# 📘 `grel-rs` Technical Design Document (v3.0)
**Binary:** `grel` | **Repository:** `grel-rs`
**Target Platforms:** Linux, Windows (macOS optional)
**Core Philosophy:** Pure CLI, deterministic asset resolution, pacman/Artix-familiar UX, explicit over implicit, robust upgrade edge-case handling.
---
## 1. Overview & Goals
`grel` (Global/General Release) is a terminal-native, high-performance package manager for downloading and managing binary releases from Git forges. It abstracts provider-specific APIs into a unified resolution pipeline, supports HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies, caches optimal DNS endpoints, downloads assets in parallel, and delivers a transparent, scriptable, pacman-compatible UX.
**Key Requirements Met:**
- ✅ Pure CLI (no TUI/GUI), standard `std::io` prompts
-Deterministic asset resolution: **filter → sort → explicit prompt** (zero scoring magic)
-Robust parsing of non-standard release names via `Os`/`Arch` enums + alias mapping
-Format control: `.deb`/`.rpm`/`.msi`/`.dmg` disabled by default
-Pacman/Artix-style numbered selection with `[default]`, TTY/CI fallback, `-y`/`--noconfirm`
-`-Syu` resilience: detects filename renames, handles repo 404s via orphan tracking, explicit migration path
-Cross-platform PATH integration (`grel path add`), XDG-compliant, no `sudo`
-Forge-agnostic provider routing (public + self-hosted URLs)

---
## 3. CLI Specification & Pure UX
No TUI frameworks. All interaction uses standard terminal I/O with predictable, pipe-safe behavior.
### Commands & Aliases
| Command | Aliases | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| `grel sync foo/bar` | `S`, `-S` | Download & install latest |
| `grel sync foo/bar@1.2.3` | `-S` | Pin version |
| `grel search keyword` | `Ss`, `-Ss` | Search across registered forges |
| `grel upgrade` | `Syu`, `-Syu` | Refresh + upgrade installed |
| `grel info foo/bar` | `Si`, `-Si` | Show release metadata |
| `grel list` | `Q`, `-Q` | List installed packages (shows status) |
| `grel remove foo/bar` | `R`, `-R` | Uninstall & clean DB |
| `grel clean` | `Sc`, `-Sc` | Purge artifact/metadata cache |
| `grel path add` | - | Generate shell/registry snippets for `$PATH` |
| `grel migrate old/path new/path` | - | Remap repo path in state DB |
### Pure CLI Prompt (Artix/Pacman Compatible)
```
:: 3 compatible asset(s) found for linux/x86_64
1) foo-1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz | 12.4 MB | tar.gz (default)
2) foo-1.0.0-linux-x86_64-musl.tar.gz | 10.2 MB | tar.gz
3) foo-1.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz | 11.8 MB | tar.gz
:: Select asset to download [1]: _
```
- Accepts `1``3` or `Enter` (selects `[1]`)
- Invalid input → `:: Invalid selection. Enter a number [1-3]: `
- `--noconfirm` / `-y` → skips prompt, selects `[1]`
- **Non-Interactive Fallback:** `!std::io::stdin().is_terminal()` → auto-selects `[1]`, prints ` Non-interactive mode. Using: <filename>` to `stderr`, never blocks CI/pipes.
---
## 4. Asset Resolution Pipeline (Deterministic)
**No scoring. No fuzzy logic.** Strict filtering → transparent sorting → explicit selection.
### Step 1: Tokenization
Filenames are split on non-alphanumeric characters. Tokens are matched against case-insensitive alias maps for `Os` and `Arch`.
```rust
// foo-v1.2.3-win64-setup.exe → Os::Windows, Arch::X86_64
// bar_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz → Os::Linux, Arch::X86_64
// app.Darwin.arm64.zip → Os::MacOS, Arch::Aarch64
```
Unknown tokens fall back to `Os::Unknown("...")` or `Arch::Unknown("...")` → never crash, just filter out later.
### Step 2: Strict Filtering
Assets are filtered in fixed order. Failure at any step → discard.
```rust
1. OS matches target OR is Unknown
2. Arch matches priority list OR fallback allowed (32-bit on 64-bit)
3. Format NOT in `ignore_formats` (deb/rpm/msi/dmg disabled by default)
```
### Step 3: Deterministic Sorting
Remaining assets sorted by explicit cascade:
1. `arch_priority` index (lower = better)
2. `prefer_formats` index
3. Lexicographic filename
4. Size descending (tie-breaker)
### Step 4: Selection
- `0` assets → `❌ No compatible assets. Run grel sync --list-assets`
- `1` asset → Auto-select, log ` Selected: <filename>`
- `>1` assets → Pure CLI numbered prompt (see §3)
---
## 5. Platform Enums & Alias Mapping
Strongly-typed, exhaustive, infallible parsing.
