# lib-core.crafting

Recipe Registry + Match-Check + Craft Action. Headless data + logic layer.
A recipe SLOT is a property-constraint over an item's (possibly derived)
properties; template-id is the trivial constraint `{template="rock"}`. Inputs
are consumed from the locale's source containers, non-consumed tools are
presence-checked, and outputs are placed into the locale's sink container.

**Version:** 0.5.0
**Lib-ID:** lib-core.crafting
**Requires:** `lib-core.composition` 0.4.0, `lib-core.inventory-list` 0.1.0
**Tags:** crafting, recipe, registry

## Scope (v0.5.0 — ADR-0055 + ADR-0056 + Phase-J quality/condition)

Property-constraint recipe slots. A recipe slot matches items by a `match`
table of property-constraints (AND-combined), evaluated via `get_property`;
the pseudo-key `template` maps to `composition.template_of`, so old template-id
recipes are the trivial constraint through the SAME match-loop. Adds
non-consumed `tools` (presence checks) and multi-output. Multi-Source /
Single-Sink locale (Form 2) plus bw-compat bare-handle locale (Form 1).
v0.4.0 (ADR-0056): actor-side `requires` (precondition gate vs `ctx.actor`) +
`grants` (reward returned as `granted`).
v0.5.0 (Phase J, design 2026-08-03): optional slot `name`; a `quality` block
computing product quality from a skill-band + named ingredient/tool qualities
(the skill `min` re-read from the `requires` floor); tool-slot `wear_per_use`
decrementing the matched tool's `condition` (reported as `wear`). All additive:
a recipe with none of these behaves exactly as v0.4.0.

**Supported:**
- `define_recipe{id, inputs, tools?, outputs|output, requires?, grants?, name?, description?, is_known?}`
  - `inputs` entries: `{template=..., count}` **or** `{match={k=v,...}, count}` (consumed)
  - `tools` entries: `{template=...}` **or** `{match={...}}` (NON-consumed presence check)
  - `outputs` array (plural) **or** `output` singular (bw-compat)
  - `requires`: a `match` table evaluated against **`ctx.actor`** (hard gate;
    same predicate machinery as slots) — e.g. `{["skill.knapping"]=">=3"}`
  - `grants`: `property → number` reward; returned as `granted`, the **module**
    writes it to the actor — e.g. `{["skill.knapping"]=1}`
  - slot `name` (input or tool, optional): a label the `quality` formula
    references — e.g. `{match={...}, count=1, name="head"}`
  - `tools` entry `wear_per_use` (optional): decrements the matched tool's
    `condition` on a successful craft (clamped 0..1; reported as `wear`)
  - `quality = {contributors={...}}` (optional): product-quality formula;
    each contributor is one of `{skill, max, weight}` /
    `{ingredient=<slot-name>, weight}` / `{tool=<slot-name>, weight}`, weights
    sum to 1; result 0..1 written onto every crafted item and returned as `quality`
- Constraint values: exact string/number/bool, or comparison string
  `">5"` / `">=0.2"` / `"<10"` / `"<=1"` / `"==x"` (numeric; string for `==`)
- `list_recipes()`, `get_recipe(id)`, `is_known(recipe_id, ctx)`
- `can_craft(recipe_id, locale, ctx)` — non-mutating; `craft(...)` — mutating
- `locale`: bare container-entity (Form 1) or `{sources={...}, sink=...}` (Form 2)
- Result `error ∈ {unknown_recipe, requires_unmet, missing_inputs, missing_tools}`;
  on `requires_unmet` also `unmet={keys}`; on a successful `craft` also `granted`,
  plus `quality` (0..1, if a quality-block ran) and `wear` (per-tool new condition)

**Deferred:**
- Skill XP→level curve, skill decay, `lib-core.skill` extraction (requires/grants
  are the generic substrate; skill vocabulary is the module's — ADR-0056)
- Graded affordances (magnitude → success chance): `affordance.*` stays boolean;
  quality/condition are orthogonal scalars that scale OUTCOMES (design 2026-08-03 §7)
- Repair (condition-raising / in-place input mutation) — deferred (design §8)
- Workpiece-Model / multi-step / Batch / Time-coupled craft
- True bipartite input↔item matching (v0.3 uses greedy first-fit — a solvable
  recipe where one item satisfies two slots can be missed; no stone-age
  recipe hits this)
- `density × volume` derived mass on the material substrate (v0.3 reads
  whatever property keys the recipe names)

