# Infrastructure
The shared [Hummingbird](https://github.com/hummingbird-project/hummingbird) toolkit the **Loud** services build on: declarative routing, hardened HTTP middlewares, pre-rendered localized HTML responses, and the page and asset scaffolding.

## Overview
The package provides, grouped by role:
| Role | Types |
| --- | --- |
| Routing | `RouterController`, `RouteCollectionBuilder`, the `addController` extension on `RouterMethods` |
| Middlewares | `SecurityHeadersMiddleware`, `VaryMiddleware`, `RateLimitMiddleware`, `LocalizationMiddleware`, `NotFoundMiddleware` |
| Pages and assets | `Page`, `Asset`, `AssetExtension`, `FingerprintAssets` |
| Responses | `CachedHTMLResponse`, `LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse` |
| Contexts | `LocalizedRequestContext` |
| Constants | The `HTTPField.Name` header names, `Int.RateLimit` limits, and `String.Security` header values the middlewares default to |

## Design rules
The package holds only what every service can reuse; anything a service owns is injected, never referenced:
- **No site-specific content.** No page markup, no asset catalog, no `Bundle.module` lookups. A type that needs a service's content takes it as a parameter: the `bundle:` whose String Catalog names the supported languages (`LocalizationMiddleware`, `LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse`, `NotFoundMiddleware`), the `document:` closure that builds a page for a locale, and the `metadata` requirement through which a `Page` conformer supplies its icon links and theme colors.
- **Services fill the gaps once, via extensions.** A service restores its convenient call sites with retroactive extensions — the Website's `Page+Defaults`, `LocalizationMiddleware+Defaults`, and `NotFoundMiddleware+Defaults` are the pattern to follow.
- **Method structs.** Single-operation types such as `FingerprintAssets` hold their lifetime-fixed configuration in `init` and take only per-call inputs in `callAsFunction`.

## Layout
Sources are split by visibility, then by kind, one type per file:
```
Sources/
├── Public/                public API
│   ├── Builders/          RouteCollectionBuilder
│   ├── Enumerations/      AssetExtension
│   ├── Extensions/        addController, plus the default header names and values
│   ├── Methods/           FingerprintAssets
│   ├── Middlewares/       the five HTTP middlewares
│   ├── Protocols/         Asset, LocalizedRequestContext, Page, RouterController
│   └── Responses/         CachedHTMLResponse, LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse
└── Internal/
    └── Types/             implementation details (FNV1aHash)
Tests/
├── Cases/                 the test suites, mirroring the Sources/ layout
├── Catalogs/              the String Catalog fixture, copied verbatim so it loads on Linux
└── Utils/                 stubs (StubAsset, StubPage, …) and the suite Tag constants
```

## Testing
Every suite carries a tag naming the kind of API it exercises — `.asset`, `.extension`, `.middleware`, `.protocol`, or `.type`, declared in `Tests/Utils/Extensions/Tag+Constants.swift` — so test plans and result summaries can slice the run by kind. A new suite must adopt the tag matching its subject (or add a tag there if none fits).

## Requirements
- Swift 6.3 toolchain (`swift-tools-version:6.3`).
- macOS 15, matching the sibling `Localization` and `Persistence` packages (the services deploy to Linux containers; the packages carry no UI platforms).
