A shell command, before it runs.

Jev is asked three questions in one request: which of eight acts the command is ([Act]), how hard it would be to undo, and how much of the machine it takes. Five facts are read out of those three answers, each by a threshold below. Two more are not Jev's: how much memory there is room for, which the daemon measures when a rule tells it to, and whether the command has waited long enough for room, which the daemon knows. [RULES] turn the seven into a verdict.

11use jev_facts::{Judged, Prepared, Source, Unlearned};
12use jev_protocol::{Choice, Json, ProtocolError, Question, Response, Score};
13use jevhooks_events::Verdict;
14use rete::{Domain, Known, Network, Next, Rule, Test, Then};
15use serde_json::json;
17use crate::{Never, SHOWN_CHARS, head, percent};

A command is put to the user when Jev's probability of one particular consequential act reaches this. One act, not their sum: a thin spread over several is Jev being unsure, which is a Pass, not a flag.

22pub const ASK_AT_CONSEQUENTIAL: f64 = 0.60;

... or when its expected undo level reaches this (1 is "one ordinary command puts it back", 2 is "only with care or luck").

25pub const ASK_AT_UNDO: f64 = 1.60;

A command runs without asking when Jev's probability that it is one of the ordinary acts reaches this, and its expected undo level is at most [ALLOW_UNDO_AT_MOST].

29pub const ALLOW_AT_ORDINARY: f64 = 0.90;
30pub const ALLOW_UNDO_AT_MOST: f64 = 1.20;

The memory a command of each load level should find available before it starts, in megabytes, lowest level first.

33pub const LOAD_NEEDS_MB: [f64; 4] = [0.0, 500.0, 3000.0, 6000.0];

What "the command does" means: without it Jev judges dangerous words wherever they appear, and a command that only writes, prints or sends rm -rf as text is stopped as if it ran it. Sent once per request, as the state's how_to_judge_the_command.

39const WHAT_RUNS: &str = "Judge only what the shell would execute when this command line runs. Text that is \
40    merely carried as data is not executed: the body of a here-document, or a quoted string, that is written to \
41    a file, printed, searched for, compared, or sent as the content of a request. Such text is executed only \
42    when it is handed to something that runs it: sh, bash, eval, source, xargs, ssh, or an interpreter such as \
43    python or node. Writing a script to a file does not run the script.";

The most consequential thing a shell command does. Each variant's definition is the text Jev chooses by.

The rules, in priority order: of the rules that hold, the first decides.

Measuring comes first so that a command put to the user for what it does is put with both reasons when memory is short as well. The two rules on what it does come before the two on room, so such a command is never kept waiting. A command with no room is put to the user unless it is known to have patience left: not knowing is not a reason to wait. The last two are every answer the rule before them does not allow, each named for what is true of it, so an answer no other rule acts on is a Pass, and the user's own permission rules decide.

Jev's numbers about a command, beside the facts they teach: what the line the user reads is written from, what the memory it needs is worked out from, and what the decision log keeps.

What Jev said about a command: the facts, and the numbers behind them. Kept apart from the verdict because the verdict also depends on how much memory there is room for, and that changes while a command waits its turn.

503#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
504pub struct Asked {
505    pub known: Known<Command>,
506    pub answers: Answers,
507}

The facts the first step asks Jev for: every fact of the domain that is Jev's to give, since every rule is waiting on one.

511pub fn wanted(network: &Network<Command>) -> Vec<Fact> {
512    match network.next(&Known::default()) {
513        Next::Ask(facts) => facts,

515        _ => Vec::new(),

What a response to prepared (a request for facts) teaches.

520pub fn taught(prepared: &Prepared, response: &Response, facts: &[Fact]) -> Result<Asked, Unlearned> {
521    let judged = prepared.judged(response);
522    let mut known = Known::default();

The memory a command of expected load level load should find available, interpolated between the levels' needs.

