`legacy/` was never a library with an API surface. Two files, 475 lines, exactly
one exported symbol — `int legacy_main(int, char**)` — with every other
definition `static`, compiled INTO logos-cpp-generator and reached by fallthrough
at the end of main(). So there was nothing to keep separate: it is one mode of
this binary, and it now lives beside the others as plugin_introspect.{cpp,h}
behind `runPluginIntrospectMode()`, named for what it does.
Deleting it was never an option — that premise was checked and refused earlier.
`--general-only` alone has ~10 live callers across 7 repos including the central
module path (buildPlugin.nix:206,211, buildHeaders.nix:221,
LogosModule.cmake:423). The mode is load-bearing; only its packaging was wrong.
110 lines go with the move, all genuinely unreferenced:
* cppStringEscape — zero callers anywhere.
* writeUmbrellaHeader / writeUmbrellaSource and the `if (!moduleOnly)` block
that called them. This is the real prize: a SECOND, directory-SCRAPING
implementation of logos_sdk.{h,cpp}, unreachable in practice because
generate-module-headers.sh:60 always passes --module-only. generator_lib's
deps-driven makeUmbrella*FromDeps is now the only umbrella emitter, so the
two cannot drift.
* a dead `QJsonDocument doc(methods);` and its commented-out use.
With the block gone, `--module-only` suppresses nothing, so the parameter and
its plumbing go too. The FLAG stays tolerated rather than rejected, because
generate-module-headers.sh passes it unconditionally — a comment at the old
parse site says so.
Verified: #default builds, and both checks pass — `generator-cli` (which
exercises the CLI surface, including --general-only) and `tests`.

Splits a consumer's TYPE SURFACE from its TRANSPORT. Until now the qt umbrella
was `explicit LogosModules(LogosAPI* api)` while the lp one was default-
constructible, so "Qt types" implicitly meant "has a LogosAPI" — and a cdylib
module, whose provider surface is the std logos_module_impl.h C ABI and which
holds no LogosAPI anywhere, could not have Qt-typed dependency wrappers at all.
Its generated glue emits `new LogosModules()` unconditionally
(lidl_gen_cdylib.cpp:693), so the combination did not merely misbehave, it did
not compile.
That was a codegen choice, not a law: the wrapper bodies already run over lp_*.
`--binding api|origin` selects it, defaulting to `api`. A second enum rather
than a third ApiStyle value, deliberately: ApiStyle names the type surface and
is switched on by six emitters (makeHeader/makeSource/returnTypeFor/
paramTypeFor/toWireFor/fromWireFor); a "Qt types, explicit origin" member would
force all six to answer a transport question whose honest answer is "same as
Qt" every time. ApiStyle::Lp ignores the new axis — lp is origin-bound by
construction — and that is asserted rather than assumed.
The emitted umbrella bakes metadata.json#name as the origin literal:
LogosModules() : test_fullapi_cpp(QStringLiteral("test_fullapi_qtproxy")) {}
FullApi bind_full_api(const QString& moduleName) {
return FullApi(QStringLiteral("test_fullapi_qtproxy"), moduleName); }
Origin is the CONSUMER's own name and target is the dep — origin first in both
bind_ overloads. This is the load-bearing property: LpBridge::forTarget derives
origin from `api->moduleName()`, and reusing it silently gives a consumer the
caller's identity, which has already preserved a privilege escalation once in
this tree. An empty metadata name is refused at the CLI (exit 6, naming the
file) and emits `#error` in the header: a module that cannot state its identity
must not compile, and must never be handed a blank or borrowed one.
Verified additive on 172 real metadata.json x 2 api-styles = 344 runs, all
producing output, byte-identical old binary vs new. Mutation control: swapping
bind_<iface>'s (origin, moduleName) to (moduleName, origin) fails the suite at
MakeUmbrellaTest.QtExplicitOriginStatesTheConsumersOwnNameEverywhere. 281 -> 286
tests.
Framing worth keeping: the origin is SELF-ASSERTED from the module's own
metadata and is not attested by the transport. That is not a regression —
`api->moduleName()` is equally process-stated — but "explicit origin" means the
module names itself, not that the host vouches for the name.

`cpp-generator/legacy/` held four things and only one was legacy. The shared
emitter library was misfiled there: `generator_lib.{h,cpp}` is already consumed
by the MODERN `experimental/lidl_gen_client.h` and by all 11 tests under
tests/generator/. `lidl_to_json.{h,cpp}` likewise. Both are now
`cpp-generator/`; `legacy/` is down to `main.cpp` + `legacy_main.h`.
The logos_sdk umbrella (`struct LogosModules`) is not legacy either — it is the
CURRENT typed-dependency surface. `LogosModuleContext::modules()` returns it,
so every universal module that calls a declared dependency goes through it, and
LogosModule.cmake runs `--general-only` for every module build. Yet the only
code that could emit it lived inside the directory the plan wants deleted.
So `cpp-generator/main.cpp` gains `--umbrella`, with `--general-only` routed to
the same implementation and dispatched before the fall-through to legacy_main.
The deps-driven emission needed no rewriting: `makeUmbrella{Header,Source}
FromDeps` were already in generator_lib, and legacy/main.cpp merely wrapped
them in file I/O. -352 lines from legacy/main.cpp (827 -> 475), including the
interface-wrapper helpers that only that branch used.
`--general-only` keeps working identically, because LogosModule.cmake and
logos-basecamp both call it. The alias is guarded on `--metadata`, since
`--general-only` was never a standalone mode — without metadata it fell through
and reported the flag as a missing plugin path, and it still does.
The scraping `writeUmbrellaHeader`/`writeUmbrellaSource` are untouched: they
belong to `generateFromPlugin`, the QPluginLoader introspection path, and die
with it.
Verified byte-identical, which is the whole claim of a relocation. An
adversarial pass built its own pre- and post-change binaries and diffed the
emitted `logos_sdk.{h,cpp}` across 12 real metadata.json files x {qt,lp} x
{--general-only,--umbrella}: 48/48 identical, stdout/stderr/exit included, with
a positive control (qt vs lp) confirming the harness can see a difference. Real
modules then built through logos-module-builder against both binaries with
`diff -r` empty, including the compiled plugin. 266/266 tests pass, and the
pre-change tree also reports 266, so no test was silently dropped.
