A pure Rust library and CLI for the automated repair, preparation, and topology construction of biological macromolecules.

//! Canonical error type for all structure and template IO operations.
//!
//! This module wraps parser, serializer, and filesystem failures into a single
//! `Error` enum that higher-level operations can bubble up or convert into
//! user-facing diagnostics with uniform wording.

use std::fmt;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use thiserror::Error;

/// Errors that can occur while reading or writing biomolecular data.
///
/// The enum captures I/O failures, structured parser issues, unknown residues, and
/// integrity mismatches so callers can inspect the variant and react accordingly.
