## Purpose

Source: AI-written repository summary; verify against source.

> Diesel is a type-safe ORM and query builder for Rust that eliminates boilerplate database interaction code and runtime errors by leveraging Rust's type system.

## Main parts

> Public API & Expression DSL: Type-safe query builder and expression abstractions for composing SQL without runtime interpretation.

## Evidence gaps

> RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
> Files marked “likely” are guessed from their names.
> Runtime versions and other prerequisites were not captured.
> Root development commands were not established. Check the root manifest and contributor guide.
> Setup has not been executed. Environment variables, external services and command order may require additional source documentation.
