+# Conda recipe for Knap, a byte level BPE tokenizer written in pure Mojo.
+#
+#     https://github.com/olaflaitinen/knap
+#
+# The artefact is a precompiled Mojo package plus a command line tool. The
+# compiler's own documentation is careful to say a precompiled package is
+# tied to the exact compiler version that produced it, which is why the
+# compiler is pinned exactly in the run requirements rather than given a
+# range. A consumer on a different toolchain gets a solver error, which is
+# far better than a link error deep in their build. That is a deliberate
+# deviation from pin_compatible and the reasoning is here rather than in a
+# pull request comment, so it survives.
+#
+# This recipe is maintained in the Knap repository at
+# conda.recipe/recipe.yaml and copied here. scripts/check_recipe.py there
+# checks, on every push, that the declared version agrees with CITATION.cff,
+# that the compiler pin agrees with pixi.toml and pyproject.toml, that
+# source.rev is a commit in that repository, and that every path the build
+# script reads exists at that commit.
+#
+# Build it:

+  summary: A byte level BPE tokenizer written in pure Mojo, with no Python interpreter at run time.
+  description: |
+    Knap is a byte level Byte Pair Encoding tokenizer written in pure Mojo,
+    verified to produce byte identical output to tiktoken. All seven
+    tiktoken encodings are supported and each was checked against tiktoken
+    itself: 191762320 tokens over a 110 MB corpus, every token id in every
+    encoding, and tens of millions of fuzzed inputs.
+
+    Installing it gives both a Mojo library and a `knap` command for
+    counting, encoding, and decoding from a shell. Vocabularies are not
+    bundled and are fetched separately; `knap help` says where the tool
+    looks for them.
+
+    Correctness is the product. Knap is faster than tiktoken on three of the
+    four distinct encode behaviours on the published machine and slower than
+    rs-bpe everywhere rs-bpe runs, and its benchmarks publish the cases
+    where the alternatives win.

+"""Package acceptance test for the Knap conda package.
+
+A package that builds but cannot be imported without the source tree is not
+a package, and nothing in the build itself would notice. This program is run
+by the recipe's test section against the installed artefact only, with
+`-I $PREFIX/lib/mojo` and no path into the repository.
+
+It is deliberately small. It builds a two byte vocabulary by hand and
+decodes one token, which exercises the import path, the precompiled package,
+and one real code path, and needs no vocabulary download to do it. A larger
+test here would be testing Knap, which the suite already does, rather than
+testing the package.
