Skill instructions
PET Rust Locator Patterns & Conventions Domain knowledge for writing correct Rust code in the Python Environment Tools (PET) repository. Following these patterns prevents the most common review feedback and CI failures. Locator Ordering (CRITICAL) The order of locators in createlocators() in crates/pet/src/locators.rs determines identification priority. More specific locators MUST come before generic ones. Priority Chain (required order): 1. Windows-specific: Windows Store → Windows Registry → WinPython 2. Managed environments: PyEnv → Pixi → Conda 3. Virtual envs (specific → generic): Poetry → PipEnv → VirtualEnvWrapper → Venv → VirtualEnv 4. macOS-specific: Homebrew → MacXCode → MacCmdLineTools → MacPythonOrg 5. Linux fallback: LinuxGlobalPython (MUST BE LAST) Why it matters: If Venv runs before Poetry, a Poetry environment (which IS a venv) gets misidentified as a plain venv. The first locator whose tryfrom() returns Some wins. Environment Identification (tryfrom) Each tryfrom() mus
