//! `EphemeralSpec` — the operator-facing typed surface for ephemeral
//! Aplicacao installations.
//!
//! `EphemeralSpec` is *sugar* on top of `ProcessSpec`. The compounding move
//! is to keep one wire format (`Process`, the Unix-process CRD) and let
//! ephemeral envs be a Process with `:intent (:aplicacao …)` +
//! `:lifetime (:ephemeral …)`. This struct gives that combination a
//! dedicated `(defephemeral …)` keyword and a typed `From` bridge so
//! authoring stays first-class without forking the CRD.
//!
//! Lisp authoring:
//! ```lisp
//! (defephemeral closed-loop-attest
//!   :aplicacao  (:chart-ref "oci://ghcr.io/pleme-io/charts/lareira-demo-app"
//!                :version "0.5.5"
//!                :profile "all-in-one"
