class_name Decision
## Static utility — picks the next Job for a pawn via the 5-layer pipeline.
##
## Layer order (top wins):
##   1. Incapacitation  — has_method probe; implementation lands Phase 9.
##   2. Forced job      — pawn.forced_job; cleared (consumed) on pick.
##   3. Status interrupt — stub; implementation lands Phase 9.
##   4. Work providers  — iterated highest priority first; first non-null Job wins.
##   5. Idle            — returns null (caller interprets as "stand still").
##
## Callers pass the world-scoped provider list so Decision is fully stateless.
## This makes it safe to call from any pawn tick without shared mutable state.


## Returns the best Job for `pawn`, or null if the pawn should idle.
##
## `work_providers` is the current world-scoped list of WorkProvider nodes
## (e.g. [RestProvider]). Order does not matter — the method sorts by priority.
## `pawn` is duck-typed: must expose .pawn_name, .forced_job, and
## has_method("is_incapacitated").
