//! Detect lazy / elided whole-file emissions — a model returning a placeholder
//! (`<the full file content remains unchanged>`, `… rest of the file …`) or an
//! empty body **instead of** the complete file. The crew apply path must REFUSE
//! these: applying one silently overwrites real code with a placeholder, which
//! only surfaces downstream as a compile error (the second failure in the #548
//! real-issue experiment). Pure — no fs, no model. (#688)

/// High-confidence elision placeholders a model emits in place of the real file.
/// Each names the *file / code / implementation* as elided, so a complete file
/// that merely comments "the public API is unchanged" does NOT trip it.
