//! `{name}`-style template interpolation against a Polydat Kernel.
//!
//! Surface #5 home (per `polydat/docs/design/comprehension_cutover_contact_surfaces.md`).
//! Previously lived in `polydat::iteration::comprehension::eval`; relocated
//! to the kernel module because the operation is general
//! GK-kernel facility, not a comprehension concern. The
//! comprehension runtime uses it; synthesisers use it; the
//! executor uses it; but it doesn't depend on comprehension AST
//! shape.
//!
//! ## Functions
//!
//! - [`interpolate_via_kernel`] — looks up `{name}` placeholders
//!   against the kernel's chain-aware bindings via
//!   [`PolydatKernel::lookup`].
//! - [`interpolate_with_lookup`] — the generic engine; the
//!   `lookup` closure decides where each leaf's value comes
//!   from. Used by callers that compose their own lookup over
//!   the kernel plus workload params plus synthesis-time
//!   probes.
//! - [`collect_string_interp_refs`] — extracts the placeholder
//!   names from a text without doing substitution.
//!
//! ## Semantics
//!
//! Iterative leaf-placeholder substitution with escape handling
//! and a round cap:
//!
//! - **Leaf**: `{name}` whose body contains no further `{`. The
//!   dynamic form `{a_{b}_c}` is resolved by first substituting
//!   `{b}`, then re-scanning for the resulting `{a_<b-value>_c}`
//!   as a leaf.
//! - **Escape**: `\{` and `\}` pass through as literal `{` /
//!   `}` and are removed from the final string.
//! - **Round cap**: if substitution doesn't stabilize in
//!   `ROUND_HARD` iterations, returns Err (the input had
//!   cyclic placeholders).
//! - **Unresolved name**: any `{name}` that survives the
//!   substitution rounds errors with a diagnostic naming the
//!   missing binding.
