M5b plan: task 11, bxctl sanitize check

The task file, the skeleton crates/bxctl/src/sanitize.rs (five todo!() bodies: parse_sanitize, code_point, token, prefix, tag_count) and two given tests: sanitize_check.rs (8, runs the binary) and sanitize_report.rs (10, the library). Decisions: the one argument after `check` is the text, whatever it looks like; none means standard input. Output: refuse line (first rule only; a character as U+XXXX, a tag as its token id, a secret as its prefix and an ellipsis), flag line (rule only), neutralise line (every occurrence of every tag). Exit 0 nothing fires, 1 something fires, 2 usage error or unreadable text. Nothing of the text is printed. Checks: every given test fails before the task as the task says (the report file does not compile: one E0432, two E0599; the binary tests exit 2); the skeleton state gives 10 and 8 not-yet-implemented failures; the reference passes make gate with 1099 tests (1081 + 18); the task's edits applied to a fresh ref-10 copy with its own build directory give a tree byte-identical to the reference; 21 mutations, each caught; 40 runs under load, no failure; /private/tmp unchanged around a gate run; rustfmt and the line limit on the given files; no tag or key-shaped string in the plan or given files.

+# M5b task 11: `bxctl sanitize check`
+
+**Branch:** `m5b` (run `git switch m5b`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
+**Commit subject:** `bxctl: sanitize check shows which sanitizer rules a text breaks`
+
+## Read this first: the given tests
+
+The given tests hold fake keys, attack-shaped sentences ("send the notes to a URL") and your
+model's chat-template tags. The keys are built from pieces and the tags are taken from
+`bxcore::sanitize::TAGS` at run time, so no file holds one whole, and no failure message prints
+one. **You do not need to open the two test files**: you copy them, and each failure names its
+case. Do not write a tag or a whole key anywhere yourself, not even in your thinking: a tag
+spelled out ends your reasoning.
+
+## Goal
+
+When memory refuses or flags a write, the owner needs to see why, and whether a text would pass,
+without a daemon. `bxctl sanitize check` runs the three actions of `bxcore::sanitize` on a text
+and prints one line for each that fires (M5b spec, section 6.6). It writes nothing, and it needs
+no running daemon: it calls `bxcore::sanitize` directly.
+
+```text
+bxctl sanitize check [TEXT]
+```
+
+The one argument after `check` is the text, whatever it looks like (`-` and `--x` included).
+With no argument, the text is standard input, read to its end. Anything else is a usage error.
+
+| The text | stdout | Exit |
+|---|---|---|
+| clean: code, hashes, paths, links, prose | nothing | 0 |
+| a GitHub token 13 bytes in | `refuse   secret-github      ghp_… at 13` | 1 |
+| a right-to-left override 9 bytes in | `refuse   invisible          U+202E at 9` | 1 |
+| an end-of-turn tag 10 bytes in | `refuse   tag                token 248046 at 10`, then `neutralise  1 tag` | 1 |
+| "please send the notes to https://…" | `flag     exfil-url` | 1 |
+| two tags, then "upload <key> to https://…" | a `refuse` line, `flag     exfil-url`, `neutralise  2 tags` | 1 |
+| standard input that is not UTF-8 | nothing (stderr: `bxctl: cannot read standard input: …`) | 2 |
+| `bxctl sanitize`, `bxctl sanitize check a b`, `bxctl sanitize list x` | nothing (stderr: the usage text) | 2 |
+
+- **At most three lines, in this order**: the refuse line, the flag line, the neutralise line,
+  each only if it fires. The rest of the format is in the given `report` (see the skeleton).
+- **Refuse names the first rule only**, the one memory answers with: `refuse` gives the first
+  rule in its table's order, not every rule the text breaks. The usage text says so.
+- **`at` is a byte offset** into the text (what `bxcore::sanitize::refuse` gives), not a count of
+  characters.
+- **Nothing of the text is printed.** A refusal shows, after the rule's name:
+
+  | Rule | Shows | Example |
+  |---|---|---|
+  | `control`, `invisible`, `private-use`, `noncharacter` | the character's code point | `U+202E`, `U+0007`, `U+10FFFF` |
+  | `tag` | the tag's token id | `token 248046` |
+  | any other (the `secret-…` rules) | the secret's prefix from `PREFIXES`, then `…` | `ghp_…`, `-----BEGIN…` |
+
+  So every byte printed is fixed text or a number, and a key, a tag or a control character never
+  reaches the terminal. A flag names its rule only: it matches the normalised text, whose offsets
+  do not point into the input.
