+// Shared browser-test mock body for the SvelteKit `$app/forms` virtual module.
+//
+// Imported into a sync vi.mock factory via the $mocks alias:
+//   import * as formsMock from '$mocks/$app/forms';
+//   vi.mock('$app/forms', () => ({ ...formsMock }));
+//
+// `enhance` intercepts the form's submit event, invokes the component's
+// SubmitFunction, and — when that returns a post-submit callback — calls it
+// with the configurable `_formResult`. Tests drive the success/failure branch
+// with `setFormResult({ type: 'failure' })`. The embedded `beforeEach` resets
+// the result before every test, so isolation is structural, not per-spec.
+// See ADR-012.
