# Internal Sources And Validation
## Purpose
This document describes Promptkit's implemented internal source, artifact,
rendering, and output-validation behavior. The
[architecture policy](../policy/architecture.md) owns the library boundary and
dependency rules. None of these internal packages is a supported consumer API,
and the root engine assembles them behind its public source options and values.
The [framework format reference](../formats.md) owns the exact file fields,
validation modes, built-in catalog, and source precedence.
## Prompt Definitions
`internal/promptdef` discovers YAML deterministically, decodes and validates
definitions, selects an ID and optional version, and resolves file-backed
message content within the selected operating-system or `fs.FS` source.
Exact prompt inspection performs one point-in-time lookup through that same
repository and validates referenced message content before returning declared
metadata. It does not parse templates or read profile, input, or schema
sources, and it does not retain the definition for a later execution.
Its package tests own prompt selection, strict decoding, definition validation,
duplicate detection, and source containment:
[prompt-definition repository tests](../../internal/promptdef/repository_test.go).
## Profiles And Built-Ins
`internal/profile` loads and validates execution profiles from an
operating-system filesystem or an `fs.FS`. Its overlay repository consults the
next repository only when the higher-precedence repository reports that a
profile is absent. Strict YAML decoding recognizes the optional `backend`
field, trims its value, and requires a model plus at least one non-blank
backend or endpoint. Loading does not check registry membership because the
available registry belongs to the assembled engine; the runner checks
membership during preparation and exact profile inspection.
The root engine assembles profile repositories in precedence order: in-memory
profiles, one ordinary configured source, then the embedded built-in catalog.
An explicit file or `fs.FS` profile source replaces `Config.ProfileDir` within
the ordinary configured-source category.
Exact profile inspection performs one point-in-time lookup through those
profile sources and checks the resolved target without reading prompt, input,
or schema sources. It does not retain that lookup for a later execution.
`internal/profile/builtin` embeds the maintained built-in profile catalog.
Every embedded profile selects `openrouter` and inherits its endpoint and
credential environment-variable name from the built-in backend registry rather
than repeating those values. Profile loading and overlay behavior are owned by
the [profile repository tests](../../internal/profile/repository_test.go),
while catalog completeness, the backend-selection invariant, and duplicate IDs
are owned by the
[built-in repository tests](../../internal/profile/builtin/repository_test.go).
## Ordinary Artifacts
`internal/artifact` resolves inline references and unrestricted,
caller-selected file paths. It copies content into an artifact, records
metadata and a content hash, applies a content-type fallback, and honors
context cancellation.
This ordinary reader does not implement an inbound HTTP security boundary. In
particular, it does not constrain files to an application root or impose an
HTTP request-size policy. Scriptorium's restricted HTTP reader remains an
application concern outside Promptkit. The
[artifact reader tests](../../internal/artifact/reader_test.go) own the
implemented reader behavior and failures.
## Rendering
`internal/prompt` renders definition messages as Go templates using named
artifacts and variables. It carries message roles, session IDs, and cache
control into the rendered prompt. The
[renderer tests](../../internal/prompt/renderer_test.go) own rendering behavior.
## Schemas And Output Validation
`internal/validate` provides validators backed by an operating-system
filesystem or an `fs.FS`. Invalid generated content is returned as a validation
result; inability to load, register, or compile a schema is an operational
error.
For executable preparation, the built-in validators create a frozen validation
plan. None, basic, and JSON modes retain the effective output contract without
source access. JSON Schema mode loads the root document, resolves and compiles
every transitive reference during preparation, and retains the compiled
validator. The provider-facing structured-output metadata uses that same
captured root document.
`PrepareExecution` also completes prompt and profile selection, artifact
loading and hashing, session and message rendering, and target resolution.
`RunPrepared` uses the retained source-derived state and validation plan; it
does not reopen prompt, profile, input, or schema sources and does not rerender
the request. By contrast, ordinary `Prepare` produces a preparation value only:
a later `Run` performs its own source resolution and preparation.
The [validator tests](../../internal/validate/standard_validator_test.go) own
basic, JSON, JSON Schema, source resolution, schema loading, compilation,
frozen-reference behavior, and content-failure behavior. Prepared execution
orchestration is owned by the
[use-case tests](../../internal/usecase/prepared_execution_test.go).
