# Native RLV protocol layer
`libremetaverse-rlv` implements the side-effect-free protocol boundary for the
Restrained Love Viewer support in the pinned LibreMetaverse snapshot. The
parser converts one bounded chat message into typed commands. It does not
mutate restrictions, move the camera, touch inventory, send replies, or invoke
callbacks; those stateful responsibilities are separate milestone work that
consumes this layer.
## Message contract
An input begins with `@` and contains at most 128 comma-separated commands in
at most 64 KiB. A command is either the case-insensitive bare `clear` command,
or has the form `behavior[:option]=parameter`. The first colon and first equals
sign are structural. Empty commands, behavior names, or parameters are
rejected.
The parser preserves the original behavior and parameter spelling, option text,
sender identity and name, and the exact byte span of each command. It also
provides lowercase behavior and parameter fields for protocol dispatch. Option
text is never globally trimmed or lowercased: folder paths, query separators,
setting values, role names, and other opaque strings retain their bytes. Only
an individual typed field applies the conversion required by the reference,
such as case-insensitive attachment aliases or .NET-style whitespace trimming
for a number.
Parameters select one of three families:
- `force` produces a typed `RlvAction` with validated UUID, numeric, folder,
attachment, wearable, setting, group, and teleport operands.
- `n`/`add` and `y`/`rem` produce typed add/remove restrictions. The complete
table of 119 behavior spellings is exposed as `RLV_RESTRICTION_NAMES`.
- a nonzero signed decimal channel produces a typed `RlvQuery`, including
camera, inventory, outfit, path, status, version, group, and environment
variants.
Aliases remain explicit. `FarTouch` canonicalizes to `TouchFar` in a mapped
`RlvRestriction`, while `OriginalBehavior` retains `FarTouch`. The 56 pinned
attachment spellings and 16 wearable spellings are case-insensitive but are
not whitespace-normalized. `root` maps to the avatar-center attachment point,
matching the reference. Secure restriction exception rules and value-sensitive
equality/hash behavior are implemented by the native mapped
`RlvRestriction`; `RlvCommon` implements the last-recognized attachment tag
rule used for inventory item names.
## Errors and resource limits
`RlvParseError` reports a stable `RlvParseErrorKind`, zero-based command index,
and half-open byte span. Categories distinguish missing prefix or separators,
empty fields, unknown actions/restrictions/queries, invalid UUIDs, numbers and
typed options, zero query channels, and resource-limit failures. Parsing is
linear in the message size after bounded command counting. It performs no I/O,
does not wait, and does not retain references to caller input.
The focused malformed corpus includes deterministic deletion, replacement, and
insertion mutations of actions, restrictions, queries, UUIDs, aliases, and
multi-command messages. Every mutation must return a value or a positioned
error without panicking. The limits apply before large parser allocations.
## Reproducible verification
Run the issue-owned checks with one build job:
```sh
CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo test -p libremetaverse-rlv --locked
CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo test -p libremetaverse-compat-tests --test rlv_common_semantics --locked
CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo clippy -p libremetaverse-rlv --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings
RUSTDOCFLAGS='-D warnings' CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo doc -p libremetaverse-rlv --no-deps --locked
python3 tools/check_milestone_10_issue_78.py
```
These commands are cross-platform. The Gitea workflow runs the audit and
workspace compile on `ubuntu-latest`.