532pub fn needed_mb(load: f64) -> f64 {
533    let load = load.clamp(0.0, (LOAD_NEEDS_MB.len() - 1) as f64);
534    let below = load.floor() as usize;
535    let above = (below + 1).min(LOAD_NEEDS_MB.len() - 1);
536    LOAD_NEEDS_MB[below] + (LOAD_NEEDS_MB[above] - LOAD_NEEDS_MB[below]) * (load - below as f64)
537}

What [Effect::Measure] teaches: whether room_mb megabytes are enough for a command that needs needs_mb. No figure is no opinion.

541pub fn room(needs_mb: f64, room_mb: Option<f64>) -> Value {
542    match room_mb {
543        None => Value::Unmeasured,
544        Some(room) if room < needs_mb => Value::Short,
545        Some(_) => Value::Enough,
546    }
547}

[Fact::Patience], from whether the command may be kept waiting longer.

550pub fn patience(may_wait: bool) -> Value {
551    if may_wait { Value::Left } else { Value::Spent }
552}
554impl Asked {

Whether the command is put to the user whatever memory there is.

556    pub fn is_risky(&self) -> bool {
557        [Fact::Consequential, Fact::HardToUndo].into_iter().any(|fact| self.known.get(fact) == Some(Value::Yes))
558    }

The verdict, with room_mb megabytes to spare (absent where memory cannot be measured) and whether the command may be kept waiting, and the line the user reads. The network decides; when it says to measure, the figure given is the measurement.

564    pub fn settle(&self, network: &Network<Command>, room_mb: Option<f64>, may_wait: bool) -> (Verdict, String) {
565        let mut known = self.known.clone();
566        known.forget(Fact::Room);
567        known.learn(Fact::Patience, patience(may_wait));
568        let verdict = loop {
569            match network.next(&known) {
570                Next::Do(Effect::Measure) => known.learn(Fact::Room, room(self.answers.needs_mb(), room_mb)),
571                Next::End(verdict) => break verdict,
572                // Nothing Jev did not answer can be asked from here, and
573                // not knowing never blocks.
574                Next::Ask(_) | Next::Done => break Verdict::Pass,
575            }
576        };
577        (verdict, self.line(&known, room_mb, verdict))
578    }

What Jev thought and how sure it was, as the permission prompt and the band show it.

582    fn line(&self, known: &Known<Command>, room_mb: Option<f64>, verdict: Verdict) -> String {
583        let Answers { acts, undo, load, .. } = &self.answers;

585        let level = (undo.round() as usize).min(UNDO_PHRASES.len() - 1);
586        let said = format!("Jev: {} ({}%); {} ({undo:.1} of 3)", likeliest.phrase(), percent(likelihood), UNDO_PHRASES[level]);

Answers made up for a test or a worked example, read the way a real response is: a response body with these numbers, parsed and learned from.

604    #[cfg(feature = "made-up")]
605    pub fn made_up(acts: &[(Act, f64)], undo: f64, load: f64) -> Self {

609        let prepared = jev_facts::wanted(&Command, &model, state("a command", None, None).expect("a state"), &facts).expect("a request");
610        let probabilities: Vec<(&str, f64)> =
611            Act::ALL.iter().map(|each| (each.label(), acts.iter().find(|(act, _)| act == each).map_or(0.0, |(_, p)| *p))).collect();
612        let body = crate::made_up_body(&[

615            ("load", crate::made_up_score(load, LOAD_LEVELS.len())),
616        ]);
617        let response = Response::parse(&model, prepared.asking().1, body.as_bytes()).expect("a response Jev could send");
618        taught(&prepared, &response, &facts).expect("every fact asked for")
619    }

Made up: Jev sure of one act.

622    #[cfg(feature = "made-up")]
623    pub fn sure_of(act: Act, undo: f64, load: f64) -> Self {
624        Self::made_up(&[(act, 1.0)], undo, load)
625    }
626}
628#[cfg(test)]
629mod tests {
630    use super::*;

The verdict on made-up answers with this much memory to spare and nobody to wait for.

