Add a user-guide page on product_selector:

  • what each field matches, including that creator matches either the plugin label or the algorithm name, and the empty default suffix
  • when a layer may be omitted, and that a wrong layer silently prevents delivery instead of failing
  • ambiguity errors and what they ask for
  • reading selectors from configuration with config.get<product_selector>
  • the expected -Wmissing-field-initializers warning

Also document the product_selector fields in the header.

  • Guide: Added documentation for the creator, layer, suffix, and stage fields, including how product types are inferred and matched.
  • Selector behavior: Explains when layer is required, how a wrong layer can prevent delivery without an error, and when ambiguous matches fail graph construction.
  • Configuration: Shows how to read selectors with config.get<phlex::product_selector>. Documents how missing or unknown keys affect matching.
  • Header: Added field comments and an initialization example for product_selector. The struct fields and declarations remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds documentation for C++ product selectors, their matching rules, and their configuration-file representation. It also documents designated-initializer warnings and an option to suppress them.

phlex/core/product_selector.hpp, docs/source/guide/product_selectors.rst
Documents selector fields, matching behavior, layer requirements, and ambiguity outcomes.
Configuration and initialization

The documentation-only change needs several small corrections so users are not misled about selector ambiguity, array configuration, or how to find the new guide.

Add the user guide page to a toctree in index.rst.

docs/source/guide/product_selectors.rst exists, but no toctree lists it. Sphinx does not add the page to the navigation, so readers cannot reach it from the documentation index. The page can still be reached by direct URL or search.

Add a toctree block for the guide after the "Data model" block:

Review comments at @docs/source/guide/product_selectors.rst:
- Around line 105-106: Update the array-length documentation for
`std::array<phlex::product_selector, N>` to state that `unpack_json_array` uses
only the first N configured selectors, silently ignores extras, and throws when
fewer than N selectors are provided.
- Around line 38-39: Update the product-selector guidance to remove the “one
creator” restriction and clarify that a suffix may be needed to distinguish
same-type products across different creators, including when creator and suffix
are unset and multiple products match.
- Around line 72-75: Clarify the selector guidance by separating
algorithm-producer matching from provider matching. In the provider case handled
by find_matching_provider, document that two explicit providers matching an
unset layer can trigger “Multiple explicit providers found” even when their
products differ only by layer; retain the layer-only allowance specifically for
algorithm producers.

- Say when a suffix is needed without limiting it to one creator: with
  creator unset, same-typed products of several creators also match.
- Separate the ambiguity rules: products from algorithms may differ only
  in layer, but more than one matching explicit provider is an error even
  if they differ only in layer, and at most one implicit provider may
  match.
- State that reading std::array<product_selector, N> uses only the first
  N elements and throws if there are fewer.

Can you also fix the issue CodeRabbit flagged re. adding this page to the TOC.

- Restore the blank line before the "Fields" heading, which the earlier
  suggestion commit removed; without it the heading is parsed as part of
  the preceding paragraph.
- Rewrap the two long lines added by suggestion commits.
- Replace the tautological "each is delivered only for data cells of its
  own layer" with what actually happens: the algorithm runs for every
  data cell holding a matching product, restricted to the selector's
  layer when it names one.
- Mark the silently ignored unknown selector keys as current behaviour
  and link issue Framework-R-D#1035, which tracks rejecting them.
