 ### Fixed
 
+- XSD identity-constraint errors now locate the offending field, not just the element (#104): a single-field `key`/`keyref`/`unique` error extends the coding path with the field itself, an attribute (`... at path: list/item[2]/@id`) or a child element (`.../code`), resolved from the constraint's field XPath. keyref scope resolution is confirmed to resolve a key declared on an ancestor element (cross-scope), with a test. Full XSD qualified-node-set conformance for pathological multi-level same-name nesting remains part of the conformance-corpus work.
 - XSD identity-constraint errors (`key`, `keyref`, `unique`) now carry a coding path locating the actual offending element, instead of always rendering "at root of document". The `IdentityValidator` walk threads a `[PathKey]` the same way the content-model validator does, and each error is located at the selected target node, so a duplicate-key failure reports "... at path: list/item[2]" and a dangling keyref "... at path: orders/line" rather than an empty path. This brings the identity-constraint rule into line with the validation framework's path-carrying contract, which every other rule already honored. The "no element declaration for the root" XSD error is likewise located at the root element, matching the namespace check beside it.
 - A `<template>` element's flow content is now kept nested inside it (`<template><div>x</div></template>`) instead of being split out into the body (#83). `template` is built as body flow content rather than routed to the head.
