//! Engine error envelopes.
//!
//! `EngineError` lifts the typed payloads every consumer pattern-matches
//! on (`BackendError` via `#[from]`, `ValidationError` from the runtime
//! validator, `SlugError` from the slug helper, `ParseError` from the
//! markdown parser). `BootError` is the smaller envelope produced by
//! `Engine::from_workspace_root` and its full counterpart — the failure
//! modes specific to layout detection, workspace-store load, per-mount
//! backend instantiation, and engine construction.