## API

### `crafting.define_recipe(def)`

**Syntax:** `crafting.define_recipe({id, inputs, tools?, outputs|output, requires?, grants?, name?, description?, is_known?}) -> void`

**Example (template-id, bw-compat):**
```lua
crafting.define_recipe{
    id     = "rock_pick",
    inputs = { { template = "rock", count = 1 }, { template = "stick", count = 1 } },
    output = { template = "rock_pick", count = 1 },
    name   = "Stone Pick",
}
```

**Example (property-constraint + tool + multi-output):**
```lua
crafting.define_recipe{
    id      = "saw_planks",
    inputs  = { { match = { category = "wood", mass = ">5" }, count = 1 } },
    tools   = { { match = { ["affordance.cutting"] = true } } },   -- NOT consumed
    outputs = { { template = "plank", count = 4 } },
    name    = "Saw Planks",
}
```

**Example (actor gate + reward, ADR-0056):**
```lua
crafting.define_recipe{
    id       = "craft_stone_axe",
    inputs   = { { match = { ["affordance.cutting"] = true }, count = 1 }, ... },
    requires = { ["skill.knapping"] = ">=3" },   -- gate vs ctx.actor
    grants   = { ["skill.knapping"] = 1 },        -- reward -> `granted`, module writes
    outputs  = { { template = "stone_axe", count = 1 } },
}
```

**Description:** Registers a recipe under `id`.
- `inputs` (required, non-empty): consumed slots. Each entry has a `count` plus
  either `template = "<id>"` or `match = {key=constraint, ...}`.
- `tools` (optional): non-consumed presence checks. Each entry is `{template}`
  or `{match}` (no count — a matching item need only be present).
- `outputs` (array) or `output` (single, bw-compat): items created into the sink.
- `requires` (optional): a `match` table evaluated against **`ctx.actor`** (not
  container items) — a hard gate. Failing → `{ok=false, error="requires_unmet",
  unmet={keys}}`. Fail-closed when `ctx.actor` is nil. Distinct from `is_known`
  (discovery). Same predicate/`match` shape as slots.
- `grants` (optional): `property → number` map. Returned as `granted` from a
  successful `craft`; the **consuming module** applies it to the actor (crafting
  stays container-scoped). Domain-free: crafting knows no "skill" meaning.
- A `match` constraint value is an exact string/number/bool, or a comparison
  string `">5"` / `">=0.2"` / `"<10"` / `"<=1"` / `"==x"`. Keys AND-combine.
  The pseudo-key `template` matches `composition.template_of`; all other keys
  match `get_property(key)` (read safely — an item lacking the property fails).
- `name` / `description` optional display strings; `is_known(ctx) -> bool`
  optional discovery hook (default `true`).

Loud `error(...)` on: non-table `def`; missing / non-string / empty `id`;
duplicate `id`; empty `inputs`; a slot with neither `template` nor `match`;
an empty `match`; bad `count`; missing both `outputs` and `output`;
non-function `is_known`; non-table or empty `grants`; non-string `grants` key
or non-number `grants` value; non-string slot `name`; non-positive
`wear_per_use`; a `quality` block whose `contributors` is empty, whose weights
don't sum to 1, a contributor that isn't exactly one of skill/ingredient/tool,
a `skill` contributor missing `max`, or an ingredient/tool contributor naming a
slot that no `name` declares.

Error messages follow the pattern `"crafting.define_recipe '<id>': <reason>"`
so test-suites can pattern-match.

### `crafting.list_recipes()`

**Syntax:** `crafting.list_recipes() -> {recipe_def, ...}`

**Description:** Returns a shallow-copied list of all currently-registered
recipes. Mutating the returned list (or the entries themselves) does not
affect the registry. Order is unspecified.

### `crafting.get_recipe(id)`

**Syntax:** `crafting.get_recipe(id: string) -> recipe_def or nil`

**Description:** Returns a shallow-copy of the registered recipe with the
given `id`, or `nil` if no recipe is registered under that id.

