majordomus env explain

Where each value came from: the file, command or constant that decided it, the resolver that read it, and how far it can be trusted

Usage

majordomus env explain [OPTIONS] [FIELD]

Arguments

argument	value	default	description
<FIELD>	<FIELD>	—	One field in dotted form (`vcs.branch`, `layer.objects`), or a prefix; every field when absent
--repo	<PATH>	—	Start the search for the repository root here (default: the current directory) (accepted by every subcommand)
--discovery	vcs \| filesystem	vcs	How declarative files are enumerated (accepted by every subcommand) `vcs` — Tracked files, through the version-control index (the layer's contract) `filesystem` — A walk of the work tree with the same glob semantics; untracked files included
--strict	flag	—	Refuse to proceed when any file of the layer carries an error diagnostic (accepted by every subcommand)
--share	<DIR>	—	The tool distribution's share directory (kinds.yaml, schemas/); default: $MAJORDOMUS_SHARE, then the repository's own share/, then the one beside the executable (accepted by every subcommand)
--format	text \| json	text	Output shape (accepted by every subcommand) `text` — Lines for a person `json` — One JSON document, deterministic

Examples

Where one value came from

An inferred system without provenance is magic. Every field of the snapshot can name the file, command or compile-time constant that decided it, the resolver that read it, and whether it was read now, taken from the cache, or not resolved at all.
```
$ majordomus env explain project.version
```
Verified by the example tests: exits 0; prints project.version, source, resolver.

Where this comes from

Declared once in apps/majordomus-cli/src/cli.rs: clap for the structure, typed Rust metadata beside it for the examples. This page, majordomus env explain --help, docs/generated/cli.md and docs/generated/cli.json are projections of that one declaration.

The whole command line on one page: the registry's command-line page. The task lifecycle (init, start, finish, doctor, ...) belongs to the shell tool, a different program: Commands and its specification.
