#+TITLE: Module Inventory — init.el Load Graph
#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings
#+DATE: 2026-05-24

* Purpose

Living per-module inventory for the [[file:init-load-graph.org][init.el load-graph refactor]]. The
spec's module-category table is the seed; this file is the per-module truth as
each module is inspected and classified. A module moves from [[*Pending
classification][Pending classification]] into [[*Classified modules][Classified
modules]] once its source has been read and its load-graph header written.

Phase 1 exit criterion: every module required by =init.el= (102 total) is
represented here with a category and target load shape, every eager survivor
has a documented reason, and top-level timer/process/network side effects are
identified. Classification proceeds in batches; the header-validation test
=tests/test-init-module-headers.el= enforces the contract on each classified
module.

This inventory is independent from the helper inventory owned by
=utility-consolidation.org=.

* Status

- Phase 1 (Inventory and Contracts), in progress.
- Batch 1 (Foundation, Layer 1): classified. 7 of 102 modules.
- No load-order changes have been made; =init.el= keeps its current eager order.

* Legend

Category key (a module may carry two, e.g. =F/S=):

- =F= foundation or shared library/config
- =C= core eager UX
- =P= package configuration (usually hook/command/package loaded)
- =D= domain workflow with a possible eager reason
- =S= startup side-effect / timer / process owner
- =O= optional, entertainment, experimental, rarely used
- =L= pure-ish library / command helpers, easy to load directly

Load shape: =eager= | =hook= | =mode= | =command= | =after-load=.

Direct test load: =yes= | =conditional= | =no= — can the module be loaded
directly in batch without first loading the rest of init?

* Classified modules

** Batch 1 — Foundation (Layer 1)

| Module | Layer | Cat | Current | Target | Runtime requires | Top-level side effects | Direct load |
|--------+-------+-----+---------+--------+------------------+------------------------+-------------|
| =system-lib= | 1 | F/L | eager | eager | none (auth-source on demand) | none | yes |
| =user-constants= | 1 | F | eager | eager | none | file writes: creates configured dirs/files at load | conditional |
| =host-environment= | 1 | F/L | eager | eager | none (battery on demand) | none | yes |
| =system-defaults= | 1 | F/S | eager | eager | autorevert, server, bookmark, host-environment, user-constants | global setq, display-warning advice, display-buffer-alist entry, one key remap | conditional |
| =keyboard-compat= | 1 | F/S | eager | eager | host-environment | adds emacs-startup-hook | yes |
| =keybindings= | 1 | F/C | eager | eager | user-constants, which-key, free-keys | defines cj/custom-keymap + cj/jump-map, binds global keys, which-key labels | conditional |
| =config-utilities= | 1 | C/O | eager | eager | cl-lib, cl-generic, eieio, find-lisp, profiler | defines cj/debug-config-keymap, binds C-c d | yes |

Every Batch 1 module stays eager: each satisfies a spec eager-reason condition
(shared helpers, path constants, core Emacs behavior, or the global keymap
owner). Reasons are recorded in each module's load-graph header.

* Hidden dependencies found

Discoveries that belong to Phase 2 (make dependencies explicit). Recorded here,
not fixed here.

- =system-defaults= reads =env-bsd-p= (host-environment) and =user-home-dir=
  (user-constants) at *load* time, but declares both only via
  =eval-when-compile=. The compiled module therefore cannot load standalone —
  it works at startup only because =init.el= requires host-environment and
  user-constants earlier. Phase 2 fix: promote the two =eval-when-compile=
  requires to plain runtime =require=. (Test
  =test-system-defaults-functions.el= was updated to require host-environment
  so the unit loads in isolation; the production fix is still pending.)

* Pending classification

The remaining 95 modules required by =init.el=, awaiting per-module inspection.
Each batch reads these against their source and moves them into [[*Classified
modules][Classified modules]] with a load-graph header. Suggested batch order
follows the spec: text/editing command modules, then UI, then programming, then
Org, then optional integrations.