### `crafting.is_known(recipe_id, ctx)`

**Syntax:** `crafting.is_known(recipe_id: string, ctx: table) -> bool`

**Description:** Returns the result of `recipe.is_known(ctx)` for the
named recipe, or `false` if the `recipe_id` is unregistered. `ctx`
must be a table (loud-error otherwise); empty `{}` is allowed. Used by
display libs to filter the recipe list to known recipes only.

### `crafting.can_craft(recipe_id, locale, ctx)`

**Syntax:** `crafting.can_craft(recipe_id, locale, ctx) -> result`

**Result-Shape:**
```lua
-- success
{ ok = true }

-- recipe missing / not known
{ ok = false, error = "unknown_recipe" }

-- actor precondition not met (ADR-0056)
{ ok = false, error = "requires_unmet", unmet = { "skill.knapping", ... } }

-- inputs insufficient
{
    ok = false, error = "missing_inputs",
    missing = {
        { template = "stick", needed = 1, have = 0 },
        ...
    },
}
```

**Description:** Non-mutating check whether `recipe_id` can be crafted
right now. Returns `ok=true` if the recipe is registered, `is_known(ctx)`
returns `true`, the recipe's `requires` (if any) are satisfied by
`ctx.actor`, AND the union of `inventory.contents` across all
`locale.sources` supplies every input slot. Otherwise `ok=false` with an
`error` discriminator (checked in that order: `unknown_recipe` →
`requires_unmet` → `missing_inputs` → `missing_tools`). For
`requires_unmet`, `unmet` lists the failing actor-precondition keys (a nil
`ctx.actor` fails all — fail-closed). For `missing_inputs`, `missing`
lists each under-supplied input with aggregated `needed`/`have`.

The `locale` parameter accepts two forms (see "Locale-Schema (v0.2.0)"
below for details): a bare container-entity (Form 1, bw-compat to v0.1)
or an explicit `{sources={c1, c2, ...}, sink=c_out}` table (Form 2).

Loud-Error: `ctx` must be a table (empty `{}` OK); `locale` must not be
`nil`; for Form 2, `locale.sources` must be a non-empty array and
`locale.sink` must not be `nil`.

### `crafting.craft(recipe_id, locale, ctx)`

**Syntax:** `crafting.craft(recipe_id, locale, ctx) -> result`

**Result-Shape:**
```lua
-- success
{
    ok            = true,
    crafted_items = { entity_handle, ... },  -- new output entities
    consumed      = { entity_handle, ... },  -- input entities (already destroyed)
    granted       = { ["skill.knapping"] = 1 },  -- recipe.grants, or nil; MODULE applies
    quality       = 0.7,                     -- 0..1 if a quality-block ran (else nil);
                                             -- also written onto each crafted item
    wear          = { hammer = 0.8 },        -- new condition per worn tool-slot (else nil)
}

-- failure (same shape as can_craft)
{ ok = false, error = "unknown_recipe" }
{ ok = false, error = "requires_unmet", unmet = {...} }
{ ok = false, error = "missing_inputs", missing = {...} }
```

**Description:** Performs the same registration / `requires` / availability
checks as `can_craft` first; on failure returns the same result early
(sources untouched). `granted` echoes the recipe's `grants` (or nil) — the
**consuming module** writes it to `ctx.actor`; `craft` itself does not
mutate the actor. On success:
1. For each `input.need`, greedy-drain matching-template items from the
   sources in array-order (`locale.sources[1]` first, then `[2]`, ...).
   Each item is removed via `inventory.remove` from its source and then
   `composition.destroy`d. The first source is fully drained of matching
   items before moving on to the next.
2. Creates `output.count` new items via
   `composition.create{template=output.template}`.
3. Adds each new output to `locale.sink` via `inventory.add`.

The greedy-drain-order is deterministic and stable: caller controls which
source supplies first by ordering the `sources` array. Common patterns:
put the workpiece-stash first to consume its leftovers; put the player
backpack first to leave the workbench-buffer for next time.

The returned `consumed` array references the input entity handles AFTER
they were destroyed; they're useful for debug logging but must not be
operated on (their composition meta-record is gone).

