//! Document-level intent signals that need section/code-block awareness.
//!
//! Lives at the instructions layer because the only callers are
//! skill/prompt/agent-instruction analyzers — these are the artifact
//! kinds where a `SkillDocument` is available with parsed sections.
//!
//! Today this module hosts `remote_instruction_download_findings`. The
//! older single-section intent-vs-permission signal still lives inline
//! in `instructions.rs::capability_permission_mismatch_finding` because
//! it is satisfied by a flat `&str` and does not need this module's
//! sectional view.
