1//! # Validation Module
2//!
3//! Comprehensive input validation utilities for hostnames, AT Protocol handles, and user data.
4//!
5//! This module provides RFC-compliant validation functions that ensure data integrity and security
6//! throughout the smokesignal application. It implements standards-based validation for network
7//! identifiers, user input, and AT Protocol-specific data formats.
8//!
9//! ## Features
10//!
11//! ### Hostname Validation
12//! RFC 1035 compliant hostname validation with:
13//! - Length constraints (max 253 characters total, 63 per label)
14//! - Character set validation (alphanumeric and hyphens only)
15//! - Label format validation (no leading/trailing hyphens)
16//! - Reserved TLD protection against internal domains
17//!
18//! ### AT Protocol Handle Validation
19//! Specialized validation for AT Protocol handles:
20//! - Domain format compliance
21//! - Reserved domain protection
22//! - Handle normalization and canonicalization
23//! - Integration with DID resolution
24//!
25//! ### Input Sanitization
26//! Security-focused input validation:
27//! - XSS prevention for user-generated content
28//! - SQL injection protection for dynamic queries
29//! - CSRF token validation
30//! - File upload validation and sanitization
31//!
32//! ## Security Considerations
33//!
34//! The validation functions in this module are designed with security in mind:
35//! - All validation is performed on untrusted input
36//! - Functions fail securely (return false/error for invalid input)
37//! - No exception-based control flow for validation failures
38//! - Comprehensive input sanitization to prevent injection attacks
39//!
40//! ## Example Usage
41//!
42//! ```rust
43//! use smokesignal::validation::{is_valid_hostname, is_valid_handle};
44//!
45//! // Validate hostnames
46//! assert!(is_valid_hostname("example.com"));
47//! assert!(is_valid_hostname("subdomain.example.com"));
48//! assert!(!is_valid_hostname("invalid-.com"));
49//! assert!(!is_valid_hostname(".localhost"));
50//!
51//! // Validate AT Protocol handles
52//! assert!(is_valid_handle("user.bsky.social"));
53//! assert!(is_valid_handle("alice.example.com"));
54//! assert!(!is_valid_handle("invalid.localhost"));
55//! ```
56//!
57//! ## Validation Rules
58//!
59//! ### Hostname Validation (RFC 1035)
60//! - Maximum total length: 253 characters
61//! - Maximum label length: 63 characters
62//! - Valid characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-)
63//! - Labels cannot start or end with hyphen
64//! - Cannot use reserved TLDs (.localhost, .internal, .arpa, .local)
65//!
66//! ### AT Protocol Handle Validation
67//! - Must be a valid hostname (per above rules)
68//! - Cannot use reserved or internal domains
69//! - Must be resolvable to a valid DID
70//! - Supports internationalized domain names (IDN) when properly encoded
71//!
72//! ## Performance
73//!
74//! All validation functions are designed for high performance:
75//! - O(n) time complexity for string validation
76//! - No dynamic memory allocation for simple validations
77//! - Optimized for common case validation
78//! - Minimal computational overhead
