[Levaj2000]

Before: OcsfAuditConfig had two independent optional fields, destination and exporters, and a Default that set neither. A value with no output, both outputs or an empty exporter list could exist until the emitter refused it.

After: OcsfAuditConfig holds one output: OutputSelection, either a destination or an ExporterList that TryFrom<Vec<OcsfExporterConfig>> refuses to build empty, and no longer implements Default. Missing, conflicting, null-only and empty selections fail while the block is parsed. YAML is unchanged: destination: and exporters: keep their keys, unknown-field rejection and serialized shape.

The block deserializes through a private wire struct whose checked conversion into OcsfAuditConfig is the one place an entry that selects no single output is refused. OcsfAuditConfig::new(output) builds a config in code with the documented defaults, which is the replacement for the removed Default; the CHANGELOG entry documents the break.

How: config.rs gains OutputSelection, ExporterList, OutputSelectionError (thiserror) and the private WireConfig with #[serde(into, try_from)]; the emitter fails an entry with no config: block with the existing missing-output message; lib.rs re-exports the new types. Tests in config.rs cover programmatic construction, both variants, empty and conflicting lists, nulls beside a set key, unknown keys and wire round-trips of both shapes. The emitter's struct_defaults_match_an_empty_config_block test went with Default; the sink still refuses an absent, silent or null-only block.

Checked locally: cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy -p praxis-policy-plugin-ocsf-audit --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, cargo test -p praxis-policy-plugin-ocsf-audit --all-features (76 unit tests, 2 doctests), RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc -p praxis-policy-plugin-ocsf-audit --no-deps, cargo check --workspace --all-targets --all-features. Production code added is under 200 lines.

Closes #264

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Breaking Changes
  • Rust callers must now choose exactly one audit output: a destination or a nonempty exporter list. The configuration no longer provides a default.
• Bug Fixes
  • Invalid configurations are rejected, including those with no output, conflicting outputs, or an empty exporter list. Explicit null output values are treated as absent.
• Compatibility
  • YAML keys and serialized configuration shape remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

OcsfAuditConfig now carries one OutputSelection and no longer implements Default. Deserialization retains the existing YAML keys but rejects missing, conflicting, null-only, and empty selections. The emitter reports an error when its config is absent.

Changes: OCSF audit output selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Public output selection API reference/plugins/ocsf-audit/src/config.rs, reference/plugins/ocsf-audit/src/lib.rs, reference/plugins/ocsf-audit/Cargo.toml, CHANGELOG.md	OcsfAuditConfig now takes an OutputSelection. ExporterList rejects empty lists, and the crate re-exports the new public types. The changelog records the API change.
Wire format validation reference/plugins/ocsf-audit/src/config.rs	A private wire type retains the destination and exporters keys. Deserialization rejects missing, conflicting, and empty selections. Serialization emits only the selected key. Tests cover validation and round trips.
Emitter configuration handling reference/plugins/ocsf-audit/src/emitter.rs	Emitter construction reports a missing output selection when the config is absent. Tests cover absent config and null output keys.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#264] requires one validated output selection, removal of Default, preservation of the destination and exporters wire shape, rejection of missing, conflicting, null-only, and empty selections, emitter protection, tests, caller updates, and API-break documentation. The pull request summary reports OutputSelection, checked ExporterList, private wire conversion, removal of Default, emitter validation, compatibility tests, re-exports, and a changelog entry. The reported checks include unit tests, doctests, clippy, formatting, documentation, and workspace compilation. These changes satisfy the stated coding requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files support issue [#264]. config.rs implements the validated public API and wire compatibility. emitter.rs preserves missing-output rejection. lib.rs exposes the new types. CHANGELOG.md documents the breaking API. The dependency update supports the error type. No unrelated change is identified in the available whole-pull-request summary.

checking exporter_names for stderr and tracing in the relevant test, describing
the expected exporter for each destination. Also add a message to the related
