refactor(stelae): move the dolos-free residue out of the profile

[scarmuega]

Plan: plans/dolos-stelae-repo-split-residue-moves.md — first of the four
in-workspace sub-plans of
dolos-stelae-repo-split.

Pure mechanics. Code that is already dolos-free crosses the crate boundary
behind re-export shims; no signature changes beyond error-type mapping, no
behaviour changes, no CLI changes.

What moved

Into crates/stelae (protocol).

• export::history_for → stelae::inscription::history_for, beside
  Inscription::validate, whose constructive half it is. Its five tests move
  with it and are re-expressed on the crate's existing Toy profile.
• The fixed-arity canonical-CBOR decode helpers (open, close, uint,
  text, blob, fixed) → a new stelae::codec. They imported exactly
  minicbor::Decoder and the crate error.

Into a new crates/stelae-driver. Its own Error with no dolos-typed
variants, an oci feature forwarding to stelae/oci, and the same
never-dolos-* boundary prose the protocol manifest carries:
preflight.rs, reporting.rs, Standing, scope_key, and the digests
codec — each with its tests.

Shims. dolos-snapshot re-exports all of it at the old paths:
crate::preflight, crate::reporting, crate::scope_key, crate::DIGESTS,
export::history_for, export::Standing, layers::digests.

Doc fix. src/bin/dolos/snapshot/mod.rs cited a registry cargo feature
that exists in no manifest; the OCI surface rides dolos-snapshot/oci, which
the root manifest enables unconditionally. That is the one CLI-side line in
this diff.

The error-type mapping, which is where "mechanical" could have drifted

Moving a function moves which enum carries its failures. Five refusals that
were dolos_snapshot::Error's are now raised a crate down, and every one of
them is matched on somewhere — a unit test, a suite in tests/, or the CLI's
exit-code mapping.

So From<stelae::Error> and From<stelae_driver::Error> flatten rather
than wrap: MalformedRecord, OutOfOrder, NotEnoughSpace,
MalformedInscription and HistoryBreak keep the profile-side variant they
had, and only what has no profile-side name arrives as Error::Stelae(..).
? converts everywhere it did; what a caller matches and what an operator
reads are byte-identical to before.

This is the one deliberate departure from the plan's Edit 3, which called for
a Driver(#[from] stelae_driver::Error) variant. Flattening makes that
variant unconstructible, so it is not there — an unreachable variant would be
worse than the deviation. The plan's stated purpose for it ("so ? keeps
working everywhere") is met.

Two smaller notes for the reviewer:

• layers::digests is a four-line shim, not a bare pub use: the tests pass
  digests::encode/decode into helpers bound to Result<_, dolos_snapshot::Error>, so the two free functions are spelled out to keep
  those call sites untouched. The types and OrderCheck are re-exported
  directly.
• The digests module's documentation is written in Cardano words
  (immutable-DB files, Mithril merkle leaves) and now lives in a
  profile-generic crate. Its code depends on nothing but stelae, which is
  why it moved; the prose is noted rather than rewritten, since rewriting it
  would lose the reason the kind exists.

Nothing else resisted the move. Everything the plan named is here.

Verification

• cargo test --workspace --all-targets — green (exit 0).
• cargo +nightly fmt --all -- --check — clean.
• crates/snapshot/tests/goldens.rs — 4/4 pass, zero re-pins;
  git diff --stat -- crates/snapshot/tests/ is empty, so no test file
  changed at all.
• cargo tree -e normal --all-features -p stelae -p stelae-driver — matches
  nothing ^dolos(-|$).
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings —
  clean for stelae, stelae-driver and dolos-snapshot's lib and every
  target this PR touches. It is not clean on main at the pinned
  toolchain: crates/cardano/src/model/proposals.rs:1170
  (clippy::filter_next), crates/cardano/src/ewrap/loading.rs:3197,3305
  (clippy::cloned_ref_to_slice_refs) and four
  clippy::doc_lazy_continuation hits in crates/snapshot/tests/publish.rs
  (lines 205-208, byte-identical on origin/main) all fail. None is in this
  diff, and CI does not see them: the clippy job runs cargo clippy --all-targets without --workspace, so it lints the root package only.
  Left as a finding rather than fixed, to keep this PR to one concern.

  • Added digest verification for immutable database files.
  • Added validation for record structure, ordering, history continuity, and available disk space.
  • Added canonical scope handling and reusable progress reporting.
  • Added improved OCI repository support for snapshot operations.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved error reporting for malformed records, history gaps, ordering issues, and insufficient storage.

CI: cargo fmt is red repo-wide, not from this PR

The cargo fmt check fails here and on four of the five open PRs
(#1281, #1282, #1283 and this one; #1284 predates the roll). The job runs
dtolnay/rust-toolchain@nightly, an unpinned channel, and the current
nightly rewraps comments differently from the one that was green on main
on 2026-08-27. It flags 85 files across the whole workspace —
crates/core, crates/trp, crates/minibf, src/relay, xtask,
tests/memory.rs — almost none of them touched by any open PR.

Locally, cargo +nightly fmt --all -- --check is clean on this branch with
rustfmt 1.10.0-nightly (969b803cbe 2026-08-09).

Not fixed here: reformatting 85 files would swamp this diff, and the fix
belongs in CI (pin the nightly, as rust-toolchain.toml pins stable) or in
a one-off workspace reformat — either way a separate concern with a separate
owner.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds the stelae-driver workspace crate, moves shared codecs and driver logic into reusable modules, and updates snapshot to re-export and use those implementations.

Changes

Shared driver extraction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stelae codecs and inscription contracts crates/stelae/src/codec.rs, crates/stelae/src/inscription.rs, crates/stelae/src/lib.rs	The stelae crate adds fixed-arity CBOR decoding helpers, malformed-record and history-break errors, and the public history_for helper with tests.
Driver machinery and validation crates/stelae-driver/Cargo.toml, crates/stelae-driver/src/*	The new crate adds digest codecs, strict ordering checks, free-space preflight checks, shared errors, standing and scope helpers, and public reporting types.
Snapshot integration and compatibility crates/snapshot/Cargo.toml, crates/snapshot/src/*, src/bin/dolos/snapshot/mod.rs, Cargo.toml	snapshot re-exports shared APIs, delegates digest encoding and decoding, updates codec imports and error conversions, and adapts registry and restore preflight calls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7dfb7

The refactor changes export::history_for to return a different public error type, so callers that annotate or match the existing dolos_snapshot::Error result may stop compiling. Restore the old error type through a forwarding shim before merging.
