+/**
+ * `@formspec/dsl` - DSL functions for defining FormSpec forms
+ *
+ * This package provides the builder functions for creating form specifications:
+ * - `field.*` - Field builders (text, number, boolean, enum, dynamicEnum)
+ * - `group()` - Visual grouping
+ * - `when()` + `is()` - Conditional visibility
+ * - `formspec()` - Top-level form definition
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```typescript
+ * import { formspec, field, group, when, is } from "@formspec/dsl";
+ *
+ * const InvoiceForm = formspec(
+ *   group("Customer",
+ *     field.text("customerName", { label: "Customer Name" }),
+ *     field.dynamicEnum("country", "fetch_countries", { label: "Country" }),
+ *   ),
+ *   group("Invoice Details",
+ *     field.number("amount", { label: "Amount", min: 0 }),
+ *     field.enum("status", ["draft", "sent", "paid"] as const),
+ *     when(is("status", "draft"),
+ *       field.text("internalNotes", { label: "Internal Notes" }),
