//! # Unified Altitude Computation & Event API
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! Topocentric altitude *h(t)* of a celestial body as observed from a
//! geodetic site on Earth, evaluated on the canonical TT axis. The body's
//! apparent direction is taken from the underlying analytical or numerical
//! engine (VSOP87/ELP2000/JPL ephemerides for solar-system bodies; ICRS
//! catalogue position for stars), so the regime of validity is bounded by
//! that of the chosen engine. Atmospheric refraction is **not** applied
//! here; thresholds such as `−0.833°` must be supplied by the caller.
//!
//! Event detection (rise/set crossings, culminations, time inside an
//! altitude band) uses Chebyshev-first crossing discovery with precise
//! scan+Brent fallback; temporal accuracy is limited by the chosen
//! `time_tolerance`.
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! A clean, user‑friendly API for computing target altitude vs time and
//! finding events (crossings, culminations, altitude ranges) for **any**
//! celestial target.
//!
//! ## Module Structure
//!
//! - `types`, Core type definitions (events, queries, periods)
//! - `search`, Search options and configuration constants
//! - `compute`, Low-level altitude computation functions
//! - `events`, Event finding (crossings, culminations, ranges)
//! - `provider`, Trait-based dispatch for bodies
//!
//! ## Public Functions
//!
//! | Function | Purpose |
//! |----------|---------|
//! | [`crossings`] | Threshold crossings in a time window |
//! | [`culminations`] | All local maxima/minima of altitude |
//! | [`altitude_ranges`] | Intervals where altitude is within `[h_min, h_max]` |
//! | [`above_threshold`] | Intervals where altitude is above threshold |
//! | [`below_threshold`] | Intervals where altitude is below threshold |
//!
//! All inputs/outputs are typed with `qtty` (`Degrees`, `JulianDate`, etc.).
//!
//! ## Time Scale
//!
//! `ModifiedJulianDate` / `Interval<ModifiedJulianDate>` values in this API are interpreted on
//! the TT axis. If your inputs are UTC timestamps, convert them with
//! `tempoch::Time::<tempoch::UTC>::from_chrono(...).to::<tempoch::TT>().into()`
//! into `ModifiedJulianDate` first.
//!
//! ## Trait-Based API
//!
//! The [`AltitudeProvider`] trait provides a unified interface for evaluating
//! topocentric altitude of any celestial body. Implementations exist for
//! [`Sun`](crate::bodies::solar_system::Sun),
//! [`Moon`](crate::bodies::solar_system::Moon),
//! [`Star`](crate::bodies::Star), and
//! [`direction::ICRS`](crate::coordinates::spherical::direction::ICRS).
//!
//! Period semantics are expressed only through the three public functions
//! [`above_threshold`], [`below_threshold`], and [`altitude_ranges`], which are
//! generic over `AltitudeProvider`.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! Astronomical night (Sun below −18°):
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! below_threshold(&Sun, &site, window, Degrees::new(-18.0), SearchOpts::default());
//! ```
//!
//! Nautical twilight band (−18° to −12°):
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! altitude_ranges(&Sun, &site, window, Degrees::new(-18.0), Degrees::new(-12.0), SearchOpts::default());
//! ```
//!
//! Moon above the horizon:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! above_threshold(&Moon, &site, window, Degrees::new(0.0), SearchOpts::default());
//! ```
//!
//! ## References
//! None.
