//! # Lunar Azimuth
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! Moon‑specific azimuth scalar function. Returns the topocentric
//! apparent azimuth of the Moon (North‑clockwise convention, range
//! `[0, 2π)`) for a geodetic observer at the given instant. The Moon
//! position is derived from `Moon::get_horizontal`, which applies
//! topocentric parallax (~1° at horizon), precession, and the full
//! ecliptic → equatorial → horizontal transform chain. No atmospheric
//! refraction is applied.
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! Single crate‑internal helper [`moon_azimuth_rad`] used by the unified
//! azimuth calculus API via the
//! [`AzimuthProvider`](crate::calculus::azimuth::AzimuthProvider) trait.
//!
//! ## References
//! - Meeus, J. (1998). *Astronomical Algorithms*, 2nd ed., Willmann‑Bell.
