//! Behavioral net for the **deterministic, pure-Lua** surface of the `package`
//! library (`src/loadlib.rs`).
//!
//! `loadlib` is split into two regimes:
//!
//! * **Platform / FFI (NOT pinnable here):** actual C dynamic loading
//!   (`dlopen`/`dlsym`) and the embedder-installed file probe. A real
//!   `package.loadlib`/`require` of a `.so` needs a built shared object and the
//!   host loader; its failure message is the platform dyld string (the macOS
//!   path list), and the `"open"`/`"absent"` tag depends on which backend is
//!   installed. Those are the genuine-`unsafe` FFI bridge and are deliberately
//!   absent here (documented as honest-negatives in
//!   `crates/lua-stdlib/GRADUATED.md`, the analogue of math's platform-`rand()`).
//! * **Pure package logic (what this file pins):** the `package.config` string,
//!   `require`'s `package.loaded` caching + identity, the preload searcher, the
//!   missing-module error assembly (the four-searcher trace), `package.searchpath`
//!   string resolution, the `package.loaders`(5.1)/`package.searchers`(5.2+)
//!   naming, the `module`/`package.seeall` 5.1 roster, and the `nil`-vs-`false`
//!   fail value. All of this runs with NO shared object — the searchers report
//!   "not found" because the file probe never resolves — so it is byte-pinnable
//!   against the version-suffixed reference binaries (`/tmp/lua-refs/bin/lua5.x`,
//!   captured 2026-06-14).
//!
//! Pinning these seams across all five versions caught **seven** real divergences
//! (our impl applied a modern-version rule to ALL versions, or carried a wrong
//! `luaL_pushfail` translation); the relevant tests FAILED at baseline and PASS
//! after the fix — the Phase-2 net-strengthening discipline (cf. `table.remove`,
//! the string matcher, the `os` date/time seams).
//!
//! `omnilua` is a dev-dependency (it depends on `lua-stdlib`, so it can only be
//! a dev-dep — see `Cargo.toml`).
