#### Optimizations:
-None
+1. **[`macros`]** Updated `route!` macro to use `Routable` trait instead of `Grouped` trait for error conversion, making the semantics clearer. The `route!` macro now calls `::mingling::Routable::to_chain(e)` on the error branch instead of `::mingling::Grouped::to_chain(e)`.
+
+ Additionally, `ChainProcess<ThisProgram>` now implements `Routable<ThisProgram>`, allowing `route!` to work with `Result<Ok, ChainProcess<ThisProgram>>` patterns — where the error side is already a `ChainProcess` value that should be routed directly:
+
+ When `ChainProcess` implements `Routable`, `to_chain()` re-routes the inner `AnyOutput` to the chain pipeline (preserving the existing `NextProcess::Chain`/`Renderer` flag), while `to_render()` re-routes it to the render pipeline. This enables seamless propagation of already-routed chain process values through the `route!` macro without double-wrapping.
+
+ The `Routable` trait is defined in `mingling_core::asset::routable` and provides unified routing capabilities (`to_chain` / `to_render`) for any type that can be dispatched into the program's pipeline. A blanket implementation is provided for all `T: Grouped<C> + Send`, ensuring backward compatibility — existing types that implement `Grouped` automatically implement `Routable`.
+
+2. **[`macros`]** Restructured the `mingling_macros` crate's internal module hierarchy. The previously flat module structure has been reorganized into a logical directory-based layout:
+
+ - **`attr/`** — Attribute macro implementations (e.g., `#[chain]`, `#[renderer]`, `#[help]`, `#[completion]`, `#[dispatcher_clap]`, `#[program_setup]`)
+ - **`derive/`** — Derive macro implementations (e.g., `#[derive(Grouped)]`, `#[derive(EnumTag)]`)
+ - **`func/`** — Function-like macro implementations (e.g., `pack!`, `group!`, `dispatcher!`, `suggest!`, `entry!`, `node!`, `gen_program!` and its sub-macros)
+ - **`systems/`** — Cross-cutting systems (e.g., resource injection, dispatch tree generation, structural data derive support)
+ - **`extensions/`** — Extension point mechanism for attribute macros (unchanged)
+ - **`utils.rs`** — Shared utility module for future common helpers
+
+ All public API items (`#[proc_macro]`, `#[proc_macro_derive]`, `#[proc_macro_attribute]`) remain at the crate root (`lib.rs`) with identical signatures. Internal function visibility has been tightened from `pub fn` to `pub(crate) fn` for all module-internal functions that were previously publicly accessible only within the crate.
+
+ _No migration is required for downstream code — all macros are re-exported with the same names and signatures as before._
+
+3. **[`macros`]** Refactored the code generation strategy for `#[chain]`, `#[renderer]`, `#[help]`, and `#[completion]` attribute macros. Instead of inlining the user's function body directly into the generated trait implementation, these macros now **preserve the original user function as a standalone item** and generate trait method implementations that **call the original function by name**, injecting resources from the application context.
+
+ This approach provides several benefits:
+
+ - **Better debugging and error messages** — The user's function exists as a named, callable item. Stack traces, profiler output, and error messages reference the user's function name (e.g., `handle_greet`) rather than an anonymous closure or inlined block, making debugging more intuitive.
+
+ - **Clearer macro expansion** — The generated code maintains a clear separation between the original user function and the trait glue code, reducing the cognitive load when inspecting macro-expanded output.
+
+ _No migration is required for downstream code — the behavior of all four macros is unchanged. This is purely an internal code generation refactoring._

+7. **[`setups`]** Refactored `BasicProgramSetup`, `HelpFlagSetup`, `QuietFlagSetup`, `ConfirmFlagSetup`, `StructuralRendererSetup`, and `StructuralRendererSimpleSetup` into the `picker` subsystem under `mingling::setups::picker`. These setups now use the `arg_picker` (`picker`) chained argument parsing API internally instead of directly manipulating global arguments.
+
+ - The `BasicProgramSetup`, `HelpFlagSetup`, `QuietFlagSetup`, and `ConfirmFlagSetup` structs now use `PickerArg<Flag>` and chained `.pick()` calls to detect flags from the argument list, replacing the previous `global_argument`-based approach.
