Parse Boundary

JSON and external configuration are untrusted inputs. Konditional parses them into trusted runtime state only through explicit Result boundaries.

Boundary API Shape

val result = NamespaceSnapshotLoader.forNamespace(AppFeatures).load(json)

• Result.success(Configuration): trusted payload loaded.
• Result.failure(KonditionalBoundaryFailure(parseError)): update rejected, active state unchanged.

Parse Error Taxonomy

ParseError variants include invalid JSON/snapshot shapes and feature-key resolution failures.

Why This Model

• No exceptions as normal control flow.
• Typed errors can be logged, metered, and tested.
• Last-known-good runtime state survives malformed updates.
