Highlight pack — minimal example

A near-empty starter for building your own highlight pack. Rename id and name to something unique (alphanumeric / hyphen / underscore only) and add rules. Import via Settings → Syntax Highlighting → Import pack…, or drop the file directly into $SUPPORT_DIR/highlight/<id>.json.

The schema is documented in Advanced → Syntax highlighting. Use the rule playground to test patterns against real captures before saving.
