registry_paths_resolve

A manifest file enumerates path entries; each must resolve to an on-disk artefact. extract pulls the entry list via a structured query (toml / json / yaml RFC 9535 JSONPath), a line list (lines, optional comment prefix), or a regex capture (regex, group 1). expect (any / file / dir) and must_contain constrain the resolved kind; exclude_query subtracts entries; entries_are_globs expands each entry as a glob. Non-literal entries (interpolation / antiquotation) are skipped, not failed. Optional orphans adds the reverse-completeness check: on-disk artefacts under the space glob that no entry references (the “new crate not wired into the workspace” detector). Cross-file: reads one manifest, resolves against the file index.

Options

Option	Type	Required	Default	Description
base	string			Resolve entries relative to: registry_dir (default), lint_root, or an explicit path.
entries_are_globs	boolean			Expand each extracted entry as a glob rather than treating it as a single literal path; a glob that matches nothing is a violation.
exclude_query	string			A structured query selecting entries to subtract from the extracted list before resolution is checked.
expect	one of any | file | dir			Constrain the kind each entry must resolve to on disk: any (default), file, or dir.
extract	object	yes		Exactly one of: toml/json/yaml (RFC 9535 JSONPath string), lines (object; optional comment prefix, default #), regex (string; capture group 1 is the path).
must_contain	string			When an entry resolves to a directory, that directory must contain this named child (e.g. Cargo.toml), else the entry is a violation.
orphans	object			Enable the reverse-completeness check: on-disk artefacts under the space glob that no entry references (the “new crate not wired into the workspace” detector).
source	string	yes		The manifest/registry file (path, or a glob to run once per matching manifest) that enumerates the path entries.
