//! `$include` key — modular configuration via cross-file references.
//!
//! Real-world configuration trees (Kubernetes Helm charts, Argo CD
//! ApplicationSets, Docker Compose stacks) split a single logical
//! document across many files for human-friendly editing. The
//! convention this example demonstrates is the same one JSON
//! Schema (`$ref`), Argo CD, and a long tail of in-house tools
//! adopt: a single-key mapping `{ $include: path/to/file.yaml }`
//! is a placeholder that gets replaced inline by the parsed
//! contents of the referenced file.
//!
//! The pattern: walk the parsed [`Value`] tree, recognise mappings
//! whose only key is `$include`, replace each with the contents of
//! the named file. Cycle detection prevents `a.yaml` → `b.yaml` →
//! `a.yaml` runaway recursion.
//!
//! Run: `cargo run --example include`
