fix(supply-chain): trust our own crates instead of exempting them - #7
Merged
Conversation
ADR-0018 ranks the four cargo-vet mechanisms and states that reaching for a
weaker one is a defect. These crates are ours, consumed from crates.io, so
case 2 applies: a publisher-trust entry under h4x0r (user-id 347968), not an
exemption.
The distinction is semantic, not cosmetic. An exemption asserts "unreviewed,
accepted anyway"; a trust entry asserts "the publisher is ours". Recording our
own crates as unreviewed-but-tolerated misstated the supply-chain posture in
the direction of false comfort. A trust entry is also version-agnostic, so it
does not go stale on the next bump the way a pinned exemption does.
Exemption -> trust:
- blob-decoder
- forensic-carve
- forensicnomicon
- forensicnomicon-core
- forensicnomicon-data
- protobuf-forensic-core
Verified (config change, so the vet run is the test):
Vetting Succeeded (6 fully audited, 143 exempted)
WARN Your supply-chain has unnecessary exemptions which could be relaxed or pruned.
WARN Consider running `cargo vet prune` to prune unnecessary exemptions and imports.
