feat(go): refuse undeclared environment variables in generated parsers - #1612
Stacked on #1609, which adds unknown_env to usage-lib, usage-argv and the derive. This PR brings the same check to the Go parser that usage generate go emits. Before this, generated Go ignored the node and still filled flags from the environment without question.
A variable counts as known, the same as in usage-lib, if any of these declares it:
an env, env_fallback or deprecated_env on any flag or argument anywhere in the command tree, clauses included
a config property's env, envs or deprecated_envs
the allow list
Every offender is reported at once, sorted. On Windows the comparison folds case with Unicode rules, and a variable set in two different cases is reported once. Help and version are answered before the check, so --help still works with a typo in the environment. The check runs before required flags and arguments are checked, because a misspelled variable is the likelier reason a required flag is missing.
How it works
Generator (lib/src/go): emits UnknownEnvPrefix and UnknownEnvKnown. The known list is computed at generation time with usage-lib's declared_env_names, because a generated package carries tables, not the spec's config. Specs without unknown_env generate exactly what they did before.
Runtime (go/argv):
UnknownEnv(prefix, known, names) is a pure function over any list of names, so it can be tested without touching the process environment.
RefuseUnknownEnv returns the error, and EnvNames reads the process.
The new error code is CodeUnknownEnv. Error.Name holds the prefix and Error.Names the offenders.
Docs: docs/go/parser.md gains an "Unknown environment variables" section.
Limits
The Go generator does not support mount, so it can't know the variables a mounted command declares. Rather than generate a parser that would reject them while usage-lib accepts them, usage generate go fails for a spec that has both unknown_env and a mount.
The shared conformance corpus has no unknown_env vector yet. The Go behaviour is covered by its own tests instead.
Validation
go/conformance/generated_unknown_env_test.go generates a package, compiles it, and parses against the real environment. It checks:
variables declared by another command, deprecated, read by config, or allowed are all accepted
every offender is reported, sorted
the error comes ahead of a missing required flag
help and version still answer
Unit tests in go/argv/env_test.go cover the check and its messages.
A generator test in lib/src/go checks that every kind of declaration reaches UnknownEnvKnown.
cargo test --workspace and go test ./... pass on Linux. The Windows case-folding path only type-checks here (GOOS=windows go vet); its tests were not run on Windows.

Medium Risk
Changes when generated CLIs fail at parse time and extend the public Go argv API; incorrect known-name emission or env matching could reject valid deployments or miss typos.
Overview
Specs with root unknown_env now produce Go parsers that reject environment variables under the configured prefix that the spec never declares (flags/args/config/allow anywhere in the tree). The Rust generator emits UnknownEnvPrefix and UnknownEnvKnown, and generated Parse calls argv.RefuseUnknownEnv after help/version and before required-flag/arg checks.
go/argv adds UnknownEnv, RefuseUnknownEnv, EnvNames, CodeUnknownEnv (with Error.Names), plus user-facing messages in Error() and Render. Matching follows usage-lib rules (prefix on valid UTF-8 head, Windows case folding, all offenders sorted at once).
usage generate go no longer blanket-rejects unknown_env; it errors only when unknown_env is combined with mount, since mounted commands' env names aren't known at codegen time. V8.md records a planned v8 break: generate should return Result like generate_with_types.
Docs in docs/go/parser.md describe the behavior; conformance and unit tests cover generated Parse, env logic, and codegen output.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Generated command-line parsers can detect and report environment variables with a configured prefix that aren’t declared or explicitly allowed. Errors list unknown names in sorted order, with case-insensitive matching on Windows.
Added options to check supplied environment-variable names without reading the process environment. Unknown-variable errors take precedence over missing required arguments; help and version responses remain available.
Generation rejects this setting when the command tree contains mounted commands.
Documentation
Documented the setting, which names are considered known, and how errors are reported.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The Go argv package now detects and reports unknown environment-variable names. When unknown_env is configured, the Go generator emits policy metadata and adds the check to generated parsers. Generation rejects that policy when the command tree contains a mount.

Summary
Environment-name filtering and errors go/argv/argv.go, go/argv/env.go, go/argv/render.go, go/argv/env_test.go
The argv package filters names by prefix and known-name list, sorts and deduplicates results, and compares names case-insensitively on Windows. It adds CodeUnknownEnv and formats errors with the prefix and safely quoted names. Tests cover filtering and rendered output.
Generated parser metadata and validation lib/src/go/mod.rs, lib/src/go/structs.rs, go/conformance/generated_unknown_env_test.go, docs/go/parser.md, V8.md
When unknown_env is configured, the generator emits the prefix and known names from declarations and allowances. Generated parsers check environment names before requirement validation. Generation rejects the policy when the command tree contains a mount. Tests cover generated names, errors, and parser behavior. The documentation describes the policy, parser check, APIs, and restriction; V8.md records a proposed generate return-type change.

what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.
safe escapes control characters but not backticks. On Unix, an environment variable name can contain a backtick, so EX_ab renders as "EX_ab", and the name boundary is unclear.

