5//! Storage rendering trait for partition, compression, and index strategies.
6//!
7//! Each dialect plugin implements [`StorageRenderer`] to translate the agnostic
8//! [`StoragePlan`] into native SQL fragments. All methods have default no-op
9//! implementations — dialects that lack a feature simply do not override.
10//!
11//! Two rules bind every implementation: callers must never branch on dialect
12//! name, and implementations must never panic on unsupported features — emit a
13//! storage warning event and produce no SQL instead.
