Explicit tool installation

Categories:

Purpose

Record AL’s explicit source-built installation boundary after removal of the private executable cache.

Requirements

Requirement: Use explicit source-built installation

AL SHALL be built by Bazel and installed only through an explicitly requested installation target. It SHALL NOT expose al tool or maintain a private executable cache. Updating source SHALL NOT change an installed executable automatically.

Scenario: Update an installed command

  • WHEN an operator requests the repository’s AL install target
  • THEN the installer atomically copies the current source-built executable.

Scenario: Invoke the removed tool subcommand

  • WHEN a caller invokes al tool
  • THEN AL reports usage failure without inspecting a tool cache.
