Details

77. Split the shipped data into Go modules per locale and country, which a library imports by choice, and embed every one in the CLI.

The CLI binary may grow to hundreds of MB. The maintainer decided on 2026-10-04, under goals 2.3, 6.2, 7.3, 9 and 10.1:

• One module per locale, one per country's geo/ tree, and one for misc. A module registers nothing when imported.
• A bare New() loads no data and fails, naming the option to add. WithoutShippedData goes.
• A data module is an fs.FS passed to WithDataFS, as anyone's data is, and New takes several. A module carrying functions loads through an option of its own, so a data module that starts carrying functions breaks its users. Such a function reaches the randomness through an interface the root declares; internal/drawstate's type stays internal.
• A module names, in a manifest, every module it reads by default, directly or through another, so the first error names the whole set to import. A manifest is optional: a --data-path folder without one is a module. A read nothing provides fails, naming the module that provides that path by default or saying none does. Nothing loads a default on its own, and anything providing the same paths stands in.
• A module's manifest names the fejkdata version it was built for, and a mismatch fails in New, naming the go get line that aligns them. Each shipped module requires the core at its own version.
• Every shipped module releases in lockstep, under one version number, so the README's one version still covers the library, the CLI and the data. CI cuts one tag per module per release, which revises the decision "The changelog heading is the one spelling of a release; CI cuts the tag".
• Two sources defining one name fail to load, unless an option says the second replaces the first; every read of that name, a shipped module's included, then reads the second. In the CLI, a flag standing on its own, benched with the data and hand fixture authors, does the same for a --data-path, so flags still go anywhere on the line. This revises the decisions "A --data-path override rebinds every reference to the category it replaces" and "With only the shipped set, a category loads on the first call reaching it; beside a --data-path, every category loads in New".
• The builtins stay in fejkdata itself. A module's function asks for the inputs it needs through one generic mechanism, and gets the randomness and the date the generator uses. The README asks for functions with no side effects of their own.
• The CLI is a library call. One exported list names every shipped module, and fejkdata's own main passes it to that call. The list lives where no library user's module graph pulls in every shipped module, and the architect places it. A custom CLI is the same few lines with other modules added, and no code exists only for custom CLIs. A README section shows it with example code, and the README's Library quick start shows the whole import block for one locale. The README's Versioning section gives each module's tag spelling, and says to pin every fejkdata module at one version.

Split it into items before starting. Before the module API ships, a panel of the README's audience personas tries pulling in data with it.

78. Ship 10% of every place's streets, at least 10, and 10% of all US places drawn by population, each place weighted by population.

Needs item 77. Ten streets per place crowds 500 Stockholm customers onto ten streets. geo-se.py and geo-us.py keep 10% of each place's streets, at least 10. geo-us.py draws 10% of every Census place, down to the smallest village, picking each with odds by population, and every table weights a place by its population, so a draw is not mostly tiny villages. Replaces the decision "The default embed holds every Swedish postort the import can place and give a street-delivery code and a street, and the US places of 25,000 or more", which the maintainer withdrew on 2026-10-03. Re-pin seeded output and the shape in their own commits.

61. Add a locale, with its geo/ tree, for each of the ten most-spoken languages and each Nordic country.

Pick the ten from a published ranking of languages by total speakers, such as Ethnologue's, each in the country where it has the most speakers, and record the ranking in the decision that names them. The Nordic ones are sv_SE (shipped), nb_NO, da_DK, fi_FI and is_IS. A second country reading GeoNames' postal codes moves geonames() from geo-se.py, and the nearest-centroid street assignment in its streets(), into geo.py. Each locale carries goal 2.2's categories, and its address reads its country's geo/ tree by reference. rows.Pins holds eight pins inline, sized for a five-deep geo tree; a deeper tree needs more to keep a render off the heap.

16. Add the remaining locale categories: company, phone, finance, vehicle, words.

129. Take a template wherever fejkdata renders, so fejkdata '{/sv_SE.person}', fake:"{/sv_SE.person.first}" and Fake("{/sv_SE.person}") render, and text with no {…} prints as written.

