1//! Placement constraint evaluator for Traverse.
2//!
3//! Governs spec: 024-placement-constraint-evaluator
4//!
5//! Applies three tiers in order:
6//! 1. Caller hint — accept if provided and in permitted targets
7//! 2. Contract constraints — filter by permitted targets and service-type rules
8//! 3. Heuristics — select lowest-load eligible target from runtime snapshot
