📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds container declarations to the Nickel standard library, decodes container metadata into Rust types, loads container specifications, validates container fields, and stores decoded containers on layers. It also returns errors for invalid package-array entries. ChangesContainer support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Container specification decoding can currently crash on invalid map values and silently discard earlier containers when names are duplicated, which can produce failed deployments or incomplete configurations.

214-225: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider rejecting duplicate container names instead of silently dropping one.
HashMap::from_iterkeeps the last entry for a repeated key. Two container declarations with the samenametherefore collapse into one, and one declared image disappears without a diagnostic. The doc comment onContainer::nameincrates/decode/src/container.rsstates that the name is unique within a layer, so a duplicate is a spec error rather than an override.The
stacksblock above has the same shape, so a shared helper that reports the duplicated name would cover both.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
string_map_from_term still panics on absent or non-string values.
Two unwrap() calls remain on this path:
- Line 188:
field.value.as_ref().unwrap()panics for a field that carries only an annotation and no value (for exampleenv_vars.PORT | String). - Line 191:
String::deserialize(...).unwrap()panics for a non-string value.
Dictionary contracts in Nickel are lazy per value. Applying the field-level contract for env_vars, labels, or config at Lines 273-277 attaches pending contracts to each inner field; it does not force them. So env_vars = {A = 1} reaches String::deserialize unforced and aborts the process instead of producing a diagnostic. rejects_invalid_fields covers invalid env-var names but no non-string env-var value, so this path is untested.
Apply each field's pending contracts, skip fields with no value, and map the failure to an Error.
This repeats the second site of the earlier review comment on Lines 169-187, which is marked as addressed but is still present.

@evanspearman, confirmed. The finding is valid.
The change should:
- Skip string-map fields with no value.
- Apply
field.pending_contractsbefore evaluation. - Convert non-string values to
Error::Other. - Remove both
unwrap()calls. - Add
env_vars = { PORT = 1 }torejects_invalid_fields. - Validate with
just test.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Duplicate container names collapse silently.
HashMap::from_iter keeps only the last entry for a repeated key. Two containers declared with the same name therefore produce one map entry, and the earlier declaration disappears with no error. The doc comment on Container::name in crates/decode/src/container.rs Line 205 states the name is unique within a layer, but nothing enforces it here.
Reject the duplicate instead of dropping it.
The existing stacks block at Lines 202-213 has the same behavior, so consider applying the same check there.

Assert the field-specific error.
The current assertion only proves that some broad Nickel or Error::Other error occurred. It passes if the decoder reports the wrong field or ignores the field argument. Assert that the error identifies the current field, or match the dedicated structured error variant.

Generally, there are quite a few unwrap calls outside of tests. We should avoid this if at all possible and use expect instead when protected from a panic by an invariant enforced elsewhere, but otherwise we should handle the errors.

There are quite a few unwraps in this function on calls to deserialize. If these are protected by an invariant enforced elsewhere, we should document that through expect, but otherwise, we should handle the error.
