Fault-finder for ActivityPub documents.

Generally, each -faults function will return:

  1. nil if no faults were found;
  2. a sequence of fault objects if faults were found.

Each fault object shall have the properties:

  1. :@context whose value shall be the URL of a document specifying this vocabulary;
  2. :type whose value shall be Fault;
  3. :severity whose value shall be one of info, minor, should, must or critical;
  4. :fault whose value shall be a unique token representing the particular fault type;
  5. :narrative whose value shall be a natural language description of the fault type.

Note that the reason for the :fault property is to be able to have a well known place, linked to from the @context URL, which allows narratives for each fault type to be served in as many natural languages as possible.

The idea further is that it should ultimately be possible to serialise a fault report as a document which in its own right conforms to the ActivityStreams spec.

accept-required-properties

As base-activity-required-properties, except that the type of the object is restricted.

activity-faults

(activity-faults x)

TODO: write docs

activity-required-properties

Properties activities should have, keyed by activity type. Values are maps of the format of base-activity-required-properties, q.v.

activity-type-faults

(activity-type-faults x)(activity-type-faults x type)

Return a list of faults found in the activity x; if type is also specified, it should be a string naming a specific activity type for which checks should be performed.

Some specific activity types have specific requirements which are not requirements.

actor-faults

(actor-faults x)

Return a list of faults found in actor x, or nil if none are.

base-activity-required-properties

Properties most activities should have. Values are validating functions, each.

See https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-activity

collection-faults

(collection-faults x)(collection-faults x type)

Return a list of faults found in the collection x; if type is also specified, it should be a string naming a specific collection type for which checks should be performed.

Every collection should(?) have a totalItems field (an integer).

Beyond that, collections are either ‘just collections’ (in which case they should have an items field (a sequence)), or else they’re paged collections, in which case they must(?) have a first field which is a collection page or a URI pointing to a collection page, and should have a last field which is similar.

The pages of collections should be collection pages; the pages of ordered collections should be ordered collection pages.

intransitive-activity-required-properties

Properties intransitive activities should have.

See https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-intransitiveactivity

persistent-object-faults

(persistent-object-faults x)(persistent-object-faults x types severity token)

Return a list of faults found in persistent object x, or nil if none are.

uri-or-fault

(uri-or-fault u severity if-missing-token)(uri-or-fault u severity if-missing-token if-invalid-token)

If u is not a valid URI, return a fault object with this severity and if-invalid-token. If it’s nil, return a fault object with this severity and if-missing-token. Otherwise return nil.
