+/**
+ * Context-based confirmation service. Provides an async `confirm()` function
+ * that any component can call without managing its own modal state.
+ *
+ * ## Setup
+ * Mount `<ConfirmDialog>` once in the root `+layout.svelte` — it sets up the context
+ * automatically. Then call `getConfirmService()` from any descendant component.
+ *
+ * ## Usage in event handlers
+ * ```typescript
+ * import { getConfirmService } from '$lib/services/confirm.svelte.js';
+ * const { confirm } = getConfirmService();
+ *
+ * async function handleDelete() {
+ *   const ok = await confirm({ title: m.confirm_delete_title(), destructive: true });
+ *   if (ok) doDelete();
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Usage with use:enhance
+ * ```svelte
+ * <form use:enhance={async ({ cancel }) => {
+ *   const ok = await confirm({ title: m.confirm_delete_title(), destructive: true });
+ *   if (!ok) cancel();
+ * }}>
+ * ```