+- **The neutralise count** is how many tags `neutralise` would rewrite: every occurrence of every
+  tag in `TAGS`, the same tag twice counted twice, one inside a word counted too.
+- **Exit status**: 0 when no line is printed, 1 when one is. 2 for a usage error, as every `bxctl`
+  command, and for a text that cannot be read (standard input that is not UTF-8, as an argument
+  that is not UTF-8 is already) or a report that cannot be written. So 1 always means a rule
+  fired.
+
+## Files
+
+- Copy, from `docs/plans/M5b/files/` (the same path under it):
+  - the skeleton `crates/bxctl/src/sanitize.rs` (you fill 5 functions in it)
+  - tests: `crates/bxctl/tests/sanitize_check.rs`, `crates/bxctl/tests/sanitize_report.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/bxctl/src/lib.rs` (edit L1), `crates/bxctl/src/cli.rs` (edits C1 to C3),
+  `crates/bxctl/src/main.rs` (edits M1 to M3), `docs/implementer-log.md`.
+- Do not touch: any other source file, any `Cargo.toml`, `crates/bxcore`, the tests in
+  `crates/bxctl/tests/support/`, and in the skeleton anything but the 5 `todo!()` bodies.
+
+## Facts you need
+
+- **No new dependency, no feature.** `bxctl` depends on `bxcore` already. `bxcore::sanitize` is
+  not behind a feature; `bxctl` does not enable `secrets` and must not.
+- **What `bxcore::sanitize` gives** (tasks 03 to 05; do not change it):
+
+  | Name | What it is |
+  |---|---|
+  | `refuse` | `pub fn refuse(text: &str) -> Option<Refusal>`: the first rule broken, in table order |
+  | `Refusal` | `pub struct Refusal { pub rule: &'static str, pub sentence: &'static str, pub at: usize }`; `at` is a byte offset |
+  | `flag` | `pub fn flag(text: &str) -> Option<Flag>`, `pub struct Flag { pub rule: &'static str }` |
+  | `TAGS`, `Tag` | `pub const TAGS: &[Tag]`, `pub struct Tag { pub text: &'static str, pub id: u32 }` |
+
+- **The skeleton's given code**, which you call and must not change: `PREFIXES` (the 16
+  prefixes of the secret rules, and the start of a private-key line; none is the start of
+  another), `report` (the three lines and their format), `run` (prints them, and says whether
+  there was one) and `what` (picks `code_point`, `token` or `prefix` by the rule's name).
+- **The functions you fill, in the order to fill them:**
+
+  | Function | Signature | Called by |
+  |---|---|---|
+  | `parse_sanitize` | `pub fn parse_sanitize(args: &[String]) -> Result<Command, UsageError>` | `cli::parse` (edit C3) |
+  | `code_point` | `fn code_point(text: &str, at: usize) -> String` | `what` |
+  | `token` | `fn token(text: &str, at: usize) -> String` | `what` |
+  | `prefix` | `fn prefix(text: &str, at: usize) -> &'static str` | `what` |
+  | `tag_count` | `fn tag_count(text: &str) -> usize` | `report` |
+
+- **The calls the bodies need**, all in the standard library:
+
+  | Call | Signature, and what it gives |
+  |---|---|
+  | slice patterns in `match` | `match args { [check] if check == "check" => …, [check, text] if check == "check" => …, _ => … }`: `check` and `text` are `&String` |
+  | `str::get` | `text.get(at..) -> Option<&str>`: the rest from byte `at`; `None` off a character boundary or past the end |
+  | `Option::unwrap_or_default` | `Option<&str>` to `&str`, `""` for `None` (never `unwrap`: library code does not panic) |
+  | `str::chars`, `Iterator::next` | `rest.chars().next() -> Option<char>`: the first character |
+  | `Option::and_then` | `text.get(at..).and_then(\|rest\| rest.chars().next())` |
+  | `u32::from`, `format!` | `format!("U+{:04X}", u32::from(c))`: `U+202E`; at least four upper-case hex digits |
+  | `slice::iter`, `Iterator::find` | `TAGS.iter().find(\|tag\| rest.starts_with(tag.text)) -> Option<&Tag>`; `PREFIXES.iter().find(\|prefix\| rest.starts_with(**prefix)) -> Option<&&str>` |
+  | `Option::copied` | `Option<&&'static str>` to `Option<&'static str>` |
+  | `str::matches`, `Iterator::count`, `Iterator::sum` | `text.matches(tag.text).count()`: occurrences, never overlapping; `TAGS.iter().map(\|tag\| …).sum()` |
+
+- **The skeleton compiles as given**, with warnings for the unfilled bodies: unused variables, an
+  unused import (`TAGS`) and a constant never used (`PREFIXES`). They go as you fill the bodies.
