+/**
+ * The behaviour prediction contract (#2356) — what a lexicon's
+ * `predictBehaviour()` is allowed to mean.
+ *
+ * `describeResources()` (./observation.ts) answers whether a declared entity
+ * exists. `observeResourcesDeep()` (./deep-observation.ts) answers what its
+ * properties currently are. Both report facts a substrate was asked for. This
+ * third axis reports something no substrate holds: what the declared estate
+ * would *do* at a stated traffic level — cost per hour, how far each entity is
+ * from saturation, the error rate to expect, whether it survives a named
+ * failure, and a smaller size that would still carry the load.
+ *
+ * None of that is a measurement, and the type is built so it cannot be read as
+ * one.
+ *
+ * ## A prediction is not a bill
+ *
+ * The one failure mode that matters here is somebody quoting a modeled figure
+ * as money owed. Four things in this module work against that, and it is worth
+ * being exact about how much they buy, because an overstated guarantee is how
+ * a consumer ends up trusting one:
+ *
+ *   1. Money appears in exactly one shape, {@link PredictedRate}, and that
+ *      shape carries a literal `rate: "per-hour"` discriminant. There is no
+ *      field anywhere for an amount, a period, an account, an invoice or a
+ *      due date, so an elapsed charge is not expressible *in this module's
+ *      types*.
+ *   2. A figure cannot exist without {@link PredictedBehaviour.at}, the traffic
+ *      level it was predicted for. A bill is for an hour that happened; this is
+ *      for an hour the engine was asked to imagine.
+ *   3. {@link BehaviourProvenance} is required on every entity, and its
+ *      {@link BehaviourProvenance.basis} is a closed two-value enum: `modeled`
+ *      off list prices, or `validated` against a real bill. A figure that will
+ *      not say which of the two it is cannot be constructed.
+ *   4. A refusal is a separate member of the {@link BehaviourResult} union with
+ *      no figures on it at all, so "the engine is gone" and "the engine says
+ *      zero" are different objects rather than the same object with zeroes in
+ *      it. This one is airtight: there is no `entities` key on the refusal arm
+ *      to be empty and no total to be zero.
+ *
+ * **What this does not do is make a bill a type error.** A consumer holding a
+ * {@link PredictedBehaviour} can write
+ * `const { rate, ...rest } = cost; return { amount: rest.perHour * hours }`
+ * and TypeScript will not object; the discriminant is a field on an object, and
+ * a field can be dropped. behold's own validator rebuilds `cost` as
+ * `{ perHour, currency }` and its estate sum carries no discriminant at all, so
+ * the marker is stripped by the first consumer *by design*. What the shape
+ * genuinely buys is that a bill cannot be constructed **accidentally** — every
+ * route from a prediction to something that reads as money owed has a
+ * deliberate destructure or cast in it, and shows up in review as one. Treat
+ * rules 1 to 3 as a speed bump with a name, and rule 4 as the enforced one.
+ *
+ * ## The engine sees no credential and writes nothing
+ *
+ * {@link PredictBehaviourOptions} mirrors `observeResourcesDeep`'s options
+ * field for field, plus `traffic`, `edges` and `edgeCoverage`, and then works
+ * against credentials on two levels. The type declares every obvious name
+ * `?: never`, which catches the deliberate attempt; and
+ * {@link screenBehaviourRequest} walks the whole request at runtime, matching
+ * credential-shaped **values** as well as credential-shaped keys, which is what
+ * catches the accident.
+ *
+ * `screenBehaviourRequest` is the one entry point — its own doc comment carries
+ * the call sequence, and nothing else here restates it. The runtime walk is the
+ * load-bearing half, because the type cannot see the two channels that actually
+ * carry a secret in practice: `entities[*].props` is `Record<string, unknown>`
+ * straight out of the build, and a lexicon surfacing a connection string puts
+ * one there without deciding to. See {@link assertNoCredentialInOptions} for
+ * exactly what the walk detects and, more importantly, what it does not.
