// =====================================================================
// trace.sx — error return-trace formatting (ERR step E3.3).
//
// Reads the thread-local return-trace buffer (ERR E3.1, populated by the
// push/clear wiring in E3.2) and renders it. A `raise` / propagating `try`
// pushes a frame; an absorbing site (`catch` / `or value` / destructure)
// clears the buffer. So at format time the buffer holds exactly the frames
// of failures that escaped to where you're formatting — typically inside a
// `catch` handler (the clear fires when the handler completes, so the body
// still sees the chain) or the (future) failable-`main` wrapper.
//
// Frame resolution (ERR E3.0 slice 3a): in compiled code a frame is a pointer
// to an interned `TraceFrame` the compiler stamped in at the push site, so the
// location resolves in-process with no DWARF and no symbolizer. (The comptime
// path — a packed `(func_id, ir_offset)` resolved via the interpreter's IR
// tables — lands with slice 3b.)

// resolve unambiguously to the consumer's own. Layout MUST match

// library/vendors/sx_trace_runtime/sx_trace.c.
