-The engine emits **tokens**, not text. A render gives you the literal runs and the interpolated values, interleaved in render order — because different targets need different things from the same template. HTML wants escaped text; a spreadsheet wants the number `1000` and a cell format; a PDF wants styled runs. Escaping belongs at the output edge, not in the engine, so a string is just one way to consume the stream.

 ```js
-import { template, text } from 'sjabloon';
+import { template, text } from "sjabloon";
 
-const cell = template('{{ total * 1.21 }}');
+const cell = template("{{ total * 1.21 }}");

-- **Values are pre-stringify.** `{{ total }}` holding `1000` yields the number `1000`, not `"1000"`, and nullish stays nullish. Stringification is deferred to `text()` — so a value with no primitive conversion reaches the stream intact and only fails when something asks for text.
-- **Order is render order.** Loop bodies append once per iteration, untaken branches append nothing, and block expressions (`#if` conditions, `#each` collections) never appear — they steer the render rather than being part of it.
-- **Literals are the template's static runs**, one token each, never merged and never empty. So the interleaving tells you the shape: a bare `{{ amount }}` is exactly one value token, while `Total: {{ amount }}` is a literal followed by a value. That distinction is why the engine emits tokens instead of a string plus a list of values — a spreadsheet cell that is *only* a number is a different thing from one that happens to contain one.

 Use `isDiagnostic(error)` when a host needs to distinguish those errors. It returns `true` only for errors produced or translated by the same sjabloon module instance. Copying a documented `code`, `start`, `end`, and `blocks` onto another error does not authenticate it. A diagnostic from another installed copy or module instance returns `false`. All three editions share one core, so mixing them in a single process is safe: an error thrown through `sjabloon/html` authenticates through `sjabloon`.
 
+#### Relocating a diagnostic
+
+An embedder that compiles templates out of a larger document — a cell in a report, a field in a form — reports the fault in its own coordinates, not the template's. `relocate(diagnostic, { prefix, offset })` returns the copy to re-throw:
+
+```js
+import { isDiagnostic, relocate, template } from "sjabloon";
+
+try {
+  template(cell.value);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (!isDiagnostic(error)) throw error;
+  throw relocate(error, { prefix: "detail.cells[0].value: " });
+}
+```
+
+The copy keeps the original's class, prepends `prefix` to the message verbatim, shifts `start` and `end` by `offset`, and carries every other field across by descriptor — including the frozen `blocks` context, which stays frozen and non-writable on the copy. `blocks` is the same array, so its openers' own `start`/`end` stay in template coordinates while the error's span moves. It is registered exactly as the original was, so it passes `isDiagnostic` — and an expression fault, which is an xprsn diagnostic sjabloon translated into template coordinates, is relocated by xprsn so the copy stays authentic to both packages just as the original is. The original is left untouched. Relocation belongs here rather than in the embedder because authentication is by identity: a copy an embedder builds itself cannot be authenticated, and a field added to a diagnostic here would be a field the embedder's copy silently drops. Passing anything but a sjabloon diagnostic throws a `TypeError`.
