# Native data generation
`libremetaverse-codegen` is the Rust-only framework for the six source
generators present at LibreMetaverse commit
`2aa70bb68513b39795da5d13c88f31b86e85a3ba`. Normal builds compile only the
checked-in Rust outputs. They do not run this tool, invoke .NET or Roslyn, read
an environment-dependent path, access the network, or open the sibling
reference checkout.
## Provenance inventory
[`sources.json`](sources.json) is the machine-readable inventory. It records
the upstream repository and commit, source-generator hashes, every actual
`AdditionalFile`, its vendored path, SHA-256, format, and BSD-3-Clause license.
| Golden generator | Pinned data inputs |
| --- | --- |
| PacketSourceGenerator | `message_template.msg` |
| VisualParamGenerator | `avatar_lad.xml` |
| SkeletonGenerator | `avatar_skeleton.xml` |
| AttentionsGenerator | `attentions.xml`, `attentionsN.xml` |
| TreesGenerator | `trees.xml`, `grass.xml` |
| GenepoolGenerator | `genepool.xml` |
The C# project does not provide the optional `visualparamtemplate.cs` file.
The pinned VisualParam generator therefore uses the template embedded in its
own source; the inventory records that generator source and hash as provenance.
The files under `inputs/` are exact, unmodified snapshots. Their license and
copyright attribution are covered by the repository
[`LICENSE.md`](../LICENSE.md). The generated source manifest repeats each hash
and license in its header and data table.
## Commands
Regenerate every currently registered Rust output using only checked-in data:
```console
cargo run -p libremetaverse-codegen -- generate
```
Verify hashes and reject stale output without writing:
```console
cargo run -p libremetaverse-codegen -- check
```
Maintainers can refresh the vendored snapshots from an explicitly supplied
checkout. The command verifies all six golden generator hashes and all input
hashes before writing, so a different upstream revision is rejected:
```console
cargo run -p libremetaverse-codegen -- vendor ../libremetaverse
```
Generation uses UTF-8 with an optional BOM, normalizes CRLF/CR to LF, rejects
NUL input, reports stable `path:line:column: severity[code]` diagnostics, sorts
manifest records by stable IDs, emits provenance-rich generated headers, and
always terminates output with one LF. Tests generate twice in memory and
require byte identity before comparing with the checked-in file.
