//! P5-1 (COMPOSABLE-HARNESS-DESIGN.md §5.3 risk 1, D-3): the command
//! canonicalizer — the security-critical parser rule-matching depends on.
//!
//! **Why tree-sitter, not a hand-rolled splitter** (risk-1 mitigation, §5.3:
//! "tree-sitter-based parsing (oc's proven approach, oc§1) rather than a
//! hand-rolled splitter"): a regex/split-on-`;` approach cannot distinguish a
//! real separator from one that's quoted (`echo "a; b"` is ONE command), and
//! cannot recurse into `$(...)`/backtick command substitution without
//! reimplementing a chunk of shell grammar by hand — exactly the class of bug
//! this design calls "a silent privilege escalation" (§5.3 risk 1). This
//! module instead asks `tree-sitter-bash` (the same grammar opencode's own
//! parser uses, oc§1) to build a real parse tree and walks it.
//!
//! **Fail-closed contract** (the load-bearing invariant): [`canonicalize`]
//! NEVER returns a silently-empty or silently-optimistic result for input it
//! can't fully make sense of. Any parse error (an ERROR/MISSING node
//! anywhere in the tree) yields [`CanonResult::Unparseable`] — callers MUST
//! treat that as "requires approval", never "allow" (see
//! `crate::permissions::rules::evaluate_command`, which does exactly this).
