/**
* Constructs an `Ok<T>` variant, representing a successful outcome.

* It wraps the provided `data` (the success value) and ensures the `error` property is `null`.
*
* @template T - The type of the success value.
* @param data - The success value to be wrapped in the `Ok` variant.
* @returns An `Ok<T>` object with the provided data and `error` set to `null`.
* @example
* ```ts
* const successfulResult = Ok("Operation completed successfully");

/**
* Constructs an `Err<E>` variant, representing a failure outcome.
*
* Wraps the provided `error` (the failure value) and sets `data` to `null`.
*
* **Don't call `Err(null)`.** It produces `{ data: null, error: null }`,
* structurally identical to `Ok(null)`. The built-in `isErr` check
* (`result.error !== null`) reads it as Ok, silently misclassifying your
* failure as success. `Err(undefined)` is also discouraged: the discriminator
* technically works (`undefined !== null`), but `undefined` is falsy, so
* downstream `if (error)` checks trip and the error carries no information
* anyway. Pass a meaningful error value (a string, a tagged error from
* `defineErrors`, an `Error` instance), or use `Ok(null)`/`Ok(undefined)` if
* what you meant was success-with-no-payload.
*
* At `catch (error: unknown)` boundaries, wrap the caught value in a tagged
* error rather than passing it through. A `defineErrors` factory like
* `MyError.Unexpected({ cause: error })` is always non-null by construction,
* so the discriminator works regardless of what was thrown.
*
* See `docs/philosophy/err-null-is-ok-null.md` for the full rationale.
*
* @template E - The type of the error value.
* @param error - The error value to wrap. Don't pass `null` or `undefined`.
* @returns An `Err<E>` object with the provided error and `data` set to `null`.
* @example
* ```ts
* const failedResult = Err(new TypeError("Invalid input"));
* // failedResult is { error: TypeError("Invalid input"), data: null }

/**
* Type guard to runtime check if an unknown value is a valid `Result<T, E>`.
*
* A value is considered a valid `Result` if:
* 1. It is a non-null object.
* 2. It has both `data` and `error` properties.
*
* The `error` property is the runtime discriminant:
* - `error === null` represents `Ok<T>`, even when `data` is also `null` (`Ok(null)`).
* - `error !== null` represents `Err<E>`, even if external data also includes a non-null `data` value.
*
* This function checks only the Result shape. It does not validate the
* success or error payload types.
*
* @template T - The expected type of the success value if the value is an `Ok` variant (defaults to `unknown`).
* @template E - The expected type of the error value if the value is an `Err` variant (defaults to `unknown`).
* @param value - The value to check.
* @returns `true` if the value conforms to the `Result` structure, `false` otherwise.
* If `true`, TypeScript's type system will narrow `value` to `Result<T, E>`.
* @example
* ```ts
* declare const someValue: unknown;
*
* if (isResult<string, Error>(someValue)) {
* // someValue is now typed as Result<string, Error>
* if (isOk(someValue)) {
* console.log(someValue.data); // string

/**
* Resolves a value that may or may not be wrapped in a `Result`, returning the final value.
*
* This function handles the common pattern where a value might be a `Result<T, E>` or a plain `T`:
* - If `value` is an `Ok<T>` variant, returns the contained success value.
* - If `value` is an `Err<E>` variant, throws the contained error value.
* - If `value` is not a `Result` (i.e., it's already a plain value of type `T`),
* returns it as-is.
*
* This is useful when working with APIs that might return either direct values or Results,
* allowing you to normalize them to the actual value or propagate errors via throwing.
*
* Use `resolve` when the input might or might not be a Result.
* Use `unwrap` when you know the input is definitely a Result.
*
* @template T - The type of the success value (if `value` is `Ok<T>`) or the type of the plain value.
* @template E - The type of the error value (if `value` is `Err<E>`).
* @param value - The value to resolve. Can be a `Result<T, E>` or a plain value of type `T`.
* @returns The final value of type `T` if `value` is `Ok<T>` or if `value` is already a plain `T`.
* @throws The error value `E` if `value` is an `Err<E>` variant.
*
* @example
* ```ts
* // Example with an Ok variant
* const okResult = Ok("success data");
* const resolved = resolve(okResult); // "success data"
*
* // Example with an Err variant
* const errResult = Err(new Error("failure"));
* try {
* resolve(errResult);
* } catch (e) {
* console.error(e.message); // "failure"
* }
*
* // Example with a plain value
* const plainValue = "plain data";
* const resolved = resolve(plainValue); // "plain data"
*
* // Example with a function that might return Result or plain value
* declare function mightReturnResult(): string | Result<string, Error>;
* const outcome = mightReturnResult();
* try {
* const finalValue = resolve(outcome); // handles both cases

* - If the `Result` is an `Ok<T>` variant, returns the contained success value of type `T`.
* - If the `Result` is an `Err<E>` variant, throws the contained error value of type `E`.
*
* Unlike `resolve`, this function expects the input to always be a `Result` type,
* making it more direct for cases where you know you're working with a `Result`.
*
* @template T - The type of the success value contained in the `Ok<T>` variant.
* @template E - The type of the error value contained in the `Err<E>` variant.
* @param result - The `Result<T, E>` to unwrap.
* @returns The success value of type `T` if the `Result` is `Ok<T>`.
* @throws The error value of type `E` if the `Result` is `Err<E>`.

* @example
* ```ts
* // Example with an Ok variant
