+ * Which columns carry a nominal brand, and what that brand is called.
+ *
+ * A brand is a type-level marker with no runtime existence at all. Measured on zod 4.4.3,
+ * `z.number().brand('X')` returns the *same object* it was called on, and the parsed value of
+ * `1` is `1`; the same holds for valibot 1.4.2, arktype 2.2.3 and effect 3.x, each of which
+ * hands the value back unchanged. So everything decided here is decided for the benefit of
+ * `tsc`, and nothing in it can be checked by parsing a value.
+ *
+ * That is exactly why the decisions live in one module rather than five. A plan that gives
+ * `posts.authorId` the wrong token emits a schema whose types are confidently wrong in every
+ * generator at once, and no runtime assertion anywhere in this repository would notice.
+ *
+ * ## The token
+ *
+ * `<export name>.<column>`, verbatim: `users.id`, `orgMembers.orgId`. Nothing is transformed,
+ * singularised or re-cased, which is the whole reason to spell it this way. Two Drizzle tables
+ * cannot share an export name inside one schema module and two columns cannot share a name
+ * inside one table, so the token is unique by construction and the question of what to do when
+ * two names collide after a transformation does not arise. It also reads back as the thing the
+ * user wrote:
+ *
+ *     Type 'number & $brand<"posts.id">' is not assignable to type 'number & $brand<"users.id">'
+ *
+ * The transformation question does arise for the exported *alias*, which has to be a TypeScript
+ * identifier. See `aliasesFor`.
+ *
+ * ## What a foreign key gets
+ *
+ * The token of the column it references, not one of its own. `posts.authorId` holds a user's id,
+ * so it is a `users.id`; giving it `posts.authorId` would invent a type nothing else in the
+ * schema produces and the feature would check nothing. That rule is applied transitively and it
+ * beats the column being part of its own table's key, which is what makes a join table keyed on
+ * two foreign keys come out right.
