+/**
+ * Conditional templating for the file-backed instruction layers.
+ *
+ * Why this exists: `instructions/system.md` (and its `-lite` / `-pro`
+ * variants) used to be injected as layer-1 verbatim, listing ~100 tool names
+ * regardless of which tools the current request actually registered. At
+ * `minimal`/`light` tier only the 15 TIER1 tools survive
+ * (`@wrongstack/tools` `selectBuiltinToolsForTier`), yet the prompt still
+ * spent ~8k tokens explaining `kanban`, the browser tools, the SAGE memory
+ * tools and the Telegram bridge — none of which the model could call. The
+ * token-saving tier was spending most of its savings back in the prompt, and
+ * the text had to carry a "some of the above may be a lie" disclaimer to
+ * compensate.
+ *
+ * Layer-2 (`buildToolUsage`) already gated its guidance on the live tool set;
+ * this module gives the markdown layers the same power without splitting the
+ * files apart, so project/profile overrides keep working and the sources stay
+ * readable.
+ *
+ * ## Syntax
+ *
+ * Block form — HTML comments, invisible in a markdown preview:
+ *
+ * ```markdown
+ * <!--ws:if tool=kanban-->
+ * ## Work planning with Kanban
+ * ...
+ * <!--ws:else-->
+ * Track multi-step work with `todo`.
+ * <!--ws:end-->
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Conditions are space-separated attributes, ANDed together. Values within one
+ * attribute are comma-separated and ORed. A leading `!` negates the attribute.
+ *
+ * - `tool=a,b,c` — at least one of those tools is registered
+ * - `!tool=a,b`  — none of those tools is registered
+ * - `tier=off,medium` — the active token-saving tier is one of these
+ * - `role=leader` / `role=subagent`
+ *
+ * Inline form, for tool inventory lines:
+ *
+ * ```markdown
+ * {{tools:read,edit,write,patch}}
+ * ```
+ *
+ * renders only the registered names, backticked and comma-joined; it renders
+ * as the empty string when none are registered.
+ *
+ * ## Fail-open contract
+ *
+ * A malformed override must never blank the identity prompt, so every error
+ * path keeps text and drops only the marker:
+ *
+ * - unknown attribute / malformed condition → the condition is treated as true
+ * - stray `ws:else` / `ws:end` → the marker is dropped, surrounding text stays
+ * - unclosed `ws:if` at EOF → every branch's content is emitted in source order
+ * - no context passed → every condition is true (the "all tools present" view)
+ *
+ * @module core/instruction-template
