Always adhere to `CODING.md` and `docs/CODING_LUA.md`:
- No explanatory comments.
- Strict `local` variables; zero global namespace pollution.
- Explicit `nil, err` error returns.
- EmmyLua typing (`---@param`, `---@return`) and StyLua formatting.
- Max nesting depth 3; `ipairs` for lists, `pairs` for tables.
