Cargo Make Protocol (80/20 Edition)
Golden Rule
bash
ALWAYS: cargo make [target] NEVER: cargo [command]
Direct cargo bypasses timeouts, quality gates, andon signals.
Quick Reference
Fast Feedback (<20s)
bash
cargo make check # Compile (<5s) cargo make test-unit # Unit tests (<16s) cargo make lint # Clippy (<60s)
Pre-Commit
bash
cargo make pre-commit # fmt + lint + test (<2min)
Full Validation
bash
cargo make test # All tests (<30s) cargo make ci # Full CI pipeline cargo make slo-check # Verify SLOs
SLO Targets
| Target | SLO | Escalation |
|---|---|---|
| check | <5s | 30s |
| test-unit | <16s | 150s |
| test | <30s | 120s |
| lint | <60s | - |
| pre-commit | <2min | - |
Andon Signals
| Signal | Trigger | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 RED | error[E...], FAILED | STOP - fix now |
| 🟡 YELLOW | warning:, clippy:: | Investigate |
| 🟢 GREEN | test result: ok | Continue |
Three-Layer Validation
bash
# Layer 1: Compile cargo make check && cargo make lint # Layer 2: Test cargo make test # Layer 3: Runtime (catches fake greens) cargo make verify-cli
Common Workflows
Development Cycle
bash
cargo make check # After changes cargo make pre-commit # Before commit cargo make ci # Before push
Quality Audit
bash
cargo make test-audit # Mutation testing cargo make detect-gaps # Coverage gaps cargo make audit-all # Security
Release
bash
cargo make release-validate # 8 FMEA gates cargo make release # Build + deploy
Prohibited Patterns
bash
# ❌ WRONG cargo check cargo test cargo clippy # ✅ CORRECT cargo make check cargo make test cargo make lint
Best Practices
- •Always cargo make - never direct cargo
- •Receipt-based - evidence not narrative
- •Three-layer validation - compile → test → runtime
- •Respect andon signals - RED = stop
- •SLO enforcement - timeouts prevent hangs
Constitutional: cargo make [target] ONLY | Receipts replace review | Andon = stop-the-line
