Brandon Thomas f64ae3bf3c Craft Anything
A native, pure-Rust app that shows anyone how a piece of software works, with
evidence-backed answers, then helps them rebuild it. It ships a desktop app, a
CLI and an MCP server, all driven by one engine.

# Contributing
Thanks for helping. The rules every change follows (people and AI agents alike) are in
[AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md); the mistakes they come from are in [docs/pitfalls.md](docs/pitfalls.md).
In short:
- **Pick work from [docs/ROADMAP.md](docs/ROADMAP.md)** (`cargo xtask pending` lists what's open).
Claim it first: add `— claimed: <your name>, branch <branch>` to its line and open a draft PR,
so nobody else does the same work.
- **One change per PR**, on a branch named `feature/`, `bugfix/`, `docs/`, `test/`, `refactor/` or
`chore/` plus the roadmap id (`feature/r1.4-provider-key-ui`). PRs are squash-merged, so the
title is the commit message: plain English, what changed for the person or developer.
- **Where things go:** [docs/extending.md](docs/extending.md) (tools, target kinds, checks, coding
agents, engines, plugins).
- **Never crash, safe Rust only, every external program through `craft_anything_platform::process`,
no secrets or personal data anywhere.** Everything is our own work: no code, names or wording copied from other projects.
Before you ask for review:
```sh
cargo fmt --all
cargo test -p <crates you touched>
cargo clippy -p <crates> --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo xtask layers
cargo xtask secrets
```
Enable the secret-scan hook once per clone: `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`.
