+"""
+Reduce run-clang-tidy output to its unique errors.
+
+It does two things:
+
+  1. Filters the raw output down to diagnostics and their source-context lines
+     (the indented "  103 | ..." / "      | ^" lines clang-tidy prints),
+     matching the "path:line:col: error:" diagnostic shape.
+
+  2. Deduplicates. The same diagnostic in a header is reported once per
+     translation unit that includes it, so identical error blocks are collapsed
+     to their first occurrence.
+
+An "error block" is an "error:" line together with the indented context lines
+and any "note:" lines that follow it (up to the next "error:" line). Blocks are
+compared as a whole, so an error stays attached to its own context, and
+first-occurrence order is preserved.
+
+The deduplicated output goes to stdout; a summary of unique error counts per
+check is printed to stderr.
+
+Usage:
+  bin/filter-clang-tidy.py [INPUT_FILE]            # read from file, or
+  run-clang-tidy ... | bin/filter-clang-tidy.py    # read from stdin

+# A clang-tidy diagnostic line looks like "path:line:col: error: msg [check]".
+# Matching on that shape (rather than a loose "error" substring) avoids treating
+# progress lines whose paths contain "error" as diagnostics, e.g.
+#   [284/850][0.7s] /nix/.../clang-tidy ... src/.../error.cpp
