 ### Architecture
 
 ```
-parse(source) → tokenize → trim_standalone_whitespace → parse_section → Template
+parse(source, path) → tokenize → trim_standalone_whitespace → parse_section → Template
 render(tmpl, data, partials) → render_nodes (walks flat node array against context stack) → string
 ```
 
 - **Two-phase API**: `parse()` produces a reusable `Template`, `render()` walks it against data. Templates parsed once, rendered many times.
-- **Flat `[dynamic]Node` array** with `first_child`/`child_count` indices — pre-order layout.
+- **Flat `[dynamic]Node` array** with `children: []Node` slices (pre-order layout; slices point into the backing array). Each `Node` carries `pos: int` (byte offset into source) for diagnostics.
+- **`Template`** carries `source` and `path` — used by diagnostics to show file location and source context.
 - **Context stack**: `^[dynamic]any` with `append`/`pop` for section push/pop.
+- **`render_nodes` takes `Template` by value** (not `^Template`) — Odin's calling convention promotes to pointer when efficient. Eliminates "local copy" patterns at call sites.
+- **`Block_Override.source: Template`** — carries the template that defined the override, so warnings inside block overrides point at the correct file.
 - **`base_value`** peels Named/Distinct/Union layers (including `json.Value`). Also unwraps nested `any`-of-`any` (which occurs when `map[string]any` values are read via runtime map internals).
 - **`lookup_in`** resolves keys on structs (via `reflect.struct_field_value_by_name` with `allow_using = true`) and maps. Detects `Type_Info_Any` value kind in maps and reads the inner any directly to avoid double-wrap.
 - **Template inheritance**: `{{<parent}}` loads parent from partials, `{{$block}}` defines overridable sections. `merge_block_overrides` propagates overrides through multi-level chains.
 - **Dynamic partial names**: `{{>*key}}` resolves partial name from data context at render time.
+- **Render-time partial indentation**: `Indent_State` threads `at_line_start` through `render_nodes` so partial indent is applied at render time (via `write_indented` on Text nodes) instead of reparsing the partial's source. `render_template` writes initial indent, creates state, calls `render_nodes`. Data-injected newlines don't pick up indent (Variables don't update `at_line_start`).
+
+### Diagnostics
+
+Rust-style error messages with multi-line source context, caret underlines, and Levenshtein suggestions. ANSI colors via `core:terminal/ansi`, gated on `should_colorize()` (TTY detection on stderr).
+
+**Error types**: `Error_Body{msg, pos, kind}` where `kind` is `Error_Kind.Syntax` (parse-time) or `Error_Kind.Data` (render-time). `Error` is a single-variant union wrapping `Error_Body` (nilable for `!= nil` / `or_return`).
+
+**Strict-by-default warnings** — `render_nodes` emits `log.warnf` diagnostics for:
+- Unknown keys in `{{k}}`, `{{{k}}}`, `{{#k}}`, `{{^k}}` (via `validate_key_path` + `suggest_correction`)
+- Missing partials (`{{> name}}` not in partials map)
+- Missing parent templates (`{{<name}}` not in partials map)
+- Unmatched block overrides (`{{$name}}` doesn't match any block in parent template)
+
+**Exceptions** (no warning):
+- `{{.}}` and dot-prefixed names (current context)
+- Paths that cross a map (e.g., `params.*` — user-defined namespace)
+- `Maybe(bool)` fields with nil value (field exists, value is nil — distinguished via `struct_has_field`)
+
+**Block override source tracking**: `Block_Override.source: Template` ensures warnings inside block overrides point at the override's source file (e.g., `page.html`), not the parent template (`base.html`).