Loud-Error: `ctx` must be a table (empty `{}` OK); `locale` must not be
`nil`; for Form 2, `locale.sources` must be a non-empty array and
`locale.sink` must not be `nil`.

## Recipe-Schema

```lua
{
    id          = "rock_pick",                -- string, unique, non-empty
    inputs      = {                            -- non-empty array
        { template = "rock",  count = 1 },     -- count > 0, integer
        { template = "stick", count = 1 },
    },
    output      = { template = "rock_pick", count = 1 },
    requires    = { ["skill.knapping"] = ">=3" },  -- optional (ADR-0056): gate
                                               -- vs ctx.actor; same match shape
    grants      = { ["skill.knapping"] = 1 },  -- optional (ADR-0056): reward,
                                               -- returned as `granted`
    quality     = { contributors = {           -- optional (Phase J): product-quality
        { skill = "skill.knapping", max = 5, weight = 0.4 },  -- min = requires-floor
        { ingredient = "head", weight = 0.3 }, -- a NAMED input slot's `quality`
        { tool = "hammer",     weight = 0.3 }, -- a NAMED tool's `quality`×`condition`
    } },                                       -- weights sum to 1; product 0..1
    name        = "Stone Pick",                -- optional, display
    description = "A pick for mining stone.",  -- optional, used by Inspect
    is_known    = function(ctx) return true end,
                                               -- optional discovery hook
                                               -- ctx is the caller-supplied table
                                               -- default: returns true unconditionally
}
```

## Locale-Schema (v0.2.0)

The `locale` parameter to `can_craft` / `craft` describes WHERE inputs
come from and WHERE outputs go. Two forms are accepted:

### Form 1 (bw-compat, v0.1)

A bare container-entity-handle:

```lua
crafting.craft("rock_pick", player_backpack, ctx)
```

Internally treated as `{sources = {player_backpack}, sink = player_backpack}`
— the single container is both the sole input source AND the output sink.
This is the v0.1 single-container behavior and remains supported
unchanged.

### Form 2 (explicit, v0.2)

A table with `sources` (non-empty array) and `sink`:

```lua
crafting.craft("rock_pick",
    { sources = {workbench_buffer, player_backpack}, sink = workbench_buffer },
    ctx)
```

- `sources` is an array of container-entity-handles. Inputs are
  consumed greedy-left-to-right: the first source is fully drained of
  matching items before moving to the next. Caller controls priority via
  array order.
- `sink` is a single container-entity-handle. All outputs are added to
  this container.
- The `sink` MAY appear in `sources` (e.g. the workbench buffer is both
  an input source AND the output sink). It does not have to.
- `can_craft` aggregates `have` counts across ALL sources before
  comparing against `needed`.

### Bw-Compat Guarantee

Any v0.1 call site that passed a bare container-entity-handle as the
second argument continues to work unchanged in v0.2; the shim wraps it
into `{sources = {h}, sink = h}` transparently. No call-site migration
is required.

### Loud-Error Conditions

| Condition | Error message |
|---|---|
| `locale == nil` | `crafting.<fn>: locale must not be nil` |
| Form 2, `sources` not a table or empty | `crafting.<fn>: locale.sources must be non-empty array` |
| Form 2, `sink == nil` | `crafting.<fn>: locale.sink must not be nil` |

## Test Backdoors

```lua
crafting._test_clear_all()    -- wipe the recipe registry; for test isolation
crafting._test_get_recipes()  -- raw internal recipes-by-id table
```

These are not part of the stable surface; they exist so test-libs can
re-initialize state between assertions.

## Conventions

- **Locale-Parameter:** v0.2 takes a `locale` describing input sources
  and output sink. Single-container call sites stay simple via Form-1
  bw-compat (bare-handle); workbench-style "merge inputs from N
  containers into a sink-entity" call sites use Form-2 explicit table.
- **Discovery-Hook:** Per-recipe `is_known(ctx)` lets modders gate
  recipes on schematic-store-lookups, skill-property-checks, etc.
  without expanding the surface.
- **No silent fail:** `craft` always re-checks `can_craft` and returns
  a structured error if conditions changed since the UI's last frame.
- **Greedy-drain-order is stable:** `craft` consumes from sources in
  array-order, fully draining each matching template before moving on.
  Callers can rely on this for sink-priority patterns.
