"""
Utilities for discovering and loading Pynenc application instances.
The CLI uses ``--app`` to locate the user's ``Pynenc`` instance. Accepted
formats (see :func:`find_app_instance`):
- **module.attr** -- ``tasks.app`` imports ``tasks`` module, finds the ``Pynenc`` instance.
- **package.module** -- ``mypackage.tasks`` standard Python import.
- **file path** -- ``path/to/tasks.py`` loads the file directly.
Key components:
- find_app_instance: Main entry point for ``--app`` resolution.
- extract_module_info: Extracts module metadata from a live Pynenc instance.
- create_app_from_info: Re-hydrates a Pynenc instance from stored AppInfo.
