+/**
+ * src/vault-practices.cts — Practices file format parser, discovery, matcher,
+ * and report formatter (milestone v1.10.0 Vault-Guided Code Generation,
+ * Phase 24-01/24-02).
+ *
+ * Responsibility (Phase 24-01 — parse + discover half of the module):
+ *   `parsePracticeFile(filePath, raw)` validates a single practice `.md` file's
+ *   frontmatter (id/scope/severity/applies-to/schemaVersion) against the D-03/
+ *   D-06/D-08/D-14 rules from 24-CONTEXT.md, returning skip-with-warning
+ *   results — it NEVER throws. `discoverPracticeFiles(cwd)` lists `.md` files
+ *   under the cached vault tier's `practices/` directory, excludes secret-named
+ *   files, and parses each survivor, degrading to an empty/benign result when
+ *   no vault cache is present.
+ *
+ * Responsibility (Phase 24-02 — matcher + global-bucket + formatter half):
+ *   `globMatch`/`fallbackGlobToRegex` provide deterministic glob matching,
+ *   feature-detecting `path.posix.matchesGlob` (Node >=22.5.0) with a hand-
+ *   rolled, linear-time regex fallback for the 22.0–22.4 gap (engines floor
+ *   is >=22.0.0). `matchPractices` partitions discovered practices into a
+ *   glob-matched `matched` bucket and an always-surfaced `global` bucket (a
+ *   bounded, fenced excerpt per global practice — the matcher itself makes
+ *   ZERO calls to any hosted model or scoring service; relevance of globals
+ *   is judged later by the calling agent from the excerpt text).
+ *   `renderPracticesReport` formats the result as plain English (COMM-01).
+ *
+ * Reuses (no new runtime dependency):
+ *   - `./frontmatter.cjs` (`extractFrontmatter`) — the ONLY sanctioned
+ *     frontmatter parser in this repo. Do NOT write a second one; do NOT
+ *     add the YAML devDependency to runtime `src/*.cts` (dev-only, forbidden here).
+ *   - `./vault.cjs` (`usableFiles`, `isSecretFile`, `readManifest`,
+ *     `readHeadBounded`) — the existing vault-tier discovery/secret/manifest/
+ *     bounded-read helpers.
+ *   - `node:path`'s `path.posix.matchesGlob` (feature-detected) — no
+ *     `minimatch`/`picomatch` dependency (RESEARCH STACK.md).
+ *
+ * Out of scope here (later plans): the CLI `practices match` router wiring
+ * and cross-tier client-beats-shared id dedup (explicitly DEFERRED to
+ * Phase 29 — see the comment in `discoverPracticeFiles`).
+ *
+ * Bounded-token discipline (T-24-05 / T-24-07 closure): every vault-authored
+ * string that reaches a rendered warning or report line — the path prefix of
+ * a skip warning, the frontmatter values already echoed into it, and the
+ * report's id/glob tokens — passes through `boundedToken` first, so a
+ * client-authored filename or frontmatter value can never inject an extra
+ * line or grow a report line unboundedly.
+ *
+ * ADR-457 build-at-publish: this TypeScript file is the SOURCE OF TRUTH. It
+ * compiles to the git-ignored `pp-core/bin/lib/vault-practices.cjs`; do NOT
+ * hand-edit the compiled output.
