render.rs

//! Rendering discovered project instructions into a conversation message (ADR-0023 §2).
//!
//! The loader in [`crate::load`] produces a neutral [`ProjectInstructions`]; this turns
//! it into **one `User`-role `<system-reminder>` message** and injects it (Slice 3). This is
//! the "engine renders / injects the neutral value" half of ADR-0023 — a single format for
//! every pack (fidelity is bounded to tools + prompt, ADR-0023 §1).
//!
//! Why `User` and not `Developer`: injected framing is authored as `User` from the start so
//! the conversation ⇄ payload conversion stays losslessly bidirectional (ADR-0013 amendment
//! 2026-07-23) — a `Developer`-rendered-to-user fallback cannot be reversed.
