We'll continue wrapping them with `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)` so CLI UX stays identical even though underlying error text becomes richer. No API gaps found; plan to stick with `yaml.MapSlice` when we need ordered output (not currently required). 4. **Dependency update** - Run `go get github.com/goccy/go-yaml@latest` to add the module, then remove `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` imports from `go.mod`.
