//! Witnesses the Council questions on an item (0.99).
//!
//! A [`Witness`] answers the seats' `ask_witness` questions from round 2.
//! Its whole conversation for the item is attached to the decision as a
//! [`Testimony`], named by [`testimony_attachment_name`]; each round's
//! [`CouncilRound::witness_questions`] says who asked what, and where in
//! the testimony the question is.
//!
//! **Batches (0.104).** The seats' questions to a witness are queued
//! during a round and sent together at its end, as one user turn written
//! by [`WitnessBatch::render`], which the witness answers once. Each question
//! carries a [`WitnessQuestionId`]; a [`WitnessQuestion`] with an `id`
//! points at the batch's turn, shared with the batch's other questions,
//! and [`WitnessBatch::parse`] finds the question in it. Records made before
//! 0.104 have no `id`: their turn is the one question, as JSON after a
//! framing block.
//!
//! How a witness is reached ([`WitnessSource`]) never leaves the process
//! that runs the sitting: it is never serialized, its `Debug` redacts the
//! endpoint, and a `Testimony` holds only a redacted witness.
