Snider 003996b148 refactor: Flatten repository structure (#28)
- Move Go files from core, e, and runtime directories to the project root.
- Unify package declarations to a single 'core' package.
- Update go.work to exclude the cmd directory from the main build.
- Resolve naming conflicts and update import paths.
- Fix tests to work with the new structure.

// Package e provides a standardized error handling mechanism for the Core library.
// It allows for wrapping errors with contextual information, making it easier to
// trace the origin of an error and provide meaningful feedback.
//
// The design of this package is influenced by the need for a simple, yet powerful
// way to handle errors that can occur in different layers of the application,
// from low-level file operations to high-level service interactions.
//
// The key features of this package are:
// - Error wrapping: The Op and an optional Msg field provide context about
// where and why an error occurred.
// - Stack traces: By wrapping errors, we can build a logical stack trace
// that is more informative than a raw stack trace.
// - Consistent error handling: Encourages a uniform approach to error
// handling across the entire codebase.
package core
import (
"fmt"
)
// Error represents a standardized error with operational context.
type Error struct {
// Op is the operation being performed, e.g., "config.Load".
Op string
// Msg is a human-readable message explaining the error.
Msg string
// Err is the underlying error that was wrapped.
Err error
}
// E is a helper function to create a new Error.
// This is the primary way to create errors that will be consumed by the system.
// For example:
//
// return e.E("config.Load", "failed to load config file", err)
//
// The 'op' parameter should be in the format of 'package.function' or 'service.method'.
// The 'msg' parameter should be a human-readable message that can be displayed to the user.
// The 'err' parameter is the underlying error that is being wrapped.
func E(op, msg string, err error) error {
if err == nil {
return &Error{Op: op, Msg: msg}
}
return &Error{Op: op, Msg: msg, Err: err}
}
// Error returns the string representation of the error.
func (e *Error) Error() string {
if e.Err != nil {
return fmt.Sprintf("%s: %s: %v", e.Op, e.Msg, e.Err)
}
return fmt.Sprintf("%s: %s", e.Op, e.Msg)
}
// Unwrap provides compatibility for Go's errors.Is and errors.As functions.
func (e *Error) Unwrap() error {
return e.Err
