4//! Centralized, structured diagnostics for build-time template-authoring
5//! mistakes.
6//!
7//! Every "the developer wrote invalid template syntax" problem is described by
8//! a [`Diagnostic`] so they share one consistent shape (title + location +
9//! offending snippet + actionable `help`). A [`Diagnostic`] is **plain data**:
10//! it carries no color and never decides whether output is a terminal.
11//!
12//! Presentation is the responsibility of the **entry point**, not the library:
13//! - `webui-cli` reads the structured fields and colorizes them with
14//! `console::style()` for a friendly terminal report.
15//! - `webui-ffi`, `webui-node`, and `webui-wasm` surface the plain
16//! [`fmt::Display`] text through their own error channel
17//! (`webui_last_error`, `napi::Error`, `JsValue`) so the host application can
18//! handle it however it likes.
19//!
20//! A [`Diagnostic`] reaches those consumers as the payload of
21//! [`crate::ParserError::Template`]; its [`fmt::Display`] renders the plain
22//! report below:
23//!
24//! ```text
25//! error: invalid @pointerdown handler [invalid-event-handler]
26//! in component <mail-inbox-page> · element <button>
27//! @pointerdown="e.preventDefault()"
28//! help: use @pointerdown="{handler()}" or @pointerdown="{handler(e)}" to pass the event
29//! ```
