//! `tower::Layer` / axum middleware for Wardline pipelines.
//!
//! **This crate is the one deliberate async boundary in the workspace**, and
//! only because axum requires it. Guard evaluation inside the middleware is
//! still synchronous — [`Pipeline::evaluate`] runs on the worker thread
//! after the body has been buffered. The async-ness is the framework's, not
//! Wardline's.
//!
//! If you do not already have an async stack, use
//! `examples/sync_http_server` instead.
