# noyalib Research Frontier > **Progressive disclosure.** The bulk of this skill — the four full > open-problem statements and the verbatim worked examples — lives in > [`reference.md`](./reference.md). This page is the compact index: > thesis, problem index, methodology rules, non-goals, cross-refs, > provenance. Open problems + the discipline. Nothing here is committed roadmap; everything is a **candidate** direction with a falsifiable "you have a result when…" milestone attached. - Audience: mid-level engineer or Sonnet-class model with time to spend on research-shaped work (weeks, not hours). - Scope: pure-Rust YAML library `noyalib` v0.0.14. - Frontier thesis (chosen 2026-07-07): **YAML-spec leadership**. Conformance beyond the official test suite; edge-case authority; upstream spec/suite contributions; the reference implementation for YAML 1.2.2 ambiguities. - Date-stamp: 2026-07-07. Every claim below carries a re-verify command so it can be re-checked before being repeated. - Not this skill: - Positioning / marketing claims → `noyalib-external-positioning`. - Executing a measured campaign (coverage, benchmark chase) → `noyalib-coverage-campaign`. - Settled battles → `noyalib-failure-archaeology`. - Live triage → `noyalib-debugging-playbook`. --- ## Provenance — re-verify before quoting numbers Everything volatile below was captured 2026-07-07.
