A package manager and build system for C/C++
Documentation
//! Top-level error display for `cabin`.
//!
//! The dispatcher returns `anyhow::Error`; some leaves wrap a
//! typed [`miette::Diagnostic`] (today: `ManifestError`,
//! `WorkspaceError`, `ResolveError`, `PkgConfigError`, and any
//! future domain error that derives `Diagnostic`).
//! [`render_error`] peels through the anyhow chain, asks
//! [`crate::diagnostic_registry`] for the deepest typed
//! candidate it can find, and routes the report through
//! [`cabin_diagnostics::render`] so the user sees a stable
//! `error[<code>]: <message>` block plus the `help:` text the
//! domain author attached.  When no typed diagnostic is found,
//! the formatter falls back to anyhow's default `{:#}`
//! rendering via [`write_plain_error`], which is what the rest
//! of the CLI has emitted historically.
