//! Structured loss as substrate-located opacities.
//!
//! [`Transparency<P>`] is a [`Loss`] monoid whose values are either
//! [`Transparency::Clear`] (no opacity — empty light) or
//! [`Transparency::Opaque`] (a `BTreeMap` from substrate location `P` to a
//! per-location [`PropertyVerdict`]). The `combine` operation **unions** the
//! opacity maps at the same path via [`PropertyVerdict::merge_with`], which
//! is the structural realisation of Beer's "audit channel" (System 3*)
//! propagating *located* trouble through the system rather than collapsing
//! it to a scalar.
//!
//! ## Catastrophic absorption
//!
//! `Transparency::Opaque(BTreeMap::new())` — `Opaque` with no entries — is
//! the catastrophic sentinel returned by [`Loss::total`]. It is the
//! absorbing element under `combine`: anything combined with it returns it.
//! Public constructors hide this footgun:
//!
//! - [`Transparency::clear`] — the identity (no opacity).
//! - [`Transparency::single`] — a single located opacity.
//! - [`Transparency::opaque`] — a single located opacity (canonical
//! constructor name; structurally identical to `single`).
//! - [`Transparency::catastrophic`] — the absorbing element.
//!
//! The `Opaque(BTreeMap)` variant is `pub(crate)`: outside the
//! `terni::transparency` module the variant cannot be named directly, so
//! `Transparency::Opaque(BTreeMap::new())` is not constructible from
//! downstream code. The catastrophic sentinel can only arise through
//! [`Loss::total`] or [`Transparency::catastrophic`] (explicit) or via
//! [`Loss::combine`]-driven absorption from within the crate (legit, by
//! composition). Per Seam I1 (pre-merge adversarial review, 2026-05-30):
//! the invariant moves from "doc comment" to type system.
//!
//! ## Why not `P: Default`
//!
//! There is **no** `P : Default` bound. The identity element is structural
//! (`Clear` carries nothing); the absorbing element is structural too
//! (`Opaque(empty)`). Downstream substrate-reference types — notably
//! `prism_core::Ref` — can't sensibly have a `Default` impl (an "empty"
//! `@`-prefixed ref is meaningless), and the Default bound on the path
//! type would force every consumer to invent one. The enum encoding
//! sidesteps that entirely.
//!
//! ## Citation
//!
//! The "located opacity" framing follows R. Reyes' 2024 reconstruction of
//! Beer's Viable System Model, which formalises the audit channel (VSM
//! System 3*) as a sheaf-of-troubles indexed by substrate locations rather
//! than a single scalar of "how broken." See the systemic.engineering
//! corpus, `cybernetics/beer-error-propagation.md`.