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Os { Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD, Android, iOS, Unknown(String) }
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Arch { X86_64, Aarch64, I686, ArmV7, ArmV6, Riscv64, S390x, PowerPC64, Unknown(String) }
```
- `FromStr` implemented with `to_lowercase()` + alias table
- `serde` ready for TOML config
- `Display` outputs canonical names for DB/CLI consistency
---
## 6. Configuration vs State Management
**Strict separation.** Humans edit TOML. Machines manage SQLite.
### `~/.config/grel/config.toml`
```toml
[general]
version = 1
max_concurrent = 4
proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
[assets]
ignore_formats = ["*.deb", "*.rpm", "*.msi", "*.dmg", "*.pkg", "*.AppImage"]
prefer_formats = ["*.tar.gz", "*.tar.xz", "*.zip", "*.exe"]
arch_priority = ["x86_64", "aarch64", "x86", "armv7"]
fallback_to_32bit = true
prefer_musl = false
[migrations]
"legacy/old-tool" = "new-org/old-tool"
[upgrade]
check_interval_hours = 6
max_parallel_checks = 10
```
### `state.sqlite` Schema (`installed` table)
```sql
CREATE TABLE installed (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
forge TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'github', 'gitlab', or self-hosted base URL
owner TEXT NOT NULL,
repo TEXT NOT NULL,
version TEXT NOT NULL, -- Strict semver
asset_filename TEXT NOT NULL, -- Exact remote filename used
checksum TEXT,
install_path TEXT NOT NULL,
status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'active' CHECK (status IN ('active', 'orphaned', 'migrated')),
orphaned_at INTEGER, -- Unix timestamp when marked unreachable
last_checked INTEGER, -- For smart polling intervals
installed_at INTEGER DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now'))
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_pkg_unique ON installed(forge, owner, repo);
CREATE INDEX idx_status ON installed(status);
```
---
## 7. `-Syu` Upgrade Logic & Edge Cases
### 7.1 Filename Change Detection
Authors often rename assets (`x86_64``amd64`, `.tar.gz``.tar.xz`).
1. Load stored `asset_filename` from DB
2. Resolve new release → filter → sort → get `new_best`
3. If `new_best.filename != stored.filename`:
```
⚠️ Remote asset renamed: old-name.tar.gz → new-name.tar.xz
Proceeding with update...
```
4. Download → verify → extract → **update DB record** with new filename. Proceeds safely.
### 7.2 Repository Rename / 404 Handling
1. Provider fetch → `404` or unreachable
2. Mark `status = 'orphaned'`, set `orphaned_at = now()`
3. Skip in future `-Syu` runs
4. Warn user:
```
⚠️ Package unreachable: foo/bar (HTTP 404)
Skipped. Run `grel migrate foo/bar new/path` or `grel remove foo/bar`
```
5. **No auto-migration.** Explicit user action required.
### 7.3 Orphaned Visibility
```bash
$ grel list
:: Installed packages (3 active, 1 orphaned)
🟢 bar/fuzz 1.2.3 linux/x86_64 tar.gz
🟢 foo/tool 0.9.1 windows/amd64 exe
🟡 legacy/old-proj 2.0.0 linux/x86_64 tar.gz [orphaned since 2024-05-01]
```
---
## 8. Networking, Proxy & DNS/IP Caching
- **Proxy Priority:** `--proxy` > `GREL_PROXY` env > `http_proxy`/`all_proxy` > `config.toml`
- **DNS/IP Cache:**
1. Resolve `A/AAAA` via `hickory-resolver`
2. Parallel `TcpStream::connect` probes on `443`
3. Store fastest IP + RTT in SQLite with `300s` TTL
4. `reqwest::ClientBuilder::resolve(host, ip)` forces routing
- **Background Refresh:** Idle task pre-warms hot domains, evicts stale entries
---
## 9. Rate Limiting & ETag Optimization
GitHub: 60/hr unauth, 5000/hr auth. `grel` handles gracefully:
1. **ETag Caching:** `If-None-Match` → `304 Not Modified` **free**. Cached in DB.
2. **Smart Polling:** Only checks packages where `last_checked < now() - check_interval_hours`
3. **Rate Limit Parsing:** Reads `X-RateLimit-Remaining`/`Reset`. If `< 50` → sleep/queue.
4. **Auth Prompt:** First run suggests `GREL_GITHUB_TOKEN` for 5000/hr.
5. **`--no-api` Fallback:** Skips remote checks, uses local timestamps only.