+ *
+ * `edges` is the one place the options mirror breaks, and the field's own doc
+ * says why: the epic's input is a resource graph, a deep read has no use for
+ * neighbours, and a prediction is nothing but statements about paths through
+ * the estate. It carries `IREdge` (./graph-ir.ts) rather than an edge type of
+ * this contract's own, because that is already the shape both the declared
+ * path and the live path produce.
+ *
+ * Nothing in the options is a handle. There is no client, no transport, no
+ * apply callback, no writer — only strings, a name list and the entity map the
+ * build already produced. An engine handed this cannot reach the account even
+ * if it wanted to, which is the structural half of "it never writes".
+ *
+ * ## The tri-state, and why it is not `UnobservedReason`
+ *
+ * Behaviour keeps the same three-verdict discipline `./observation.ts`
+ * established — PREDICTED, NOT-PREDICTABLE-FOR-THIS-KIND, and NOT-PREDICTED
+ * with a named reason — but on a stricter total: every entity the caller asked
+ * about lands in `entities` or in `unpredicted`, never in neither. The thin
+ * read needs a third position because "the provider says it is not there" is a
+ * real answer with no row to sit on. A prediction has no such answer. An entity
+ * either got a figure or it did not, and when it did not there is a reason,
+ * so an entity in neither map means the lexicon lost track of it.
+ *
+ * {@link BehaviourUnpredictedReason} derives from `UnobservedReason` rather
+ * than restating it, so the four shared verdicts provably keep their spelling
+ * and their meaning. It differs in two ways, both deliberate:
+ *
+ *   - `no-credentials` is **excluded**. A behaviour read has no credential to
+ *     be missing — see the section above — so an enum that could say it would
+ *     be inviting a lexicon to send an operator hunting for a variable this
+ *     contract forbids.
+ *   - Four reasons about the predictor itself are **added** — `no-engine`,
+ *     `engine-unreachable`, `engine-out-of-credit` and `engine-over-quota` —
+ *     because the epic wants a missing engine named and `no-binding` is about
+ *     the environment resolving to no target, a different axis. They are four
+ *     rather than one because each has a different remedy, and a refusal that
+ *     names the wrong remedy is worse than a slow one: set a variable, check an
+ *     address, pay for the account, or wait for a window. The last two arrive
+ *     from an engine that answered perfectly well (#2359), so folding them into
+ *     `engine-unreachable` would send somebody to debug a network that is fine.
+ *
+ * ## Deltas: the invariant is here, the presentation is not
+ *
+ * The epic wants a declared prediction and a live prediction shown as a delta,
+ * and #2358 posts one on a merge request. This module deliberately ships no
+ * delta type and no differencing function. What it ships is the one thing a
+ * hand-rolled diff silently loses, which is that a figure's context does not
+ * survive subtraction: {@link compareFigures} classifies a pair `comparable`,
+ * `mixed-basis`, `mixed-level` or `mixed-engine`, and the rule this contract
+ * binds its consumers to is that anything but `comparable` must be marked
+ * wherever it is shown. A `modeled` figure minus a `validated` one is not a
+ * change in the estate; part of that difference is the gap between a price list
+ * and an invoice. Nor is a 100 rps figure minus a 1000 rps one, which is why
+ * {@link compareProvenance} — which cannot see `at` and never could — is not
+ * the function to reach for. How the mark looks is #2358's to define. Whether
+ * there is one is not.
+ *
+ * ## Shape compatibility with the overlay
+ *
+ * {@link PredictedBehaviour} is the object `chant graph --live --overlay` puts
+ * on a node as `attrs._behaviour`.
+ *
+ * On the graph, `meta._behaviour` takes {@link BehaviourReportMeta} **or the
+ * whole {@link BehaviourRefusalReport}** — not a bare {@link BehaviourRefusal}.