Goal 5.9. Today a path is a second spelling of the template that reads it; afterwards only the template remains.

• A lone reference, a template of one reference token and nothing else, is what it references, as a record column reading one reference already is. --format json '{/users}' prints the columns of users, and --format csv '{/misc.territory[SE]}' that row. Under --format sql the default --table is the reference's last segment with selectors removed, taken from the library's parse of the reference, territory for {/misc.territory[SE]}, where today a template defaults to records.
• Fake and FakeRecord take a template. FakeTemplate folds into Fake, FakeRecordTemplate into FakeRecord, and IsTemplate goes, with grammar.IsTemplate and the lone-reference refusal.
• Fake of a lone reference costs what Fake of its path costs today, and the allocation gate holds a case for it.
• List and --list give each entry as the template that renders it, {/sv_SE.person}.
• Text that is not a JSON value and holds no {…} prints as written (goal 5.1), in the CLI, a string field's struct tag and Fake alike: fejkdata sv_SE.person prints sv_SE.person. CHANGELOG.md says that a path with no {…} prints as its text. A struct tag's - still skips its field.
• Where text with no {…} is refused, as a record or in a typed struct field, and it spells a path the data offers, the error names {/that.path}.
• An unknown reference exits 2, where an unknown path exits 1 today.
• The README's CLI section gives one line per shell family, PowerShell and cmd.exe included, showing how to quote a template.
• This revises the decisions "An argument is a template by its shape, not by a flag", "FakeTemplate and NewTemplate both stay", "--list stays a plain list of paths", and the exit-1 rule for an unknown path in "An inline template that does not compile is misuse (exit 2), including a reference that resolves to nothing". The README's examples and exit codes, the godoc examples in doc.go, the CLI's usage text and header comment, and CHANGELOG.md's entries move to the template spelling. Delete items 40 and 110, which this closes.

Split it into items for the CLI, struct tags and the library before starting.

57. Rewrite CHANGELOG.md's [Unreleased] as what v0.1.0 holds.

Nothing has shipped, so "no longer paths", "where it used to fail" and "where it used to be an empty string" describe versions no reader can have installed.

96. Refuse two reads into one sibling, category or struct category that no name joins, {place.postal-code} {place.locality}, showing the spelling for one pick and the one for two.

Asked of the maintainer by the product-owner pass of the chunk that made every {…} draw afresh. Since every {…} draws afresh, {net} x {qty} = {calc(net * qty, 2)}, {place.postal-code} {place.locality} and struct tags sv_SE.address.street beside sv_SE.address.postal-code load and may render a pair that disagrees, and nothing tells the author to bind a name (goal 4.1). Goal 5.6 asks such a template to fail, showing {place as p}{p.postal-code} {p.locality} for one place and two names for two. The decision "Every {…} draws afresh, and only a name keeps a pick" lists the draw checks as names, paths through names, cycles and the repeat cap, so this fence revises it. {w} {w}, one spelling twice, stays two draws. The maintainer answered yes on 2026-10-05, for reads inside one category or one struct; reads across categories, {/city.name}, {/country.name}, keep loading.

153. Run the nine-seat comprehension panel and the scoring run again once items 145 to 152 and item 10 have merged, and file what the panel names.

The decision "comprehension floor: every dimension and the overall at 7.0 or above" holds the scores this run is measured against.

89. Fail New without WithSeed, naming the option, and seed the CLI from the system.

Goal 10.1 has the caller supply the seed, and today New without WithSeed seeds itself. This item ships in 0.1.0 beside item 77, so New breaks once before anyone depends on it. Mark WithSeed required in the Library section's options table. Its tests then stop swapping randomBytes, as fejkdata_test.go does today, which fails every New in the package while that test runs.

145. Move doc.go's definitions of a level, a pick key and an addressed key, with their worked example, to pickKey in pick.go, and gather levelKeys, addressedKeys, renderEnv.keeps and readField's kept read beside readUnder, so a reader follows a named read in one file.

