//! Global guardrail registry for runtime plugin discovery.
//!
//! The [`GuardrailRegistry`] holds an ordered list of [`Guardrail`] instances.
//! Guardrails are evaluated in registration order; the first [`GuardrailDecision::Block`]
//! short-circuits evaluation and is returned immediately.
//!
//! A global singleton is available via [`global`] for convenience. Applications
//! that need isolation (e.g., per-tenant guardrails) should create local
//! [`GuardrailRegistry`] instances instead.