+ * behold reads that key as `{ engine?, version?, at?, total?, refusal? }` and
+ * branches on the presence of `refusal`, so a bare `BehaviourRefusal` has no
+ * `refusal` key, falls through to the engine check, and is dropped as
+ * "meta.engine missing" — a refusal that renders as nothing at all, which is
+ * the one outcome this contract exists to prevent. #2360 implements this
+ * sentence, so it says what behold does.
+ *
+ * behold reads those keys and does arithmetic on the engine's figures; it never
+ * produces one of its own. Fields beyond what it reads (`cause` and `source` on
+ * a refusal, `edgeCoverage` on the meta) are additive and ignorable.

+ *
+ * - `read-failed` — the engine was reached and the prediction errored.
+ * - `no-binding` — the environment resolves to no concrete target to predict.

+ *
+ * - `no-engine` — no variable in the chain named an engine. Nothing is
+ *   configured; this is a setup state, not a failure.
+ * - `engine-unreachable` — a variable named an engine and it did not answer.
+ * - `engine-out-of-credit` — the engine answered, and refused because the
+ *   account behind it has no balance left (#2359).
+ * - `engine-over-quota` — the engine answered, and refused because a rate or
+ *   volume limit is spent (#2359).
+ * - `credential-in-request` — the request itself carried something that must
+ *   not leave the process, so nothing was sent. The one refusal chant raises

+ *   {@link screenBehaviourRequest}.
+ *
+ * The last four are one axis split four ways, because each has a different
+ * remedy and a refusal exists to be acted on. `no-engine` wants a variable
+ * set. `engine-unreachable` wants the address checked. `engine-out-of-credit`
+ * wants somebody to pay, and no amount of waiting fixes it.
+ * `engine-over-quota` usually wants nothing but the window to roll over, and

+ *
+ * ## What it detects
+ *
+ * 1. **A credential-shaped value**, whatever the key is called: the PEM / JWT /
+ *    `Bearer` shapes in `CREDENTIAL_SHAPES`, plus the provider-prefixed tokens
+ *    in `CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_SHAPES` (GitHub, GitLab, OpenAI, Stripe, Slack, AWS,
+ *    Google, npm).
+ * 2. **A password in userinfo**, with or without a scheme — `new URL()` for the
+ *    former and a pattern for `app:hunter2@db.internal:5432/prod`, which is how
+ *    a DSN is usually written and which `URL` will not parse at all.
+ * 3. **A credential-shaped key**, but only when its value is a string of at
+ *    least {@link MIN_CREDENTIAL_LENGTH} characters that is not an evident
+ *    reference, and only when the key is not in the reference family
+ *    ({@link REFERENCE_KEY_SUFFIXES}).
+ *
+ * Rules 1 and 2 throw. Rule 3, and a structure deeper than the walk reads,
+ * produce a refusal instead — see {@link screenBehaviourRequest} for why the
+ * blast radii differ.
+ *
+ * **The name layer is a fast path, not a safety net.** After the gating above
+ * it fires on very little, and a credential under a benign name — `dsn`,
+ * `config`, `note` — is caught by rules 1 and 2 or not at all. That is the
+ * intended division of labour and the reason those two exist; do not read
+ * rule 3 as the guarantee.
+ *
+ * ## What it deliberately does not detect
+ *
+ * Rule 1 is **a denylist of known formats, not a proof**. A token from a
+ * provider nobody has added, an internal issuer's format, a bare random string
+ * or a base64 blob passes every rule here, as does a secret split across two
+ * fields or encoded. There is no entropy scoring, on purpose: this walks build
+ * output full of ids, ARNs, hashes and digests, and a heuristic that refuses
+ * those would refuse real projects rather than protect them. So the honest
+ * statement of the guarantee is that a credential a human would recognize on
+ * sight will not reach the engine by accident, and that a novel or opaque
+ * secret still can. A lexicon author putting secret material in `props` is
+ * outside what this contract can catch, and the remedy there is not to.
