+ * Split an orval-generated zod "tags" file (one file per OpenAPI tag, containing
+ * every operation's schemas/constants for that tag) into per-operation files,
+ * with a barrel re-export at the original path.
+ *
+ * Why: orval's zod generator inlines every $ref recursively (orval#2535), so a
+ * single tag file can be multiple megabytes. Rolldown does not tree-shake unused
+ * exports out of that file — importing one constant pulls the whole thing into
+ * the chunk. Physically splitting by operation lets the bundler include only
+ * the operation files actually referenced.
+ *
+ * Returns the number of per-operation files written, or 0 if the file did not
+ * look like a tags-mode zod output (e.g. it was already a barrel, or had no
+ * top-level `export const`).
