  • The old shape spread one procedure across independent keys, so execution order, and whether a key described the whole variable or a single element, lived only in comments. An ordered steps list puts the procedure in the data, where it cannot be gotten wrong by a reader.
  • split is the only operation that changes how many values are in play, which makes it the scope boundary: steps before it see the whole variable, steps after it run per element. That answers the question the old shape could not, namely whether a size constraint applies to each element or to the whole string.
  • Operators supply the same key in more than one encoding, and no reading of the input is decidable without the expected size. decode.any_of holds the readings and decode.accept holds the rule that picks between them, so the size is stated once instead of once for selection and again for validation.
  • steps runs every entry in order while any_of uses at most one, so the quantifier is in the field name rather than in a comment a reader has to find.
  • trim previously required split_delimiter, which made a singular field impossible to trim and left KEY=$(cat key.b64) unloadable because nothing could strip the trailing newline. Steps have no such dependency.
  • default_value had three competing rules across its own comment and its own example. It now substitutes at the start of the pipeline and flows through every step, so there is one rule and no second spelling to learn.

Behavior change worth a close read: default_value now runs through the pipeline. The prior comment said defaults were never split or trimmed while the example beside it showed "8080,8081" becoming [8080, 8081], which requires splitting, so this settles a contradiction rather than replacing a working rule.

split_delimiter and trim are [deprecated = true] and kept for one release; combining them with steps is a schema error. buf breaking passes.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Proto schema and documented semantics for config/secret loading change, including default-value processing; generators must adopt the new rules to avoid mis-decoding or breaking migrations.

Overview
Introduces an ordered steps pipeline on EnvVarOption so env loading is declared in proto instead of ad hoc per-field logic. Steps include split, trim, decode (base64/hex/utf8 via any_of + accept constraints), and require for byte-size validation—supporting cases like 32-byte keys that may be base64 or raw bytes.

default_value now enters the pipeline like a real env value (split/trim/decode apply), resolving prior doc contradictions. split_delimiter and top-level trim are deprecated for one release; mixing them with steps is a schema error. Adds docs/explanation/env-value-pipeline.md and links it from the docs index; generator-facing invariants and safe failure messaging (no secret leakage) are documented in options.proto.

Walkthrough

The PR adds an ordered environment-value pipeline to the protobuf schema. It supports splitting, trimming, decoding, and byte-size constraints. It deprecates earlier split and trim fields, updates examples and generator rules, and adds pipeline documentation.

- Line 83: Update the documented env-value decoding flow to branch on whether
the value is present: apply split_delimiter and trim only to present values,
while absent values use default_value unchanged as a single repeated item. For
configured defaults, continue through decode, cast, and constraint validation
without splitting or trimming.

In `@proto/trogon/env/v1alpha1/options.proto`:
- Line 312: Clarify the EnvVarOption.decode contract to state whether a
type-cast failure rejects the current decoder output and allows trying the next
decoder, covering cases where constraints pass but casting fails. Add one
cross-generator test vector that exercises this behavior, such as a Base64 value
satisfying byte_size but failing UTF-8 string casting.

The old shape spread one procedure across independent keys, so the order they
ran in, and whether each one described the whole variable or a single element,
lived only in comments. A reader had to trust prose to know what a constraint
applied to.

Operators also supply the same key in more than one encoding, and no reading of
the input is decidable without the expected size, so that rule belongs next to
the choice it resolves rather than restated by every hand-written loader.

An empty byte size passed the non-empty constraints rule while declaring no
predicate, which would leave a multi-candidate decode with nothing to select on
and let generators disagree about the winner.
