Keep naming, structure, and style consistent with nearby code.
Add or update tests when behavior changes.

Implementation Checklist

Confirm the smallest viable file set to edit.
Handle edge cases and explicit failure paths.
Avoid speculative abstractions and dead code.
Add concise comments only where intent is not obvious.
Run available validation steps before finalizing.