---
## 10. PATH Integration & Post-Install
- Installs to `~/.local/share/grel/bin/` (Linux) / `%LOCALAPPDATA%\grel\bin\` (Windows)
- `grel path add` prints exact shell/registry snippets:
```bash
export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/grel/bin:$PATH"
```
```powershell
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\grel\bin;$env:Path", "User")
```
- First run: `💡 Run: grel path add to enable global command access`
- XDG-compliant, no `sudo`, no system conflicts.
---
## 11. Security & Reliability
- ✅ TLS: `rustls` only (no native OpenSSL)
- ✅ Checksums: `sha256` verification before extraction
- ✅ Archive safety: Reject `..`, absolute paths, external symlinks
- ✅ Atomic installs: Temp dir → verify → `rename` → DB update
- ✅ No auto-exec: Binaries installed but not run unless invoked
- ✅ Graceful degradation: Network errors → retry/backoff, rate limits → sleep/queue, missing assets → clear error + suggestions
---

thiserror = "2"
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", features = ["env-filter", "fmt"] }
```
---
## 13. Testing & CI Strategy
- **Unit:** Token extraction from 20+ messy filenames, filter/sort determinism, config parsing, migration logic
- **Mocked Providers:** `wiremock` for 200/304/403/429/500, rate limit header injection
- **Integration:** Download fixtures → extract → verify checksums & paths, `grel migrate` DB state changes
- **Non-Interactive:** `echo "" | grel sync foo/bar` must not hang, must log to stderr
- **Cross-Platform CI:** `ubuntu-latest`, `windows-latest` (GitHub Actions)
- **Performance:** `criterion` for DNS/IP cache + parallel download throughput
- **Fuzzing:** `cargo-fuzz` on `AssetTokens::from_filename()` + archive path validation

## 1. Overview & Goals
`grel` is a terminal-native, high-performance release downloader and package manager for Git forges. It abstracts provider APIs into a unified pipeline, supports proxies, caches DNS/IPs for CDN routing, downloads in parallel, and delivers a transparent, scriptable, pacman-compatible UX.
**Key Requirements Met:**

-Deterministic resolution: **strict filters → priority sorting → explicit policy fallback** (zero scoring)
-`exclude_keywords` config to block installer/setup/bundle artifacts
-Warning system for unmanaged or extra-step packages (applies to `ignore_formats` overrides & keyword matches)
-Configurable `download_dir` for unmanaged packages (defaults to OS `Downloads/`)
-`default_selection_policy` (`first` | `largest`) as explicit fallback, overridden by detailed flags
-`-Syu` resilience: filename rename detection, orphan tracking, explicit migration
- ✅ Cross-platform PATH integration, XDG-compliant, no `sudo`

---
## 3. CLI Specification & Warning Flow
All interaction uses standard terminal I/O. Unmanaged packages trigger explicit warnings & confirmation.
### Warning & Confirmation Flow
When an asset matches `exclude_keywords` or falls under an overridden `ignore_formats`:
```
⚠️ Asset "foo-setup-1.0.0.exe" matches excluded keyword "setup".
grel cannot manage installers directly. Package will download to ~/Downloads/.
:: Proceed with download? [y/N]: _
```
- `y`/`Enter` → Downloads to `download_dir`, marks `is_managed = false` in DB
- `N`/`n`/`Esc` → Aborts sync for this package, continues with others
- `--noconfirm` / `-y` → Auto-accepts, prints ` Non-interactive: accepted unmanaged asset` to `stderr`
- **Never blocks CI/pipes:** `!std::io::stdin().is_terminal()` → auto-accepts, logs to `stderr`
---
## 4. Asset Resolution Pipeline (Deterministic)
**No scoring. No fuzzy logic.** Strict filtering → transparent priority → policy fallback.
### Precedence Rules (Strict → Override → Fallback)
| Priority | Mechanism | Override Capability |
|----------|-----------|---------------------|
| 1⃣ | OS/Arch exact match or `Unknown` | None |
| 2⃣ | `exclude_keywords` filter | None (hard block unless CLI `--allow-keyword`) |
| 3⃣ | `ignore_formats` filter | Overridable via CLI/config |
| 4⃣ | `arch_priority` index | Overrides `default_selection_policy` |
| 5⃣ | `prefer_formats` index | Overrides `default_selection_policy` |
| 6⃣ | `default_selection_policy` | **Only applies to remaining ties** |
### Step 1: Strict Filtering
```rust
assets.iter()
.map(|a| AssetTokens::from_filename(&a.filename))
.filter(|t| t.os == target.os || t.os == Os::Unknown)
.filter(|t| !keyword_excluded(t, &config.exclude_keywords))
.filter(|t| arch_matches_priority(t, &config.arch_priority, config.fallback_to_32bit))
.filter(|t| !format_ignored(t, &config.ignore_formats))
.collect()
```
### Step 2: Deterministic Sorting
Sorted by explicit cascade:
1. `arch_priority` index
2. `prefer_formats` index
3. Lexicographic filename
4. Size descending
### Step 3: Policy Fallback (`default_selection_policy`)
Only applied if `>1` asset survives sorting and remains tied.