All 13 seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967 again named the named-pick read path hardest, and twelve kept doc.go's vocabulary open beside pick.go, env.go and namefence.go to follow it. Load builds a pick key in levelKeys (arm.go) and addressedKeys (name.go), and render builds the same key in keeps (env.go) and readUnder (pick.go); five seats named the two sides agreeing by hand as the unit they least want to change. readUnder's loop stops one level short and its next line builds that level's key the same way, which one seat searched for a difference. Update the README's Layout block, and leave doc.go a one-line entry per term naming pickKey.

127. Give a Swedish street only postal codes whose delivery digit means street or rural delivery, dropping codes whose delivery digit is 9, or record why they stay.

docs/research/research-geo-se.md reads delivery digit 0 or 1 as boxes, 2–4 and 6–7 as street, 5 as rural, 8 as reply mail and 9 as competitions or temporary, with exceptions in big cities. street_delivery drops 0, 1 and 8 and keeps 9. The panel of 2026-10-05 found it; whether a shipped street carries a 9 code is unchecked.

110. Refuse an empty segment in a path Fake, FakeRecord and the CLI take, as a reference does: sv_SE.person. reports path has an empty segment.

Today fejkdata 'sv_SE.person.' reports no field "", while {/sv_SE.person.} reports path has an empty segment. grammar.CheckSegments is the check a reference, a sibling path and a step up .. run.

10. Test that every node kind reaches each switch over node kinds.

Today nine, from render to columnItems, must agree, and only render and renderEdges say so. Three architect seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967 named the switches kept in step by hand.

148. State in geo.py the locality row each country's script hands it, and meet the fence that every parent row has a child row in one shared step.

Needed by item 61. The extender seat of the 2026-10-07 panel on ad59967, reading for item 61, rebuilt the row's keys, name, municipality, population, lat, lon and codes, from geo-se.py and geo-us.py side by side. It found the fence met two ways: geo-se.py's main exits on a kommun with no locality, while geo-us.py's main prunes counties and regions left with none.

146. Move sharedPaths and subPaths from list.go beside carriedByAll in path.go, and join beside sortedNames in sorted.go.

Three architect seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967 found that sharedPaths fills choice.shared in node.go, which carriedByAll reads to accept or refuse every path through a choice, so List's file decides which paths compile; join serves list.go, data.go, graph.go and path.go.

147. Rename namedNode, compiledPath.level and checkCells, so "named" means bound to a name, "level" means only a prefix of a read's path, and checkCells' new name says it compiles.

namedNode in graph.go is a child and its segment, beside namedRead and namedPick, which go through a bound name; compiledPath.level is an error's label, where a level is a prefix of a read's path; checkCells compiles each cell and stores it in cellTemplates. Three seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967 named the first two, and four named checkCells.

151. Load a caller's path and walk it in one Generator method, so no entry point walks the root before the shipped category the path names has loaded.

Fake and FakeRecord each call loadShippedAt before they walk, and its doc asks the next entry point to do the same. The greenfield architect of the 2026-10-07 panel on ad59967 named it the one corner a new senior would break without warning. A test passing WithDataPath would not catch it, because then New loads every category.

149. Say in one line what config.load does and what the 64-bit assertion asserts, beside their decision links.

Five seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967 met a bare decision link where a definition belonged: config.load in fejkdata.go has only the link as its doc, and var _ [^uint(0)>>63 - 1]struct{} only a link beside it.

150. Move columnRead and columnReadOf from resolve.go into datatype.go, and state at template.readsColumn that renderLeaf, proveColumnItem and itemDatatype change with it.

Two seats of the 2026-10-07 scoring run on ad59967 found readsColumn changing what renderLeaf, proveColumnItem and itemDatatype do, and found that by grep; columnReadOf, which sets it, sits in resolve.go, apart from all three.

152. Delete the doc lines that restate their code.

Named by seats of the 2026-10-07 panel and scoring run on ad59967: Children in internal/rows/rows.go, spelled in name.go, the line in graph.go saying a folder has no edges, the Dockerfile's "Module layer cached separately from source." and compose.yaml's "Interactive shell for ad-hoc work".

