Formal documentation for every trait #301

Description

@mroczect

Summary

Enhance documentation for all traits in libvctrl_handler by adding formal pre- and post-conditions, invariants, and error semantics.

Context

Traits define the contracts that all implementations must follow. Formal documentation helps implementers avoid subtle bugs and enables formal verification in the future.

Tasks

  • For each trait (ObjectStore, RefStore, Hasher, Encoder, Decoder, Signer, Verifier, Transport, RevWalk, TreeDiffer, ConfigStore, Index, ReflogStore, PackWriter, PackReader, Remote, Blame):
    • Document pre-conditions: what must be true before calling a method.
    • Document post-conditions: what is guaranteed after the method returns.
    • Document invariants: properties that always hold (e.g., get after put returns the same data).
    • Document error cases and when each VctrlError variant is returned.
  • Update the trait doc comments to include this information in a structured way (e.g., using sections # Preconditions, # Postconditions, # Errors).
  • Ensure doctests still pass after modifications.

Acceptance Criteria

  • All traits have formal documentation sections.
  • cargo doc generates clear, structured pages.
  • The documentation is reviewed by at least one other contributor (or automated check passes).

Dependencies

  • Fase 0 and Fase 1 handler definitions.
