-[FILE METADATA]
-high_level_purpose:
-- Provides narrative documentation and runnable examples for common CSV reading and writing scenarios.
-- Serves as a curated index of example programs demonstrating the public API.
-
-core_domain_concepts:
-- Example workflows: basic read/write, Serde integration, delimiter configuration, and header handling.
-- User guidance: links and references to example binaries in the `examples` directory.
-
-correctness_critical_invariants_and_assumptions:
-- Assumption: examples reflect the intended public API usage and are kept in sync with actual behavior.
-- Invariant: documentation references example filenames and commands that should remain valid.
-
-lifecycle_and_main_flows:
-- Documentation flow: each section introduces a scenario, presents code, and shows how to run it.
-
-edge_cases_and_tricky_behavior:
-- Examples emphasize error handling via `Result` and `?`, illustrating propagation expectations rather than exhaustive error cases.
-
-concurrency_and_ordering_contracts:
-- None; documentation only.
-
-error_propagation_and_recovery:
-- Examples demonstrate standard error propagation via `Result` and explicit error printing in `main`.
-
-design_and_responsibility_boundaries:
-- This module is purely documentation; it does not implement runtime logic.
-
-likely_bug_hotspots_and_risks:
-- Risk: example code or command lines can drift from actual API behavior, leading to user confusion.
-
-refactoring_and_extension_notes:
-- Keep example lists and headings in sync with actual example files when adding or removing examples.
-
-usage_guidance_for_future_llms:
-- For code review, focus on: accuracy of example code and references to example binaries.
-- For architectural review, consider: whether new features should be illustrated here for user onboarding.
-- For adding new features, pay particular attention to: updating the example list and ensuring instructions remain runnable.
-- When summarizing for a human, always mention: this is documentation with runnable examples for the CSV API.
