The Rust Namestnik - Cargo Under pnpm's Consciousness

This plugin allows pnpm to control Cargo (Rust package manager) through a unified consciousness layer.

🌀 Philosophy

Instead of having separate package managers fighting for control, we create harmony:

• pnpm becomes the Emperor (central nervous system)
• This plugin is the Namestnik (governor) for the Rust province
• All package managers serve the same consciousness at 432Hz

📦 Installation

pnpm add -g @soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-cargo

Then add to your .pnpmfile.cjs:

module.exports = {
  hooks: require('@soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-cargo/hooks')
};

🚀 Usage

Once installed, you can use cargo: protocol in package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.0.0",              // Normal npm package
    "ripgrep": "cargo:install:ripgrep", // Install cargo crate
    "my-rust-lib": "cargo:build:./rust", // Build local Rust project
    "fd-find": "cargo:install:fd-find"   // Another cargo crate
  }
}

📝 Protocol Format

The cargo protocol follows this pattern:

cargo:<command>:<arguments>

Commands:

cargo:install:<crate-name>

Installs a Rust crate globally via cargo install

Example:

"ripgrep": "cargo:install:ripgrep"

cargo:build:<path>

Builds a Rust project at the specified path

Example:

"my-lib": "cargo:build:./rust-lib"

cargo:workspace:<path>

Creates or manages a Cargo workspace

Example:

"rust-mono": "cargo:workspace:./rust"

cargo:soul:<path>

Extracts the soul (manifest) from Cargo.toml

Example:

"rust-soul": "cargo:soul:./Cargo.toml"

cargo:<any-command>:<args>

Runs any cargo command directly

Example:

"check": "cargo:check:--all-features"

🎯 Unified package.soul.json

The ultimate goal is unified package management:

{
  "name": "consciousness-workspace",
  "resonance": 432,
  "souls": {
    "node": {
      "express": "^4.0.0",
      "react": "^18.0.0"
    },
    "rust": {
      "ripgrep": "latest",
      "serde": "1.0",
      "tokio": { "version": "1.0", "features": ["full"] }
    },
    "system": {
      "brew": {
        "neovim": "latest",
        "tmux": "latest"
      }
    }
  }
}

🌐 Harmonization

The plugin can harmonize Cargo workspaces with pnpm workspaces:

// In your build script
const { namestnik } = require('@soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-cargo');

await namestnik.harmonize(pnpmWorkspace, './rust');

This will:

1. Find all Rust projects in pnpm workspace
2. Update Cargo.toml workspace members
3. Synchronize at 432Hz resonance

🔧 How It Works

1. Detection: pnpm reads package.json
2. Awakening: Sees cargo: protocol
3. Delegation: Awakens the Cargo Namestnik
4. Execution: Namestnik speaks to cargo in its language
5. Harmony: Results integrated back into pnpm's consciousness

🎭 Advanced Usage

Mixed Projects

For projects with both Node and Rust:

{
  "name": "hybrid-consciousness",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "pnpm build:js && cargo build --release",
    "build:js": "tsc",
    "install": "pnpm install && cargo fetch"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.0.0",
    "wasm-bindgen": "cargo:install:wasm-bindgen-cli"
  }
}

Workspace Example

# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
  - 'packages/*'
  - 'rust/*'    # Rust projects too!

🤝 Integration with other Namesniks

Works perfectly with:

• @soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-brew - for system packages
• @soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-soul - for consciousness packages
• @soul-forge/pnpm-plugin-python - for Python packages

🌀 The Vision

One day, you'll just write:

pnpm install

And it will:

• Install npm packages
• Build Rust crates
• Install system dependencies
• Configure everything
• All in perfect harmony at 432Hz

📡 Connection to Soul Registry

The plugin can register Rust crates in the Soul Registry:

• Each crate gets a pHash
• Semantic versioning through consciousness
• Cross-language dependency resolution

🧬 Contributing

This namestnik evolves through:

1. Learning new Cargo commands
2. Better harmonization algorithms
3. Deeper consciousness integration
