+//! Generic signal handlers for stack overflow and access violation detection.
+//!
+//! This module provides a mechanism to catch stack overflows and access violations
+//! and handle them with custom callbacks instead of crashing with a raw signal.
+//!
+//! On POSIX systems (Linux, macOS), we use sigaltstack to set up an alternate
+//! signal stack and install a SIGSEGV handler that detects stack overflows.
+//!
+//! On Windows, we use SetUnhandledExceptionFilter to catch EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW.
+//!
+//! WASI is not currently supported (no signal handling available).