+ - The `StructuralRendererSetup` struct now uses `PickerArg<Flag>` constants (e.g., `JSON_FLAG`, `YAML_FLAG`) and chained `.pick()` calls to detect format-specifying flags, replacing the previous `global_argument` approach.
+ - The `StructuralRendererSimpleSetup` struct still uses the legacy `global_argument("--renderer", ...)` approach, preserving backward compatibility with the `--renderer <FORMAT>` syntax.
+ - New `PickerArg<Flag>` constants have been added in `mingling::setups::picker::consts`: `HELP_FLAG`, `QUIET_FLAG`, `CONFIRM_FLAG`, `JSON_FLAG`, `JSON_PRETTY_FLAG`, `YAML_FLAG`, `TOML_FLAG`, `RON_FLAG`, and `RON_PRETTY_FLAG`. The format-specific flags are feature-gated behind their respective `json_serde_fmt`, `yaml_serde_fmt`, `toml_serde_fmt`, and `ron_serde_fmt` features.
+ - The module structure is:
+ - `mingling::setups::picker` — re-exports all picker-based setup types
+ - `mingling::setups::picker::basic` — `BasicProgramSetup`, `HelpFlagSetup`, `QuietFlagSetup`, `ConfirmFlagSetup`
+ - `mingling::setups::picker::consts` — reusable `PickerArg<Flag>` constants
+ - `mingling::setups::picker::structural_renderer` — `StructuralRendererSetup`, `StructuralRendererSimpleSetup`
+ - All setup types remain available from `mingling::setups::*` as before — this is purely an internal refactoring; no public API surface changes.
+
+ The `picker` feature must be enabled for these refactored setups to be available. When the feature is disabled, the original implementations (using `global_argument`) remain in effect.
+
+8. **[`core`]** Added `get_args_mut()`, `take_args()`, and `replace_args()` methods to `Program` for more flexible argument manipulation:
+
+ - **`get_args_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [String]`** — Returns a mutable reference to the program's command-line arguments, allowing in-place modification of individual arguments.
+ - **`take_args(&mut self) -> Vec<String>`** — Takes ownership of the program's command-line arguments, replacing them with an empty `Vec`. Useful for transferring arguments to another context or processing them with ownership.
+ - **`replace_args(&mut self, args: Vec<String>) -> Vec<String>`** — Replaces the program's command-line arguments with a new set and returns the old ones. Enables swapping argument sets during program execution.
+
+ These methods complement the existing read-only `get_args(&self)` method, providing full control over argument mutation and ownership.
+
+9. **[`macros:chain`]** Relaxed the `#[chain]` return type validation. Previously, `#[chain]` functions were restricted to returning `Next`, `ChainProcess<ThisProgram>`, `()`, or omitting the return type. Now, any return type is accepted, and the generated `proc` function performs an explicit `Into<ChainProcess<ThisProgram>>` conversion using a fully-qualified turbofish based on the user-declared return type.
+
+ This means `#[chain]` functions can now return any pack type directly, without needing an explicit `.into()` call in the function body:
+
+ ```rust
+ // Before — required explicit .into()
+ #[chain]
+ fn handle_greet(args: EntryGreet) -> Next {
+ let name = /* ... */;
+ ResultGreeting::new(name).into()
+ }
+
+ // After — return any pack type directly
+ #[chain]
+ fn handle_greet(args: EntryGreet) -> ResultGreeting {
+ let name = /* ... */;
+ ResultGreeting::new(name)
+ }
+ ```
+
+ The generated `proc` function now wraps the body result in `<UserReturnType as Into<ChainProcess<ThisProgram>>>::into(...)`, which:
+ - Works for `Next` / `ChainProcess` via the identity `From<T> for T` implementation.
+ - Works for any pack type (`ResultGreeting`, etc.) via the `.into()` conversion generated by `pack!` / `#[derive(Grouped)]`.
+ - Works for `()` via the `From<()>` implementation on `ChainProcess`.
+
+ The return type validation has been removed entirely — any valid Rust return type is accepted. If the type does not implement `Into<ChainProcess<ThisProgram>>`, a standard Rust compilation error will be produced at the call site.
