Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Extract escape_xml to xml_utils module with control
character fix
Extract the escape_xml function to a shared xml_utils.rs module as
per ADR decision. The function now properly handles illegal XML
control characters (0x00-0x1F except tab/LF/CR) by escaping them as
&#xNN; entities.
Changes:
- Create crates/diffguard-core/src/xml_utils.rs with shared escape_xml
- Update lib.rs to pub mod xml_utils
- Update junit.rs to use super::xml_utils::escape_xml
- Update checkstyle.rs to use super::xml_utils::escape_xml
- Remove duplicate escape_xml functions and tests from junit.rs/checkstyle.rs
Fix: c if c <= '\u{001F}' && c != '\t' && c != '\n' && c != '\r' => {
out.push_str(&format!(

+# ADR-011: Remove Unnecessary Result Wrapper from parse_blame_porcelain
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-11
+
+**Work Item:** work-430b0729
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Issue #141 reports that `parse_blame_porcelain` in `crates/diffguard/src/main.rs` (line 1768) is typed to return `Result>` but never actually returns `Err`. This is dead code — the function silently skips invalid entries via `continue` rather than propagating errors, and always reaches `Ok(out)` at line 1818.
+
+Clippy detects this pattern with the `unnecessary_result_bool` lint (or equivalent): *"this function's return value is unnecessarily wrapped by `Result`"*.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+Change `parse_blame_porcelain` to return `BTreeMap` directly, removing the `Result` wrapper.
+
+### Changes Required
+
+1. **Function signature (line 1768):**
+ ```rust
+ // Before
+ fn parse_blame_porcelain(blame_text: &str) -> Result>
+
+ // After
+ fn parse_blame_porcelain(blame_text: &str) -> BTreeMap
+ ```
+
+2. **Return expression (line 1818):**
+ ```rust
+ // Before
+ Ok(out)
+
+ // After
+ out
+ ```
+
+3. **Caller in `collect_blame_allowed_lines` (lines 1861-1862):**
+ ```rust
+ // Before
+ let blame_map = parse_blame_porcelain(&blame_text)
+ .with_context(|| format!("parse git blame for {}", path))?;
+
+ // After
+ let blame_map = parse_blame_porcelain(&blame_text);
+ ```
+
+4. **Test at line 4068:**
+ ```rust
+ // Before
+ let map = parse_blame_porcelain(porcelain).expect("parse");
+
+ // After
+ let map = parse_blame_porcelain(porcelain);
+ ```
+
+### Rationale for Silent-Skip Behavior
+
+The parsing logic skips malformed entries rather than failing because:
+- Git blame output for files with unusual content (binary, untrusted encoding) may contain partial/invalid entries
+- The function is used to extract allowed-line metadata for diff checking — incomplete data is tolerable, hard failure is not
+- This behavior is established and users depend on it
+
+---
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Keep Result and document the never-err case
+Adding a comment like `// SAFETY: this function never returns Err` would suppress the lint but leave unnecessary complexity for callers.
+
+### 2. Return Option instead of bare BTreeMap
+`Option>` would allow `None` for parse failures, but no call site checks for `Err` so `None` would be equally unused. The bare type is cleaner.
+
+### 3. Make the function return Result and propagate real errors
+Adding proper error propagation would be a breaking change to the call sites' logic and is out of scope for this fix.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+- Removes dead error-handling code from callers
+- Eliminates Clippy lint
+- Improves code clarity — readers know the function cannot fail
+- Removes `.expect()` from test, making test failure messages cleaner
+
+**Negative:**
+- None — this is purely a refactor with no behavioral change
+
+**Neutral:**
+- The `anyhow::Result` type alias used throughout the crate remains; this only affects one function's return type
+
+---
+
+## Files Affected
+
+- `crates/diffguard/src/main.rs` — function definition (line 1768), return (line 1818), caller (lines 1861-1862), test (line 4068)
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+After applying changes:
+1. Run `cargo clippy -p diffguard` — confirm no lint warnings related to `parse_blame_porcelain`
+2. Run `cargo test -p diffguard` — confirm all tests pass, especially `parse_blame_porcelain_extracts_line_metadata`

+# Specification: Remove Unnecessary Result from parse_blame_porcelain
+
+## Overview
+
+Refactor `parse_blame_porcelain` function to return `BTreeMap` directly instead of `Result>`, since the function never returns `Err`.
+
+## Feature / Behavior Description
+
+The function `parse_blame_porcelain` parses git blame porcelain output and returns a mapping from line numbers to their metadata. Currently it returns `Result<...>` but always succeeds. After the change, it returns the `BTreeMap` directly.
+
+**No behavioral change** — the function continues to silently skip malformed entries via `continue` statements. Only the type signature changes.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- No changes to parsing logic or error handling behavior
+- No new functionality
+- No changes to other functions or their signatures
+
+## Changes
+
+| Location | Before | After |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| Line 1768 (function signature) | `fn parse_blame_porcelain(blame_text: &str) -> Result>` | `fn parse_blame_porcelain(blame_text: &str) -> BTreeMap` |
+| Line 1818 (return) | `Ok(out)` | `out` |
+| Lines 1861-1862 (caller) | `.with_context(...)?` | Remove `.with_context()` and `?` |
+| Line 4068 (test) | `.expect("parse")` | Remove `.expect()` |
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. `cargo clippy -p diffguard` reports no warnings related to `parse_blame_porcelain`
+2. `cargo test -p diffguard` passes with all tests green, including `parse_blame_porcelain_extracts_line_metadata`
+3. The function signature is `fn parse_blame_porcelain(&str) -> BTreeMap`
+4. All call sites are updated to handle the non-Result return type
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `anyhow` (already in dependency tree for `Result` type alias)
+- No new dependencies required
+
+## Test Plan
+
+1. **Existing test** (`parse_blame_porcelain_extracts_line_metadata`): Update to call function without `.expect()` and verify it passes
+2. **Clippy check**: Run `cargo clippy -p diffguard` to confirm no lint
+3. **Full test suite**: Run `cargo test -p diffguard` to ensure no regressions
+
+## File Changes
+
+- `crates/diffguard/src/main.rs` — 4 locations (signature, return, caller, test)