633    fn verdict(acts: &[(Act, f64)], undo: f64, load: f64, room_mb: Option<f64>) -> (Verdict, String) {
634        Asked::made_up(acts, undo, load).settle(&network(), room_mb, false)
635    }
637    fn surely(act: Act) -> Vec<(Act, f64)> {
638        vec![(act, 1.0)]
639    }

Every fact Jev can give goes in the one first request, and the three questions behind the five facts are each asked once.

643    #[test]
644    fn the_first_step_asks_everything() {
645        let facts = wanted(&network());
646        assert_eq!(facts, [Fact::Consequential, Fact::HardToUndo, Fact::Ordinary, Fact::EasyToUndo, Fact::Load]);
647        let prepared = jev_facts::wanted(&Command, &crate::jev_model().unwrap(), state("ls", None, None).unwrap(), &facts).unwrap();
648        let ids: Vec<&str> = prepared.parts.iter().map(|part| part.id.as_str()).collect();
649        assert_eq!(ids, ["act", "undo", "load"]);
650        // What "the command does" means is in the state, once.
651        assert_eq!(prepared.request.matches("Judge only what the shell would execute").count(), 1);
652    }

Reading, building and editing, undone by one command at most, run without a prompt: this is the plugin's whole benefit on an ordinary day.

656    #[test]
657    fn ordinary_work_is_allowed() {
658        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Read), 0.0, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Allow);
659        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Build), 1.0, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Allow);
660        // A commit, or a note written in another repository.
661        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Edit), 1.0, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Allow);
662    }

Each of the five consequential acts stops for the user, even when it would be easy to undo.

665    #[test]
666    fn consequential_acts_are_put_to_the_user() {
667        for act in [Act::Delete, Act::History, Act::System, Act::Remote, Act::Unread] {
668            assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(act), 1.0, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Ask, "{act:?}");
669        }
670    }

The undo score is a second, independent reason to ask: a harmless-sounding act that cannot be put back still stops.

674    #[test]
675    fn anything_hard_to_undo_is_put_to_the_user_whatever_it_is_called() {
676        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Edit), 2.0, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Ask);
677        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Build), 1.6, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Ask);
678    }

Jev not knowing is a Pass: the user's own permission rules decide, as if the plugin were not there.

682    #[test]
683    fn an_unsure_answer_is_neither_allowed_nor_asked() {
684        let split = [(Act::Edit, 0.6), (Act::Delete, 0.4)];
685        assert_eq!(verdict(&split, 1.3, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Pass);
686    }

The bug this fixed: summing a thin spread over several consequential acts stopped a command Jev was merely unsure about.

690    #[test]
691    fn doubt_spread_over_several_consequential_acts_is_not_a_flag() {
692        let spread = [(Act::Unread, 0.36), (Act::System, 0.2), (Act::Delete, 0.14), (Act::Edit, 0.3)];
693        assert_eq!(verdict(&spread, 1.3, 1.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Pass);
694    }

With no room and nobody to wait for, a heavy command is put to the user, and the line says what it needs and what there is. No figure means no opinion.

698    #[test]
699    fn a_heavy_command_is_put_to_the_user_when_memory_is_short() {
700        // A build with 1.5 GB available: a heavy command wants 3 GB.
701        let (verdict_, line) = verdict(&surely(Act::Build), 1.0, 2.0, Some(1500.0));
702        assert_eq!(verdict_, Verdict::Ask);
703        assert_eq!(line, "Jev: a heavy command (2.0 of 3) with 1.5 GB of memory to spare");
704        // The same build with room to spare runs.
705        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Build), 1.0, 2.0, Some(8000.0)).0, Verdict::Allow);
706        // A light command is not held up by the same shortage.
707        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Edit), 1.0, 0.3, Some(1500.0)).0, Verdict::Allow);
708        // Where memory cannot be measured, load is not judged.
709        assert_eq!(verdict(&surely(Act::Build), 1.0, 3.0, None).0, Verdict::Allow);
710    }

The same shortage with patience left is a wait, not a question: and a command that would be put to the user anyway is never kept waiting, and is put with both reasons.

