• local values used by each action-part
• unresolved references
• duplicate producers
• cycles in the value flow

Boundary note

Circuitry confirms shaped YAML. Zinc stores exact bytes and uses shape facts to build package requests.
