1//! AST surface that `harn-lint` consumes to enforce `.harn.prompt`
2//! drift-prevention rules (#1669).
3//!
4//! The template parser and AST are otherwise internal — exposing a
5//! shallow read-only view through this module keeps the lint crate
6//! free of template-engine internals while still giving rules enough
7//! structure to walk conditionals, sections, and includes.
