Magic syntax

jc-rs filejc-rs runs the command itself and parses what it prints. Recognised for: `file`

Source: crates/jc-rs-parsers/src/system/file.rs. jc-rs targets the schemas defined by the original Python tool. Fixture coverage above is the measured evidence for this parser; test the inputs your pipeline depends on. Compare