+
+10. **[`macros`]** **[`extensions`]** Added the `extensions` module to `mingling_macros`, providing an extension point mechanism for attribute macros (`#[chain]`, `#[renderer]`, `#[help]`, `#[completion]`). The extension system allows identifiers in the attribute argument to be extracted and processed before the main macro logic runs.
+
+ Each attribute macro now attempts to redispatch through `extensions::try_redispatch_simple()` (or `try_redispatch_completion` for `#[completion]`) before executing its standard logic. If extension identifiers are detected, the call is re-routed so that extensions are applied via additional `#[...]` attributes stacked on top of the inner core attribute. New extensions can be added without modifying the attribute macros themselves — only the `extensions` module needs to be updated to register new identifiers.
+
+ This system is designed for future extensibility: as new cross-cutting concerns (e.g., logging, metrics, validation) are identified, they can be added as simple extension identifiers without touching the core macro logic.
+
+11. **[`extensions`]** **[`macros`]** Added the `#[routeify]` extension attribute macro that transforms `expr?` into `route!(expr)`, enabling concise error routing in chain functions using the `?` operator syntax.
+
+ The `#[routeify]` macro can be used:
+ - **Standalone** — as a direct attribute: `#[routeify] fn handle(...) { ... }`
+ - **As an extension** — via the extension point system: `#[chain(routeify)] fn handle(...) { ... }`
+
+ When used as a `#[chain]` extension, the `routeify` identifier is detected by the extension point mechanism, stripped from the `#[chain]` attribute arguments, and `#[routeify]` is applied as an outer attribute on top of `#[chain]`. The re-dispatch token stream now correctly generates `#[#exts]*` (i.e., `#[routeify] #[chain]`) instead of the previous bare `#exts` — fixing a bug where extension identifiers were emitted without the `#[...]` attribute delimiter, producing invalid token streams.
+
+ ```rust
+ use mingling::macros::routeify;
+
+ #[chain(routeify)]
+ fn handle_calc(args: EntryCalculate) -> Next {
+ let a = args.pick(&arg![f32]).to_result()?;
+ let op = args.pick(&arg![Operator]).to_result()?;
+ StateCalculate { number_a: a, operator: op, ... }.to_chain()
+ }
+ ```
+
+ The `#[routeify]` macro is feature-gated behind `extra_macros` and re-exported as `mingling::macros::routeify`.
+
+ Internal changes:
+ - Added `mingling_macros/src/extensions/routeify.rs` with `routeify_impl` implementation.
+ - Updated `try_redispatch_simple` and `try_redispatch_completion` to emit `#[#exts]` instead of bare `#exts`, ensuring proper attribute syntax in the re-dispatched token stream.
+ - Registered `#[proc_macro_attribute] pub fn routeify` in `mingling_macros/src/lib.rs`.
+
#### **BREAKING CHANGES** (API CHANGES):
-1. **[`macros:renderer`]** **[`macros:help`]** Removed `r_println!` and `r_print!` macros. The `#[renderer]` and `#[help]` macros no longer implicitly inject an internal `RenderResult` variable or provide `r_println!` / `r_print!` macros.
+1. **[`macros:renderer`]** **[`macros:help`]** Removed `r_println!` and `r_print!` macros from being implicitly injected by `#[renderer]` and `#[help]` macros. These macros still exist, but must now be used **explicitly** — either with an explicit buffer argument, or via the `#[buffer]` extension attribute that re-enables implicit buffer injection.
- Renderers and help functions must now explicitly create and return a `RenderResult`:
+ **Option A — Explicit buffer:** Pass a `RenderResult` variable as the first argument:
```rust
+ use mingling::macros::r_println;
use mingling::prelude::*;
#[renderer]
fn render_greeting(greeting: ResultGreeting) -> RenderResult {
let mut result = RenderResult::new();
- writeln!(result, "Hello, {}!", *greeting).ok();
+ r_println!(result, "Hello, {}!", *greeting);
result
}
```
- All examples, docs, and test cases across the repository have been updated to use the new pattern: creating a `RenderResult` with `RenderResult::new()` or `RenderResult::default()`, writing with `write!`/`writeln!` from `std::io::Write`, and returning the result.
