2//! Tasteful terminal styling for Heddle CLI output.
3//!
4//! Heddle's brand voice ("precise, calm, conversational") translates
5//! to a deliberately restrained terminal palette: dim/bright contrast
6//! and bold weight do most of the structural work; saturated color
7//! appears only at semantic seams (success/warning/error,
8//! confidence band, identity vs. id). No rainbow output, no syntax
9//! highlighting density.
10//!
11//! Color decisions are made **once** at CLI startup via
12//! [`init_from_cli`], which consults — in precedence order:
13//!
14//! 1. `--no-color` CLI flag (force off)
15//! 2. `NO_COLOR` env var (per <https://no-color.org>) — force off
16//! 3. `CLICOLOR_FORCE=1` env var — force on, even on a non-TTY
17//! 4. stdout isatty — auto-detected default
18//!
19//! The decision is stored in a process-wide [`OnceLock`] so render
20//! sites consult a `bool` rather than re-querying the environment per
21//! line. JSON output is *always* uncolored; that decision happens at
22//! the print site, not here — `should_output_json` short-circuits
23//! before any styled helper runs.

150// - `error`: ANSI 8-bit 167 — a muted rust/terracotta. Cooler and

152// shouting.
153// - `dim`: standard "faint" weight — terminal-theme aware, since
