//! One-shot model drafting for the guided user constitution (#3404 follow-up).
//!
//! After the user has a working provider/model route and has tuned the six
//! guided answers, the wizard can ask that first configured model to draft the
//! constitution it will live under. This module owns the request and the
//! ingestion of the reply; it never touches disk and never mutates runtime
//! policy. The contract:
//!
//! - **Minimal payload out.** The request carries exactly the six guided
//!   answer labels, an optional bounded own-words note, and the UI language
//!   tag — no config, env, repo contents, keys, or memory.
//!   [`drafting_user_prompt`] is a pure function of those inputs, and tests
//!   pin its full text so nothing can ride along.
//! - **Untrusted payload in.** The reply is treated as untrusted data: only
//!   `Text` blocks are read (thinking is ignored), and the result must pass
//!   [`UserConstitution::from_untrusted_json`] — schema parse, sanitization,
//!   bounding — before anyone previews it. Failure of any kind degrades to
//!   the deterministic guided draft; it never blocks setup.
//! - **Drafting is not ratifying.** The caller shows the rendered preview and
//!   still requires the explicit ratify keypress before anything persists.
