  Description     : whitespace‑normalizing utility for multiline strings

dedent takes any template literal or multiline text and normalizes its left‑margin by removing shared leading whitespace. This makes it ideal for formatting embedded snippets, generating readable help messages, or cleaning up code blocks without manually adjusting spacing. It preserves intentional indentation inside the text while eliminating the accidental indentation caused by nesting code, giving you clean, predictable output every time.
