# Story 6.1: Rust Native API

Status: done

## Story

As a **Rust developer**,
I want **a clean, idiomatic Rust API with builder patterns and comprehensive documentation**,
so that **I can integrate Entropyk into Rust applications with type safety and ergonomic usage**.

## Acceptance Criteria

### AC1: Unified Top-Level Crate Structure
**Given** the Entropyk workspace with 4 core crates (core, components, fluids, solver)
**When** a user depends on `entropyk` crate
**Then** they get re-exports of all public APIs from sub-crates
**And** the crate follows Rust naming conventions
**And** the crate is ready for crates.io publication

### AC2: Builder Pattern for System Construction
**Given** a new thermodynamic system
**When** using the builder API
**Then** components are added fluently with method chaining
**And** the API prevents invalid configurations at compile time
**And** `finalize()` returns `Result<System, ThermoError>`

### AC3: Consistent Error Handling
**Given** any public API function
**When** an error occurs
**Then** it returns `Result<T, ThermoError>` (never panics)
**And** error types are exhaustive with helpful messages
**And** errors implement `std::error::Error` and `Display`

### AC4: KaTeX Documentation
**Given** any public API with physics equations
**When** generating rustdoc
**Then** LaTeX formulas render correctly in HTML
**And** `.cargo/config.toml` configures KaTeX header injection
**And** `docs/katex-header.html` exists with proper CDN links

### AC5: 100% Public API Documentation
**Given** any public item (struct, trait, fn, enum)
**When** running `cargo doc`
**Then** it has documentation with examples
**And** no `missing_docs` warnings
**And** examples are runnable (`ignore` only when necessary)

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Context

The workspace currently has 4 core crates:
```
crates/
├── core/         # NewTypes (Pressure, Temperature, Enthalpy, MassFlow), ThermoError
├── components/   # Component trait, Compressor, Condenser, etc.
├── fluids/       # FluidBackend trait, CoolProp integration
└── solver/       # System, Solver trait, Newton-Raphson, Picard
```

The new `entropyk` crate should be a **facade** that re-exports everything users need:
```rust
// crates/entropyk/src/lib.rs
pub use entropyk_core::{Pressure, Temperature, Enthalpy, MassFlow, ThermoError};
pub use entropyk_components::{Component, Compressor, Condenser, Evaporator, ...};
pub use entropyk_fluids::{FluidBackend, CoolPropBackend, ...};
pub use entropyk_solver::{System, Solver, NewtonConfig, ...};
```

### Builder Pattern Example

```rust
use entropyk::{SystemBuilder, Compressor, Condenser, NewtonConfig, Solver};

let system = SystemBuilder::new()
    .add_component("compressor", Compressor::new(ahri_coeffs))
    .add_component("condenser", Condenser::new(ua))
    .add_edge("compressor", "condenser")?
    .with_fluid("R134a")
    .build()?;

let solver = NewtonConfig::default();
let result = solver.solve(&system)?;
```

### Error Handling Pattern

All errors should convert to `ThermoError`:
```rust
// In entropyk_core/src/errors.rs
#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum ThermoError {
    #[error("Component error: {0}")]
    Component(#[from] ComponentError),
    #[error("Solver error: {0}")]
    Solver(#[from] SolverError),
    #[error("Fluid error: {0}")]
    Fluid(#[from] FluidError),
    // ... other variants
}
```

### KaTeX Configuration

**`.cargo/config.toml`:**
```toml
[build]
rustdocflags = ["--html-in-header", "docs/katex-header.html"]
```

**`docs/katex-header.html`:**
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.css">
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.js"></script>
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/contrib/auto-render.min.js"
    onload="renderMathInElement(document.body, {
        delimiters: [
            {left: '$$', right: '$$', display: true},
            {left: '$', right: '$', display: false}
        ]
    });"></script>
```

### Project Structure Notes

- Top-level crate at `crates/entropyk/` (NOT at project root)
- Add to workspace members in root `Cargo.toml`
- Follow workspace package metadata conventions
- Version inherits from workspace

### Critical Constraints

1. **Zero-Panic Policy**: No `unwrap()`, `expect()`, or panics in public API
2. **NewType Pattern**: Never expose bare `f64` for physical quantities
3. **`#![deny(warnings)]`**: All crates must compile without warnings
4. **No `println!`**: Use `tracing` for all logging

### Previous Work Context

- Epic 1-5 components and solver are complete
- `Component` trait is object-safe (`Box<dyn Component>`)
- `System` struct exists in `entropyk_solver` with `finalize()` method
- Error types exist but may need `From` impls for unified handling
