Steps

1. Create the crate

cargo new --lib crates/<crate-name>

2. Register in the workspace

Add to the root Cargo.toml:

[workspace]
members = [
  # ... existing ...
  "crates/<crate-name>",
]

3. Set package metadata

In crates/<crate-name>/Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "edgesentry-<name>"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
description = "One-line description (no trailing period)"
license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0"

4. Verify

cargo build --workspace

5. Add an overview doc

Create docs/crates/<crate-name>/overview.md with:

• What it does (not how)
• I/O contract: input type → output type
• Non-obvious dependencies

Naming convention

• Crate name: edgesentry-<noun> (kebab-case)
• Rust module: edgesentry_<noun> (snake_case)
