Summary

  • add a standalone safe-Rust XSLT 1.0 engine with XPath, EXSLT, serialization, resolver, clock, and typed budget contracts
  • provide the bounded XSLT capability boundary needed for XML-security policy integration while replacing the remaining quick-xml paths with shared bounded XML input handling
  • vendor the complete pinned libxslt oracle corpus and safe DOM/XPath foundations, with standards-backed strict behavior and explicit compatibility cases
  • add backend, encoding, no-std, CI, release, documentation, and reviewer fixture-scope support required by the complete feature

Validation

  • cargo nextest run --workspace --all-features (3037 passed)
  • cargo test --workspace --all-features --doc (15 passed)
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --workspace --all-features
  • cargo check --workspace --all-targets --all-features
  • alloc-only host and thumbv7em-none-eabihf checks

Closes #141

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added safe XML input handling with encoding detection, transcoding, validation, and bounded decoding.
    • Added an XSLT 1.0 compiler and runtime with XPath support, serialization, external-resource controls, execution budgets, and extension policies.
    • Added byte-based XML parsing APIs and configurable namespace-binding limits.
    • Added support for publishing workspace support crates.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved certificate revocation checks, encoding-limit reporting, XML escaping, and language matching.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded usage, interoperability, standards, and XSLT documentation.
  • Tests
    • Added comprehensive compatibility coverage using the libxslt test corpus and expanded CI validation.

Implement the standalone bounded XSLT 1.0 engine, shared XML input layer, complete pinned interoperability corpus, and the required integration, documentation, CI, and no_std validation paths.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared XML input and lexical writing crates, a safe XSLT 1.0 engine, vendored safe DOM/XPath implementations, namespace and decoding limits, XML security adapter updates, compatibility fixtures, and CI/release integration.

Changes

XML platform and XSLT engine

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository contracts and integration
.github/workflows/*, Cargo.toml, README.md, scripts/*, docs/*
The workspace, documentation, standards metadata, CI jobs, release publishing, and fixture-management scripts are updated.
Shared XML input and lexical writer
crates/xml-sec-xml-input/*
The new crate validates XML syntax, names, references, namespaces, encodings, decoded sizes, and writer state.
XSLT runtime contracts and execution
crates/xml-sec-xslt/*
The new crate exposes budgets, resolvers, execution environments, XPath expression helpers, EXSLT date functions, values, and serialization APIs.
Policy-aware XML parsing
src/document.rs, src/encoding.rs, src/policy.rs, src/xml/dom/*
XML parsing uses shared decoding and lexical events, tracks namespace bindings, enforces typed limits, and reports equivalent backend errors.
Vendored safe DOM and XPath implementations
vendor/sxd-document-no-unsafe/*, vendor/sxd-xpath-no-unsafe/*
The vendored crates add safe DOM storage, namespace-aware writers, XPath parsing and evaluation, metering, and integration tests.
XML security and CLI adapters
src/xmldsig/*, src/xmlenc/encrypt.rs, tools/xmlsec1/*
Security and CLI paths use shared lexical writing and bounded decoding. XMLDSig mutation uses lexical range splicing. CRL issuer validation checks version-dependent cRLSign authorization.
libxslt oracle harness
crates/xml-sec-xslt/tests/*, crates/xml-sec-xslt/tests/fixtures/*
The pinned libxslt corpus is imported, confined, prepared, executed, normalized, and compared across 554 cases.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aefcb

The change adds bounded XML and XSLT processing capabilities, including safe DOM namespace visitation behavior. No concrete merge-blocking correctness, security, or runtime risk remains identified.

Explanation

The changes clearly add the standalone XSLT crate, XPath and XML foundations, budgets, resolver contracts, serialization, EXSLT support, interoperability fixtures, and integration support. The provided summaries do not verify every required XSLT instruction, declaration, and acceptance test from issue [#141].

Resolution

Provide implementation and test evidence for all required XSLT 1.0 instructions and declarations, template conflict resolution, result-tree fragments, namespace fixup, whitespace handling, keys, numbering, sorting, serialization behavior, independent crate builds, and required workspace, feature, clippy, unit, integration, and doctest checks.

- Around line 330-337: Update try_visit_element_namespace_declarations in the
safe backend to collect namespace declarations into a temporary snapshot before
invoking callbacks, releasing the storage borrow so visitors may mutate the
document. Align the callback contract and namespace_declaration_workspace_bytes
with the snapshot allocation, and add the equivalent reentrancy test to verify
registration during visitation succeeds.

P2 Badge Key module documents by resource identity

When two include/import requests return distinct ResourceIdentity values but the same canonical_uri, this URI-keyed cache retains only the first semantic document even though both modules are compiled from their respective resource bytes. At execution time the stylesheet-document cache is consequently seeded with only the first tree, so an expression in the second module that calls document('') reads the wrong stylesheet document. The resolver contract identifies provenance through ResourceIdentity and does not require canonical URIs to be unique across returned representations; preserve that identity through the module-document and runtime caches, or reject conflicting canonical-URI mappings explicitly.

P2 Badge Meter global-initialization stack growth

When globals form a long dependency chain—especially a circular chain with large QNames—each recursive initialization clones the full ExpandedName into this vector without reserving either the vector capacity or the cloned strings against ExecutionBudget::owned_bytes. The cycle diagnostic then performs additional unmetered collection and joining, so an execution whose owned-byte allowance is already exhausted can still allocate up to the compile-budget-sized names before returning a dynamic error. Reserve and release stack capacity and name storage through the execution meter, and construct the diagnostic within the same bound.

P2 Badge Avoid charging shared namespace storage as a copy

When xsl:copy processes an element with large in-scope namespace bindings, namespaces is an Arc<Vec<Namespace>>, so this clone only increments the reference count and does not allocate another namespace vector or duplicate its strings. Nevertheless, copied_bytes includes all namespace strings and push_node_with_base subsequently charges the vector and those strings through node_kind_owned_bytes, causing ExecutionBudget::owned_bytes to reject transformations whose actual live allocations fit the limit. Charge only the newly cloned name and prefix here, or materialize an actual independently metered namespace copy.