- `first` → picks top of sorted list
- `largest` → picks by `size_bytes` descending
- **Never overrides** arch/format priority or keyword filters.
### Step 4: Selection & Warning
- `0``❌ No compatible assets`
- `1` → Check if unmanaged → warn/confirm → auto-select or prompt
- `>1` → Pure CLI numbered prompt → warn/confirm if unmanaged
---
## 5. Platform Enums & Alias Mapping
Strongly-typed, exhaustive, infallible parsing.
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Os { Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD, Android, iOS, Unknown(String) }
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Arch { X86_64, Aarch64, I686, ArmV7, ArmV6, Riscv64, S390x, PowerPC64, Unknown(String) }
```
- `FromStr` implemented with `to_lowercase()` + alias table
- `serde` ready for TOML config
- `Display` outputs canonical names for DB/CLI consistency
---
## 6. Configuration Structure (Updated)
Strict separation of human-editable TOML and machine-managed SQLite.
```toml
# ~/.config/grel/config.toml
[general]
version = 1
max_concurrent = 4
proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
[assets]
default_selection_policy = "largest" # first | largest (tiebreaker only)
exclude_keywords = ["setup", "installer", "portable", "bundle", "nupkg"]
ignore_formats = ["*.deb", "*.rpm", "*.msi", "*.dmg", "*.pkg", "*.AppImage"]
prefer_formats = ["*.tar.gz", "*.tar.xz", "*.zip", "*.exe"]
arch_priority = ["x86_64", "aarch64", "x86", "armv7"]
fallback_to_32bit = true
prefer_musl = false
[paths]
install_root = "~/.local/share/grel"
bin_dir = "~/.local/share/grel/bin"
download_dir = "~/Downloads" # Fallback for unmanaged/extra-op packages
[upgrade]
check_interval_hours = 6
max_parallel_checks = 10
[migrations]
"legacy/old-tool" = "new-org/old-tool"
```
---
## 7. State Database Schema (`state.sqlite`)
```sql
CREATE TABLE installed (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
forge TEXT NOT NULL,
owner TEXT NOT NULL,
repo TEXT NOT NULL,
version TEXT NOT NULL,
asset_filename TEXT NOT NULL,
checksum TEXT,
install_path TEXT NOT NULL, -- Actual path (bin/ or download_dir)
is_managed BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'active' CHECK (status IN ('active', 'orphaned', 'migrated')),
orphaned_at INTEGER,
last_checked INTEGER,
installed_at INTEGER DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now'))
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_pkg_unique ON installed(forge, owner, repo);
CREATE INDEX idx_status ON installed(status);
```
- `is_managed`: `true` = auto-extracted/linked to `bin/`; `false` = left in `download_dir`
- `install_path`: Stores actual destination for accurate cleanup/migration
---
## 8. Download Path & Installation Behavior
| Asset Type | Destination | Management |
|------------|-------------|------------|
| Standard binary/archive (`.tar.gz`, `.zip`, `.exe`) | `bin_dir/` (Linux) / `bin\` (Win) | ✅ Managed (extracted, checksummed, linked) |
| Unmanaged/Extra-op (`.msi`, `.deb`, matched keywords) | `download_dir` (default: `~/Downloads`) | ⚠️ Download-only, no extraction/execution |
| CLI Override (`--output-dir ~/tmp`) | User-specified path | ✅ Respected regardless of type |
**Cross-Platform Default Resolution:**
```rust
fn default_download_dir() -> PathBuf {
directories::UserDirs::new()
.map(|d| d.download_dir().clone())
.unwrap_or_else(|| std::env::temp_dir().join("grel-downloads"))
}
```

## 15. Testing & CI Strategy
- **Unit:** Keyword exclusion, policy fallback precedence, filter/sort determinism, config parsing
- **Mocked Providers:** `wiremock` for 200/304/403/429/500, rate limit headers
- **Integration:** Unmanaged package download → `download_dir` verification, `grel migrate` state changes
- **Non-Interactive:** `echo "" | grel sync foo/bar` must auto-accept with stderr warning
- **Cross-Platform CI:** `ubuntu-latest`, `windows-latest`
- **Performance:** `criterion` for DNS/IP cache + parallel download throughput
- **Fuzzing:** `cargo-fuzz` on `AssetTokens::from_filename()` + archive path validation
