//! The breaking/compatible classifier.
//!
//! [`classify`] turns one structural [`Change`] from the walk into a directional
//! [`Verdict`]. Direction is judged from the consumer's side (ADR-0008 decision
//! 14): a change is breaking when it shifts or reuses a wire identity or narrows
//! a consumer-visible guarantee, and compatible when it only relaxes or appends.
//!
//! The classifier reads the resolved IR of both sides, never source, so every
//! bound it compares is the bound a backend sees. That is what makes the
//! `[defaults].timing` rule need no special case: the manifest default is
//! already resolved into every untimed interaction (ADR-0008 decision 12), so
//! editing it arrives here as an ordinary [`Category::TimingChanged`] on each
//! defaulted interaction and classifies by the bound rules below (ridl §9.1).
//!
//! Two properties are deliberate:
//!
//! - **No implication proving.** Contract clauses are carried as canonical
//!   source text (ADR-0008 decision 14), so the classifier compares text. Any
//!   `require` text change is breaking, and any `ensure` text change is
//!   breaking; it never tries to show that one clause implies another.
//! - **Unlisted is breaking.** A shape the table does not name is classified
//!   breaking. A false "breaking" costs a maintainer one review; a false
//!   "compatible" ships a wire break.
