# practice/house-style

A `type: fragment` package: a reusable block meant to be **included** by other
packages rather than used on its own.

`examples/pqrst-estimate` composes it:

```yaml
dependencies:
  prompts:
    - id: practice/house-style
      version: ">= 0.1.0"
      requirement: required

inputs:
  - name: house_style
    required: false
    default:
      include: practice/house-style
```

Inclusion is deterministic — the fragment's template is rendered and inlined as
text, with no model involved — so the reference CLI performs it during
`resolve`. See `CannedPromptFormat-v0.1.md` § 10.2.

Its `tone` parameter is inherited from the including package when that package
declares one, and otherwise falls back to the default here.
CANP-WP-0002 T03: composition by reference, two kinds T01 had already delivered half of composition without naming it: a derived default binds an input to a prompt dependency, which is transclusion — run package B, use its output. What was missing was the deterministic half. `include` inlines another package's rendered template as text. No model is involved, so the reference CLI can actually perform it, and a shared preamble, rubric or style block becomes a versioned package instead of copied text. This is the concrete way to honor INTENT principle 9 without any runtime. `derive` stays as it was. Both are input defaults, so composition reuses the resolution machinery rather than adding a second one. No template inheritance. Four of this repo's own documents argue against it: INTENT principle 3 (hidden context defeats reuse), section 19's "make package contents visible before execution", section 17's requirement that behavior changes produce a new version, and the non-goal on range resolution. Version selectors: an exact pin is the expected form, with `any`, `newest` and `>= X.Y.Z` as explicit opt-ins so looseness is written rather than implied by absence. Selectors are evaluated per dependency against what is available — no solver, no cross-dependency constraint satisfaction — which is what keeps them outside the range-resolution non-goal, and the spec says so. Also defines `type` (template \| fragment), which appeared once in the section 4 manifest surface and was specified nowhere. Spec: 3.2 (type), 5.1 (inclusion resolution rule, renumbered), 6.1 (included default), 10.1 and 10.2 (new), 18 (rules 14-16), 21. Reference CLI: validate_version_selector, select_version, prompt_dependencies replacing prompt_dependency_ids, check_composition_reference, CatalogComposer with cycle detection, and resolve_inputs gaining composer= and inherited=. Tests 21 -> 42. Examples: house-style is a real fragment package; pqrst-estimate composes it and is bumped 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 per section 17. Fixes an ordering bug found while testing: inputs resolved before parameters, so an included package could not see the including package's parameters and silently fell back to its own defaults — the fragment rendered tone=neutral where the including package said blunt. Parameters now resolve first; the report still lists inputs first.