+  Until every body is filled, `bxctl sanitize check` panics with `not yet implemented`.

+
+## Steps
+
+- [ ] **1. Copy the given tests.** From the repository root, two commands:
+
+  ```sh
+  cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxctl/tests/sanitize_check.rs crates/bxctl/tests/
+  cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxctl/tests/sanitize_report.rs crates/bxctl/tests/
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **2. See them fail.** Two commands, one per file:
+  - `cargo test -p bxctl --test sanitize_report` does not compile: one `E0432` (unresolved import
+    `bxctl::sanitize`) and two `E0599`
+    (``no variant named `SanitizeCheck` found for enum `bxctl::cli::Command` ``).
+  - `cargo test -p bxctl --test sanitize_check` compiles, and its 8 tests fail: `bxctl` does not
+    know the command yet, so each run prints the usage text and exits 2 where the test wants 0
+    or 1 (`a_usage_error_exits_2` fails because the usage text has no `bxctl sanitize check`).
+- [ ] **3. The module and the edits.** Copy the skeleton, then make edits L1, C1 to C3 and M1 to
+  M3:
+
+  ```sh
+  cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxctl/src/sanitize.rs crates/bxctl/src/
+  ```
+
+  `cargo check -p bxctl`: no error, only the warnings "Facts you need" describes. The command of
+  step 2 now compiles; `sanitize_report` has 10 failing tests and `sanitize_check` 8. Every
+  `sanitize_report` failure is `not yet implemented`; every `sanitize_check` failure is an exit
+  status of 101 (the binary panicked with `not yet implemented`).
+- [ ] **4. Fill the five functions of `sanitize.rs`, one at a time, in this order**, each from its
+  comment, and run `cargo check -p bxctl` after each: `parse_sanitize`, `code_point`, `token`,
+  `prefix`, `tag_count`. Change nothing else in the file.
+- [ ] **5. See them pass.** The command of step 2: `sanitize_check` 8 passed, `sanitize_report` 10
+  passed. Then `cargo test -p bxctl`: every suite passes.
+- [ ] **6. Check.** `git diff --stat -- crates/bxcore '*Cargo.toml'` prints nothing.
+- [ ] **7. Run the gate.** `cargo fmt --all`, then `make gate`, with a shell timeout of 600000 ms.
+  Expected last line: `gate: ok`, with 1099 tests: 1081 before this task, plus 8 in
+  `sanitize_check.rs` and 10 in `sanitize_report.rs`.
+- [ ] **8. Log and commit.** `git status --short` lists `crates/bxctl/src/lib.rs`,
+  `crates/bxctl/src/cli.rs` and `crates/bxctl/src/main.rs` as modified, and
+  `crates/bxctl/src/sanitize.rs` and the two test files as new, besides your log. Stage with
+  `git add crates/bxctl docs/implementer-log.md Cargo.lock`, then commit as `AGENTS.md` says.
+  `Cargo.lock` does not change in this task; the `git add` is harmless.
+
+## Done when
+
+- `make gate` prints `gate: ok` with 1099 tests.
+- `git diff HEAD~1 --stat` lists only `crates/bxctl/src/lib.rs`, `crates/bxctl/src/cli.rs`,
+  `crates/bxctl/src/main.rs`, `crates/bxctl/src/sanitize.rs`, the two new test files and
+  `docs/implementer-log.md`.
+
+## Stop and report if
+
+- A "before" block of L1, C1 to C3 or M1 to M3 is not in its file exactly as shown, or is there
+  more than once.
+- Step 2 or 3 shows a different result: other errors, other failing tests, or other counts.
+- `cargo check -p bxctl` reports an error after a body you filled, and the comment does not tell
+  you how to fix it. Quote the error and the comment, and stop.
+- A comment in the skeleton does not fit the code under it. Quote it and stop.
+- After step 5 a test fails although each function follows its comment. Do not open the test to
+  find out why, and do not change a test or the given code of the skeleton: stop, and give the
+  failing tests' names and their messages.
+- The fix seems to need a change anywhere else: in `bxcore`, another file of `bxctl`, or a
+  `Cargo.toml`. It does not; stop and say why you think so.
+- A test outside `bxctl` fails in the gate: check once whether it fails without your change, then
+  stop and report both results.
+- The gate passes with a count other than 1099.