58. Ship prebuilt binaries, a container image, and packages for Homebrew, Scoop and the biggest Linux package managers, so the CLI needs no Go.

GoReleaser attaches the binaries to the release the tag workflow publishes, and builds deb and rpm packages, an Alpine APK and an AUR package beside Homebrew and Scoop. A checkout build prints devel for --version; the binaries carry the stamped tag. v0.1.0 ships first, so it can be tested before it is packaged.

113. Draw {iban(CC)} with its country's national check digits, and SE's with a real bank's id, so a validator checking more than mod 97 accepts it.

iban in internal/builtinfunc/checksum.go draws a random numeric BBAN and sets only the mod-97 digits. BE's last two digits are the first ten mod 97, NO carries a mod-11 account check digit, FI a Luhn digit, ES two control digits, and SE's three-digit bank id must be a real bank's (docs/research/research-sources-se.md). Goal 4 asks for the check the real system applies; the README's {iban(CC)} row promises only length and mod 97, and changes with it.

26. Spell sv_SE.personnummer with the + Skatteverket uses from the year the holder turns 100, judged by a date the caller gives.

The format hard-codes -, and its earliest birthdate, 1930-01-01, makes the oldest draws invalid from 2030. A system holding Swedish personnummer often breaks on the +, so a fixture carrying one is a valuable test. Whether a number takes + depends on the date it is read, and the decision "No builtin reads the clock, so a date is bounded by days, never by an age" forbids a builtin from reading that date off the clock. This item revises it: once the caller gives the date, an age is a bound, and the CLI's default date makes output change with the day it runs unless the flag is given. Do the first step before the rest:

• Explore how a caller passes input data, such as the date a number is read on, to a render: in the template, as a plain option, or both. Make the library require the date, as item 89 makes it require the seed, and let the CLI default it to the system's when its flag is absent. Bench the spelling; --now reads like the clock. Shape the input so it can later narrow the draws to adults, children, 65 and over, or a mix, and so let a test ask for a centenarian; narrowing itself waits for its own item.
• Draw birthdates back past 100 years before the given date, so a + can appear. Read in 2026, the oldest shipped birthdate is 96 years old, so no draw carries a + until 2030. Skatteverket's test series reaches back to 1890, with birth numbers 980/981 before 1900. Draw no birthdate after the given date.
• Weight the ages by the territory's population, so the share of + numbers follows its demography: research-age-bands.md.
• Let a data author's own category spell the separator too, through a builtin or a function a data module provides (item 77), and update the README's personnummer recipe and its "a day in 1930–2025" count.
• Rewrite the README's --seed and WithSeed rows to goal 10's wording, and name the new required option in the changelog: New breaks a second time here, after item 89, as the maintainer accepted.
• Research: sv_SE.samordningsnummer also hard-codes - and draws from 1930. Check whether Lag (2022:1697) om samordningsnummer gives it the same +; folkbokföringslagen 18 § states the rule for personnummer only.

34. Add {isin()}, {cusip()}, {aba()} and {vin()}.

isin: Luhn over letters expanded to digits. aba: 3-7-1 weights. vin: position 9 over the whole; a sample taking the WMI, since the check sits mid-string.

81. Refuse at load every calc operand not proven numeric and every divisor not proven nonzero, in a string column too.

The decision "A constant zero divisor is a load error; in a string column a divisor that is not constant prints Inf" lets {calc(a/(b*c))} with b fixed at "0" write Inf into every row. An operand that is sometimes not a number prints NaN. Both work against goals 6.1 and 4. valueproof.go already proves a typed column's divisor nonzero. Once every operand is proven, neverNumeric and constantValue in calc.go go, and with them their reading of NaN and Inf as numbers, which proven.Literal refuses: calc reads text as a number one way.

91. Accept a path through a name as a calc operand, so {/misc.coordinate as c}{c}: {calc(c.lat * 60)} computes from the coordinate {c} prints.

A calc operand parses as a bare identifier, so {calc(c.lat * 60)} fails with unexpected ".lat * 60", and a second binding of /misc.coordinate.lat would draw another coordinate. Resolve the path through compileArm's leaves, as operandNodes does for a bare name.

