//! The engine-level error type.
//!
//! This is the *host-facing* error returned by the public Rust API (parsing a
//! script, evaluating it, driving the runtime). It is distinct from a thrown
//! JavaScript value: a JS `throw` produces a runtime [`Value`](crate) handled
//! inside the VM, whereas [`Error`] represents an engine outcome surfaced to
//! the embedder — a syntax error with its source location, a resource limit,
//! or an internal invariant violation.