… prefix (#1609)
Closes#1607.
`unknown_flags "error"` catches a misspelled flag, but a misspelled or
stale environment variable (`MOQ_LISTEN_TLS_CRET=…`, or a variable whose
flag was renamed two releases ago) is read by nobody, and the program
quietly runs on its defaults. That hurts most in deployments, where
configuration arrives through systemd units, container manifests, or
Helm values and nobody watches the command line.
A CLI can now name the prefix it owns. A parse then refuses every
variable under that prefix that the spec doesn't declare, and names all
of them at once.
```kdl
name "moq"
bin "moq"
unknown_env prefix="MOQ_" {
allow "MOQ_VAAPI_DEVICE" "MOQ_V4L2_ENCODER"
}
flag "--port <port>" env="MOQ_PORT"
cmd "serve" {
flag "--tls-cert <path>" env="MOQ_TLS_CERT" deprecated_env="MOQ_CERT"
}
cmd "publish"
```
Rust CLIs declare it on the root struct:
```rust
#[derive(usage_rs::Cli)]
#[usage(bin = "moq", unknown_env(prefix = "MOQ_", allow("MOQ_VAAPI_DEVICE", "MOQ_V4L2_ENCODER")))]
struct Cli { /* ... */ }
```
With `MOQ_PROT` and `MOQ_TSL` set, a derived CLI prints this and exits
2:
```text
error: unknown environment variables under 'MOQ_':
MOQ_PROT
MOQ_TSL
For more information, try '--help'.
```
usage-lib's `Parser` (and therefore `usage exec` and friends) returns
`Unknown environment variables under MOQ_: MOQ_PROT, MOQ_TSL`.
**What counts as known**
- Every `env`, `env_fallback`, and `deprecated_env` anywhere in the
command tree: every subcommand, flattened group, and clause, not only
the command that ran. A variable meant for `serve` is not a typo when
the user runs `publish`.
- Variables read by `config` properties, including those of a derive's
`config = Settings` type.
- Names in `allow`, for variables read outside the spec, such as by a
library crate.
**Behavior**
- It's opt-in. Without `unknown_env`, nothing changes.
- The prefix only scopes the check and never builds a name, so every
variable stays spelled out in full where it's declared. This isn't
clap's `env_prefix`.
- A deprecated name keeps its deprecation warning instead of becoming an
error.
- `--help` and `--version` are answered before the check runs.
- On Windows, names are compared case-insensitively. A variable name
that isn't valid UTF-8 is reported in a lossy spelling instead of
causing a panic.
- usage-lib checks the environment map passed to `Parser::with_env` when
there is one, and the process environment otherwise.
- When a view promotes a command to its own executable, the rest of the
CLI's declared names still count as known there.
**API additions (no breaking changes)**
- usage-lib: `Spec::unknown_env`, `SpecUnknownEnv`, and
`UsageErr::UnknownEnv`.
- usage-argv: an `env` module (`declared_names`, `unknown`,
`refuse_unknown`), `Error::UnknownEnv` with an `UnknownEnv` payload, and
`diagnostic::Code::UnknownEnv`.
- The new variants go on enums that are already `#[non_exhaustive]`, and
no public struct gained a field, so `cargo semver-checks` passes.
- The derive appends the `unknown_env` node to its emitted KDL, so docs,
completions, and usage-lib see the same declaration.
**Validation**
- `conformance/tests/unknown_env.rs` runs one derived CLI through both
the derive and usage-lib (parsing the KDL the derive emits). It checks
that both report the same variables, that the declaration survives a KDL
round trip, and what a real parse prints.
- Unit tests in usage-lib cover parsing, the round trip, and parse
errors.
- `jouet test --affected` passed: 2727 tests.
- Clippy is clean on the touched crates. The workspace-wide clippy step
fails on a `duplicated_attributes` error in `benches/shadows/pitchfork`,
and that same error is on `main` already.
- The check costs nothing at run time unless a CLI opts in, but the new
code is in every binary. `perf / instruction-count` measured `startup`
(`usage --help`) at 1,004,665 → 1,018,065 instructions (+1.33%, over the
1% gate) and `markdown` at +0.70%. Wall time for `startup` went from
1.50 to 1.51ms. The cost was not profiled. The likely cause is the
larger binary, since none of the new code runs during `--help`. It is
accepted as is, and the gate is unchanged.
**Not in this PR**
- Go parser enforcement. Until it lands, `usage generate go` refuses a
spec that declares `unknown_env` rather than generating a parser that
would ignore it. The infallible `usage::go::generate` cannot return an
error, so it still ignores the policy. #1612 adds the
enforcement and removes the refusal.

A spec's root-level unknown_env now reaches generated Go. The generator
collects every variable the spec declares (env, env_fallback and
deprecated_env across the whole tree, clauses included, config props, and
allow) into UnknownEnvKnown, and Parse calls argv.RefuseUnknownEnv after
help and version and before requirements. The error is CodeUnknownEnv with
the prefix and every offender, sorted; case-insensitive on Windows.

#1609 refuses unknown_env in Go generation until the Go parser enforces it;
this PR does, so the guard and its test go. The Go check now also follows
usage-lib on names that are not UTF-8: the prefix is matched on the valid
head, such a name is never a declared one, and two are one only byte for
byte. Ties in the folded sort fall back to the raw bytes, as in lib.