36. Report every mistake a load finds in one error, as the decision "A load reports every mistake at once" states.

New and NewTemplate stop at the first, so data holding two mistakes takes two runs to fix. Split it into items before starting, one of them the shape a Go caller iterates and the CLI prints, and the order of an inline template's mistakes, which name no path; reword the README's "New refuses a mistake in the data" to every mistake.

88. Add a 12-digit YYYYMMDDNNNC form of sv_SE.personnummer and sv_SE.samordningsnummer, the form Skatteverket's testpersonnummer series and many systems store.

A system that stores the 12-digit form never meets the +, so it needs a fixture in that form.

41. Key every table by one key column, as the decision "A table selects by one key column, a code, never a free-form name" states.

geo.SE.municipality[Lund] and misc.territory[Sweden] select a row today. Steps:

• Have a selector that misses name the key of every row whose cell spells it, matched without case, else say the table selects by its key: misc.territory[Sweden] and misc.territory[se] name [SE], misc.protocol[tcp] its key, and misc.loglevel[Error] [err].
• Delete the name option and the load checks it carries, and have New refuse a table still carrying name, naming key.
• Key misc.loglevel on keyword, and geo.SE.locality on the integer data-import/geo-se.py assigns as the decision states, linking street and postal-code by it.
• Drop key from last-name and sv_SE.title, and re-pin testdata/shipped_shape.txt.
• Leave no selection by name in README.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/ or --help.

52. Name the file a link error comes from beside its category path, sub.x (/d/a/sub/x.json): ….

With several --data-path layers the author has to work out which directory won, while a parse error on the same file names it.

117. List the fields of what a path has reached when its next segment names one that is not there: {/word as a}{a.zz} reports no field "zz"; word has w.

Today the refusal names only the missing field, so a data author fixing a typo opens the category to find the spelling. Item 92 covers the hyphenated calc operand only.

28. Accept a middle name, and draw a personnummer whose sex matches a sex selected through a named pick.

Today personnummer draws its own sex, so a name and a number agree only through the README Data section's template, which reads both through one bound sex.

24. Stop misc.territory[EH].tld rendering .eh, the one shipped TLD misc.tld does not hold.

ISO 3166 reserves it for Western Sahara and the root zone has never been delegated it, so no resolver answers for it.

92. Name the hyphenated field in a calc's refusal, and say to rename it: today {calc(postal-code * 2)} reports no field "postal".

A hyphen is always subtraction in a calc, and the shipped data has hyphenated fields (postal-code and street-number in geo/SE/address). The refusal names the first fragment, not the field the author meant.

53. Let a table column carry a datatype, so --format json writes "safe": true and --format sql a boolean.

Today only a JSON field takes one, so misc.httpmethod's booleans are typed in Go and text everywhere else. Typing a shipped column changes what json and sql write, so the capability is a minor and applying it to misc.httpmethod is a major.

44. Have misc.tld[se] select the row keyed .se, or have its miss name [.se].

The decision "misc.tld keys carry the leading dot, where other tables key on a bare code" leaves misc.tld[se] missing today.

54. Read the tag through git/ref/tags/{tag} in publish_release.py.

GitHub answers tags/{tag} with 404 whatever exists, so the burnt-version guard never fires and a release lands on a tag already pointing at another commit.

31. Rename misc.territory.country to sovereign.

It holds a code, and country collides with the misc.country path it replaced.

20. Weight sv_SE.sex and en_US.sex by bearers, as the README's Data section says they are.

Neither names a weight, so a bare sex draws evenly.

50. Reword prove's refusal of a typed column reading a row, {/region}.

Say the format is the table's own (region's format "{name}"), name the read to write, {/region.<column>} with its columns, and stop calling a one-column format, {code}, composed text.

17. Give every shipped category a column for each part its format composes, and one record shape across the national ids; re-pin the shape.

misc.uuid gains variant, for one.

29. Let a path go from a selected row into the template beside its family: geo.US.locality[1714000].address.

Require the path step to reach a sibling category.

