//! Strategy explanation — the *why* behind a plan's mode, geometry, and
//! parallelism.
//!
//! `rivet plan` prints the computed numbers (mode, chunk count, row estimate,
//! verdict). This module turns those numbers into a short, honest narrative: why
//! *this* mode was chosen, why *this* chunk geometry, why *this* parallelism, and
//! what the risk profile is (resumable? memory bound?).
//!
//! It is a **pure** function over data already available in the lib layer — the
//! preflight [`ExportDiagnostic`] plus the [`ExportConfig`] — and the shared
//! memory model in [`crate::tuning::memory`]. It deliberately does **not** touch
//! `crate::init` (bin-only) even though `init::TableInfo::mode_rationale` covers
//! the same ground for `rivet init`: the plan layer is library code and cannot
//! reference the binary's modules.
//!
//! All numbers are data-driven: a missing `row_estimate` or `avg_row_bytes`
//! degrades to an explicit "unavailable" note rather than a fabricated figure.
