Initial Release

[jamrce]

• rdl-tools init — configure a module checkout taken from rdl-module-template: derive every .env value it can from the .ttl on disk, prompt only for what RDF cannot supply, activate CI and finish local setup. Refuses a folder that is not a module checkout.
• Import classification by content: sh:NodeShape makes a file shapes and it is renamed *.shacl.ttl, owl:Ontology makes it an ontology source, and a file asserting neither is named on stderr and refused with exit 2.
• Multi-version import through init --from <dir> and pins already under website/static/: one immutable pin per version, with a chained owl:priorVersion and a drafted changelog. spec/{module}.ttl is written from the highest version's own graph. Two files resolving to one version are refused by name.
• A spec/ filename rule enforced by every command that reads it: {module}.ttl is ontology source, {module}.shacl.ttl is shapes, {module}.generated.ttl is the provenance ledger, and any other compound-suffix Turtle is refused with exit 2.
• rdl-tools validate — parse spec/, refuse shapes declared outside a *.shacl.ttl file, and run SHACL validation.
• rdl-tools format — canonicalise the ontology Turtle in spec/. Shapes and the generated ledger are left alone unless named with --ontology. --check reports without writing.
• rdl-tools render-docs — write the immutable website/static/v{version}/ont/ artifact tree in four serialisations.
• rdl-tools render-site-data — generate the JSON, MDX and CSS the Docusaurus site renders.
• rdl-tools expand-pins — rebuild the derived serialisations and the v0/ copy from committed Turtle.
• rdl-tools fetch-fonts — re-download the self-hosted Barlow set. Maintainer-only, and the only subcommand that opens a socket.
• --version on the CLI, and python -m rdl_tools wherever the console script is not on PATH.
• Inline type information (py.typed), checked under mypy --strict. Requires Python 3.13 or later; tested on 3.13 and 3.14.
