Python and Unicode
- requires-python is >=3.14,<3.15: 3.14 is the only Python with the
Unicode 16.0 data the specification pins (3.13 has 15.1, 3.15 has 17.0).
- `import paperspec` raises ImportError unless unicodedata reports
paperspec.UNICODE_VERSION (16.0.0), so a source checkout or an install
that bypasses requires-python cannot compute values on other data.
Commands
- tools/{check,build,validate,load,stress,site}.py move with history to
src/paperspec/cli/ and install as paperspec-check, -build, -validate,
-load, -stress and -site; each also runs as `python -m paperspec.cli.X`.
- paperspec.cli.require() exits with "install paperspec[tools]" when
cryptography or jsonschema is missing; paperspec.cli.checkout() finds
the repository the check, build, stress and site commands work on (the
editable install's own checkout, else the one around the current
folder) and exits with a message outside one. tools/__init__.py is gone.
- validate and load read the schemas and SQL through the new
paperspec.resources.path(), which finds them in a wheel and in an
editable install alike, so they work anywhere the package is installed.
- check runs the rebuild as `python -m paperspec.cli.build`.
- build still writes the provenance tool label "paperspec tools/build.py":
it is part of every hashed and signed fixture.
- pixi tasks and the check workflow run the commands; tools/README.md
documents them, and the other docs name the commands instead of paths.
License
- LICENSE.md gives `src/` Apache-2.0 alongside `tools/`. Since the
previous commit moved the code to src/, no row had covered it.
pixi run check passes (run as `python -m paperspec.cli.check` with src/ on
the path, since this environment cannot install the entry points); the
byte-for-byte rebuild matches, so no fixture or vector changed.
pixi.lock still needs `pixi lock`.

22. Conformance
22.1 The suite
| Path | Holds | A conforming implementation |
|---|---|---|
vectors/*.jsonl |
Inputs and expected outputs, one case per line. | Computes every expected output from its input. |
fixtures/packages/ |
Valid packages: a converted chemistry paper with corrections, receipts, a multi-level-header table and a dataset; its checks-only export; an open-access paper with two witnesses; a Typst draft; a tiny document, as a folder and as the zip of 12.2. | Accepts each, and recomputes every value it contains. |
fixtures/records/ |
A valid record of every other format that is a JSON file of its own; the stage requirements and stamp rules are in registry/, and a bundle is built by paperspec-load --bundle. |
Accepts each. |
fixtures/invalid/ |
Invalid packages, each with expect.json naming the rule it breaks. |
Refuses each, and SHOULD name that rule. |
fixtures/keys/ |
The test keys that signed the fixtures and the team secret of the checks-only export. | Never uses them for anything else. |
All fixture text is synthetic and dedicated to the public domain; license fields inside fixtures describe the fictional works. Each part's CI runs this suite against its own implementation, so the parts cannot drift apart silently.
22.2 Validating a package
A validator checks, in order, and reports each failure as path:line: rule: message:
- The manifest: present, valid, sorted, every listed file present with its hash and size, nothing unlisted, paths safe and no symbolic links, required files present.
- Every file in canonical form, byte for byte, and every record against its schema.
- The tree (3), runs and references between nodes, the counts, and the keys (2.4).
- The policy and hashing scheme (12.5).
- The five values of every node, the root and
meta_hash, when the text is present and the key, if any, is known. - The ID table, the corrections and the history root, the witnesses, pages, locations and references, and every file's order.
- Receipts: IDs, roots, documents, node order, signatures against the package's roster, spot-check keys, seeds and samples, and the fidelity distribution.
22.3 Schemas
Schemas use draft 2020-12, restricted to the keywords $schema, $id, $ref, $defs, $comment, title, description, examples, default, deprecated, type, enum, const, properties, required, additionalProperties, patternProperties, propertyNames, minProperties, maxProperties, dependentRequired, items, prefixItems, minItems, maxItems, uniqueItems, contains, minLength, maxLength, pattern, format, minimum, maximum, exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum, oneOf, anyOf, allOf, not, if, then and else.
Patterns avoid \d, \w, \s, \b and lookbehind, whose meaning differs between regular-expression dialects.
A schema checks shape; the chapters' rules, such as the five values, are checked by validators.
22.4 Rules
registry/rules.json lists every rule ID with its meaning. Rule IDs are stable: a rule's meaning never changes, and a retired rule's ID is never reused.
| Prefix | Covers |
|---|---|
package. |
The manifest, paths, files and schemas. |
doc.tree., doc.node., doc.run., doc.table. |
The tree, node content and runs. |
doc.hash. |
The five values, the root and the metadata hash. |
doc.id., doc.order. |
The ID table and file order. |
doc.policy. |
Text policies and keyed hashing. |
doc.key., doc.counts, doc.history |
The keys, the counts and the history root of document.json. |
doc.correction., correction. |
A package's corrections, and the gate. |
doc.receipt., doc.qa., doc.fidelity. |
Receipts, spot-checks and levels. |
doc.witness., doc.page., doc.location., doc.reference. |
Witnesses and geometry. |
grade. |
Grading. |
22.5 Stability
Within a major version of a format, a valid file stays valid, and every value the chapters define is computed the same way.
Rule IDs, enumeration values and format identifiers are never reused with another meaning.
A candidate format changes only with a recorded reason and a new or changed vector; a provisional one may change more freely, and says so in registry/formats.json.
