This pull request introduces new standards and automation for code simplicity, error handling, and configuration management for the Stringy project, primarily through documentation and automation files. The changes establish clear guidelines for code review, Rust project configuration, error handling patterns, and configuration management, aiming to ensure a maintainable, idiomatic, and reliable codebase.

Code Review and Automation:

  • Added a code simplicity review prompt (.github/prompt/simplicity-review.prompt.md) and a corresponding command (.cursor/commands/simplicity_review.md) to guide manual and automated reviews for reducing complexity and test bloat. [1] [2]
  • Introduced a Kiro automation hook (.kiro/hooks/code-review-refactor.kiro.hook) to automatically trigger a code simplicity review at the end of each agent run, enforcing the new review process.

Rust Project Standards and Guidance:

  • Documented Rust project standards in .kiro/steering/rust/cargo-toml.md, specifying package structure, dependency choices, linting, and build profiles for Stringy.
  • Added configuration management guidelines in .kiro/steering/rust/configuration-management.md, mandating CLI-only configuration (via clap), no config files or environment variables, and showing idiomatic argument validation.

Error Handling Standards:

  • Established detailed error handling standards and patterns for Rust in .kiro/steering/rust/error-handling.md and .kiro/steering/rust/error-handling-patterns.md, including the use of thiserror, structured error types, propagation practices, error context, recovery strategies, and thorough error testing/documentation. [1] [2]

- Introduced a new hook that triggers a comprehensive code review upon agent completion, focusing on simplifying code, reducing test bloat, and ensuring idiomatic style.
- The hook includes detailed analysis steps and simplification principles to guide the refactoring process, enhancing code maintainability and readability.

This addition aims to streamline the code review process and promote best practices in code simplicity.

…rror handling, performance optimization, and configuration management

- Introduced multiple markdown files detailing standards and best practices for Rust development within the Stringy project.
- Added guidelines for Cargo.toml configuration, error handling patterns using `thiserror`, performance optimization techniques, and strict coding standards.
- Included examples and code snippets to illustrate best practices for string extraction, error handling, and performance benchmarks.
- Enhanced documentation aims to improve code quality, maintainability, and performance across the project.

This addition significantly enriches the project's documentation, providing clear guidance for developers and contributors.

… process

- Introduced two new markdown files: `simplicity_review.md` and `simplicity-review.prompt.md`.
- The `simplicity_review.md` outlines steps for reviewing code for simplicity.
- The `simplicity-review.prompt.md` provides detailed analysis steps and simplification principles to guide developers in refactoring code effectively.
- This addition aims to enhance code maintainability and promote best practices in code simplicity.

…ction and documentation updates

- Implemented detection for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses within the `SemanticClassifier`, including support for port handling and bracketed notation.
- Updated the classification logic to include comprehensive validation for IP addresses, reducing false positives through heuristic checks.
- Enhanced documentation in `README.md` and `classification.md` to reflect new capabilities and provide usage examples for IP address classification.
- Refactored the `semantic.rs` module to improve code clarity and maintainability, including detailed comments on the classification process.

This enhancement significantly improves the library's ability to analyze network indicators, facilitating better binary analysis and string extraction.

Poem

🐰 I nibble bytes and hop through nets,

Octets, brackets, and bracketed sets,
I tidy UTF‑16 with a clever stride,
Mark IPs where they like to hide,
Standards set, the code feels spry—hip hop, hop, hi!

In the case of the version number/ip octet heuristic, I think we should just accept the risk of a false positive in the case of a dotted quad notation that could be either a version number or an IP address. We should just document that this can happen sometimes.

Before commiting your code, run just ci-check and ensure all checks and tests are green.
