02 · Behavior

What the mounted story proves

  1. 01

    ObjectInspector

    Representative 120×40 terminal state.

  2. 02

    Passive paint

    No keyboard or pointer action is claimed by this representative story.

  3. 03

    Evidence stays explicit

    3 covered · 9 partial · 5 missing axes.

03 · Implement

Install, then start from exact code

Install

cargo add termrock --git https://github.com/tailrocks/termrock.git --rev 5283c2acf9154d0cfcd37b1ffe821c00faf90ea2

Add TermRock once. Keep domain effects in the host application.

Advanced guidance

Authored implementation guidance

Purpose. Inspect structured trees without loading the entire document into the paint path. Host projects a flattened visible node list; state owns cursor, expansion-by-path, search, and secret reveal.

When to use

JSON / YAML / TOML trees—
Structured log objects—
Rust debug / tool payloads—

Single-column hierarchy onlyTree

Safety

  • Values pass through escape_inspect_value (control chars → \n / \u{…}).
  • Secrets paint redacted until r reveal; copy still uses host-provided plaintext.
Ownership boundary

TermRock owns reusable terminal rendering and interaction state. The host owns domain data, policy, persistence, authorization, and side effects.

Evidence status

3 covered, 9 partial, and 5 missing contract axes. Missing evidence is not a behavior claim.
