//! Queue import input loading helpers.
//!
//! Responsibilities:
//! - Read queue import payloads from stdin or a file path.
//! - Keep filesystem and stdin behavior consistent across formats.
//!
//! Not handled here:
//! - Parsing imported task payloads.
//! - Queue mutation or validation.
//!
//! Invariants/assumptions:
//! - `-` always means stdin.
//! - Missing path means stdin.
