Engineering policies

Version and dependency policy

noyalib-serde-yaml releases in strict lockstep with noyalib. Version 0.0.58 pins the core at exactly =0.0.58. Release work uses feat/v0.0.58; each subsequent iteration increments exactly 0.0.1.

Minimum Rust version

The minimum supported Rust version is 1.89.0, declared in the manifest and verified by CI. A floor increase is a breaking-axis change and requires a changelog entry.

Compatibility

The documented serde_yaml behaviour, error display and location shapes, package-rename path, and exported names are public. Production manifests must not contain a local path override. During 0.0.x, the patch component is the breaking axis.

Family-wide policies live in the core POLICIES.md.