42. Refuse a struct tag's datatype naming the Go type that sets it before proving its values, as the README's Library section promises.

datatype: boolean over {int(1,2)} on an int field answers prints an integer, not a boolean.

22. Give url and email a path that draws only domains nobody can register, keeping the wide set as the default.

17 of the 40 distinct ones shipped today sit on .se, .nu, .io and .co, which anyone may register, and only RFC 2606's example.com, .net, .org, .test, .example, .invalid and .localhost provably reach nothing.

46. Report the same error every load for a table with two bad options, and for a folder with two unnamed rows files.

readTableOptions in table.go and walkDir in internal/datafiles return on the first in Go's map order.

79. Beside a --data-path, load in New the user's categories, the shipped ones they override or read, and the shipped ones whose reads reach an overridden one; load the rest on first reach.

Needs item 77, which makes an override fail unless it says it replaces.

The decision "With only the shipped set, a category loads on the first call reaching it; beside a --data-path, every category loads in New" parses the whole shipped set on every --data-path run, about 45 ms today and seconds once items 61 and 78 land. Goal 6 needs only the user's categories, the shipped ones they override, the shipped ones they read, and the shipped ones whose reads reach an overridden category, so the index would carry each category's reads.

107. Move the template engine into internal/, leaving the root the public API and its options.

The engine returns column values and the root builds Record. Revises the decision "The template engine stays the root package until item 107; what reads no engine type, a table's rows included, sits in internal/", and, if the vocabulary moves, "The vocabulary sits below doc.go's package clause, not in the package doc".

112. Check a calc's field operands where its template resolves, beside its name operands, once item 36 reports every mistake at once.

Needs item 36. checkCalcFields runs at compile and checkCalcNames in resolveTemplates, two passes over one rule. Moving the field check there before item 36 would change which of two mistakes in two category files a load reports, since every category compiles before any resolves.

94. Refuse a name whose every read passes one deeper level, naming the binding of that level: {place as p}{p.geo.town.name} {p.geo.town.zip} is {place.geo.town as t}{t.name} {t.zip}.

Both spellings load and draw alike, against goal 5.7. Widen the read-once refusal in namefence.go to the longest prefix every read of a name shares.

108. Name item 26 in the decision "No builtin reads the clock, so a date is bounded by days, never by an age", as the item that ends its conflict with goal 4.

Item 26 revises the decision, but the decision does not point back to it.

14. Spell misc.creditcard's digit runs {digits(n)}.

A "repeat": 14 over {digits(1)} draws every 14-digit run with the odds {digits(14)} does. Both load, since neither has a part that changes nothing; the shipped data writes the obvious one. Re-pin seeded output in its own commit.

38. Compare calcParser.binary's operator as a rune.

byte(p.rs[p.pos]) reads U+012B ī as +, so {calc(a ī b)} compiles as a + b.

45. Name the node a selector follows in childNamed's refusal.

sv_SE.person[1].first answers 1 is not a table.

49. Report a CRLF rows file holding only its header as having no rows.

parseRows answers "line 2 is empty".

13. Place xlsx cells by their r reference in data-import/xlsx.py.

A sheet omitting an empty cell shifts every later column left.

39. Stop the columnKinds suggestion naming a field's own kind or a narrower one.

An int64 or float64 field unproven in range is told to become itself, and a uint64 one to become int64.

51. Spell a table one way across the errors that name it.

In internal/rows, Pins.PinRow names t.path and Pins.MustRow panics with t.segment, so one table is territory and misc.territory, and the short spelling names no file where two folders hold that name.

115. Spell a rows file's line one way in every error, naming the file.

Today a cell reads g.t.b, line 3 (namedNode.labelIn), a cell check t.tsv: line 3, b (checkCells) and a link t.tsv line 3 (rows.Table.Link). A reference cycle found from a table's format through a cell names no line at all: reference cycle: g.t -> format -> b -> b -> /h -> …, where the column-to-cell step in renderEdges repeats the column name.

11. Test that every geo tree holds the five table names and the address columns that port across countries.

Nothing checks it, and a new country breaks it silently.

