+"""
+Lazy, Windows-safe integration with the optional NOOA agent framework
+(nooa==0.0.10), used exclusively by extract.dimensions.
+
+NOOA is imported lazily so that a plain `import wrangles` never imports nooa
+or litellm. NOOA 0.0.10 also makes two import-time assumptions that don't
+hold on native Windows:
+  - nooa/storage/__init__.py eagerly imports nooa/storage/sqlite.py, which
+    does `import fcntl` (POSIX-only) at module level.
+  - nooa/__init__.py unconditionally installs a SIGUSR2 debug-dump handler,
+    and `signal.SIGUSR2` doesn't exist as an attribute on Windows' `signal`
+    module at all (an AttributeError nooa's own `except (ValueError,
+    OSError)` doesn't catch).
+_ensure_windows_guard() stubs just enough for `import nooa` to succeed on
+Windows without enabling real file locking or Unix signal handling - SQLite
+persistence and signal-based debugging remain unsupported there, which is
+fine since this integration only uses the default in-memory event store.
