# ConfigKit Integration
Notarius uses the public root package
[`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit`](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit)
at v0.3.0 for version 5 configuration acquisition, imports, profiles, explicit
overrides, diagnostics, and safe inspection rendering.
Notarius owns the typed document, domain defaults and validation, runtime
conversion, catalog-dependent pipeline resolution, source-aware configured
paths, and command discovery. It uses only ConfigKit's public path, result,
diagnostic, and resolution-source APIs. Upstream documentation owns general
ConfigKit semantics; [Configuration](../config.md) owns Notarius's file and
operator contract.

## Loading And Validation
The CLI loads configuration in this order:
1. parse the selected YAML file strictly into the file model;
2. start from **Default**;
3. apply the file model; and
4. apply the supported environment overrides.
This establishes the public precedence order without giving environment input a
second file schema. Loading and application reject malformed YAML, unsupported
file versions, unknown fields, invalid values, and identifiers that are empty
or collide after whitespace normalization. The file application also makes the
effective extraction-worker default follow the effective LLM limit. A present
PromptKit local-backend object requires and trims its endpoint, defaults its
omitted concurrency limit to zero, and is copied so the parsed file model
cannot alias the populated **Config**. A pipeline `llm_profile` is
presence-aware: omission remains empty, while a present blank value is
rejected and a non-empty file value is trimmed before it reaches **Config**.
ConfigKit acquires the selected root, imports, optional selected profile, and
explicit CLI overrides in precedence order. Its document definition supplies
typed defaults, source-aware path normalization, and structural validation
before conversion to the independently owned runtime **Config**. Only
`NOTARIUS_CONFIG` participates in discovery; retired field-level environment
variables do not participate in loading. Version 5 decoding rejects scalar
module bindings and scalar external references. ConfigKit retains redacted,
historical inspection metadata while **LoadedConfig** keeps that implementation
detail private behind effective and explanation writers.

Configuration summaries must use **Redacted**, **RedactedSummaryPayload**, or
**RedactedResolvedPipelinePayload**, never a direct configuration marshal.
Those methods copy every binding and nested option container, replace values
whose key is credential-shaped with **[REDACTED]**, and omit materialized
reference content while retaining safe binding and reference provenance. The
payload must not alias the source configuration or resolved pipeline.
PromptKit's local endpoint and concurrency limit are preserved as non-secret
configuration metadata in the independently owned summary; the object contains
no credential value. This redaction is deliberately narrow: it protects
configuration summaries and does not authorize recording arbitrary environment
values or provider requests.
Configuration publication uses ConfigKit's redacted effective YAML. Resolved
pipeline publication uses **RedactedResolvedPipelinePayload**, which copies
bindings and nested option containers, replaces credential-shaped values with
**[REDACTED]**, and omits materialized reference content while retaining safe
provenance. This redaction is deliberately narrow and does not authorize
recording arbitrary environment values or provider requests.
## Invariants To Preserve
- Defaults, YAML values, and environment values are applied in one direction;
later sources may override only their supported operational settings.
- ConfigKit composition applies defaults, imports, an optional profile, and
explicit overrides in one direction with retained origin metadata.
- A configuration is structurally valid before it is resolved, and a resolved
pipeline is compatible with the supplied catalog before preparation begins.
- Whitespace-normalized identifiers are unique wherever they identify a
pipeline, step, lane, worker, or reference slot.
- Resolution and summary generation return detached data. Redaction must cover
every configured and resolved binding, including nested validator bindings.
- Runtime conversion and resolved-pipeline publication return detached data.
- The resolved digest changes when resolved composition changes and never
includes itself.
## Focused Tests

parsing, normalization, file application, and structural rejection.
- **internal/core/config/env_contract_test.go** covers supported operational
overrides and their precedence.
- **internal/core/config/document_test.go** and
**operational_document_test.go** cover ConfigKit document loading,
normalization, imports, profiles, and overrides.
- **internal/core/config/validation_contract_test.go** covers configuration
invariants and contextual failures.
- **internal/core/config/effective_config_contract_test.go** covers defaults,
selections, overrides, resolution context, digest changes, and ownership.
- **internal/core/config/redaction_test.go** covers recursive credential
redaction, reference-content exclusion, and non-aliasing payloads.
- **internal/core/config/loaded_config_test.go** covers safe effective and
explanation rendering; **redaction_test.go** covers resolved-pipeline
redaction and reference-content exclusion.
