+//! Host-side glue for dynamic text field evaluation.

+//! supplies the **environment** — the current clock, OS login and environment
+//! variables — through [`FieldContext`]. A DWG library must stay deterministic
+//! and platform-neutral, so the one genuinely system-specific bit (reading the
+//! clock / OS user) lives here in the app instead.
