//! RunnableSequence - the core LCEL pipeline type.
//!
//! A `RunnableSequence<I, O>` chains multiple `Runnable` steps together,
//! where the output of each step feeds into the input of the next.
//! Internally, steps are stored as `Box<dyn RunnableAny>` (type-erased),
//! but the `I` and `O` type parameters preserve the pipeline's
//! input and output types at compile time.
