## Objective

Ship `.heml` highlighting into specific editors only after repo-owned syntax/query behavior exists and release authority is explicit.

## Authority

`docs/editor-support.md` names VS Code, Cursor, and Neovim setup, but current repo authority does not grant external marketplace/package publishing from this work-graph mapping goal.

## Close when

- The target editor/provider is named.
- The package owner, signing/publishing credentials, and release process are explicit.
- The provider package consumes repo-owned query/fixture facts rather than becoming a separate syntax authority.

## Verification

- Provider-specific install/manual smoke, named by the future implementation slice.
- Repo-owned query fixture tests from `SLICE-0011` remain green.

## Non-goals

- Do not publish marketplace packages or mutate external editor registries under the current authority.
- Do not fork syntax behavior per editor.

## Evidence

This is intentionally blocked by missing external release authority, not by an implementation guess.