40. Parse defaultTable's path with the library's grammar.

The CLI counts brackets of its own, so a change to the selector grammar desyncs the default --table silently.

86. Read both en_US.phone formats' area codes from one category, as their exchange reads en_US.phone-exchange.

Both phone formats carry the same 21-code area list, so an edit to one copy can miss the other.

23. Give every other shipped category that could reach something real a path that never does.

phone draws live PTS and NANP ranges — PTS's five fiction series are the Swedish inert set, sourced in research-sources-se.md, and the NANP one still wants a source — and bankgiro, plusgiro and routing draw live prefixes.

75. Run every README sh, go and text example as a test, and compare each "Renders" line to a seeded render.

readme_test.go loads and renders each json block, but runs no sh example (CLI, Records, Table, Linked tables), no go example (Library) and no text block of error text, and compares no "Renders e.g." output, so goal 12.2 is not met.

47. Refuse a category naming a hidden rows file, "rows": ".x.tsv", as a rows file that is not there.

internal/datafiles indexes hidden TSVs in newRowsFiles and skips them in walkDir, so one loads where its comment says a hidden file is never data.

72. Fail the merge gate when test coverage falls below the last recorded figure.

technical-principles.md holds that test coverage should not decline. docker compose run --rm cover prints the figure, and neither the Dockerfile gate nor .github/workflows/test.yml checks it.

43. Call templateError a compile failure in its doc.

Its doc says render failure, and it wraps what NewTemplate and NewRecordTemplate refuse.

95. Hold a struct's columns and the field each fills in one slice.

structShape.fieldIndexes pairs with its record template's columns by index alone, against the technical principle "one owner per value".

116. Turn a row index into its rows file's line in one function.

Today namedNode's cell line in graph.go, table.checkCells and each site in internal/rows add the header line and the one-based count.

56. Build on a manual run of test.yml.

workflow_dispatch leaves github.event.before empty, so the diff compares HEAD with itself and skips docker build.

109. Indent every script under data-import/ with hard tabs, as AGENTS.md requires and release-tooling/ does.

Technical principle: indent with hard tabs. All 19 scripts indent with four spaces, so an edit there either keeps the wrong style or rewrites the whole file.

63. Pair a street with its exact postnummer.

Needs an application to Lantmäteriet; today a street goes to the nearest postal code centroid. It rewrites shipped rows, so it is a major once 1.0 is cut and a minor before that.

62. Add {btc()} and {eth()}.

They need sha256 and keccak for Base58Check and EIP-55.

59. Promise in Generator's godoc that its renders run one at a time.

A caller wanting parallel throughput then makes one generator per goroutine.

65. Hold every change AGENTS.md says owes a CHANGELOG.md entry to one in CI.

The check covers data and testdata/shipped_shape.txt alone, where AGENTS.md adds a flag, an exit code, an exported name, a fence, a builtin and the lowest Go.

66. Cut the README's Layout block to the lines that say what a file name cannot.

doc.go and cmd/fejkdata/ restate their names.

67. Cut AGENTS.md to the rules only it states, and explain every term its comprehension rule uses.

The gh rule opens by restating the decision "GitHub is canonical, and the module path names it", a second copy that drifts. The comprehension rule packs the gate, its exceptions, the round and the at-or-above-7.0 regime into one line, and uses "depth 1", "nine-seat", "four-seat" and "answers it in one run" without saying what they mean.

64. Give every entry in docs/decisions.md the goal it serves, its date, who made it and the premise it rests on.

Propose a goal for an entry that serves none.

68. Make gitea.larvit.se/larvit/fejkdata a pull mirror of GitHub.

Gitea converts a repository to a mirror only by re-creating it, so until that runs the copy there is a second owner of one history.

69. Announce v1.0.0 where a developer choosing a fake-data tool already reads, with a README first screen for someone deciding in a minute.

The human cuts v1.0.0 once the shipped data is in its record shape and one full minor has shipped with no breaking change, per the README's Versioning table; pairing a street with its exact postnummer rewrites shipped rows, so a minor with no breaking change follows it first.
