ProviderKind variant missing from PROVIDER_REGISTRY

Error message

ProviderKind variant missing from PROVIDER_REGISTRY

What it means

provider_for_kind() looks up a ProviderKind in the static PROVIDER_REGISTRY and unwraps, since every ProviderKind variant is required to have a registered provider descriptor. The panic fires only when a new ProviderKind variant is added without a matching registry entry — a build-time omission.
