+//! what the composer edits, the doc persists and the transcript projects to a
+//! chip. Delivery to any harness ([`annotation_prompt`]) swaps each token for
+//! `[Annotation N]` and appends one text block per element (selector, path,
+//! box, styles and a fenced HTML excerpt), so models without vision get the