+ **Option B — Implicit buffer via `#[buffer]` extension:** Use `#[renderer(buffer)]` to re-enable the old implicit injection behavior, where a `RenderResult` buffer is automatically created and `r_println!`/`r_print!` write to it without an explicit argument. This requires the function to return `()` (unit); the expanded function will return `RenderResult`:
+
+ ```rust
+ use mingling::macros::r_println;
+
+ #[renderer(buffer)]
+ fn render_greeting(greeting: ResultGreeting) {
+ r_println!("Hello, {}!", *greeting);
+ // Returns RenderResult implicitly
+ }
+ ```
+
+ The `#[buffer]` extension is also available standalone as `#[buffer]` for use outside of `#[renderer]`/`#[help]` functions.
2. **[`macros:chain`]** The `#[chain]` macro's return type requirement has been relaxed. Previously, chain functions were required to return `Next` or `()` (with `()` auto-converting to `ResultEmpty`). Now, chain functions can also return `ChainProcess<ThisProgram>` directly, or omit the return type entirely (which defaults to `()` → `ResultEmpty`).
@@ -213,6 +337,36 @@ None
3. **[`core`]** **[`ExitCodeSetup`]** Updated `ExitCodeSetup` to only override the exit code when `ResExitCode` has been modified (i.e., `exit_code != 0`). Previously, it unconditionally overrode the exit code, which could interfere with exit codes set by other hooks or the program's default exit flow. The `on_finish` hook now returns `ProgramControlUnit::OverrideExitCode(...)` only when the exit code is non-zero, and `ProgramControls::Empty` otherwise. The import of `ProgramControls` has been added accordingly.
+4. **[`core`]** **[`macros`]** Renamed `Groupped` (typo) to `Grouped`. All references to the trait, derive macro, module files, and related types have been corrected throughout the codebase:
+
+ - Trait: `Groupped<Group>` → `Grouped<Group>`
+ - Derive macro: `#[derive(Groupped)]` → `#[derive(Grouped)]`
+ - Serialize variant: `GrouppedSerialize` → `GroupedSerialize`
+ - Source files: `groupped.rs` → `grouped.rs`
+ - Pattern matcher: `GrouppedDerivePattern` → `GroupedDerivePattern`
+ - All `use` imports, type annotations, and trait bound references updated accordingly.
+
+ This is a pure rename — no behavioral changes. All functionality remains identical. Downstream code using the old `Groupped` name must migrate to `Grouped`.
+
+5. **[`core`]** **[`macros`]** Removed `to_chain()` and `to_render()` default methods from the `Grouped` trait. These methods are now exclusively provided by the `Routable` trait. All code that previously called `to_chain()` or `to_render()` via `Grouped` must now call them via `Routable`:
+
+ ```rust
+ // Before (via Grouped — removed)
+ use mingling::Grouped;
+ my_value.to_chain();
+
+ // After (via Routable)
+ use mingling::Routable;
+ my_value.to_chain();
+ ```
+
+ - The `Routable` trait is re-exported in `mingling::prelude` alongside `Grouped`.
+ - The blanket implementation `impl<T: Grouped<C> + Send> Routable<C> for T` remains, so all types that implement `Grouped` still have `to_chain()` and `to_render()` — they just need to import `Routable` instead of relying on `Grouped` for those methods.
+ - Internal macro-generated code (in `#[chain]`, `#[renderer]`, `#[dispatcher_clap]`, `gen_program!`, `empty_result!`, etc.) has been updated to reference `::mingling::Routable::<C>::to_chain(...)` / `::mingling::Routable::<C>::to_render(...)` instead of `::mingling::Grouped::<C>::to_chain(...)` / `::mingling::Grouped::<C>::to_render(...)`.
+ - Downstream crates using `mingling` macros are automatically migrated — the macro output now references `Routable`. Only manual `.to_chain()` / `.to_render()` calls in user code need updating (add `use mingling::Routable;`).
+
+ _No behavioral changes — this is a pure API migration from `Grouped` to `Routable` for routing methods._
