//! Resolves and instantiates a module's import graph.
//!
//! Imports are top-level declarations; the reachable module set is fixed by source.
//! The [`ModuleResolver`] provides a module's canonical name and source, which is then
//! compiled and instantiated into the importing module's frame. Instantiated modules
//! contain unevaluated bodies (see [`crate::instantiate`]).
//!
//! ## Loading Process
//!
//! Traversal is post-order depth-first; a module is instantiated only after its imports.
//! This ensures frames contain only finished values and enforces acyclicity.
//! Cycles are detected during traversal and reported as [`LoadError::Cycle`].
//!
//! Modules are deduplicated by canonical name. All specs resolving to the same name
//! share a single instance, ensuring consistent identity across the import graph.
//!
//! [`Instances`] maps names to instances. Host-level caching is achieved by persisting
//! this map across multiple compilation sessions.