714    #[test]
715    fn a_command_with_no_room_waits_unless_it_is_risky_or_has_waited() {
716        let build = Asked::sure_of(Act::Build, 1.0, 2.0);
717        assert_eq!(build.settle(&network(), Some(1500.0), true).0, Verdict::Hold);
718        assert_eq!(build.settle(&network(), Some(1500.0), false).0, Verdict::Ask);
719        let push = Asked::sure_of(Act::History, 2.3, 2.0);
720        let (verdict, line) = push.settle(&network(), Some(1500.0), true);
721        assert_eq!(verdict, Verdict::Ask);
722        assert_eq!(
723            line,
724            "Jev: discards or rewrites version-control state (100%); hard to undo (2.3 of 3); a heavy command (2.0 of 3) with 1.5 GB of memory to spare"
725        );
726    }

A command with no room and nothing known about its patience is put to the user: only a command known to have patience left waits.

730    #[test]
731    fn not_knowing_whether_it_may_wait_is_not_a_reason_to_wait() {
732        let mut known = Asked::sure_of(Act::Build, 1.0, 2.0).known;
733        known.learn(Fact::Room, Value::Short);
734        assert_eq!(network().next(&known), Next::End(Verdict::Ask));
735    }

Room is measured before anything ends, whatever Jev said: the rule that measures is first.

738    #[test]
739    fn the_room_is_measured_before_a_verdict() {
740        for asked in [Asked::sure_of(Act::Read, 0.0, 0.0), Asked::sure_of(Act::History, 3.0, 3.0)] {
741            assert_eq!(network().next(&asked.known), Next::Do(Effect::Measure));
742        }
743    }

A load between two levels needs memory between theirs, so a score of 2.5 is not treated as a 2 or a 3.

747    #[test]
748    fn need_rises_between_levels() {
749        assert_eq!(needed_mb(0.0), 0.0);
750        assert_eq!(needed_mb(2.0), 3000.0);
751        assert_eq!(needed_mb(2.5), 4500.0);
752        assert_eq!(needed_mb(9.0), 6000.0);
753    }

The line is what the user reads in the permission prompt and the band: it must say what Jev thought and how sure it was.

757    #[test]
758    fn the_line_names_the_likeliest_act_and_the_undo_level() {
759        let (_, line) = verdict(&surely(Act::History), 2.3, 1.0, Some(8000.0));
760        assert_eq!(line, "Jev: discards or rewrites version-control state (100%); hard to undo (2.3 of 3)");
761    }

A label is what Jev answers with and what is matched back; two acts sharing one would silently merge their probabilities.

765    #[test]
766    fn every_act_has_its_own_label() {
767        for act in Act::ALL {
768            assert_eq!(Act::from_label(act.label()), Some(act));
769        }
770    }

A rule lights up in the drawing when it holds, so no rule may hold for an answer it is not about: for ordinary, easily undone work with room, the rule that allows is the only one that ends it. (The catch-all this replaced held for every answer.)

775    #[test]
776    fn only_the_rule_that_applies_holds() {
777        let mut known = Asked::sure_of(Act::Build, 1.0, 1.0).known;
778        known.learn(Fact::Room, Value::Enough);
779        known.learn(Fact::Patience, Value::Left);
780        assert_eq!(network().holding(&known), ["look for room", "ordinary and easily undone"]);
781    }

The rules name only values their facts can have, and every rule has a name of its own: what a loader would refuse in a file is refused here for the rules in code.

785    #[test]
786    fn every_rule_tests_a_value_its_fact_can_have() {
787        for rule in RULES {
788            for test in rule.when {
789                if let Test::Is(fact, value) = test {
790                    assert!(Command::values(*fact).contains(value), "{}: {fact:?} cannot be {value:?}", rule.name);
791                }
792            }
793            assert_eq!(RULES.iter().filter(|other| other.name == rule.name).count(), 1, "{}", rule.name);
794        }
795    }
796}
