//! Recursive-descent parser: laid-out token stream → typed AST (src/ast.rs).
//!
//! Error recovery is per-declaration: an unparseable declaration becomes
//! `Decl::Unknown` plus a diagnostic, and parsing continues at the next
//! virtual semicolon. The parser never panics and never aborts the file.
