the contract

1 declaration

Descriptions are the schema's own; the deeper invariants (value languages and regexes) ride the same projection. A miss is a nika check finding before anything runs.

in a real file

a crafted check-green file
hash.nika.yaml
  artifact:    exec:      shell: "cat report.md | tr -d '\r'"      cwd: "./dist"      env:        LC_ALL: "C"

a verbatim slice, real line numbers from hash.nika.yaml, nika check green; the drift gate re-proves this copy on every test run.
