Trust engine

Overview

src/bundle.ts and src/trust.ts together compute every trust label that references/trust-fields.md (the ktl-curator skill) defines. They are pure functions with no Obsidian dependency and no Date.now(). today is always a parameter, so every date-dependent label is reproducible under plain Node (scripts/smoke-test.ts).

• bundle.ts is carried over from the sibling ktl-registrar plugin. It holds bundle-root resolution (normalizeBundleRoots, resolveBundleRoot), the frontmatter split, relation-target resolution, and the class check (classify). The class check runs against the pinned manifest’s fifteen classes (KNOWN_LOKF_TYPES, Role included), or, since 2026-09-14, against whatever list is handed in from the settings tab’s Known LOKF types. HARDCODED_LOKF_TYPES keeps the pre-schema fourteen for the settings refresh rule. SCHEMA_VERSION exposes the manifest’s version.
• In trust.ts, buildTrustRecord turns one concept’s frontmatter and heading list into a TrustRecord. Its TrustInputs may carry knownTypes, which classify receives. A concept reads as unchecked when its verified holds no events, so verified: [] and a bare verified: count as nobody has checked. It reads as checked by automation only when its events hold none by a human: actor.
• computeReliedOnBy does the second pass over every concept’s relation fields plus relations[].target, to fill in “N other concepts rely on this”. The relation fields are RELATION_FIELDS in bundle.ts: the fourteen slots the pinned schema ranges over Concept, read from the manifest, with HARDCODED_RELATION_FIELDS as the fallback. Each relying concept counts once. A retired concept counts for none and is counted for none, the rule knowledge-report.sh applies.
• computeHealth produces the seven counts, which overlap rather than partition.
• rankQueue orders the queue by the skill’s four ranking groups, then by reliance count, then by newest generated.at. The class check never enters the ranking.
• parseCurationPolicyTable(body, knownTypes) honours a policies/knowledge-curation.md row only for a class in the list it is given, so a listed domain class can carry an interval of its own. monthsForClass falls back to 12 months for a class no group or row names. That table is prose a person writes, so since 2026-09-14 the match ignores spaces and English plurals (policyRowForms): “Glossary terms” binds GlossaryTerm, “people” binds Person. Before that the match was literal, and it silently ignored four rows of the plugin’s own template, whose intervals happened to coincide with the settings defaults.
