//! Text detection and charset decoding, shared by the MIME sniff and the //! plaintext extractor. //! //! Both callers route through one classifier so they cannot drift: a head //! that [`looks_like_text`] accepts is guaranteed to decode via //! [`decode_text`] — every class except `Binary` decodes unconditionally //! (strict UTF-8 after validation, BOM'd and legacy decodes are //! lossy-with-replacement and never fail). //! //! Classification order is load-bearing: //! //! 1. **BOM** ([`encoding_rs::Encoding::for_bom`]) — before the binary //! guard, because UTF-16 text is full of NUL bytes the guard would //! reject. //! 2. **Binary guard** — any NUL byte, or control bytes (outside //! `\t \n \r`, with ESC tolerated for ANSI-colored logs) above 10% of //! the buffer. UTF-16 without a BOM fails here by design. //! 3. **Strict UTF-8** — with one tolerance for the sniff: a head is a //! prefix of the file (indexing hashes the first `hash_length` bytes and //! sniffs the same buffer), so a multibyte sequence cut off by the end //! of the buffer does not disqualify it. //! 4. **Legacy** — everything else. [`decode_text`] runs charset detection //! (chardetng, windows-1252 floor) and decodes with replacement. //! //! The sniff sees only the head, so a file with a text head and a binary //! tail classifies as text and then fails the whole-file decode; that lands //! as a FAILED row with a reason, the normal shape of head-based //! classification. use std::path::Path; enum TextClass { /// Strict UTF-8 (modulo the truncated-tail tolerance).
